Terms of Service

1. Accounts and workspaces

Licences belong to a workspace, not to a person, so colleagues can find and use what the business paid for. Give accurate registration details and keep your credentials safe — anyone holding them can act as you, and can download masters the workspace has licensed. You are responsible for what happens under your account.

2. Listening is open; the file is not

Recordings stream in full, free, with no account, so you can judge whether a track works against your project. Streaming is for evaluation. It gives you no right to use the recording in anything, and the master file is not served to anyone who has not licensed it.

3. What a licence covers, and what it never covers

A licence grants a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual right to use the named recording in the ways listed under Coverage on its certificate, for your business. It does not transfer ownership of the recording or the composition.

Coverage is a set of separate rights, not a single permission. Synchronisation in digital media, broadcast, and public performance are different things, and a licence grants only what its certificate lists. Purchases made on this site sell digital commercial use only — video, social, advertising, podcasts, websites, corporate film, games and apps. Broadcast, cinema and public performance are not sold here and are arranged separately: write to info@hitboo.com.

What a licence grants is always the narrower of what you bought and what the recording's rights review granted. We do not represent that any recording is cleared for uses its certificate does not name, and no statement anywhere on the Service should be read as "all rights cleared".

4. Price, payment and delivery

A single recording costs $29 and a whole album $99 (prices are shown before payment and charged in US dollars). Payment is once; there is no subscription and nothing renews. An album purchase licenses the recordings on that album that were cleared at the moment the licence was written, and its price is not reduced if some were not.

Payments are taken by Stripe. Your licence is issued when the payment is confirmed to us, and the certificate and download are available immediately afterwards.

5. Immediate delivery and cancellation

Because the licence and the file are delivered immediately, and because the recording could be heard in full before purchase, a licence cannot be cancelled once the certificate has been issued. This does not affect your rights if something is wrong: if a file is broken or is not the recording the page described, if a certificate does not match what you bought, or if you were charged in error, email info@hitboo.com and we will fix it or refund you.

6. The certificate is the licence

Every licence carries a number in the form HITBOO-XXXXXXXX and is verifiable by anyone at hitboo.com with no account — that is what makes it useful to a client or a clearance desk. The certificate states the recording, the coverage granted, the date, and the version of these terms in force when it was issued.

A licence is frozen at issue. Later changes to these terms, to the recording's rights record, or to the catalogue do not alter a certificate already issued. Where this page and a certificate differ about a particular licence, the certificate governs that licence.

7. Withdrawal, suspension and claims

A recording may stop being licensable — the artist withdraws it, a rights claim arrives, or a reviewer suspends it. When that happens it stops being offered and no new licences are issued for it.

Licences already issued survive. You may keep using the recording within the coverage on your certificate and may keep downloading the file. If a licence was issued in error, or a claim is upheld against a recording you licensed, we will tell you, and we will refund what you paid for that licence.

8. What you may not do

You may not resell, sublicense or redistribute a recording as music — in a library, a sample pack, a template marketplace, or as a standalone file or stream. You may not register a work containing it with a content-identification system as though it were yours. You may not use it in a way that is unlawful, or that implies the artist endorses you or your customer.

No AI training. A licence grants no right to use a recording to train, fine-tune or evaluate a machine-learning model. That would require a separate, explicit agreement, and no purchase on this site is one.

9. Artists and the rights review

Artists offer their recordings for commercial licensing and answer a declaration about the rights they hold. Nothing becomes licensable on that declaration alone: a reviewer grants specific coverage, or does not. An artist cannot clear their own music, and an artist who has not offered a recording has no music on the Service.

Artists keep ownership of their recordings. Offering one here grants us a non-exclusive licence to host it, stream it for evaluation, and issue licences within the coverage granted. Withdrawing it ends that licence for the future and does not affect licences already issued.

10. Claims against a recording

If you believe a recording here infringes your rights, email info@hitboo.com with the work concerned, the recording on HITBOO, and how to reach you. We investigate every report, stop new licences while we do, and remove the recording where the complaint holds.

11. Availability

We aim to keep the Service running, but it is provided "as is" and we do not promise it will be uninterrupted. To the fullest extent the law allows, we exclude implied warranties and are not liable for indirect or consequential loss; our total liability for any licence is limited to what you paid for it. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law — including for death, personal injury or fraud.

12. Ending it

You may stop using the Service whenever you like. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these Terms. Closing an account does not revoke licences it holds: your certificates stay valid and verifiable, and we will make your files available to you.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the law of England & Wales, and its courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

14. Changes

We may update these Terms; material changes are posted here with a new date at the top. A new version applies to licences issued after it takes effect — never to one already issued, which keeps the version named on its certificate.
