When you hold an active paid subscription with SoundVibe, you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide licence to use any music or sound effect downloaded from our library in any media you produce, for both commercial and non-commercial purposes.
Your licence covers, without limitation:
Your 30-day free trial gives you access to download a limited number of MP3 tracks per day. No payment card is required to start the trial.
Content published during your trial remains licensed in perpetuity, whether or not you subsequently take out a paid subscription. This means:
What is not covered by the perpetual trial licence:
You may modify and arrange the music to suit your project:
Monthly subscriptions bill on the day you subscribe and recur on the same date each month. Annual subscriptions bill once and recur annually. Both plans renew automatically at the then-current rate until cancelled.
All payments are processed by Stripe. We never see, store or have access to your card details. Stripe operates under PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance and applies strong customer authentication (SCA) where required by law.
We will give you at least one month's written notice (by email) before any price change takes effect at your next renewal. You may cancel at any time before the new price applies.
If you are dissatisfied with your subscription, contact us at contact@soundvibe.io within 14 days of your initial purchase for a full refund, subject to the consumer-rights provisions in Section 5.
After the 14-day window, payments are non-refundable. We do not refund unused portions of a billing cycle when you cancel mid-period — your access remains active until the end of the cycle you've paid for.
You may cancel your subscription at any time from your Account → Subscription page or via the Stripe customer portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle.
Content published while your subscription was active remains licensed in perpetuity. You will not be able to use newly downloaded music in new projects after cancellation, but existing published projects do not need to be taken down.
You may upgrade from Monthly to Annual at any time; we will prorate the unused portion of your current period as credit toward the new plan.
If a renewal payment fails, we will notify you by email. Stripe will retry payment automatically over a 7-day period. If unsuccessful, your subscription will lapse to expired status and you will lose access to downloads until payment is resolved. Content already published during your active period remains licensed.
For consumers (non-business customers) in the UK, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 provide a 14-day "cooling-off" right to cancel digital-content purchases.
If you have not downloaded any content, your full 14-day cooling-off right remains intact and you are entitled to a complete refund on request to contact@soundvibe.io.
Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
If you are an agency, freelancer or service provider producing content for clients, your SoundVibe subscription permits you to use our music in client deliverables.
Content delivered to a client during your active subscription remains licensed in perpetuity for that specific delivered project, even after your subscription ends. Your client may continue to use, publish, redistribute and monetise the delivered project without needing their own SoundVibe subscription.
However:
If you receive a copyright claim, takedown notice, or content-matching alert from YouTube, Facebook, TikTok or any other platform regarding music you downloaded from SoundVibe:
We maintain proper licensing chains with all our artists and stand behind your right to use our music. Claims should be dropped on production of valid proof of licence.
SoundVibe warrants that we have the right to grant the licences set out in these Terms.
We will defend and indemnify you against any third-party claim that your authorised use of properly-licensed SoundVibe content infringes copyright or related rights, up to a maximum of the subscription fees you have paid to SoundVibe in the 12 months preceding the claim, provided that:
This indemnity does not extend to claims arising from your modifications to the music, your combination of our content with third-party material, or any use that breaches Section 3.
The data controller for personal information collected through SoundVibe is SOUNDVIBE.IO LTD (company number 16583136), registered in England & Wales. Contact: contact@soundvibe.io.
We collect only the data needed to deliver the service: account details, billing information (handled directly by Stripe), usage data, and communications. We never sell your data. Our processors are Stripe, Supabase, Netlify and Resend, each under UK GDPR Article 28 data-processing agreements.
You have full UK GDPR rights: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, and to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk, 0303 123 1113).
SoundVibe uses essential cookies for core functionality (login session, security), plus optional functional and analytics cookies (off by default until you consent via the cookie banner). We don't use advertising cookies or third-party trackers.
The full cookie list — names, purposes and durations — is in our Cookie Policy.
You may use this website for the purposes outlined in these Terms, including browsing the library, managing your subscription and downloading content under your active licence.
The website itself — including its code, design, layout, branding, written copy, search functionality and underlying systems — is the intellectual property of SOUNDVIBE.IO LTD and may not be reproduced, scraped, mirrored or republished without our written consent.
You may not attempt to gain unauthorised access to non-public areas of our systems, bypass technical access controls, run automated scrapers or denial-of-service tools against our servers, or interfere with other users' access to the service.
You may not use SoundVibe music in projects that:
All music, sound effects, artwork, written copy, branding and code on SoundVibe are owned by SOUNDVIBE.IO LTD or our licensed artists. Your subscription grants you a use licence as set out in Section 1, not ownership or transfer of any intellectual property.
The SoundVibe name and logo are trademarks of SOUNDVIBE.IO LTD. You may not use them in your own marketing without our prior written consent, except to factually identify SoundVibe as the source of your music.
If you believe content on our platform infringes your copyright, please email contact@soundvibe.io with: (a) identification of the copyrighted work, (b) identification of the infringing material, (c) your contact details, (d) a statement of good faith belief that the use is unauthorised, and (e) a signed statement (electronic signature acceptable) confirming the accuracy of the notice and your authority to act on the rights holder's behalf.
You may not use SoundVibe content to train, fine-tune, evaluate or develop any artificial-intelligence or machine-learning model, including but not limited to generative audio models, music classifiers, or any system that ingests audio as training data.
SoundVibe's library consists of human-composed music from licensed artists. We do not knowingly include fully AI-generated music in our library. Some tracks may have used AI-assisted production tools (e.g. mastering or stem separation); these remain human-authored works under our licensing chain.
If we introduce AI features that suggest, generate or place music on your behalf, the outputs of those tools are subject to the same licence terms as our library content.
We work hard to keep the service running reliably, but no online platform is immune to outages, errors or unexpected behaviour. Except as set out in Section 8 (our indemnity to you):
Neither party will be liable for failure to perform obligations caused by events outside reasonable control: natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, pandemic, internet or power outages affecting major infrastructure.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes:
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full effect.
No partnership, joint venture or agency relationship is created between you and SoundVibe by these Terms.
For any questions, complaints or to exercise your rights under these Terms or UK GDPR:
For the purposes of UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, the data controller of your personal information is:

See Section 10 (and our separate Cookie Policy) for the full breakdown.
Emails you send us, support tickets, survey responses, and your replies to marketing emails (if you've opted in).
If you sign in via a third-party login provider in future (Google, Apple etc.), we'll receive your basic profile data from them under their privacy policies. We don't currently offer third-party sign-in.
Under UK GDPR Article 6, we must identify a lawful basis for each thing we do with your data. Here's exactly what applies to each:

Some of our processors (notably Stripe, Resend) operate from outside the UK. When data is transferred outside the UK, we ensure protection through:

You have the following rights regarding your personal data. To exercise any of them, email contact@soundvibe.io — we will respond within 30 days.
SoundVibe is not directed at children. Under the UK Data Protection Act 2018, the digital age of consent is 13. If you are under 13, please do not create an account or provide personal data.
If you are aged 13–17, we recommend involving a parent or guardian when subscribing to any paid service. We do not knowingly market to children.
If we learn we have unintentionally collected personal data from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will delete it promptly. If you believe this has happened, contact us at contact@soundvibe.io.
We use a small number of cookies, grouped into three categories:
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not embed third-party advertising trackers.
For the complete list of cookies and durations, see our Cookie Policy.
We will only send you marketing emails if you opt in at signup, or later via your account settings. Every marketing email contains a one-click unsubscribe link.
Transactional emails (receipts, password resets, important account notices, security alerts) are sent to all account holders regardless of marketing preferences, because they relate directly to the service you've requested.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how we process data, new features, or regulatory requirements.
For any privacy questions or to exercise your UK GDPR rights, please contact us first:
If you're not satisfied with how we've handled your request or you believe we've not complied with UK GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office:
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They're widely used to make sites work, work better, or to provide usage information to site owners. Some technologies similar to cookies — like local storage, session storage, and pixels — are covered by this policy too.
UK law (PECR — Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations) requires consent for non-essential cookies. We split ours into three groups:
Cookies and local storage required for the basic operation of SoundVibe — login session, CSRF security tokens, your shopping cart, basic site functionality. These cannot be disabled.
Remember preferences across sessions — your interface preferences, last-played track, sidebar state, accent colour. Improves user experience but not strictly necessary.
Aggregate, anonymised data about how visitors use the site — most-visited pages, features used, broken-link reports. We use this to improve SoundVibe.
| Name | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
sv_session | Essential | Keeps you logged in | Session |
sv_csrf | Essential | Cross-site request forgery protection | Session |
sv_user_state | Essential | Tracks trial / subscription status client-side | Persistent (localStorage) |
sv_likes, sv_playlists | Functional | Saved tracks, playlists and library | Persistent |
sv_site_settings, sv_collections, etc. | Functional | Remembers admin and UI preferences | Persistent |
| (Analytics — when enabled) | Analytics | Aggregate page views, feature usage | Up to 12 months |
We do not currently load any third-party advertising trackers, social-media pixels, or remarketing scripts.
You can change your cookie preferences at any time:
When you withdraw consent for non-essential cookies, we delete them at our next opportunity (typically the next page load).
When you use payment features, Stripe may set its own cookies on its checkout pages. These are governed by Stripe's own privacy policy (stripe.com/privacy).
We don't set cookies on your behalf for any other third party.
We update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes. The version and last-updated date at the top reflects the most recent changes. Material changes will be flagged via the cookie banner on your next visit.
For questions about cookies or any other privacy matter:
Music ownership and licensing can get genuinely confusing. There are two separate rights in every piece of music: the right to use the recording, and the right to use the composition. Traditional music licensing usually charges you for both, in two different ways, every time the music plays.
Royalty-free is different. You pay once — in our case, via a subscription — and then you're free to use the music in your content without paying additional fees per stream, per view, per broadcast, or per copy sold.
The word "free" in royalty-free doesn't mean the music itself is free of charge. It means you're free of having to pay royalties — the ongoing per-use fees that traditional music licensing demands.
Personal listening only. You absolutely cannot use this music in YouTube videos, ads, or any public/commercial content. Doing so results in copyright strikes and demonetisation.
Genuinely free, but the catalogue is limited, others are using the same tracks, and Content ID disputes still happen occasionally. Good for hobbyists.
Buy individual tracks for specific projects, often £50–£500 each. Limited to the agreed use — buying a track for one YouTube video doesn't let you use it on TikTok too.
One subscription, unlimited use across every platform, in every project, forever. No per-track fees, no surprise royalties. Receipts to clear any Content ID disputes.
With an active subscription you can use any track or sound effect in:
And there's no cap on views, downloads, plays, copies sold, time periods, or geographies. Whatever you produce, wherever it goes — covered.
To keep things fair and protect our artists, a few things are outside the scope of a royalty-free licence:
None of this affects normal creative use — these limits exist to stop bad actors from monopolising tracks that all our subscribers share access to.
This is the single most common worry creators have, and the answer is reassuring: occasionally yes, but it's always easy to resolve.
Here's why claims can appear:
Here's how it's resolved:
You can try SoundVibe free for 30 days, no card required.
What's not covered after the trial: using trial-downloaded tracks in new projects after the 30 days end without a subscription. The trial covers what you publish during the trial — not future use.
