+title: Terms for Sampling
+---
+
+Sousastep's loops are not royalty free.
+
+By sampling, you agree to the following terms:
+
+- Listed as co-producer where applicable
+
+- 25% publishing & distribution on any song independently released through streaming platforms
+
+- If the song uploaded to streaming services is JUST instrumental, the splits are 50%
+
+- If placed with an artist on a major label, must reach out below.
+
+- 50/50 splits on beats sold to artists using these loops (inform artist of terms)
+
+- If a loop is used as the entire/majority instrumental of a song, the split for distribution would be 50%
+
+Do not add Sousastep as a primary artist or featured artist when uploading to streaming platforms
+
+You do not have right to claim copyright on any of these samples, these are for non-exclusive use.
+
+If you would like to use the music for anything outside of music release(game, tv, app, etc) please reach out below.
+
+Anything NON PROFIT like non monetized YouTube/content/online games can sample freely.
