Welcome to AudioCraft. These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the AudioCraft website, courses, digital products, and services (the "Services"). By accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Services.
NOTE: Please read these Terms carefully. They cover important information regarding your legal rights, including limitations of liability and dispute resolution.

All courses, sample packs, presets, and digital downloads provided by AudioCraft are licensed, not sold. Upon purchasing a product, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the products for your own personal or commercial music production.
What You CAN Do:
- Use the samples, loops, and presets in your own original musical compositions.
- Release music created with our products commercially and keep 100% of your royalties.
- Access and stream video course content as many times as you wish, provided your account is in good standing.
What You CANNOT Do:
- Redistribute, resell, lease, or sub-license our digital products (e.g., uploading our sample packs to torrent sites or other sample pack platforms).
- Use isolated samples from our packs in other sample packs or sound libraries.
- Record, rip, or download video course content for offline distribution.
3. Fees, Billing, & Payments
Access to certain Services requires payment of fees. By purchasing a product (e.g., Starter $199, Producer $399, Studio Elite $899), you agree to pay all applicable fees as displayed on our website.
- Payment Processing: Payments are processed securely by third-party providers (e.g., Stripe, PayPal). We do not store your credit card information.
- Auto-Renewal: Unless otherwise stated, one-time purchases do not auto-renew. If we offer subscription services in the future, they will be clearly marked as recurring, and you may cancel at any time.
- Taxes: Prices are subject to applicable local taxes (VAT, sales tax) which will be calculated at checkout.
4. Refund Policy
Due to the digital nature of our products (courses, samples, presets), all sales are generally final. However, we understand that issues can arise. We offer refunds under the following conditions:
- Digital Defects: If a product is fundamentally defective or cannot be accessed/downloaded due to an error on our end, and we cannot fix it within 14 days, a full refund will be issued.
- Accidental Duplicate Purchases: If you accidentally purchase the same product twice, we will refund the duplicate charge.
- Course Progress: If you request a refund for a course, we reserve the right to deny the refund if more than 25% of the course modules have been completed or downloaded.
