Terms & Conditions
Last updated: 2026-08-23. Please read these terms carefully before using the Awa Sounds website or purchasing any product or service. By accessing the site or completing a purchase you agree to be bound by these terms.
1. About us
Awa Sounds is the trading name of AWASOUNDS LTD, a UK-registered company. We operate awasounds.com ("the Site"), an independent music label and artist services platform offering beat licensing, cover art, music production, studio services and an artist membership programme.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years old to create an account or make a purchase. If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or guardian has reviewed and accepted these terms on your behalf. By using the Site you represent that the information you provide is accurate and that you have authority to enter into this agreement.
3. Accounts
- You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure. Notify us immediately at awasoundsenquires@gmail.com if you suspect unauthorised access.
- We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or remain inactive for more than 24 months.
- Account data (lyrics, playlists, saved beats) is stored on our platform and subject to our Privacy Policy.
4. Beat licensing
All beats available on the Site are owned by Awa Sounds / AWASOUNDS LTD. When you purchase a beat you receive a licence — not ownership of the underlying composition or sound recording. The specific rights, usage limits and restrictions for each licence tier are set out in the applicable licence agreement issued at purchase:
Payment of the listed fee constitutes your acceptance of the applicable licence agreement. A copy is made available for download and print at time of purchase.
5. Cover art & other services
All cover art purchases are governed by the applicable licence agreement issued at purchase. The full terms for each product type are:
- Cover Art Licence — single-use exclusive; no resale; mandatory @awasounds Instagram credit.
- Cover Art Video Licence — single-use exclusive animated visualiser; no resale; mandatory @awasounds Instagram credit on all public posts.
Mixing, mastering, video editing and other bespoke services are provided under the specific scope agreed at time of purchase. Unless otherwise stated in writing:
- Delivered files are licensed for the specific project described at purchase — not for resale or sub-licensing.
- Awa Sounds retains the right to display completed work in its portfolio, unless the client requests otherwise in writing before delivery.
- Revision rounds, turnaround times and deliverables are as described on the relevant service page at time of purchase.
6. Membership (Awa Sounds Insider)
- The Insider membership is a recurring subscription billed monthly at the listed rate.
- Member discounts apply to beat purchases and selected services while the subscription is active.
- You may cancel at any time; access continues until the end of the current billing period. No partial refunds for unused days.
- We reserve the right to adjust membership pricing with 30 days' notice to active subscribers.
7. Payments
- All prices are in GBP (£) and include any applicable VAT where required by UK law.
- Payments are processed securely by GoDaddy Payments or Stripe. We do not store card details.
- Digital products (beat files, artwork) are delivered electronically. By purchasing you acknowledge you are buying a digital product and consent to immediate delivery.
8. Returns & refunds
- Digital downloads: once a digital file has been delivered or made available for download, you lose your statutory right to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. We confirm this to you before purchase. If a file is defective (corrupted, incorrect), we will replace it at no charge or issue a full refund.
- Services not yet started: you may cancel for a full refund within 14 days of purchase if no work has begun.
- Services in progress: a partial refund may be offered at our discretion based on work completed.
