What Rights do I get when I buy a Soundeffects.ch product?

Royalty Free Sound Effects Products:

Soundeffects.ch' royalty free sound effects products are sold with their synchronization rights, as described in the Soundeffects.ch End User License Agreement. Performing rights do not apply to sound effects. Except as specifically identified in the Soundeffects.ch End User License Agreement, you are not authorized to copy or re-distribute our sound effects, unless they are synchronized in timed relation with your production.

Is there a License Agreement for your sound effects?

Yes there is. Soundeffects.ch's sound effects are sold under the terms and conditions stated in the Soundeffects.ch End User License Agreement.

Can I use Soundeffects.ch's sound effects in my music?

Yes you can. Under the terms of the Soundeffects.ch End User License Agreement, this qualifies as synchronizing our sounds with other audio content.

Can I use Soundeffects.ch's sound effects in my computer game?

Yes you can, provided that the sounds are embedded in the code of your game and are not available for an end-user to access or download. If your application allows the end-user to access or download unsynchronized sounds, you should contact Soundeffects.ch to arrange supplemental authorization for the use of the sound effects.

Do I have to pay you more if I include your sound effects in a production that will be broadcast on radio or TV?

Soundeffects.ch's sound effects are sold as royalty free products. This means that you do not need to pay any additional money to Soundeffects.ch if a production is going to be broadcast or performed publicly.

Can Soundeffects.ch sound effects be used for live theatre productions?

Yes. Our sound effects can be incorporated into a live theatre production, either through the creation of a cued tape or CD created specially for the production, or through use of a direct cue from the original library CD. These uses meet Soundeffects.ch's definition of synchronization and therefore fall within the rights granted under our Soundeffects.ch End User License Agreement.
