What exactly am I purchasing ?

I used one of your tracks in my film.
Who do I credit?
You should give credit to the artist and composer of the music. That information is listed on both the track's preview page and in the email you are sent to confirm your purchase.
How many times can I use a track?
The license you select applies to the use of the track. If you buy a “personal/home” license and want to use the track in a broadcast or for business use, you will need to ”upgrade” to the appropriate license. You can use the track as many times in that project as you wish as long as it meets the license agreement.
Do you have a returns policy ?
Once a track is purchased and downloaded we cannot accept the track back as it could have been duplicated.
