Important Note About ESM EULAs
For flexibility and to provide for the varied needs of our customers, ESM provides a range of different EULAs. The rights granted in each EULA are not transferable and/or do not in any way extend to Content provided under a different EULA.
For example, if an ESM SFX Cloud Vault Free Account Subscriber purchases a sound library and has also downloaded free content via their SFX Cloud Vault Free Account Subscription, the EULA for the purchased sound library does not extend to the free content and the EULA covering the content in the Free Account does not apply to the purchased sound library. EULAs and their particular terms and conditions are coupled to the product and/or service being provided by ESM.

1.4 Single-User, Multi-User and Teams Licenses

1.4.1 Single-User License – This End User License Agreement (EULA) grants the use of the Content to You, a single-user/Licensee. A Licensee is not permitted to allow any unlicensed persons/individuals to access the Content through file-sharing systems, file storage, computer APIs or any other means. You agree to take reasonable, usual and customary precautions to prevent unauthorized access to the Content. Important, a “Licensed User” is a single user, person, named person. A Licensed User is not a workstation or device, a site license, a generic or shared login identity, a computer script, robot or API or any other non-person way to access the Content.

1.4.2 Multi-User License – Use of the content by more than one user is only allowed if you obtain a Multi-user license that designates the total number of users permitted to access and use the Content. When a Multi-user License is purchased from ESM the number of licensed users that can access and use the content will be specified on your purchase receipt/contract.
A Multi-user License is required when more than one user/person can access and use the Content. For example: If you have a team of sound designers, or more than one person that can access and use the Content to build a project, you will need a Multi-user License. Similarly, sharing the content by way of a file server that can be accessed by more than one user/person is only permitted with a Multi-user License. In this scenario, the number of users required to be covered by the Multi-user License is the number of users/persons that can access the Content on the file server.
Please note: Multi-user Licensee agrees to take reasonable, usual and customary precautions to prevent unauthorized access to the Content. Reminder, a “Licensed User” is a single user, person, named person. A Licensed User is not a workstation or device, a site license, a generic or shared login identity, a computer script, robot or API or any other non-person way to access the Content.

1.4.3 Teams License – A Teams License is a Multi-user license that is facilitated by the ESM Cloud Vault Team Management feature. Teams Licensing is only available to SFX Cloud Vault Teams Subscribers or ESM Master Vault multi-user customers.
The Team Management feature allows for one primary account holder, the “Team Manager” role to manage access to the content and quotas of team members designated by the Team Manager. All members of the team are covered by this EULA. The number of team member users will be specified on your purchase receipt/contract agreement. Please refer to The Master Vault Terms of Service or the ESM SFX Cloud Vault Terms of Service for more details and limitations governing multi-user licensing of the Content using the Team Management feature.

Access to the Content through a file-sharing server/system is only permitted in accordance with this EULA and a corresponding Multi-user License. Multi-user Licensees that share content via a file server may make one copy of the content for archival (backup) purposes only. Because SFX Cloud Vault is a service that provides access, backup and storage of the Content, SFX Cloud Vault subscribers, and SFX Cloud Vault for Teams subscribers are not permitted to make any copies for archival (backup) purposes.

What am I allowed to do with my sound effects license?
You’re allowed to create an unlimited number of synchronized productions, meaning you may mix sound effects with other elements (e.g. video, other sonic). It must be used in “Sync” with other forms of media. You can also edit, layer, process, warp, and twist sounds to oblivion.
Our standard license covers usage for one (1) User – if you have multiple people at your company or organization who will be working with the sound effects library, you must obtain a multi-user license.

What can’t I do with my sound effects libraries?
You cannot re-sell sound effects in any way. Sounds must be used in sync with other forms of media specified above.
If you would like to include sound effects in a mobile or web app where your end users can control playback of the sound (e.g. soundboard, nature app, ringtones, etc.), you will need to obtain a Custom Application License (CAL).
