PAYMENTS, TAXES, AND REFUND POLICY
The Service accepts these forms of payment: credit cards issued by Canadian banks, The SampleBank Cards, The SampleBank Store Gift Certificates and Content Codes. If a credit card is being used for a transaction, The SampleBank may obtain preapproval for an amount up to the amount of the order. Billing occurs at the time of or shortly after your transaction. When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, The SampleBank Card; your credit card is then charged for any remaining balance.
You agree that you will pay for all products you purchase through the Service, and that The SampleBank may charge your credit card for any products purchased and for any additional amounts (including any taxes and late fees, as applicable) that may be accrued by or in connection with your Account. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TIMELY PAYMENT OF ALL FEES AND FOR PROVIDING THE SAMPLEBANK WITH A VALID CREDIT CARD FOR PAYMENT OF ALL FEES. All fees will be billed to the credit card you designate during the registration process. If you want to designate a different credit card or if there is a change in your credit card account status, you must change your information online in the Account Information section of The SampleBank; this may temporarily disrupt your access to the Service while The SampleBank verifies your new payment information.
Your total price will include the price of the product plus any applicable sales tax; such sales tax is based on the bill-to address and the sales tax rate in effect at the time you download the product. We will charge tax only in jurisdictions where digital goods are taxable.
All sales and rentals of products are final.
Prices for products offered via the Service may change at any time, and the Service does not provide price protection or refunds in the event of a price reduction or promotional offering.
If a product becomes unavailable following a transaction but prior to download, your sole remedy is a refund. If technical problems prevent or unreasonably delay delivery of your product, your exclusive and sole remedy is either replacement or refund of the price paid, as determined by The SampleBank.

Others
It may be necessary - by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence - for The SampleBank to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate.

Protection of Personal Information
The SampleBank takes precautions — including administrative, technical, and physical measures — to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
The SampleBank online services such as The SampleBank Online Store and The SampleBank Store use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal information is collected. To make purchases from these services, you must use an SSL-enabled browser such as Safari, Firefox, or Internet Explorer. Doing so protects the confidentiality of your personal information while it’s transmitted over the Internet.
When you use some The SampleBank products, services, or applications or post on an The SampleBank forum, chat room, or social networking service, the personal information you share is visible to other users and can be read, collected, or used by them. You are responsible for the personal information you choose to submit in these instances. For example, if you list your name and email address in a forum posting, that information is public. Please take care when using these features.
Integrity and Retention of Personal Information
The SampleBank makes it easy for you to keep your personal information accurate, complete, and up to date. We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
Access to Personal Information
You can help ensure that your contact information and preferences are accurate, complete, and up to date by logging in to your account. For other personal information, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access so you can request that we correct the data if it is inaccurate or delete the data if The SampleBank is not required to retain it by law or for legitimate business purposes. We may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, are extremely impractical, or for which access is not otherwise required by local law. Access, correction, or deletion requests can be made to the regional Privacy email addresses.
SAMPLE REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT
This Sample Representation Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into on <DATE>, by and between The SampleBank Inc., P.O. Box 47069, 10 Dundas Street East, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5B 0A1 (“TSBI”), and <OWNER_NAME>, having an address at <ADDRESS> (the “Owner”). Upon Owner’s acceptance of these terms and conditions, this License shall constitute a legally binding agreement.
WHEREAS TSBI owns and operates an online music sample licensing service known as The SampleBank™ (the “Service”);
AND WHEREAS the Owner desires to upload one or more sound recording sample(s) for licensing through the Service;
AND WHEREAS the Owner owns or exclusively controls all rights in and to the sound recording sample(s) uploaded by Owner for licensing through the Service and the excerpt(s) of the musical composition(s) embodied therein (such sound recording(s) and musical composition(s) are referred to collectively herein as the “Sample(s)”);
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, TSBI and Owner agree as follows:
- Appointment of Licensing Agent: Owner hereby appoints TSBI as Owner’s non-exclusive licensing agent for the Sample(s), and authorizes TSBI during the Term and throughout the world to license the Sample(s) for use in third party sound recordings through the Service in accordance with the licensing and pricing policies established by TSBI from time to time. Owner acknowledges that such licenses through the Service are typically granted on a world-wide, perpetual, flat-fee/buy-out basis using an automated process, and permit the use of the licensee’s resulting recording in any manner or media, including, without limitation, in synchronization with audio-visual works, and may permit looping or other editing to comply with a licensed duration. TSBI shall have the right to reproduce and stream the Sample(s) on the website and applications relating to the Service for the purpose of promoting and making the Sample(s) available for licensing.
- Owner Legally Bound: Owner shall legally bound by all third party licenses issued by TSBI through the Service with respect to the Sample(s).
- Exclusive Licenses: TSBI shall not issue any exclusive license with respect to the Sample(s) without the Owner’s prior written approval.
- Term: The term of this agreement (the “Term”) commences on Owner’s acceptance of this agreement and continues for an initial period of one (1) year. Thereafter, the Term shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year periods until terminated by either party no less than sixty (60) days prior to the then current contract year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TBSI shall have the right, upon notice to you, to terminate the Term at any time or remove one or more Sample(s) from the Service in its absolute discretion (including, without limitation, upon receipt of any so-called take-down notice). Upon expiration of the Term, TBSI will remove the Sample(s) from the Service and cease any further licensing thereof. The expiration or termination of the Term shall not affect licenses issued prior thereto.
- Revenue Sharing: TSBI shall pay to Owner sixty percent (65%) of the gross revenue (net of any applicable sales taxes) earned and actually received by TSBI from the licensing of the Sample(s).
- Accounting: TSBI shall account to Owner and pay royalties owing on a quarterly basis, within 60 days following each calendar quarter during which royalties were earned. Where the amount owing by TSBI to Owner for a particular quarter is less than $100.00, TSBI shall not be required to make payment, but shall instead carry such amount forward to the next month until the amount payable is more than $100.00.
- No Rights in Third Party Work: Owner acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no claims to an ownership, copyright or authorship interest in any third party sound recording or musical work that makes use of the Sample(s) licensed through the Service, and expressly disclaims any such interest.
- No DRM. Owner acknowledges and agrees that TSBI may make the Sample(s) available without embedded digital rights management or technical protection measures, and that TBSI shall not be responsible for the unauthorized reproduction or other use of the Sample(s) by third parties.
- Limited Representations and Warranties: Owner represents and warrants only that (a) it has the right and authority to enter into this Agreement, (b) the Samples are original to the Owner, are owned or controlled entirely by the Owner and do not infringe upon the intellectual property or contractual rights of any third party, (c) the consent of no other person, firm or corporation (including any publisher, record company, producer, mixer, performer, musician, songwriter, etc.) is or will be required to authorize TSBI’s licensing of the Sample(s) as described herein, (d) neither TSBI nor any of its licensees shall be obligated to make payments to any person, firm, corporation, union or guild as a result of their use of any Sample licensed through the Service, and (e) TSBI’s licensing of the Sample(s) as provided herein shall not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any third party or otherwise result in liability to any person.
- Indemnity: Owner shall indemnify and hold TSBI and its licensees and their respective directors and officers harmless from and against any and all damages and costs (including reasonable legal costs) arising as a result of any third party claim or demand based on a breach of Owner’s representations and warranties hereunder. TSBI agrees to notify the Owner of any claim to which the foregoing indemnity applies, and the Owner shall have the right to participate in the defence thereof at the Owner’s expense.
- Disclaimer: TSBI makes no representations or warranties with respect to the Service, including, without limitation, with respect to the security of the Service or the results that may be obtained from TSBI’s representation of the Sample(s) through the Service.
- Limitation of Liability: Subject to applicable law, in no event shall TSBI, or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates or licensees be liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages arising from, or directly or indirectly related to, TSBI’s representation of the Sample(s) hereunder, including without limitation, loss of revenue or anticipated profits, or lost business, data or sales, even if TSBI or its representatives have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
