Thanks for using Session Loops web services. These terms of service ("Agreement") cover your use and access to the services and websites ("Services") provided by Session Loops Inc. Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use your information while our Acceptable Use and Fair Usage Policy outlines your responsibilities when using our Services.
By using our Services, you're agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and to review our Privacy and Acceptable Use and Fair Usage Policy . If you're using our Services for an organization, you're agreeing to the terms of this Agreement on behalf of that organization.
By using or accessing the Services, you agree to all the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement. If, at any time, you do not or cannot agree to the terms of this Agreement, you must stop accessing or using the Services.
The Session Loops Service is a curated royalty-free sample library and sample editor that allows you to edit and download certain audio files, sound recordings, samples, one shots, single hits, beats, loops and similar items (collectively, “Samples”) from our website or any other support, so you can use it for your projects, as well as for getting inspiration for new ideas. You are allowed to use the Samples as long as you follow these terms (including our Acceptable Use and Fair Usage Policy).
To download a Sample and use it in accordance with these terms, you will need to redeem a fixed number of credits (“Credits”). You may obtain Credits as part of your subscription or as add-on (please see our Pricing page for more details). We may also, from time to time, offer some of the Samples for free and/or for a limited period of time, including via free trials or other offers (which may be subject to specific terms and conditions). You need Credits only to download Samples; you don’t need to redeem any Credit for previewing or auditioning Samples, or to save them for future use in your list (as long as you don’t download them). Once you redeem Credits for a Sample, you can download it again as many times as you wish without redeeming any additional Credits. If you download a Sample file that is faulty, you may request a repaired or corrected Sample file; we may at our discretion decide to refund your Credits instead.
We want to make your Samples experience as smooth and easy as possible. Therefore, under the terms of this Agreement, you’re given a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, non-transferable and non-sublicensable, license (i) to reproduce the Samples, with or without modifications, solely for their incorporation into your Recordings (as defined below), and (ii) to reproduce, distribute, transmit, publicly perform or display, communicate and make available to the public, and to otherwise use the Samples (with or without modifications thereto) solely as so incorporated into such Recordings, in all media and formats whether now known or hereafter created, including for commercial purposes (the “Samples License”).
For clarity, (i) this Samples License allows you to modify, reproduce, distribute, transmit, publicly perform or display, communicate and make available to the public, and otherwise use the Samples, but only to the extent they are used as part of your Recordings, and (ii) please be aware that it is your responsibility to own or have obtained all rights for any of your Recordings that incorporates our Samples.
Your music is yours. This means that you keep the ownership of all your intellectual property rights in the Recording of your musical work that uses any Sample, but please take note that this doesn’t mean you own any rights on any Sample, even when they are incorporated in your Recordings.
Keep in mind, that this Samples License does not allow you to (i) use any Samples on a stand-alone basis or in isolation, such as sound effects or as loops, (ii) sell, loan, lend, share, give, broadcast, rent, assign or otherwise distribute, transfer, provide or make available to anyone any Samples except as incorporated into your Recording, (iii) use any Sample for the creation of a sound or sample library or as a sound or sample library or part thereof, including for any kind of synthesizer, virtual instrument, sample library, sample-based product or other musical instrument, or (iv) sell, loan, lend, share, give, broadcast, rent, assign or otherwise distribute, transfer, provide or make available to anyone any Sample or any part of the Sample on a stand-alone basis or as repackaged into audio samples, sound libraries or sound effects, except as permitted by Session Loops. Otherwise, you are allowed to use any Sample however you would like, as long as you incorporate the Sample in your Recording and follow the terms under the Sample License.
In addition, (i) any author, composer and performer that have produced the Samples have waived any moral right held by them to allow you to exercise the rights licensed above, and (ii) any author, composer, performer, producer or maker that have produced the Samples have given up any right to collect royalties from you for your use of the Samples, whether directly or through a collecting society under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory licensing scheme or under any applicable tariff. This means that you can use the Samples without concerns of paying royalties or other copyright issues related to the original producers, as long as you follow the terms under the Samples License.
However, please respect that you may not use the name (including any pseudonym), image, or likeness of any artist (such as an author, composer, performer or producer) or maker that have produced a Sample in any way without that artist’s, maker’s or our prior written permission. For example, you may not include the term “Featuring” with the name of an artist associated with a Sample in the title of your Recording. Nothing in this Samples License gives you any permission to assert or imply that you are, or that your use of the Samples is, connected with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by, us, any artist that has produced a Sample, or anyone else.
It is your responsibility to retain all information provided with the Samples as part of the Metadata (as defined below) of any Recording that incorporate our Samples.
Please understand, that if you do not comply with this Samples License, you will likely be at the risk of giving up your rights thereunder automatically. If this happens, your rights will be automatically reinstated when your failure to comply is resolved within 30 days of your discovery of the violation; or upon reinstatement by us.
For clarity, nothing herein affects any right we or anyone having rights in a Sample may have to seek remedies for your non-compliance with this license.

We do not monitor these links, and you use them at your own risk. We are not responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as a result of any such dealings you may have on or through a third party website or as a result of the presence of any third-party advertising on the Services.
