Groove License

This license is broken down into multiple sections. The first section, Section A, applies to Groove Builders and MIDI products. The second section, Section B, applies to artwork that we design for your use.

SECTION A (GROOVE BUILDERS AND MIDI PRODUCTS)

If you purchased or otherwise acquired an authorized copy of a Groove Product (defined below) from Vocal Pockets, LLC (“Vocal Pockets”), Vocal Pockets grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, world-wide, royalty-free license in and to Vocal Pockets’s rights in such Groove Product to use such Groove Product in your Songs (defined below) subject to the terms below. 

You may not (i) sublicense, sell, distribute, or make publicly available any Groove Product, including any derivative work of a Groove Product, (ii) disclose to any third party the timing and velocity information contained within any Groove Product, (iii) use any Groove Product to develop any competing product or service, (iv) use any Groove Product in any artificial intelligence model or machine learning project or (v) if you represent a business that sells or distributes audio loops, MIDI packs or similar products to music producers via an online store, use or incorporate any Groove Product in any loop kit or similar product that you sell or distribute to music producers. 

If you represent a business that sells or distributes audio loops, MIDI packs or similar products to music producers via an online store and you would like to use or incorporate Groove Builders in your product (e.g., you want to sell or distribute audio drum loops that use Groove Builders to music producers), you must get in contact to discuss the appropriate license as our standard license does not extend to this use (team(at)vocalpockets.com).

“Groove Product” means the MIDI file(s) that you obtained from Vocal Pockets and any related files for a digital audio workstation.

“Song” means any musical work consisting of sound recordings and musical notes.

Note: You do not need to formally credit us if you place a song using the Groove Product. We do ask (on the honor system) that you let us know (e.g., tag us on Instagram (@vocalpockets) or email us (team(at)vocalpockets.com)) if you get a placement using Groove Builders. We are a small business and your acknowledgement helps us grow and allows us to continue making helpful tools for musicians.

SECTION B (ARTWORK)

Vocal Pockets grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, world-wide, royalty-free license in and to Vocal Pockets’s rights in Artwork to use such Artwork solely for the Permitted Uses.

“Artwork” means images that we sell or otherwise make available to you via our online store for use with your Songs.

“Permitted Uses” means the use of artwork for your albums, Songs, sample packs, MIDI packs, music preset packs, digital promotional flyers and videos for your music, music website, beat store, social media profile pictures, social media thumbnails, and music videos.
