You may not use, modify, resell, sub-license, assign, transfer, otherwise make available or permit access by any third party to the Audio Recordings, except as expressly authorized by this licensing agreement, as outlined in the Allowed Usage section.

You are not required to credit TunePocket or its affiliated composers but you may not claim the Audio Recordings as your own work.

Public Performance Rights for PRO registered Audio Recordings

This Agreement does not provide clearance for performing rights, which are governed by PROs, such as ASCAP, BMI, PRS, and similar organizations in countries throughout the world.

Typically, the performing rights royalties are paid by broadcasters and are not the responsibility of video producers, editors and other typical users of production / stock music. This may not be the case in your country. If you plan to play your media project in public or directly broadcast / stream the project yourself, and if you or the broadcaster / venue does not have a blanket performance rights license, this will be your responsibility to understand and to comply with your country’s copyright laws and to obtain additional performing rights if necessary.

Cancellation and termination

Recurring subscription plans

Cancellation

a) New subscriptions

You can request full refund within 30 days of starting the subscription if you not downloaded any Audio Recordings.

For the subscriptions with the annual and quarterly billing you can request a refund within 7 days of the subscription renewal if you not downloaded any Audio Recordings after the renewal date. Please note that we will charge a 10% processing fee (10% of the renewal payment, $10 minimal fee) to manually terminate the auto-renewed subscriptions, in order to cover the associated administrative and payment processing costs.
