Terms

1. Applicability

This EULA (“End User License Agreement”) applies to the website, the products, and the intellectual property rights of Cinematic Alpha.

Cinematic Alpha® is the primary brand, and all related content is protected by copyright. The slogans “No Ordinary Samples” and “Just Play Music!” are protected under copyright law.

Genealogy Audio is a sub-brand of Cinematic Alpha, and its related content, including the slogan “Your Sound Legacy Tree”, is equally protected by copyright.

2. License Grant

The product is licensed to a single user only, allowing both individual and commercial use.
Products released for different players (e.g., Genealogy Player, Native Instruments Kontakt, Audiomodern Soundbox) are not identical. Each player has unique features and capabilities, and adjustments may be made by the sound designer to optimize compatibility.
Cinematic Alpha may, in exceptional cases, offer crossgrades for products created for different players, but no crossgrade policy is currently in place.
Sounds and samples are licensed, not sold. They can be installed on the user’s personal computer, but cannot be copied, cloned, or repurposed into commercial products.
No content from the libraries may be used for commercial machine learning or derivative AI products.
The use of Cinematic Alpha libraries in music generated for AI companies (e.g., auto-generated music production) is strictly prohibited.
All Cinematic Alpha libraries are protected by intellectual property rights, including copyright law. Unauthorized use is a violation of these rights.

3. Resale

Users are prohibited from sharing, copying, reselling, or distributing the libraries.

Distribution in any form — including loop/sample packs, multi-samples, sampler patches, or music-oriented playback devices — is strictly forbidden.

Filtering, layering, combining, or re-synthesizing the samples does not remove this restriction.

4. Rights

Andrew Fly retains full copyright and ownership of all sounds and programs.

Genealogy Audio, as a sub-brand of Cinematic Alpha, is equally protected.

5. Refunds

No refunds will be provided for issues related to downloaded products.

Possible alternative solutions may include remote assistance or providing alternative download links.

Refunds are not available for:

dissatisfaction with the product,
compatibility mistakes (e.g., Kontakt Player vs. Kontakt Full),
temporary download issues,
hardware limitations (e.g., older devices).

6. Termination

The license is terminated immediately if the user violates any terms of this EULA.

7. Responsibilities

Cinematic Alpha is not liable for misuse, incomplete payments, or downtime due to third-party services.
Users must save personal backups of their purchases. Cinematic Alpha cannot guarantee perpetual download availability but can provide valid links upon request.
If a product includes a serial number, users must keep their purchase confirmation email for future installations.

8. Digital Music Recognition

Cinematic Alpha is not responsible for issues caused by Digital Music Recognition systems or Content ID algorithms.

9. Unauthorized Use

Unauthorized use of Cinematic Alpha products, logos, or trademarks will result in legal action.

10. Links Expiration

Cinematic Alpha reserves the right to suspend or not renew download links to prevent piracy. Users are strongly encouraged to download and back up their products immediately after purchase.

11. Business Reputation

Any intentional damage to the reputation of Cinematic Alpha will be reported to the competent authorities.

12. Confidentiality and Suspicious Behavior

Users engaging in suspicious behavior — including intrusive inquiries into company policies, attempts to extract proprietary information, piracy, or actions aimed at harming Cinematic Alpha’s reputation — will be permanently banned, blocked from all services, and reported to relevant authorities such as CISA..
