Said agreement will come into effect, as soon as the customer has purchased sounds or downloaded sounds free of charge from the website www.justsoundeffects.com.
The website www.justsoundeffects.com, in short “JSE”, is a distribution platform for selling licenses/rights of utilization of sound effects, supplied as individual sounds and sound libraries, which are produced and marketed by Millotat & Porombka GbR (also known as Just Sound Effects).

END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (EULA)
- Having paid the appropriate license fees authorizes you to use the sounds in commercial and non-commercial areas. Here are some important pieces of information concerning this. The principal reason of the acquisition ought to be the production and creation of medial content, such as films, podcasts, advertisements, video games or the like, which are currently part of the public media. It is strictly prohibited to use our products for the creation of sounds, sound libraries, music libraries, musical one-shots or other similar products, which, by passing in any way to a third party, are employed profitably or non-profitably. Furthermore, you may not sell, rent, lease, give away or otherwise transfer the acquired products to anyone. This constitutes an infringement of copyright and theft of intellectual property. If you want to incorporate our sounds in the commercial production of your own sound libraries or the like and sell these, an explicit authorization of Millotat & Porombka GbR and the respective creator is necessary. Please contact us, if this is the case.
- If you have used our sounds as part of a project and send stems thereof to a third party, please make sure that none of our sounds may be heard “standalone”, i. e. unmixed with other elements. In order to achieve this, you can a) add musical elements, b) add sounds from other producers or your own, or c) render the sounds tonally unrecognizable in different ways (Mere processing is not enough.).
- If you use our sounds in a soundscape composition, the composition may not solely consist of our sounds. The same regulations apply as in 1.1.
- Since you have purchased the right of use only, you are neither the owner nor, as the case may be, the originator of the sounds. Any transaction which might violate 1) is to be agreed upon with us in advance.
- Your selected method of payment in acquiring a license (single payment resp. subscription) does not bear directly on the kind of license you have acquired; it simply provides an opportunity to finance the desired license(s). We provide either single user licenses or multi user licenses.
- As an individual or a sole trader business please opt for our single user license. If the sounds will be available to your employees or staff members please opt for our multi user license. Increasing the number of users to greater than 1, while checking out from your basket, automatically generates a multi user license, with you or your company registered. Thus you are authorized to install the sounds on the number of workstations corresponding to the number of users that you have entered, subject to the condition that you or your company are the rightful owner of the workstations, and they are located on the premises.
SINGLE USER LICENSE
The license holder is entitled to use the licensed product commercially or non-commercially as long as she or he adheres to the conditions set forth under item 1) and the T&Cs. Only an individual or a sole trader business may purchase a single user license, and only the purchaser has the right to work with the licensed product. You may store your sounds on any number of storage media, provided they are exclusively in the license holder’s possession, third parties are prohibited from access, and the intended purpose is backing up the sounds. Only on private workstations may you use and install the sounds. It is strictly forbidden to store the sounds in a cloud which you share with other persons; in this case, you would make the sounds (for which only you have the right of use) accessible to third parties without right of use.
MULTI USER LICENSE
If opting for a multi user license the license holder is entitled to use the licensed product commercially or non-commercially as long as she or he adheres to the conditions set forth under item 1) and the T&Cs. The regulations are the same as with the single user license; yet you are allowed to install the sounds on the number of workstations corresponding to the number of users that you have chosen. The workstations must be on the premises and be owned by the company. It is insignificant who operates the workstations and uses the sounds, as long as this person is employed by the license holder or there is an existing B2B relationship.
FINAL PROVISIONS
- If a provision of this agreement is or becomes legally invalid, the validity of the remainder of the agreement shall not be affected thereby. Invalid provisions shall be replaced by common consent with such provisions which come as close as possible to the intended result of the invalid provision. Any changes of or amendments to this agreement must be in writing to become effective.
- The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to these terms and conditions.
