Royalty-free means that you pay a a one-time fee to gain the legal right to sync a piece of music to a project(s). Your projects may include things like commercials, video games, Youtube Videos, films, documentaries, presentations, flash websites or instructional videos. In simpler terms, Royalty-free music is an inexpensive solution that allows you to legally add great sounding music to your multimedia works.

All our music is not content ID registered so you do not have to worry about content ID claims on YouTube.

No, it isn’t mandatory, but we certainly would appreciate it! However, if you would like to get discounted rates off our Personal Subscription Plan by crediting us on your channel, videos or posts, do check out our Creator Program!

Yes! If you have a project that requires custom music or sound design, we offer music and sound design services for games, film, trailers, media, and television.

If you cancel or don't renew your subscription, you do not need to take your projects down. The licenses for projects you released or launched under an active subscription are perpetual, meaning you can continue to use them forever.

For example, if you launched a game while you had an active subscription, you can continue to sell that game even after your subscription ends. Additionally, players who stream or upload their gameplay footage of the game do not fall under 'new projects.

Yes! Any subscription can be canceled at any time. Please email us or use the cancellation feature in your account to cancel your subscription. If you forget to cancel your subscription and have yet to download any audio tracks, we offer a full refund within 14 days of the transaction. Learn more about how the subscription plan works and who should get our subscription plans.

While your subscription is active, you can release and launch an unlimited number of projects using our audio tracks. However, any new projects or game updates started after your subscription ends will not be covered.

As long as you have a paid subscription with WOW Sound, you can download audio tracks, use them in new projects or game updates, and release them. If you wish to use our audio tracks in new projects after canceling your subscription, you will need to restart your subscription to download the tracks again, or you can license the tracks via the pay-per-track option.

Once you've launched your game with an active subscription, you can cancel your subscription afterwards, and the files will be legally tied to your game. You don't need to repurchase the standalone packs as well.

If you plan to add more music and sound effects to your game after the launch or create more videos or marketing content, you can continue your subscription or purchase additional packs as needed.

Please note our subscription requires a minimum 3-month commitment. We regularly add new sound effects and music tracks to the library, so there's always fresh audio to download.

Under your 'My Account' Column, click on 'My Subscriptions'.

The subscription page will show up and you can click the 'Cancel plan' button to cancel it.

Yes!‍ Music may be used for podcasts! Music and sound effects can be downloaded once and used as many times as you like throughout your active subscription. If your subscription expires, you no longer have the rights to use downloaded content in future podcast episodes.

The Personal plan is for personal use only. You may not create videos, podcasts or other uses of the licensed music or sound effects for a third party, meaning, the videos may not be used to promote a business, product or service. In addition, the videos or podcasts may not be made available for sale or distribution and may not be sponsored.

You must use the Business plan. The Personal plan is for personal use only.

With a Subscription (Personal, Business or a Creator Program Plan), you can download up to 2499 tracks per month.

This includes both music and sound effects, including variations. We believe this amount of audio track is reasonable and sufficient for your projects whether you are a solo creator or in a team.

We understand it's easier to download and preview the sounds offline, but we only allow online previews at the moment. We even removed the watermark on the tracks, as most libraries have so that you can preview the original track. If you need help finding fitting music and sound effects for your project, send us gameplay videos, and we can assist you.

No, you will not. Congratulations on reaching 50k subscribers! The 50k subscriber limit is only for channels that monetize their videos. If you do not monetize your videos and use them solely for personal use, you do not need to worry about the subscriber limit.

If you monetize your videos and have over 50k subscribers, please upgrade to the Business subscription plan. As long as you posted the video when you had 50k subscribers or fewer, it is not a problem at all.

A FULL Loop is complete musical mix that is meant to loop over and over again, seamlessly and endlessly. It does not contain an introduction and an ending. Track durations vary and may be as short as 10 seconds or as long as 5 minutes. Learn more about our music mixes.

No. The "WOW Sound" voiceover is only present in the audio preview on Soundcloud. After you purchase a license, you will be able to download a clean copy. 

We launched our revamped site on a new platform on 8th April 2022, so the accounts and past purchases are not transferable even if you create a new account on our current site :(

Yes you may, but the copyright still belongs to WOW Sound. As such, copying, redistribution and resale of the modified content is not allowed. 

Yes, you can! We consider the game trailer as part of the same product. For music licensed under the Rare License or Legendary, you can use the music in unlimited projects.

Yes, you can! As long as each music track is only used in one game.

No, you may not use music in both stand-alone music tracks and for performance as our music is available to license for synchronization in media productions (websites, videos, DVDs, TV broadcasts, films, games, etc.) as background music.

Example: Adding lyrics or editing our music into to an audio track and selling it on iTunes or performing it is a copyright infringement.
However, you can use our sound effects in a music track or a performance.

Unfortunately, we do not allow our music to be sold or redistributed separately as OST or as part of any multimedia templates in games, websites, etc. View Terms of Use.

If you really hope to include our music for your game's OST. Could we suggest you do an in-game Jukebox instead, where the player unlocks a page to playback all the soundtracks or cutscenes after completing the game? :)

Using our music synchronized within the game and selling the video game commercially is not a problem as long as the buyers do not have access to our music or sound effects in standalone elements. However, We understand due to the nature of certain game engines; the video games are redistributed in a folder that includes music, sound effects, art, and so on as they are needed to run the game. In this case, it's fine, so don't worry too much about it :)

One project refers to one game/film/online series(max 26 episodes). You can use the assets multiple times in one project.

Example: One music/sound effect can be used in-game and game trailer as long as it is limited to that one game. Same for a short film, the purchased music/sound effect can be used in the film/series and its trailer.

'1 user' means we grant one user the right to use our Sound libraries. It grants one user the right to use the Sound Libraries or Bundles on one workstation at a time, although the Licensee is permitted to make and keep backup copies of the Sound Libraries or Bundles on other storage devices. 

No, you do not own the music you purchase. The copyright to the music remains the property of WOW Sound/the composer. Purchasing a license only allows you to use the music to sync to your projects and purposes in accordance with the license agreement.

Yes, you can, the license will then belong to your client and the license terms still apply depending on the license purchased.

No. None of our music/SFXs can be used in logos or be trademarked. If you would like use it in logos, please write to us at [email protected].

Yes. Our license permits usage of the music and sound effects in personal or commercial projects for yourself, your clients or your employer. WOW Sound music and sound effects may not be sold by itself, transferred, bartered, traded, shared, leased, or given away to any other party and the license may not be subleased to a third party. Please see our terms of use for further information.

Yes, you can! It's not a problem at all. Be sure to review each store's End User License Agreement (EULA) to ensure you are using the assets within the terms of the agreement.

Yes, you can transfer the license. Just ensure that any employee who leaves the company no longer has a copy of the music or sound effects.

There is no expiry date as long as you use the licenses within the restricted usage terms. For example, a Common license's music track can be used for only one project, while a Rare license's music track can be used for a game with a budget of less than USD 500,000.

Yes, you can. We do not restrict usage in adult content, as we respect your decision to create any content you choose, provided it does not breach any laws in your respective country. Please read more in our Terms of Use.

No, you will not! Our music is all DMCA free and copyright safe and is not registered with any content ID. You can be assured that there won't be copyright issues forcing your players to remove their gameplay footage with our music or sound effects or have their audio muted.

No, they do not. If you purchase a license from other asset stores, you must follow the respective EULA of each asset store. If you purchase any music or sound effects on the WOW Sound site, you follow our license terms here on our site.

You will only need a cue-sheet when you are using music for a production that is to be publicly performed on a television network, radio station, theatrical release (e.g. films or videos). The cue-sheet is usually prepared by producers or the licensor of the production.

Please remember to fill in the detailed listing of each piece of music used. Include the names of the music composer, the type of usage of the music, the length of the music, and the title of each music track on the cue-sheet.
