2. Your Music

2.1 Music Creation

The App allows you to compose musical works ("Music") using the internal sound engine and sample library. You are free to export and distribute the Music you create in multiple file formats through the channels of your choice, as long as it does not infringe upon our or any third party's intellectual property rights. Please note that we do not provide or offer assistance in the presentation or marketing of your Music.

2.2 Your Rights / Our Rights

You retain all ownership rights in Music that arise when you create it. You grant us an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable licence to use, store, upload, modify, reproduce, display and perform the Music, however solely and never for any other purpose than for the operation of the App (or future software, applications and services provided by Ocean that are similar to those represented by the App) and as necessary to allow you to share your Music with other users of the App.

The Music you create will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. We cannot be held liable if your Music leaks unintentionally (e.g. if our servers are compromised).

3.2 Our Rights & Third-Party Rights

You acknowledge that all intellectual property rights in the App anywhere in the world belong to us or our licensors, that rights in the App are licensed (not sold) to you, and that you have no rights in or to the App other than the right to use it in accordance with the Terms.

9. Termination

9.1 Material Breach

We may terminate these Terms immediately and without notice if you commit a material or persistent breach of the Terms. It is hereby recognised that, inter alia, a breach of any of the Licence Restrictions or the Acceptable Use Restrictions shall qualify as a material breach.

10.2 No Waiver

If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.

10.3 Questions, Complaints or Claims

Any questions, complaints or claims with respect to the App, including but not limited to:

  • Product liability claims
  • Any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement

You will be assumed to have obtained permission from the owners of the devices that are controlled, but not owned, by you to use the App. Regardless of which device you are using, you are liable for all subscriptions, services and charges from your service provider that are necessary to use the App, including any charges for data traffic and roaming. You accept responsibility in accordance with these Terms for your use of the App on any device, whether or not it is owned by you.
