You may include the Derivative Song in so-called short-form and promotional music videos solely to promote and market the Derivative Song, using either your own original visual material or third-party content that you have permission to use.
You can create remixes or new versions of the Derivative Song (but not the Tracklib Sounds) provided that any new version does not contain any more of the Tracklib Sounds as are in the Derivative Song.
You will not acquire any rights in the Tracklib Sounds, except as specifically stated in this Agreement.
NOTE CAREFULLY THAT IF YOU WISH TO USE ANY PART(S) OF ANY ORIGINAL SONGS IN A DERIVATIVE SONG (WHETHER OR NOT INCLUDING TRACKLIB SOUNDS), YOU MUST FIRST OBTAIN A SAMPLE LICENSE FROM TRACKLIB. SEE PARAGRAPH 22 ABOVE FOR MORE DETAILS.

You must fulfil all obligations of this Agreement to maintain your Sounds License. Failure to do so may result in the loss of your rights to use the Tracklib Sounds and the Derivative Song.
The Derivative Song must significantly differ from the Tracklib Sounds. The Derivative Song must predominantly consist of new material created independently. The Derivative Song cannot simply be a reproduction of Tracklib Sounds. Whether you have complied with this is in the sole discretion of the original rights holders, to protect their integrity and rights.
Although you will own the new material created independently in each Derivative Song, and you may register and collect income from the Derivative Song with collective management organisations, you will not acquire any rights in the Tracklib Sounds except as specifically stated in this Agreement.
Prohibited uses:
You cannot use, make, resell, license, or in any way exploit or authorise any use of Tracklib Sounds (i) on a stand alone basis, in isolation, including as incorporated and/or repackaged into sample packs, loops, libraries, music recognition systems or similar (ii) except as incorporated into the Derivative Song and as expressly allowed by this Agreement and/or (iii) in any way that violates or infringes any rights of any third party.

27 Termination
27.1 Breach. If you fail to perform the obligations in this Paragraph 23, for example by acting against its provisions or using Derivative Songs for any of the prohibited uses, this may constitute a breach that can lead to termination of the Songs License. Additionally, if a Derivative Song does not comply with the terms in this Paragraph 23, this could result in copyright infringement, which is potentially a criminal offence. In such cases, you could be liable for contract breach damages and potentially fines for copyright infringement.
27.2 Notice of Breach. If you breach any obligations under this Paragraph 23, Tracklib can issue a written notice of such breach.

Email notification is considered sufficient for this purpose.

(i) You, your authorised distributors, or subcontractors become insolvent, bankrupt, enter administration or receivership, undergo liquidation (unless it's part of a bona fide amalgamation or re-construction where the new entity agrees to assume the obligations under this license), or face a winding-up order that isn't discharged within 90 days; and/or
(ii) Anything similar to the above happens under the law of any jurisdiction pertaining to you, your authorised distributors, or subcontractors
27.4 Effect of Termination. Upon the termination of the Sounds License:
(i) You and your subcontractors must immediately stop using the Derivative Songs; and
(ii) You automatically grant Tracklib the right to issue take-down notices for the Derivative Songs to all digital service providers such as Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube.
However, termination of the Sounds License does not affect any pre-existing rights or claims Tracklib may have against you.

(i) This Sounds license constitutes the full agreement between the parties regarding its subject matter, replacing all prior agreements and discussions.
(ii) A person who is not a party to this Sounds License shall have no right to enforce any term of it.
(iii) (a) if any provision or part-provision of this Sounds License is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed deleted, but that shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of this Sounds License and b) if so deleted the Sounds License shall be interpreted, to the greatest extent possible, to achieve the intended commercial result of the original.
