Version: 1.0
Effective Date: November 1, 2026
This license also exists in French (version française). In France, the French version is the reference.
In short. You may use the sounds in your music and your other works, commercial or not, with no royalties and no credit required, and load them into any instrument you own. You may never pass the sound files on to anyone: not alone, not processed, not in a kit, a pack, a preset or a loop. No training of AI on them. This summary helps you read the terms below; the terms are what bind.
1. Who and what
This license is between you and Benoit Scarwell EI, a sole proprietorship based in France, trading as UB DSP ("UB DSP", "we"). It covers the sounds UB DSP provides as sound content, such as the UB Starter pack that Sample Kit Builder installs, in any format, and every copy or modified version of them (the "Sounds"). It applies in the same way whether or not you have bought a licence for any UB DSP software, demo mode included. You accept it when you install, download or use the Sounds.
2. Ownership
The Sounds are licensed, not sold. UB DSP keeps every right in them, including copyright and the rights of the producer of the recordings (Article L.213-1 of the French Intellectual Property Code). You get only the rights this license writes down.
3. What you may do
Without royalties, worldwide and for as long as the rights in the Sounds last, you may:
- (a) use the Sounds, as they are or edited, processed, resampled, layered or sequenced, inside your own works: music, productions, remixes, live performances and DJ sets, broadcasts, and the soundtrack of films, videos, podcasts, games and adverts. You may sell, stream, broadcast and license those works, and you keep all the income from them;
- (b) copy the Sounds onto any computer, sampler, drum machine or other instrument that you own or control, for example with the export or the direct send of Sample Kit Builder, and keep backups of them;
- (c) give a project file or stems that contain the Sounds to the people working with you on a given work, who may use them for that work only.
Credit is not required. "Sounds by UB DSP" is always welcome.
4. What you may not do
For free or for payment, you may not:
- (a) distribute, share, upload, sell, rent, lend or otherwise make the Sounds available as sound files, alone or together, as they are or modified;
- (b) put the Sounds in anything that others can use to make sounds or music: a sample pack or library, a construction kit, a loop pack, a kit for any instrument (kits exported by Sample Kit Builder included), a preset, patch or project template, a sample-based or virtual instrument, or a sound bank for an app or a game engine;
- (c) distribute loops or bounces made from the Sounds (with BOUNCE in Sample Kit Builder or any other way) as loops or samples rather than inside a work;
- (d) release a work whose purpose is to hand the Sounds over for reuse, such as a track or a video that plays them one after another;
- (e) register the Sounds, or a work made mainly of them, with a content identification service such as YouTube Content ID, or use such a service to claim someone else's use of the Sounds;
- (f) use the Sounds to train, fine-tune, test or improve a machine learning or artificial intelligence model, or put them in a dataset for that purpose;
- (g) transfer this license to anyone else.
5. Text and data mining
UB DSP opposes text and data mining of the Sounds, as Article L.122-5-3 III of the French Intellectual Property Code and Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790 allow, and any use of them to train artificial intelligence. This opposition is also written in the metadata of the files. It does not cover software that analyses the Sounds only to organise, browse, classify or play your own library, as Sample Kit Builder does: that use is allowed.
6. Sounds from others
This license covers the Sounds of UB DSP only. Sounds from other sources come with their own licenses, which you must check before you share anything made with them, a kit above all.
7. End of the license
If you break this license, we may tell you so in writing. The license ends 30 days later if you have not put things right by then, and at once if you have distributed the Sounds. When it ends, you must delete the Sounds from your computers and instruments. Works you published before, in keeping with this license, stay yours to use.
8. New versions
We may publish new versions of this license. A new version applies only to Sounds you receive after it is published; the Sounds you already have stay under the version they came with.
9. Warranty and liability
If you are a consumer, the guarantees the law gives you apply, and nothing in this license limits or excludes our liability to you. If you are not a consumer, the Sounds are provided as they are, and our total liability for them is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, except where the law does not allow such a limit.
10. Law and courts
This license is governed by French law. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live; you may go to the courts of the place where you live or to ours, and we may go only to the courts of the place where you live. If you are not a consumer, the courts of Bayonne, France, have jurisdiction.
