3 License grant and restrictions

3.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Audiohook hereby grants to you,

(a) for the term of this Agreement, and subject to Audiohook’s continuous right to collect royalties from third parties as provided hereunder, the right to access the Audiohook music catalogue in the Audiohook Website/Online Player, to make copies of the Music Pieces in order to synchronize them, in whole or in part, in your video and podcast productions that are produced for the purpose to be made available on the Channel(s) (the "Customer Productions"); and

(b) for the term of this Agreement and in perpetuity the right to upload and distribute any Customer Production containing any Music Track on the Channel(s), provided that the Customer Production is completed, uploaded, and published on a Channel during the term of this Agreement.

The rights in (a) and (b) above do not include the right to collect public performance royalties with respect to the Music Tracks, or to license any third party the right to exploit any Customer Production, or to exploit any Customer Production in any other method, manner or media than those specifically provided hereunder. Audiohook expressly reserves such rights for itself (except as provided in Section 4).

3.2 The license granted under this Agreement does not cover usage of the Music Tracks in Customer Production(s) constituting advertisements (meaning productions published within paid media space, such as but not limited to online pre/mid/post-rolls). You further have no right to use the Music Tracks in any production that is produced for the purpose to be used, licensed, sold or in any other way exploited by any third party, including that you may not synchronize the Music Tracks with any production that promotes and/or integrates products and/or services of a corporate brand/entity, when such productions are intended to be uploaded or embedded on third party channels or websites.

3.3 You are not allowed to make available or in any other way exploit the Music Tracks on a standalone basis including without limitation that the Music Tracks may not be repackaged (in whole or in part) as for example audio samples, sound libraries, sound effects, or music beds, nor combined with a single still image or limited animation where the production is essentially tantamount to use of the Music Tracks on a standalone basis, meaning uses where complete or almost complete Music Tracks are used and where any accompanying visuals are of a subordinate importance. You can read more in the FAQ HERE. (None of our licenses cover using our music or uploading videos with our music for the purpose of making the music available as a listening experience. The intended use of our music is to boost your stories by pairing it with your video or podcast productions, and not for the purpose of making it available on a stand-alone basis.A stand-alone upload includes when a complete or almost complete track, is uploaded together with a still image (e.g. of the name of the artist and track) or with an image with only a simple panning motion or other limited animations or narratives, on its own or as part of a compilation video, and other uses where complete or almost complete tracks are used and where any accompanying visuals or narratives are of a subordinate importance. Using our music in online radio is also a violation and qualifies as a stand-alone. Therefore, we reserve the right to monetize any videos on YouTube or other platforms constituting stand-alone use.

3.4 You may not use the Music Tracks in connection with any material or otherwise in a manner or context 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; pornographic; or in a manner or context that otherwise violates any rights of anyone associated with the Music Tracks. You shall comply with any applicable laws and regulations. Moreover, you may not use the Music Tracks in connection with sensitive subjects without the prior written consent of Audiohook. 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.

3.5 All rights and licenses granted hereunder are non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-assignable and may not be sub-licensed other than as expressly permitted under this Agreement. You may only use the Music Tracks in accordance with the rights and licenses granted under this Agreement.

4 Monetization

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, you may allow, and receive remuneration from, the display of third-party ads in connection with making available your Customer Productions on the Channel(s) (i.e. monetize). You are responsible for registering the Channel(s) with Audiohook, in accordance with the instructions that Audiohook provides. Audiohook monetizes on unlicensed use of the Music Tracks on YouTube and/or other platforms. Without correct submission, Audiohook is unable to tell a licensed Customer Production from unlicensed use, and thus reserves the right to monetize any Customer Productions containing Music Tracks that are not correctly submitted. Should a Customer Production licensed under this Agreement be monetized or otherwise receive a claim from Audiohook, you may notify Audiohook at hello@audiohook.io and Audiohook will remove such monetization/release the claim. Audiohook will have no responsibility, and will not reimburse you, for any monetization of Customer Productions by Audiohook for any period prior to such Customer Productions having been correctly submitted.

5 Payment

5.1 For the rights granted herein you will be charged a subscription fee at the beginning of each Subscription Period (as defined in 6.1 below), in the amount stated in the subscription section on the website. Audiohook will not refund any subscription fees paid, except as explicitly provided in this Agreement.

5.2 The subscription fee is inclusive of VAT, and is intended for personal use.

5.3 Audiohook may change the subscription fee from time to time and will communicate any such changes to you in advance.

6.4 After termination of this Agreement has taken effect, you are no longer entitled to use and access the music catalogue and shall return to Audiohook, or otherwise destroy or remove from any storage, any and all copies of the music catalogue and the Music Pieces contained therein.

6.5 For clarity, you may continue to distribute Customer Productions in accordance with Section 3.1 (b).

6.6 If you reside in the USA and have purchased a Subscription, you have the right to terminate the Subscription, by sending an e-mail to hello@audiohook.io and receive a full refund within fourteen (14) days of purchase (the “maybe period”), but only if you have not downloaded any Music Track(s) (meaning that you have started to consume the Subscription).
