TERMS OF SERVICE

Last Updated: 26 August 2026

Introduction

Welcome to MetronCore (“we,” “our,” or “us”), the owner and operator of the MusicDoodles music label.

These Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Music License Agreement govern access to and use of our website, our music catalog, our licensing services, and all related products and content made available through our platform.

By accessing our website, listening to our music, purchasing a license, downloading content, or otherwise using our services, you agree to be bound by the provisions applicable to that activity. If you do not agree with these terms, you must not use the website or any of our services.

Purchases of music licenses are additionally governed by the Music License Agreement set out below. A copy of the Music License Agreement may also be supplied with the purchased Music.

Payments for licensed products are processed through Paddle, which acts as Merchant of Record. Checkout, payment processing, tax collection, invoicing, fraud prevention, and certain refund operations are managed by Paddle under its own applicable terms and policies.

Definitions

“Music” means the musical composition and sound recording embodied in the Licensed Track, including any supplied versions, mixes, edits, stems, or other audio files expressly included with the purchased product.

“Licensed Track” means the specific individual music track identified on the applicable invoice or order confirmation to which this Agreement applies.

“Licensee” means the individual or legal entity identified as the purchaser on the applicable invoice or order confirmation.

“Project” means a creative production or work in which the Licensed Track is incorporated together with other content, creative elements, functionality, narration, imagery, video, gameplay, commentary, or other material. Projects may include, without limitation, videos, films, advertisements, podcasts, livestreams, games, applications, websites, presentations, social-media content, and similar productions.

“Covered Client” means the specific client for whom the Licensee obtained the license and for whose Projects the Licensed Track may be Used under this Agreement. A Covered Client does not acquire any independent license or right to use, extract, reproduce, license, distribute, or otherwise exploit the Licensed Track outside the permitted Projects for that Covered Client. A broadcaster, platform, distributor, venue, network, or other third party involved solely in the publication, distribution, exhibition, transmission, or broadcast of a permitted Project does not become a Covered Client or acquire any independent rights in the Licensed Track.

“Use” means any incorporation, synchronization, reproduction, editing, publication, distribution, communication, performance, display, broadcast, transmission, or other exploitation of the Licensed Track solely as incorporated into or used as part of a Project, and does not include distribution or exploitation of the Licensed Track as a standalone item.

Services Provided

This website provides:

Royalty-free music licensing products for commercial and non-commercial use.
Streaming and listening access to original music releases.
Information regarding our music catalog, licensing options, and related services.

Music made available through this website may be offered under different usage models. Certain music tracks may be available for licensing, while other releases are made available solely for listening purposes.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Music that is available for licensing is licensed on a per-track basis. Each purchase grants a license only for the individual track identified in the applicable order or purchase confirmation. Purchasing a license for one track does not grant rights to any other track in our catalog.

No Use of a licensable track in a Project is permitted without first obtaining a valid license, regardless of whether the Project is personal, private, educational, non-commercial, commercial, monetized, non-monetized, promotional, business-related, client-related, or otherwise.

The fact that a Project does not generate income, is created only for private purposes, is created for charity, education, or a hobby, or has platform monetization disabled does not eliminate the license requirement.

Future albums, bundles, subscriptions, memberships, custom licenses, or other licensing products may contain different terms or licensing scopes where expressly stated for those products.

No ownership rights are transferred through any purchase, download, stream, or use of content from this website.

Eligibility

You must be legally capable of entering into binding agreements under the laws applicable in your jurisdiction.

If you purchase or license content on behalf of a company, agency, organization, or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to act on behalf of that entity in connection with the purchase.

If you purchase a license for use in Projects for a client, you represent that you have authority to obtain the necessary rights for that client and are responsible for ensuring that the Music is used in accordance with the Music License Agreement.

Age Requirements

You must be at least 18 years old, or have reached the age of legal majority in your country of residence, to purchase a license or enter into an agreement with us. If you are under the applicable age of legal majority, a parent or legal guardian must make the purchase and enter into the agreement on your behalf.

Intellectual Property Ownership

All content available through this website remains owned by us or the applicable rights holder, including, where applicable:

musical compositions;
sound recordings;
masters;
stems;
instrumentals;
artwork;
logos;
branding;
metadata;
text;
graphics;
website design; and
downloadable materials.

No copyright or other intellectual-property ownership is transferred to users, listeners, customers, or licensees.

A music license grants only the specific rights expressly described in the Music License Agreement.

All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

Streaming Releases and Listening Content

Certain music releases made available through this website may be intended solely for listening or preview purposes.

Unless a separate valid license expressly permits otherwise:

no synchronization rights are granted;
no reproduction rights are granted for use in a Project;
no redistribution rights are granted;
no commercial usage rights are granted; and
no right is granted to independently upload, distribute, release, sell, sublicense, or otherwise exploit the Music.

Access to, streaming of, or listening to such Music does not grant a music license.

The availability of Music through our website, YouTube, social media, music streaming services, or any other platform does not mean that the Music is free to use or that a third party has the right to upload, distribute, release, or otherwise exploit the Music through those services.

Royalty-Free Music Licensing

Where a music product is identified as licensable, the purchaser receives a limited license to Use the Licensed Track in accordance with the Music License Agreement set out below.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, each purchase licenses one individual Licensed Track.

A valid license is required for every Use of a Licensed Track in a Project.

The purchase of a license does not transfer ownership of any:

copyright;
publishing rights;
neighbouring rights;
master rights;
composition rights;
trademark rights; or
other intellectual-property rights.

The term “royalty-free” describes the licensing model and does not mean that the Music is free of copyright, in the public domain, or free to use without obtaining the required license.

Original Music

All music released under the MusicDoodles music label consists of original human-composed and human-produced works.

All copyright, neighbouring rights, master rights, publishing rights, composition rights, and other intellectual-property rights remain owned by MetronCore or the applicable rights holder.

No purchase, download, stream, or license transfers ownership of those rights.

Prohibited Website Use

Users may not:

gain unauthorized access to systems, servers, or restricted areas;
interfere with website functionality;
scrape, harvest, or systematically extract website content without authorization;
copy or mirror website content without permission;
misuse download systems;
impersonate individuals or organizations;
distribute malware or harmful code;
circumvent security or access restrictions; or
use the website for unlawful purposes.

Payments

Payments are processed through Paddle as Merchant of Record.

We do not directly collect or store full payment-card information. Transactions may be subject to Paddle’s checkout procedures, payment requirements, tax handling, fraud-prevention measures, invoicing procedures, and related operational policies.

A Music license becomes valid only after the applicable payment has been successfully completed and the purchased product has been made available to the Licensee.

If a purchase is validly refunded, reversed, cancelled, or otherwise invalidated, the corresponding license ceases to be valid unless otherwise required by applicable law or expressly agreed by us in writing.

Refunds and Digital Delivery

Digital Music and license products are normally made available immediately following successful payment.

Payments, refunds, chargebacks, transaction disputes and payment-processing activities are administered by Paddle as Merchant of Record.

Refund eligibility and refund processing are governed primarily by Paddle’s applicable buyer terms and refund policies together with any mandatory rights available under applicable law.

Customers seeking a refund should therefore use Paddle’s applicable buyer-support or refund process.

Because the products consist of digital content and licensing rights that may be supplied immediately, rights of withdrawal or cancellation may be affected once performance or delivery has begun, where the legally required consent and acknowledgement have been obtained during the purchase process.

If a downloaded Music file is corrupted, incomplete, or technically defective, the customer should contact us. Where reasonably possible, we will provide a replacement or corrected file. A correctable technical problem will normally be resolved by replacing the defective file.

Fraudulent chargebacks, fraudulent payment disputes, or abuse of refund procedures may result in suspension or termination of access or license rights, subject to applicable law.

If Paddle validly refunds, reverses, or cancels the purchase of a license, the corresponding license ceases to be valid unless otherwise required by applicable law or expressly agreed by us in writing. The former Licensee must then cease future Use of the Licensed Track under that license.

Availability

We do not guarantee:

uninterrupted operation;
permanent availability;
error-free access;
continuous download access; or
compatibility with every system, device, software application, or third-party service.

Services may be modified, suspended, updated, restricted, or discontinued.

Licensees are responsible for securely storing downloaded Music files and their purchase and license documentation.

Discontinuation of the website, a download facility, or a Music product does not by itself invalidate a license that was validly granted before discontinuation, except where that license is terminated in accordance with the Music License Agreement.

Third-Party Platforms and Services

We do not control third-party platforms or services, including social-media platforms, video platforms, streaming platforms, payment providers, hosting providers, analytics providers, or other external services.

We cannot guarantee their continued availability, functionality, policies, monetization rules, copyright systems, algorithms, technical requirements, or business practices.

We are not responsible for changes, restrictions, suspensions, removals, demonetization, technical failures, automated claims, or other actions taken by third-party platforms.

A Music license grants rights only in relation to our Music as expressly provided by the Music License Agreement. It does not grant rights belonging to third parties and does not guarantee that a Project complies with the separate rules, terms, policies, laws, or technical requirements applicable to any third-party platform or service.

Disclaimer

The website, services, content, Music, licenses, downloads, and website functionality are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

We disclaim implied warranties concerning matters including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted access, and compatibility.

Users are responsible for listening to Music and audio content at an appropriate volume and in circumstances where listening to audio is safe. We are not responsible for harm resulting from unsafe, excessive, or inappropriate listening to audio content, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Descriptions, genres, moods, categories, previews, and other information relating to Music are provided for general guidance only and do not guarantee that any Music will be suitable for a particular Project, purpose, platform, audience, or technical environment.

Nothing in this section excludes the express warranty contained in the Music License Agreement or any warranty, consumer right, remedy, or liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

Limitation of Liability

We shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential losses arising from or relating to the website, services, Music, downloads, licenses, or their use, including:

lost profits;
lost revenue;
business interruption;
data loss;
third-party platform failures;
project delays; or
unauthorized or improper use of licensed content.

Our aggregate liability arising from the relevant purchase shall not exceed the amount paid for that purchase.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

Suspension and Termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to our website or services where reasonably necessary because:

these Terms are materially violated;
fraudulent activity occurs;
fraudulent payment activity occurs;
unauthorized use of our Music or services is detected; or
suspension or termination is otherwise reasonably necessary to protect our legal rights, systems, customers, or services.

Termination of access to the website does not by itself revoke a previously valid Music license.

A Music license may, however, be terminated in accordance with the breach and termination provisions of the Music License Agreement.

Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time to reflect changes to our website, services, business activities, or legal requirements.

Changes will apply prospectively from the effective date of the updated version unless applicable law requires otherwise.

The current version and its “Last Updated” date will be made available on this website.

Severability and No Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision shall be limited or modified only to the extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in effect.

Failure or delay by us in exercising or enforcing any right under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right.

A waiver on one occasion does not constitute a waiver of the same or another right on another occasion.

Governing Law

These Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy, the Music License Agreement are governed by the laws of the Netherlands.

MUSIC LICENSE AGREEMENT

Last Updated: 26 August 2026

This Music License Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between MetronCore (“Licensor,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), owner and operator of the MusicDoodles music label, and the individual or legal entity identified as the purchaser on the applicable invoice or order confirmation (“Licensee”).

This Agreement applies exclusively to the music track identified on that invoice or order confirmation (“Licensed Track”). The applicable invoice or order confirmation forms part of this Agreement for the purpose of identifying the Licensee, the Licensed Track, the purchase date, and the relevant transaction.

Upon successful payment, the Licensor grants the Licensee the rights described in this Agreement, subject to all terms and restrictions set out below.

1. Definitions

“Licensed Track” means the specific individual music track identified on the applicable invoice or order confirmation to which this Agreement applies.

“Licensee” means the individual or legal entity identified as the purchaser on the applicable invoice or order confirmation.

Merely listening to or previewing Music through functionality expressly provided by the Licensor or an authorized streaming platform does not constitute Use under this Agreement.

A valid license is required for every Use of the Licensed Track in a Project, regardless of whether the Project is personal, private, educational, non-commercial, commercial, monetized, non-monetized, promotional, client-related, business-related, or otherwise. The purpose, nature, profitability, or monetization status of a Project does not remove the requirement to obtain a license.

Examples of permitted Projects or Uses provided in this Agreement are illustrative rather than exhaustive. A Use that is not specifically listed is not automatically prohibited, provided that it falls within the rights expressly granted by this Agreement and does not violate any restriction in this Agreement.

2. License Grant

Upon successful payment and subject to continued compliance with this Agreement, the Licensor grants the Licensee a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to Use the Licensed Track identified in the applicable invoice or order confirmation in accordance with this Agreement.

The license is perpetual unless terminated in accordance with this Agreement.

The license applies only to the individual Licensed Track identified in the applicable invoice or order confirmation.

One purchased license may be used in multiple permitted Projects for the Licensee itself or in multiple permitted Projects for the same Covered Client for whom the license was obtained.

The completed Project may be delivered to and used by the Covered Client in accordance with this Agreement.

A license obtained for one Covered Client may not be reused for another client. A separate license must be purchased for each different client.

Ownership of the Licensed Track and its underlying rights is never transferred.

The Licensee may not sell, assign, transfer, sublicense, or otherwise grant the rights under this Agreement to any third party except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.

Future products such as albums, bundles, subscriptions, memberships, enterprise arrangements, or custom licenses may contain additional or different terms where expressly stated.

3. License Fee and Validity

All rights granted under this Agreement are conditional upon successful payment of the applicable purchase price.

The license becomes valid when payment has been successfully completed and the purchased product has been made available to the Licensee.

If the purchase is validly refunded, reversed, cancelled, or otherwise invalidated, the corresponding license ceases to be valid unless otherwise required by applicable law or expressly agreed by the Licensor in writing.

4. Permitted Uses

Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, permitted Uses may include:

personal and private Projects;
non-commercial Projects;
educational Projects;
YouTube videos;
social-media content;
podcasts;
livestreams;
websites;
applications;
games;
films;
documentaries;
animations;
presentations;
events and exhibitions;
advertisements;
online and social-media advertising;
branded or sponsored content;
client Projects;
commercial productions;
television, radio, cinema, and other broadcast or audiovisual media; and
other audiovisual, interactive, or creative productions in which the Licensed Track functions as incorporated or supporting content rather than as a substitute for the Music itself.

All such Uses require a valid license for the Licensed Track.

The Licensee may commercially exploit and monetize permitted Projects incorporating the Licensed Track, including through advertising revenue, sponsorships, subscriptions, sales, paid access, client work, broadcasting, or other lawful commercial activity. There is no restriction under this Agreement on the amount of revenue or profit that may be generated by a permitted Project.

This permission applies only to the exploitation and monetization of the Project in which the Licensed Track is incorporated. It does not grant the Licensee any right to commercially exploit, monetize, sell, license, distribute, stream, release, or otherwise make the Licensed Track itself available as standalone or substantially standalone music.

This list is illustrative and not exhaustive. Other types of Projects are permitted where they fall within the License Grant and do not violate any restriction contained in this Agreement.

Uses not permitted by this Agreement remain prohibited unless authorized by the Licensor in writing.

5. Permitted Editing

The Licensee may make reasonable technical or creative edits necessary to incorporate the Licensed Track into a permitted Project, including cutting, trimming, looping, fading, adjusting volume or timing, and mixing the Music with dialogue, sound effects, or other Project audio.

These editing rights do not permit the creation, distribution, or exploitation of a new standalone musical work, including as a song, track, beat, loop, sample, stem, sound effect, music pack, sound library, or other audio asset derived from the Licensed Track.

6. Client Work

A Licensee may obtain a license for use in Projects produced for a Covered Client.

Where a license is obtained for a Covered Client:

the Licensed Track may be incorporated into multiple permitted Projects for that same Covered Client;
the same license may not be used for a different client;
a separate license is required for each different client;
ownership of the Licensed Track remains with the Licensor; and
the Covered Client receives no independent general license or relicensing rights in the Licensed Track.

The completed Project may be delivered to and used by the Covered Client in accordance with this Agreement.

The Covered Client may use the Licensed Track only as incorporated into Projects covered by the applicable license. The Covered Client may not extract the Licensed Track or independently use it for another purpose.

If the Covered Client wishes to independently use the Licensed Track outside the Projects covered by that license, the Covered Client must obtain its own license.

7. Third-Party Production Assistance

The Licensee may provide the Licensed Track to employees, contractors, editors, agencies, production companies, or other service providers only where reasonably necessary for them to work on a permitted Project for the Licensee or the Covered Client covered by the license.

Such persons receive no independent license and may not use the Licensed Track for another client, Project, or purpose outside the scope of the applicable license.

The Licensee remains responsible for ensuring that such persons comply with the restrictions of this Agreement.

8. Prohibited Uses

Unless expressly authorized by the Licensor in writing, the Licensee may not:

resell, sublicense, redistribute, rent, lease, gift, or otherwise provide or make available the Licensed Track as a standalone or substantially standalone audio file or musical work, including where a Project merely functions as a substitute for obtaining or listening to the Licensed Track itself;
include, upload, distribute, or make available the Licensed Track, or any portion or derivative thereof, in or as a music library, stock library, beat pack, loop pack, sample pack, sound library, collection, database, template library, or similar audio product or service;
claim ownership or authorship of the Licensed Track, claim or imply exclusive rights in it, or register or assert copyright or other proprietary rights or claims over it;
provide third parties with independent access to the Licensed Track, or permit them to extract, download, copy, or independently use it, except as expressly permitted for production assistance under this Agreement;
release or distribute the Licensed Track, or any substantially similar, superficially modified, remixed, sampled, chopped, adapted, or derivative musical version thereof, as a standalone musical release, including as a song, single, album, EP, soundtrack release, or similar release;
add vocals, instruments, effects, or other musical material to the Licensed Track for the purpose of creating a new standalone musical recording, or upload or distribute any such recording through music streaming or music distribution services;
use the Licensed Track in a service, template, generator, application, or system that allows end users to independently select, extract, customize, generate, download, or obtain the Music itself;
use the Licensed Track to train, develop, test, improve, or fine-tune any artificial-intelligence or machine-learning model, or include it in any AI-training or machine-learning dataset;
tokenize or mint the Licensed Track as an NFT or similar blockchain-based asset;
use the Licensed Track in content that is unlawful, defamatory, hateful, abusive, discriminatory, fraudulent, deliberately misleading, harmful, pornographic, sexually explicit, adult-service-related, extremist, political, religious, gambling-related, recreational or illegal drug-related, weapons-related, or related to deceptive financial practices, or use the Licensed Track to advertise, promote, endorse, or advocate any such content, activity, product, service, organization, or cause, including election or referendum campaigns or any political party, candidate, campaign, political organization, or electoral cause;
use the Licensed Track in a manner that falsely implies the Licensor’s endorsement, sponsorship, affiliation, or approval of any person, company, product, service, organization, cause, movement, or other entity; or
remove, falsify, or deliberately alter copyright, ownership, authorship, or rights-management information associated with the Licensed Track.

9. Intellectual Property

All copyrights, publishing rights, neighbouring rights, master rights, composition rights, and associated intellectual-property rights in the Licensed Track remain exclusively owned by the Licensor.

The creation of edits, adaptations, synchronized productions, or modified versions of the Licensed Track does not transfer ownership of the original Music or any underlying intellectual-property rights.

No permitted editing, synchronization, mixing, processing, or combination of the Licensed Track with other material creates an ownership interest in the underlying Music.

Nothing in this Agreement constitutes a sale or assignment of copyright or other intellectual-property rights.

All rights not expressly granted under this Agreement remain reserved.

10. Royalty-Free License

The license granted under this Agreement is royalty-free. Following payment of the applicable license fee, the Licensee and any Covered Client are not required to pay the Licensor recurring, per-use, per-view, revenue-based, or similar usage royalties for permitted Uses of the Licensed Track under this Agreement.

The Licensee and any Covered Client may commercially exploit and monetize permitted Projects without owing additional license fees or usage royalties to the Licensor solely because of the Project’s audience size, number of views, revenue, distribution, broadcast, or public exhibition.

Royalty-free does not transfer ownership of the Licensed Track or grant any right to exploit the Licensed Track independently from a permitted Project.

11. Attribution

No attribution or credit is required unless expressly stated otherwise in writing for a particular product.

12. Content ID and Copyright Systems

The Licensee may monetize Projects incorporating the Licensed Track where the Project otherwise complies with this Agreement.

The Licensee may not register the Licensed Track, in whole or in part, in YouTube Content ID, Meta Rights Manager, audio-fingerprinting systems, automated copyright-enforcement systems, or similar ownership or rights-verification systems.

The Licensee may not assert ownership of the Licensed Track through any automated rights-management system.

This restriction applies even where the Licensed Track has been edited, shortened, looped, mixed, processed, or combined with other material.

Because the Licensed Track is licensed on a non-exclusive basis and may lawfully be used by multiple licensees, registration of the Licensed Track in such systems by a Licensee could generate ownership claims against other authorized users and interfere with their permitted Projects. Any such unauthorized registration constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.

Unauthorized registration may result in license termination, takedown or removal requests, legal enforcement, and claims for damages where permitted by law.

13. Assignment and Organizational Changes

The Licensee may not sell, assign, transfer, sublicense, or otherwise transfer the license or underlying Music rights to another person or legal entity.

If a transfer becomes necessary because of a merger, acquisition, corporate restructuring, change of legal entity, sale of a business, succession, or similar organizational change, the Licensee must contact the Licensor to request written permission.

No such transfer is effective without the Licensor’s written approval.

14. No Exclusivity

Other persons may license and use the same Licensed Track, including in Projects in the same industry or of a similar nature.

No market, industry, client, territory, or competitor exclusivity is granted unless expressly agreed otherwise by the Licensor in writing.

15. Third-Party Platforms

The Licensor does not control third-party platforms on which a Project may be published, distributed, displayed, monetized, or otherwise made available.

The Licensor does not guarantee the continued availability, policies, monetization rules, copyright systems, technical requirements, algorithms, or actions of such platforms.

This Agreement grants rights in the Licensed Track only. It does not guarantee that a Project complies with the separate terms, policies, technical requirements, or other rules of a third-party platform.

The Licensee should retain the applicable invoice or order confirmation together with this Agreement as evidence of the license where proof of licensing is required.

16. Breach and Termination

A material breach of this Agreement may result in termination of the applicable license.

Material breaches may include unauthorized redistribution, resale or sublicensing, false ownership claims, unauthorized Content ID registration, Use outside the granted license, unauthorized AI training, or fraud relating to the purchase or license.

A breach may result in:

termination of license rights;
takedown or removal requests;
legal enforcement; and
claims for damages.

Where a breach is capable of being remedied, the Licensor may require the Licensee to remedy the breach within a reasonable period.

Upon termination of a license, the Licensee must cease future Use, publication, distribution, and exploitation of the Licensed Track under that license and, where reasonably possible, remove the Licensed Track from Projects remaining under the Licensee’s control.

Unauthorized Use of the Licensed Track outside the scope of this Agreement may constitute copyright infringement.

Provisions concerning ownership, restrictions on claiming rights in the Music, liability, accrued obligations, and other provisions that by their nature are intended to survive termination shall continue to apply.

17. Warranty

The Licensor warrants that it owns or controls the rights necessary to grant the license described in this Agreement.

Provided that the Licensee Uses the Licensed Track within the scope of this Agreement, the Licensor warrants that it has authority to permit that Use.

Except for these express warranties and rights that cannot legally be excluded, the Licensed Track is provided “as is.”

18. Liability Limitation

The Licensor shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential losses, including lost profits, lost revenue, business interruption, project delays, or actions taken by third-party platforms arising from Use of the Licensed Track.

The Licensor’s aggregate liability arising from or relating to the applicable license shall not exceed the amount paid for that license.

19. Withdrawal of Music

In exceptional circumstances, legal, regulatory, rights-related, or other circumstances beyond the Licensor’s reasonable control may require a Licensed Track to be withdrawn or its future Use to be restricted.

Where reasonably necessary, the Licensor may notify affected Licensees and require future Use of the affected Licensed Track to cease. The Licensor may offer replacement Music or another reasonable solution.

20. Changes to the Music License Agreement

The Licensor may update the standard Music License Agreement from time to time.

Changes apply prospectively from the effective date of the updated version unless applicable law requires otherwise.

A license validly purchased under an earlier version of this Agreement will not have its fundamental granted usage rights retroactively reduced solely because the standard Agreement is later changed, unless the Licensee agrees to the change or the change is required by law.

21. Severability and No Waiver

If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision shall be limited or modified only to the extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in effect.

Failure or delay by the Licensor in exercising or enforcing a right under this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of that right. A waiver on one occasion does not constitute a waiver of the same or another right on another occasion.

22. Entire Agreement and Relationship with Website Terms
