Epidemic Sound – End-User License Terms
Understand your Epidemic Sound integration on Videobolt
TERMS
1. Any use of Epidemic Sound’s music pieces and/or sound effects made available on Videobolt.net (the
“Licensed Works”) by you as the end-user of Videobolt.net (“End-User”) is subject to these End-User
License Terms. For the avoidance of doubt, if you have a subscription or otherwise have been granted a
license directly from Epidemic Sound, such subscription or license might grant you additional rights,
e.g. the right to monetize your content.
2. Subject to the limitations and restrictions set forth below, you as the End-User are hereby granted a
non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license for your own use:
(a) to make copies (including the synchronization right) of the Licensed Works for
the purposes of including them, in whole or part, with your audiovisual productions (“End-User
Productions”) during such time as such Licensed Works are available within Videobolt.net;
and
(b) in perpetuity, to make any End-User Productions created on Videobolt.net
containing any Licensed Works available worldwide within Videobolt.net and anywhere else online.
3. You may only use the Licensed Works under and subject to the rights and licenses granted under or in
accordance with this Agreement, for the purposes of creating End-User Productions. All rights not
expressly granted hereunder are reserved. In particular and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, you are not entitled to:
(a) use any Licensed Work in (i) TV shows, (ii) feature films or documentaries,
(iii) radio/podcast productions or similar, (iv) vignettes/theme songs, or (v) corporate
identification material (meaning sound-logos);
(b) use any Licensed Work in connection with any material that is defamatory,
illegal or inciteful of an illegal act; immoral; racist; hateful or discriminating against any
person based on for example race, nationality, religion, ethnic identity, gender, gender identity or
sexual orientation; constitutes encouragement of violence or use of weapons or that constitutes
disinformation; pornographic; or in a manner or context that otherwise violates any rights of anyone
associated with the any Licensed Works or that otherwise violates any rights of anyone associated
with the any Licensed Works and/or any third party. You shall comply with any applicable laws and
regulations. Moreover, you may not use any Licensed Works in connection with sensitive subjects.
Sensitive subjects include, but are not limited to, political content, such as the promotion,
advertisement or endorsement of any party, candidate or elected official; and “adult videos” and
promotion of adult entertainment venues, escort services, or the like;
(c) change or edit any Licensed Works or parts thereof, but you may cut and loop
them, as well as fade in and out Licensed Works, as required for inclusion in your End-User
Productions;
(d) make available, or in any other way exploit any Licensed Work:
(i) for the purpose of making the Licensed Work (in whole or in part) available
on a stand-alone basis, hence without being synchronized with an End-User Production in
accordance with the purposes of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, uses where
complete or almost complete Licensed Works, on their own or as part of a compilation, are
combined with accompanying visual/narrative elements that are of subordinate importance (such as
still image(s), panning motions or other limited animation/video/audio) or where the production
is tantamount to use of the Licensed Works on a standalone basis, and/or uses of any Licensed
Work(s) in an End-User Production for the purpose of creating a music listening experience;
(ii) in any way that is intended to allow third parties to download and/or
otherwise access or use the Licensed Works on a stand-alone basis, including without limitation
in any digital templates or other applications enabling end users to synchronize or otherwise
combine the Licensed Works with other content, or in any manner enabling users to create or
order on-demand products (such as electronic greeting cards or ringtones) or make the Licensed
Works available in any physical products (e.g. in speakers); or
(iii) in any way to repackage the Licensed Works or upload/use them (in whole
or in part) as for example audio samples, sound libraries, sound effects, music beds or upload
them in any music recognition systems for any purpose and/or in any way use, distribute or
otherwise exploit the Licensed Works your property.
(e) incorporate the Licensed Works in End-User Productions that are produced for
the purpose to be used, licensed, sold or in any other way exploited by any third party; or
(f) incorporate any End-User Production containing any Licensed Works in a
software application or video game.
4. All rights and licenses granted hereunder are non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable and
non-sublicensable.
5. When making End-User Productions available to the public you must provide credits - to the extent
reasonably possible, in relation to uses where it is standard practice to do so or if credits are
provided for other music or content providers - in a form substantially similar in form and substance to
the following: "Artist's Name / Title of Music Pieces / courtesy of Epidemic Sound”. The above credit
will, if possible, be displayed as a hyperlink to www.epidemicsound.com.
6. You acknowledge and agree that you may not allow and receive remuneration from the display of
advertisements, premium pro-rata revenues or other substantially similar forms of monetization, in
connection with making available the End-User Productions on social media or other platforms, such as
YouTube, offering such possibility (i.e. monetize). Epidemic Sound, as a third-party beneficiary to this
Agreement, has the sole right, during and after the term of this Agreement, to monetize on End-User
Productions on all channels and platforms. This means that when making your End-User Productions
available, you may receive a monetization claim from Epidemic Sound, and you undertake not to dispute
such claim. If you wish to be able to monetize your productions, you can find other licenses on the
Epidemic Sound website.
7. Limitations of Liability. Videobolt and Epidemic Sound's total aggregate liability to you arising
from your use of Licensed Works shall be limited to USD ten thousand ($10,000). FOR CLARITY, YOU
UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THIS CAP SHALL EXTEND TO EPIDEMIC SOUND AB AND ITS AFFILIATES, WHICH ARE
EXPRESS THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF YOUR LICENSE TO THE LICENSED WORKS.
