13. Orders / our contract with you / delays

The contract between you and CFA-Sound or the purchase of Products is formed in each case only when we accept your payment and make such Products(s) available for you to download and/or deliver. We accept your order when we send you an e-mail to accept your order or when we provide you with the relevant product links, whichever is the earliest, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us. Please note that we may reject an order if we cannot accept it. This could be due to an error in the price or description of the product, unavailability, technical problems, or license restrictions, such as our ability to sell it. In this case, we will inform you and will not charge you any costs (and will refund you if your payment has already been made). We are not responsible for delays beyond our control. If our delivery of products is delayed due to an event beyond our control, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you and we will take measures to minimize the impact of the delay. Provided that we do this, we are not liable for delays caused by the event. However, if there is a risk of a significant delay, you can contact us to terminate the contract and receive a refund for all products that you have paid for but have not received.

You understand that in order to purchase or license any product or service provided on the website, you must disclose credit card or other payment information (the “information”) to third parties, including but not limited to us (the provider). You agree that the provider could use the information to charge You for any purchased or licensed products or services through the website. The company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to make any necessary updates, adjustments, and modifications at any time without notice of product descriptions, warranties, and prices for whatever reason, including, but not limited to, your or the company’s errors, product cancellations, changed costs, different/new market conditions or other factors/activities.

15. Use of products

All products (including sample packs, sound libraries, sample libraries, and others) are sold under the terms of the user license we grant (“User License”). The user license grants you the right to use the purchased loops and/or samples and integrate them into your original mixed music productions (royalty-free – no additional fee or license fee is required for such integrated use). You agree and acknowledge that CFA-Sound has a protected interest in all sound recordings on or within the website and that any use by you will frustrate the purpose of this agreement or circumvent the CFA-Sound revenue model (including, but not limited to, sale, rental, or otherwise) the use or distribution of non-integrated content would likely inflict an irreparable loss on CFA-Sound in a manner that could not adequately compensate for the damage. 

16. Digital content updates

We may ask you to update or update digital content provided that the digital content always matches the description we provided to you prior to purchase. 

17. When you don’t give us the necessary information

We may need certain information from you so that we can deliver the products to you.

We are not responsible for the late delivery of the products or the failure to deliver part of them if this is due to the fact that you do not provide us with the necessary information within a reasonable period of time after being requested to do so. 

18. Payment and pricing

You can pay for purchased items using one of our approved debit or credit card payment providers like Stripe or Paypal. All prices are given in EURO and are valid until changed by CFA-Sound by publishing new or different prices on the website. If you order products and the price published on the website is not correct, we will contact you to inform you of the correct price and ask you whether we should continue to place your order at the correct price. You agree to this and acknowledge that the exchange rates change daily that all exchange rates stated on the website only represent a current exchange rate and that you will be charged the exchange rate valid at the time. 

19. Reasons why we may stop delivering products to you

We may have to suspend delivery of a product to handle technical problems make minor technical changes or updates, update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, or make changes to the product that you have requested or communicated to us. 

20. Missing payment

We can also suspend delivery of the products if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the Products as you should and you still fail to make payment within five days after we have reminded you that payment is due, we may suspend delivery of the Products until you pay us the outstanding amounts.
