Terms of Service

1. Introduction

Welcome to Loopsauce, the ultimate platform for music producers and loop makers. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Loopsauce's website, services, and applications (the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the Terms, you may not access the Service.

2. Definitions

• "Content" refers to audio loops, samples, and any other audio materials, including but not limited to WAV files, MP3 files, MIDI files, and other audio formats uploaded to the Service.
• "User" refers to any individual who accesses or uses the Service, whether registered or unregistered.
• "Loop Maker" refers to any User who uploads Content to the Service.
• "Producer" refers to any User who downloads and uses Content from the Service.

3. Account Registration

To access certain features of the Service, you may be required to register for an account. When you register, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information about yourself. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security.

4. Content License and Ownership

When you upload Content to the Service as a Loop Maker, you retain all ownership rights to your Content. However, by uploading Content, you grant Loopsauce and its users a license based on the terms you select during the upload process (e.g., a 50/50 royalty split). This license allows users to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the Content in connection with the Service, in accordance with the agreed terms.

For Producers who download Content from the Service, you are granted a non-exclusive license to use the Content in your music productions, subject to the specific license terms associated with each piece of Content. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, you may not:

• Resell, redistribute, or license any Content obtained through the Service in its original form;
• Claim ownership or authorship of any Content you did not create;
• Use the Content in ways that violate applicable laws or regulations.

Some Content may be subject to additional licensing terms as specified by the Loop Maker. It is your responsibility to review and comply with these terms before using the Content.

5. Collaboration and Royalty Agreements

Our platform enables effortless collaboration between Loop Makers and Producers. Loop Makers can track who downloads their loops and monitor all collaboration agreements in one place. Producers who use loops in their projects must adhere to the royalty agreements set by the Loop Maker. For sales on platforms like BeatStars, Producers must set the Loop Maker as a collaborator. For sales outside of BeatStars, proper credit to the Loop Maker is required.

6. User Responsibilities

As a User of the Service, you agree not to:

• Upload Content that infringes upon the intellectual property rights of others;

• Use automated scripts or bots to access the Service without our explicit permission;
• Impersonate any person or entity, or falsely state or misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity.

7. Monetization and Revenue Sharing

Loop Makers can monetize their talent by earning royalties from every download. Producers can scale their sales by collaborating with Loop Makers to create unique beats and sharing profits from every sale. Our transparent royalty system ensures that all parties are fairly compensated.
