Founder Music (“We,” “Us,” or “Our”) provides a library of music tracks available for download, testing, and integration into user projects. Access and use of Founder Music’s content are subject to the following terms and conditions.
Users may access and download Founder Music tracks for the purpose of evaluating and testing them within their media projects. This use is for assessment purposes only and does not grant any rights to use the music in any final, published, or distributed projects without a separate licensing agreement.
To use any Founder Music track in a final, published, or distributed project, users must have an active licensing agreement with Founder Music. Each licensing agreement is specific to the user and the intended use case. Licensing agreements are negotiated and executed outside of this website.
Once a Founder Music track is used in a finished project, the use must be reported via our online reporting feature. This feature is available only to users with an active licensing agreement. The reported use of the music will then be governed by the specific terms of the relevant licensing agreement.
Founder Music creates custom licensing agreements tailored to the needs of each brand, production company, or filmmaker we work with. For example, an ad agency may enter into an agreement allowing the use of Founder Music tracks in advertising projects for a specific end client. Each custom agreement outlines the scope and limitations of use.
Some Founder Music tracks are available through third-party software platforms (e.g., Apple iMovie, Apple Photos). The use of Founder Music tracks via these platforms is governed by the end user licensing agreements (EULAs) of the respective software providers. Music accessed through third-party platforms is intended for personal, non-commercial use.
When Founder Music tracks are published online (e.g., on YouTube), they are subject to tracking via fingerprinting software or other technologies to protect our copyright. YouTube and Content ID claims are automated and managed by Hexacorp. Such claims do not harm your channel or count as copyright strikes. For more details, please refer to YouTube’s Content ID program.
All Founder Music tracks are protected under U.S. copyright law. It is important to note that Founder Music does not offer royalty-free music. All uses of Founder Music tracks must comply with the terms outlined in the applicable licensing agreement.
These terms and any disputes arising from the use of Founder Music tracks shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States.
Users agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Founder Music, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and suppliers from and against any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, expenses, and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or relating to the user’s use of Founder Music tracks, violation of these terms, or infringement of any intellectual property or other rights of any person or entity.
In the event of any discrepancy between the terms of a user’s licensing agreement and these licensing terms, the terms of the user’s specific licensing agreement shall prevail and control.
We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Users will be notified of any changes through updates on our website. Continued use of Founder Music tracks after such changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
