Stock Music Use Terms & Conditions — Robert Anthony Productions

Effective Date: October 13, 2025
Owner: Robert Anthony Productions (“RAP,” “we,” “us,” or “our”)
Website: RobertAnthonyProductions.com

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of instrumental music, stems, and related audio content provided by RAP (collectively, the “Content”). By downloading, purchasing, licensing, or using any Content, you agree to these Terms.

1) Eligibility & Authority

You must be able to form a binding contract. If you accept these Terms on behalf of a company, you represent you have authority to bind that entity.

2) License Grant (Permitted Uses)

Subject to payment (if applicable) and compliance with these Terms, RAP grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, worldwide license to use the Content in any and all projects and media now known or later developed, except as limited in §3.
Minor, non-creative technical edits solely for synchronization/fit (e.g., fades, trims, loudness/ducking, timing alignment) are allowed.
No credit required. Attribution is optional.

3) Restrictions & Separate Licenses

You may not under this standard license:

  1. Derivative Works: Create derivative musical works from the Content (e.g., remixes, new songs built on the Content, adding lead vocals/raps to make a new track, sample packs, or using stems to build new musical works). A separate, negotiated license is required before such use.

  2. National TV / Major Streaming: Use the Content in programming or advertising broadcast on national television or distributed as original programming on major streaming services (including, without limitation, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Prime Video, Max, Peacock, Paramount+, Apple TV+). These uses require a separate, negotiated synchronization license.

  3. Video Games — Unit Cap: Use in video game media (console/PC/mobile) is limited to 20,000 units sold per game title across all platforms. If sales/redemptions exceed 20,000 units, you must immediately notify RAP and obtain an extended license before further distribution. “Units sold” includes paid purchases, bundles, and paid key redemptions; free, non-monetized downloads do not count unless otherwise agreed in writing.

  4. Raw File Distribution: Resell, share, or distribute the raw Content or stems as standalone files, samples, or templates, or in any form that lets third parties use the Content outside your end project.

  5. Rights Management Claims: Claim ownership of the underlying composition or master, or register the Content (or your edits) in any fingerprinting/Content ID system as your exclusive property.

  6. Unlawful/Prohibited Uses: Any use that is defamatory, fraudulent, infringing, or otherwise unlawful, or that violates platform policies.

  7. Model Training: Use the Content or stems to train or fine-tune AI/ML models or include it in training datasets without RAP’s prior written permission.

Note on Stems: Provided only to facilitate permitted sync/technical edits—they do not grant permission to produce derivative musical works without a separate license.

4) AI Tools Disclosure

Some or all Content may be created, arranged, or enhanced in part or in full using AI tools, including tools listed at fairlytrained.org. By licensing the Content, you acknowledge and accept the use of such tools in the creative process.

5) Ownership

RAP (and its licensors, if any) retains all rights, title, and interest in and to the Content. No ownership is transferred; only the limited license in §2 is granted.

6) Content ID & Claims

You may monetize end projects that include the Content (subject to §3). If an automated claim occurs, contact RAP with proof of license and a URL/claim ID; we will work in good faith to help resolve conflicts related to our Content.

7) Fees, Taxes & Refunds

Fees are due as listed at checkout or in an invoice. Prices may change prospectively. Digital goods are non-refundable, except where required by law or in cases of download/technical failure RAP cannot remedy within a reasonable time.

8) No Warranties; Your Responsibility

The Content is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, RAP disclaims all warranties (express, implied, or statutory), including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. You are solely responsible for your projects, compliance with applicable laws and platform rules, and obtaining any third-party clearances for materials you add.

9) Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, RAP will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; loss of revenue, profits, data, or goodwill; or third-party claims, even if advised of the possibility. RAP’s total aggregate liability for any claim will not exceed the amount you paid for the specific Content giving rise to the claim (or USD $50 if no amount was paid).

10) Indemnification (Hold Harmless)

You (“Buyer”) agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Robert Anthony Productions and its affiliates, officers, employees, and contractors from any losses, liabilities, damages, claims, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from: (a) a breach of these Terms or any warranty herein; (b) any third-party claim related to ownership, infringement, or misrepresentation concerning the Content as used in your project; or (c) any regulatory or legal violations connected to your conduct or materials.
RAP may, at its sole discretion, assume exclusive control of the defense of any such claim; you will cooperate as reasonably requested and will not settle any matter without RAP’s prior written consent.

11) Reporting; Audit (Video Game Cap Only)

For video game uses under §3.3, upon RAP’s request you will provide a good-faith written statement of cumulative units sold for the title. RAP may, on reasonable notice and during normal business hours, appoint an independent auditor to verify reported unit counts no more than once per year.

12) Termination

RAP may terminate your license upon written notice for a material breach. Upon termination, you must cease using the Content and remove it from new distributions; previously distributed end projects may remain available (“archival use”) if you are not otherwise in breach.

13) Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes apply prospectively. Your continued use after the updated Effective Date constitutes acceptance.

14) Dispute Resolution; Governing Law & Venue (Solano or East Bay, California)

Informal Resolution First. Before filing any lawsuit, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve disputes through correspondence, cooperative problem-solving, and non-binding mediation. Unless the parties agree otherwise in writing, mediation will occur in Northern California (Solano, Alameda, or Contra Costa County), with each party bearing its own costs and sharing mediator fees equally.

Governing Law. These Terms and any dispute or claim (contract, tort, statute, or otherwise) are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Exclusive Venue & Jurisdiction. The parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state courts located in Solano County, Alameda County, or Contra Costa County, California (the “Solano/East Bay Courts”). If federal jurisdiction exists, the parties consent to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (San Francisco/Oakland Division). Each party waives any objection to venue or forum non conveniens.

Venue Selection Mechanics.

  • If RAP is the plaintiff, RAP may elect venue in Solano County, Alameda County, or Contra Costa County.

  • If Buyer is the plaintiff, Buyer must file in one of the Solano/East Bay Courts.

  • Nothing herein prevents the parties from mutually agreeing in writing to a different venue for convenience.

Injunctive Relief. Either party may seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in any Solano/East Bay Court to protect its rights pending final resolution.

Attorneys’ Fees. Where permitted by law, the prevailing party in any action is entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
