Terms of Service

Sample Monsta by Gabriel Santiago DBA Muzik Society

Last Updated: May 28, 2026
Effective Date: May 28, 2026
Version: 2026-05-28

Welcome to Sample Monsta! These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Sample Monsta software application and related services (collectively, the "Service") provided by Gabriel Santiago DBA Muzik Society ("we," "us," or "our"), a sole proprietorship based in Medellin, Colombia.

By accessing or using Sample Monsta, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our Service.

1. Description of Service

Sample Monsta is an intelligent drum library manager designed for music producers. The software helps you organize, manage, and creatively work with your drum sample collections, providing tools to make music production swifter, more creative, and organized. Muzik Society also develops additional products (including SAMPL4R and future plugins) that operate under the same account and licensing system described in these Terms.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use Sample Monsta. If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent or guardian's permission to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements.

3. Account Registration

3.1 Account Creation

To access certain features of Sample Monsta, you must create an account. When registering, you agree to:

3.2 Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account information.

4. License & Access Model

Your access to each Muzik Society product is governed by a license tied to your account. Licenses are per-product; the same account may hold licenses for multiple products (such as Sample Monsta, SAMPL4R, and future products) simultaneously.

4.1 Free PROMO License

Upon creating an account and registering a product, you are granted a complimentary promotional ("PROMO") license at no charge. The PROMO license remains active through continued use of the software. It is non-transferable and non-sublicensable.

4.2 Active-Use Requirement & Inactivity Expiry

The PROMO license is maintained through active use. If you do not launch or validate the application for 10 consecutive days, the license enters an expired state. Supporters (users who have made any prior donation) receive an extended 20-day grace window. Reactivating an already-expired license requires a donation (any amount) or a perpetual license purchase.

4.3 Perpetual License (One-Time Purchase)

You may convert your PROMO license to a perpetual license through a one-time purchase. A perpetual license never expires due to inactivity and remains valid for the version of the software purchased and all subsequent updates released while the license is active.

4.4 Hardware Binding

Your license is bound to specific hardware for activation purposes. Each license may be activated on a limited number of devices. Changing hardware may require reactivation or contacting support. We reserve the right to limit or revoke licenses that show unusual activation patterns indicating abuse.

4.5 License Restrictions

You may NOT:

5. Changes to Trial, Free, and License Terms

We may modify the duration of free or trial access, the inactivity grace period (currently 10 days for free users, 20 days for Supporters), eligibility for promotional (PROMO) licenses, the scope of free features, the post-expiration reactivation paths, and other license terms at any time, effective on reasonable notice. Material changes will be reflected in an updated version of these Terms (see "Changes to These Terms"), and continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

6. Payments

6.1 Merchant of Record

All purchases are processed through Paddle.com, our Merchant of Record. Paddle handles all payment processing, tax collection (including VAT and GST), currency conversion, and buyer-facing refund administration on our behalf. By completing a purchase, you agree to Paddle's Checkout Buyer Terms and acknowledge that your payment relationship is with Paddle.

6.2 Refunds

Refund eligibility and processing are handled by Paddle, our Merchant of Record, in accordance with Paddle's terms. To request a refund, contact us at [email protected] with your order number or purchase email address.

6.3 Donations and Tips

Any donations or tips made through the Service are voluntary and entirely non-refundable. They do not entitle the sender to any additional license rights, features, or services.

7. Acceptable Use

When using Sample Monsta, you agree not to:

8. Intellectual Property

8.1 Our Ownership

Sample Monsta and all other Muzik Society software products, including all code, graphics, user interface design, and content, are owned by Gabriel Santiago DBA Muzik Society and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

8.2 Your Creative Output

You retain full ownership of any audio, samples, and music you create or process using Sample Monsta. We claim no rights whatsoever to your creative output. The software processes your audio files locally on your device; we do not access, scan, upload, or claim any interest in your content.

9.3 Effect of Termination

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Muzik Society shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or use, arising out of or related to your use of Sample Monsta, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability for any and all claims arising from your use of the Service shall not exceed the amounts you paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
