License Terms

Last updated: February 2025

The Deal

When you buy samples on DIGR, you get a royalty-free license to use them in your music. You can release tracks commercially, stream them, sync them to video — the works. You don't own the original samples, but you can use them forever.

One purchase = one person. If you're a team or studio, each person needs their own license.

✓ You CAN

Use samples in your productions
Release music commercially (streaming, sales, sync)
Chop, edit, process, and transform samples
Use in unlimited projects
Use in beats you sell or lease
Use in video content (YouTube, film, ads)
Keep your license forever

✕ You CANNOT

Resell samples as-is (as a sample pack)
Redistribute or share with others
Claim you created the original samples
Use in competing sample platforms
Transfer your license to someone else
Include in template/construction kits for resale

💡 Credit is appreciated but not required. If you want to shout out the sample creator, they'd love that — but it's not mandatory.

Commercial Use

Yes, commercial use is included. You can:

Release songs on Spotify, Apple Music, etc.
Sell beats to artists
License tracks for film, TV, ads, games
Monetize YouTube videos with the samples
Perform live with tracks containing samples

No extra fees. No royalties to pay. That's the whole point.

Beat Makers & Producers

If you make beats for other artists:

You can sell beats containing these samples
You can lease beats with unlimited uses
The artist who buys your beat gets the right to use it commercially
You cannot transfer the sample files themselves

Free Samples

Free samples on DIGR have the same license terms as paid samples. The only difference is the price — your rights are identical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use samples in songs I release on streaming platforms?

Yes! That's exactly what this license is for. Release on Spotify, Apple Music, wherever — you're covered.

Do I need to credit the sample creator?

No, credit is not required. However, many creators appreciate a shoutout if you're willing. It's a nice gesture but totally optional.

Can I use the same sample in multiple songs?

Yes, unlimited projects. One purchase covers everything you ever make with that sample.

Can I share samples with my band/collaborators?

The license is for one person. If multiple people in your team will be using the samples directly, each person needs their own license. However, if you make a beat and share the finished track (not the raw samples), that's fine.

What if someone claims my song uses their sample?

If you purchased the sample from DIGR, you have a valid license. Keep your purchase receipt. We can verify your license if needed for disputes.

Can I put samples in a Splice/Loopcloud/sample service?

No. You cannot redistribute samples on other sample platforms or services, even if modified.

What happens if a creator removes their pack?

Your license is permanent. Even if a pack is removed from DIGR, your rights to samples you purchased remain intact forever.
