When a User generates a song they like, they can download the song in wav, mp3 or midi format. For these songs, the ownership is retained by soundpiece, but the User is granted a license to use that song for the following purposes: (i) to sync the song to a moving image (for example, use as background music in YouTube videos), (ii) to share the song on social media, (iii) to incorporate the song or music loop into a wider music composition and in addition, to use the song for any reasonable non-commercial purpose. The download type and number of downloads is limited depending on the User’s subscription plan. The User will not be required to pay soundpiece any royalties to use the generated songs once downloaded.
​
