Wavebank Sound License

Version 2026-11 · Banshee Technologies S.L., CIF ESB75505503, Avda. de la Universidad, s/n, Parque Científico Universidad Miguel Hernández, 03202 Elche (Alicante), Spain (“Banshee”, “we”)

This license covers every sound, loop, melody, stem and kit that the Wavebank app produces and that you play, download or export from it (the “Sounds”). The app itself is licensed to you under the Apple Licensed Application End User License Agreement. This license adds the rules for the Sounds. You accept it in the app before using it.

In short

• You can use the Sounds in your music, videos and games, and with a paid plan release and sell what you make. No royalties, no credit.
• Free is for trying. On the free plan the Sounds are for non-commercial use only: practice, demos and anything you don’t release or earn from.
• For you and small companies. Your own company is covered while it has 5 people or fewer and makes under $1M a year. Bigger companies, and work for them, need Business.
• You can’t sell or give away the Sounds themselves: no sample packs, kits or libraries, and no training AI with them.
• Nothing to clear. There are no samples or recordings of anyone in them.
• They are Banshee’s, and not exclusive. Anyone can get the same Sound, so nobody can claim it, for example through Content ID.
• Break the rule and the license ends. Then you can no longer use the Sounds, not even in works already out.

This summary is only a guide and is not part of the license. The sections below are the binding text and prevail over it.

1. Definitions

• Sounds: any audio the app produces, in any format, including stems, transposed or edited versions, and any part of them.
• Sound ID: the code that identifies a Sound (style, number, category, position and variant). The same Sound ID always produces the same Sound.
• Work: a piece you create in which the Sounds are part of a larger creation of yours, such as a song, beat, remix, soundtrack, video, podcast, game, app, advert, performance or broadcast.
• Sound Product: anything whose main value is the Sounds themselves, such as a sample pack, drum kit, loop kit, construction kit, one-shot collection, sound library, preset bank, instrument or patch, sound-effects library, or a stem pack offered for others to make music with, whether free or paid, edited or not.
• Small Organisation: a company, partnership, sole trader or other organisation that, together with every entity that controls it, is controlled by it or is under common control with it, has 5 or fewer people (employees and regular contractors) and had less than USD 1,000,000 (or its equivalent) in total revenue or funding in the last 12 months.
• Personal Use: use by an individual for Works they create, whether on their own, through their own Small Organisation (such as a one-person LLC), or for a client that is an individual or a Small Organisation, including selling and earning from those Works.
• Commercial Use: releasing, distributing, selling, streaming, broadcasting, performing for a fee, synchronising, licensing or otherwise making a Work available to the public or earning from it in any way, including monetised uploads, sponsorships and client work.
• Paid Plan: the Starter, Pro or Business subscription, monthly or yearly, while active.
• Business Use: any use that is not Personal Use, in particular use by or for an organisation that is not a Small Organisation, including by its employees or by anyone it commissions or pays to create a Work, and use in its products, services, games, apps, advertising or communications.

2. Who made the Sounds

2.1 Banshee authored them. The Sounds are not recordings, samples or the output of an AI model trained on other people’s works. They are synthesized by a generator that Banshee’s team designed and wrote by hand. Every creative decision that shapes a Sound was taken by people at Banshee and fixed in the generator: the styles, the instruments and how each is synthesized, the scales, harmonies, rhythms and grooves, the structure of melodies and loops, the effects, the mix and the mastering.

2.2 Every Sound already exists before anyone hears it. The generator is deterministic. Each Sound ID always produces exactly the same Sound, on any device, for any user. The full set of Sounds is fixed by Banshee’s design when the generator is written; playing a Sound ID reveals one of them, just as opening a page reveals text that was already written in a book.

2.3 You choose a Sound; you do not create it. Picking a style, a number or a variant, or transposing or muting layers with the app’s controls, selects which of Banshee’s Sounds the app produces. These choices are not a creative contribution to the Sound, and they give you no ownership of it. Anyone who enters the same Sound ID gets the same Sound.

2.4 Ownership. Banshee owns all rights in the generator, the app and the Sounds. If, under any law, any right in a Sound (as opposed to your Work) were to arise for you, you assign it to Banshee, free of charge, worldwide and for the longest term the law allows, to the extent that law permits. Where an assignment is not possible, you agree not to assert that right against Banshee or against other users of the same Sound. You keep every right in your own Works (see §3.3).

3. What you may do

3.1 The license. Banshee grants you, as an individual, for Personal Use (or for Business Use, under §3.5), a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license, subject to this license being in force (see §6), to use the Sounds as part of your Works.

3.2 Commercial Use needs a Paid Plan.

• On the free plan, the license covers non-commercial use only: you may use the Sounds to practise, learn, make demos and create Works that you do not release or earn from, and share them privately. Any Commercial Use of a Work containing Sounds needs a Paid Plan.
• With a Paid Plan, you may also make Commercial Use of your Works in any medium: record, release, sell, stream, broadcast, perform, synchronise and otherwise exploit them, with no royalties, fees or credit owed to Banshee. This covers every Sound, including those you downloaded on the free plan.
• After a Paid Plan ends, Works you made available or exploited commercially while it was active stay licensed for good, as long as you have not broken this license. New Commercial Use after it ends needs a Paid Plan again.

Credit (“Sounds by Wavebank”) is welcome but never required.

3.3 Your Works are yours. Banshee claims no rights in your Works. Your licence over the Sounds inside them survives as long as this license is in force.

3.4 Collaborators. You may share Sounds with the people you are making a specific Work with (co-writers, producers, mixing or mastering engineers, labels), only for that Work. Each of them may use them only in that Work.

3.5 Personal Use, and the Business License. The Free, Starter and Pro plans license Personal Use only (and the free plan, non-commercial use only: §3.2). Paying for one of them does not license an organisation that is not a Small Organisation.

Business Use needs the Business License, available in two ways:

• Wavebank Business, a yearly subscription bought in the app. It licenses Business Use for one person, the holder of the Apple Account that bought it, working for the organisation named in the app. Each person needs their own subscription. It lasts while the subscription is active. Uses made while it was active remain licensed after it ends, as long as you have not broken this license.
• A written agreement with Banshee, for several people, a whole organisation or other terms. Write to hello@banshee.pro and we will be glad to discuss one.

You decide whether you need the Business License, based on the definitions above. If you are unsure, ask us. Banshee does not collect the name you enter in the app: it stays on your devices and on the certificate the app produces. If you need a countersigned contract, write to hello@banshee.pro with your App Store transaction ID.

4. What you may not do

4.1 Sell, give away, share, distribute or publish any Sound as a sound, alone or in any Sound Product, whether or not you edited, processed, renamed, combined or re-recorded it.

4.2 Upload Sounds to sample marketplaces, sound libraries, preset or patch stores, or any platform whose purpose is distributing sounds for others to make music with.

4.3 Register any Sound, or any Work in which the Sounds can be identified on their own, with a content-identification system (such as YouTube Content ID) in a way that claims the Sound itself, or claim exclusive rights over a Sound in any way.

4.4 Use the Sounds to train, fine-tune or evaluate any machine-learning model, or to build a dataset for that purpose.

4.5 Extract or reproduce the generator, or produce the Sounds outside the app.

4.6 Transfer or sublicense this license, except as allowed in §3.4.

4.7 Use the Sounds for Business Use without the Business License (§3.5), or misstate an organisation’s size to avoid it.

4.8 Make Commercial Use of a Work containing Sounds without a Paid Plan (§3.2).

5. Not exclusive

Because the same Sound ID always produces the same Sound, other users may find and use the same Sounds. This license gives you no exclusivity, and you may not stop anyone else from using a Sound, or claim payment for its use.

6. If you break this license

6.1 The licence ends automatically the moment you break §4, without notice. From then on, any further copying, distribution or exploitation of the Sounds, including inside Works already published, is unauthorised use of Banshee’s Sounds.

6.2 What Banshee may do:

• ask you, and the platforms involved, to remove the infringing material, including by legal takedown notices;
• claim compensation for the damage caused, including what you earned from the infringement;
• end your access to the app’s paid features;
• take any other action the law allows.

6.3 What you must do: stop the infringing use and remove the infringing material from wherever you published it.

6.4 If the breach was only of §4.3 and you withdraw the claim within 14 days of being told, Banshee may at its discretion restore your licence.

7. General

7.1 Nothing to clear. The Sounds contain no samples or recordings of third parties, so using them in your Works under this license needs no clearance, permission or payment to anyone. Melodies and rhythms are generated, not copied; if one ever happens to resemble an existing work by coincidence, how you use it in your Work is your decision. The Sounds are otherwise provided as they are. Your rights as a consumer under the law are not affected.

7.2 Content ID claims. If a third party claims a Sound through a content-identification system against your Work, tell us at hello@banshee.pro and we will help you dispute it.

7.3 Changes. Banshee may publish new versions of this license. A new version applies to Sounds you download after you accept it in the app. Sounds you downloaded under an earlier version keep the terms you accepted.

7.4 Proof of acceptance. The app records which version you accepted and when, on your device.

7.5 Severability. If a court finds any part of this license invalid, the rest stays in force, and the invalid part is replaced by the valid provision closest to its purpose.

7.6 Law and courts. This license is governed by Spanish law. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live and may go to its courts. Otherwise, the courts of Elche (Alicante), Spain, have jurisdiction.
