Licensing Terms

Standard packages include final MP3 and/or WAV files and standard marketing usage rights for the client's own brand.

Standard usage rights may include:

• website use
• organic social media
• webinars and virtual events
• internal presentations
• sales videos
• event playback
• general brand content

Unless stated in writing in a signed agreement, standard packages do not include:

• resale or sublicensing rights
• third-party use or licensing to other brands
• broadcast television rights
• radio broadcast rights
• paid media or paid advertising rights
• streaming distribution rights
• stems or individual track layers
• raw session files
• exclusive rights
• full ownership or full buyout

A full buyout or exclusive rights package transfers broader ownership and usage rights to the client.

Full buyout or exclusive rights are only included when explicitly stated in a signed written agreement.

Unless a full buyout is purchased, The Audio Vault retains ownership of:

• underlying concepts and creative ideas
• drafts and unused versions
• working files and raw sessions
• stems and production files
• creative methods and processes
• pre-existing materials incorporated into the project

Use of deliverables in broadcast television, radio, paid advertising, streaming platforms, or other distribution channels beyond standard marketing usage requires a separate written agreement and may require additional licensing fees.

Please contact us before using deliverables in these contexts.

The client is responsible for ensuring that any materials they provide to The Audio Vault — including logos, brand names, photos, videos, names, likenesses, testimonials, and campaign assets — are properly licensed and cleared for use.

The Audio Vault is not responsible for clearing third-party rights in materials submitted by the client.

Unless agreed otherwise in writing, The Audio Vault may display approved final deliverables, client names, logos, and general project descriptions in its portfolio, website, social media, and sales materials.

We will not publish confidential business information without permission.

If you have questions about what rights are included in your package, or if you need expanded licensing for broadcast, paid media, streaming, or other uses, please contact us before using the deliverables in those contexts.
