3. Grant of License — Licensed, Not Sold

The Products and Materials are licensed, not sold. No ownership, title, or intellectual property rights in any template, routing design, preset, manual, or documentation are transferred to the Licensee.

3.3 Single-User License

This license is granted to one natural person (one individual user). The Licensee may install the Products and Materials on multiple devices owned or directly controlled by that individual, provided that:

  • Modify, adapt, and customize the session files, routing, and presets for their own workflow;
  • Render, export, and distribute finished audio created using the Products and Materials (e.g., songs, mixes, masters, stems, podcasts, scores, etc.);

No attribution is required on commercial releases. Where appropriate (e.g., educational content, behind-the-scenes, credits), voluntary attribution to Pro Audio Templates and any named contributing engineers is appreciated.

4. Restrictions & Prohibited Uses

The Licensee shall not:

4.1 Redistribution & Resale

  • Resell, redistribute, sublicense, gift, trade, or otherwise make the Products or Materials available to any third party, in whole or in part;

  • Share the Products or Materials with clients, collaborators, producers, engineers, students, or team members as stand-alone assets.

4.2 Competing Products & Derivative Works

5. Intellectual Property & Contributing Engineers

5.1 Ownership

All rights, title, and interest in and to the Products and Materials—including copyright, trade dress, trade secrets, and other intellectual property—are and remain the exclusive property of Blue Oak Recording, Inc. and/or its licensors.

5.2 Contributing Engineers

Some Products (including variants) may include contributions from external engineers or producers (“Contributing Engineers”). Their contributions remain protected, and the Licensee:

  • May not copy, extract, or redistribute their work as standalone presets, templates, or educational materials;
  • May not use those contributions to create competing products;
  • Shall provide recognition if explicitly requested by PAT in relation to specific Products.

5.3 No Implied Rights

Except for the limited license granted in Section 3, no other rights are granted, whether by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

6. Third-Party Software & Compatibility

6.1 Third-Party Dependencies

The Products and Materials may require specific:

  • DAWs (e.g., Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton, etc.);
  • Plugins or plugin bundles (e.g., Waves, FabFilter, Plugin Alliance, etc.);
  • Operating systems and hardware.

These third-party tools are not provided by PAT and are licensed under their own terms.

6.2 Licensee Responsibility

The Licensee is solely responsible for:

  • Obtaining and maintaining valid licenses for all third-party software and plugins;
  • Ensuring their system meets required technical specifications;
  • Managing OS, DAW, and plugin updates and maintaining backups.

6.3 No Ongoing Compatibility Guarantee

PAT does not guarantee that Products and Materials will remain compatible with:

  • Future OS versions,
  • Future DAW updates,
  • Future plugin updates or discontinuations.

Where possible, PAT may provide updated versions or workarounds at its discretion, but is under no obligation to do so.

7. Anti-Piracy & Enforcement

7.1 Piracy

Any unauthorized distribution, sharing, or resale of the Products or Materials—whether intentional or negligent—constitutes piracy and a material breach of this Agreement.

7.2 Investigations & Enforcement

Pro Audio Templates reserves the right to:

  • Investigate suspected breaches using reasonable methods (including purchase record reviews and limited technical measures);
  • Issue takedown notices under applicable copyright laws;
  • Suspend or terminate access to future updates or purchases;
  • Pursue civil and, where applicable, criminal remedies.

7.3 Costs & Damages

In the event of a breach, PAT may seek:

  • Injunctive relief;
  • Statutory and actual damages;
  • Recovery of lost profits;
  • Recovery of reasonable attorney’s fees and enforcement costs.
8. Updates, Revisions & Product Changes

8.1 Updates

From time to time, PAT may provide updates, revisions, or additional Materials (e.g., refined routing, updated presets, revised documentation). Access to such updates may:

  • Be included with a given product or tier;
  • Be offered as a paid upgrade;
  • Be discontinued at any time.

8.2 Discontinuation

PAT may modify, suspend, or discontinue any Product, bundle format, or variant (e.g., dropping support for a deprecated plugin bundle) without prior notice and without obligation to provide replacement Products.

8.3 Old Versions

The Licensee may continue to use previously downloaded versions subject to this Agreement, but PAT is not obligated to support, update, or repair behavior related to outdated software environments.

9. Digital Delivery, Refunds & Chargebacks

9.1 Digital Delivery

Products are delivered digitally, typically via download links or account-based access. Download windows or limits may apply depending on the delivery system.

9.2 Final Sale

Because Products and Materials are digital goods that cannot be “returned,” all sales are final once the Licensee has purchased the files, except where required by applicable law. Access Equals Delivery. Upon completion of the purchase, the Licensee is immediately granted access to the digital Products and Materials. Because digital goods cannot be returned or verified as “unused,” access to the download link or delivery system constitutes full delivery of the Product, regardless of whether the Licensee downloads, opens, or uses the files.

9.3 Technical Issues

If a technical issue prevents access or delivery, PAT will make reasonable efforts to restore access or provide alternative delivery. This is the Licensee’s sole remedy for delivery issues.

9.4 Chargebacks

Unauthorized or fraudulent chargebacks are treated as a breach of this Agreement. PAT reserves the right to:

  • Revoke access to Products and Materials;
  • Terminate the license;
  • Pursue recovery of fees and associated costs.
10. Support & Communication

PAT may provide support for:

  • Download and file access issues;

  • Compatibility questions within supported environments at the time of sale.

10.2 Not Included in Support

Support does not include:

  • Custom session builds or modifications beyond the provided Products;

11. Privacy & User Data (High Level)

PAT may collect limited information related to purchases, product delivery, and support (e.g., name, email, purchase history) as necessary to:

  • Fulfill orders;
  • Provide support;
  • Maintain internal records.

  • PAT’s total cumulative liability for any claim related to the Products, Materials, or this Agreement shall not exceed the total amount paid by the Licensee for the specific Product giving rise to the claim.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in such cases, the above limitation shall apply to the fullest extent permitted.

14. Indemnification

The Licensee agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Blue Oak Recording, Inc., Pro Audio Templates, its owners, employees, and Contributing Engineers from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising out of:

  • The Licensee’s use of the Products or Materials in violation of this Agreement;
  • The Licensee’s violation of any applicable law or third-party rights;
  • Any content created or distributed by the Licensee using the Products or Materials.

This obligation survives termination of this Agreement.
