  3. Industry-Only Platform
    1. The Anamorphic Sounds platform and sound design catalogue is provided on an industry only basis to approved users. By registering and using the catalogue, you confirm you are acting wholly or mainly for the purposes of your trade, business, craft or profession, including trailer houses, film studios, advertising agencies, post production companies, brands, and related creative industry businesses.
    2. This platform does not provide services to individual consumers or members of the public.
  4. Account Approval and Eligibility

    2. You agree to provide accurate and complete information when registering and to keep it updated. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and credentials.
  5. Platform Access Fee
    1. Platform access fees are as set out on the Site from time to time, unless otherwise agreed in writing. The access fee provides an approved user with access to browse, audition and download catalogue sounds for evaluation and internal testing purposes only. It does not include any licence to use sounds in released or public-facing projects. Licences must be requested and agreed separately per use.
    2. The access fee is generally non refundable, except where required by applicable law or agreed by us in writing.
  6. Auditioning and Downloads (Evaluation Only)
    1. Approved users may browse, audition and download sounds from the catalogue for internal evaluation, mockups and testing.
    2. You must not publish, broadcast, distribute, sell, sublicense, share, upload, or otherwise exploit any downloaded sound (or any part of it) in any project without a licence granted by us in writing for that specific use.
    3. We may apply project and user-specific watermarking or other identification measures to downloaded files and/or licensed deliverables. You must not attempt to remove. obscure, overwrite, or interfere with any watermarking or identification measures.
  7. License Requests, Quotes and Grant of Rights
    1. If you wish to use any sound in any project, you must submit a licence request through the Site before any release, distribution, publication, broadcast or commercial use.
    2. A licence is granted only when all of the following have occurred: we confirm approval in writing; you accept the quote and licence terms; you pay the applicable fee in full (unless invoicing terms are agreed in writing); and we provide written confirmation of the licence.
    3. Licence fees are quoted per use and may be calculated based on factors including (without limitation): term (duration); territory (geographic scope); usage type (advertising, trailer, film, episodic television/streaming, games, broadcast, online); media and distribution channels; exclusivity (if requested); project context (for example, major brand campaigns or high profile productions); and/or any other factors relevant to scope, risk, and value.
    4. We may also offer blanket licence agreements for ongoing platform access. Details of blanket licence terms are available on request. Licences are project specific unless a blanket agreement is expressly agreed in writing; a licence granted for one project does not grant rights for any other project, edit, cutdown, campaign extension, sequel, version, or reuse.
    5. We may refuse any licence request at our discretion.
  8. Custom Sound Variations
    1. Approved users may request a custom variation of any sound in the catalogue through the ‘request’ function on the Site.
    2. Custom variation requests are subject to availability, additional fees, and separate written agreement.
    3. Submission of a request does not guarantee delivery or grant any rights.
  9. Availability of Sounds
    1. Sounds within the Anamorphic catalogue are clearly marked to indicate whether they are exclusive to the industry platform or also available to the public via Infinite Samples. You should check the availability status of any sound before making licensing decisions.
  10. Transformations and Derivatives Do Not Avoid Licensing
    1. You must obtain a licence even if you alter, transform, process, or modify a sound. This includes, without limitation: time stretching, pitch shifting, reversing, chopping, layering, EQ, compression, distortion, re-sampling, granular processing, convolution, de-noising, re-recording, or incorporating the sound into a derivative work.
    2. Any use that incorporates the original sound or any portion of it, whether recognisable or not, including where the sound has been transformed, constitutes use of the original sound and must be licensed.
  11. Prohibited Uses
    1. You must not: share account access or downloaded sounds with unauthorised third parties; redistribute, resell, sublicense, or repackage sounds as standalone audio, sample packs, preset packs, libraries, or any competing catalogue; use sounds for unlawful, defamatory, infringing, or otherwise illegal purposes; use, input, upload or otherwise process any sound through any artificial intelligence system, machine learning model, or automated system designed to analyse, generate or manipulate data.
  12. Watermarking and Enforcement
    1. All sounds are watermarked and linked to user accounts, company details and IP addresses.
    2. Unauthorised use may result in immediate termination of access, revocation of licences and potential legal action.
  13. Price, Payment and VAT
    1. Prices shown on the Site exclude VAT unless stated. VAT will be charged where applicable.
    2. Licence fees must be paid before the licence is granted and before the sound is used, unless invoicing terms are agreed in writing.
