2. PARTIES OF THIS AGREEMENT. The parties of this contract are the Owner and the Licensee.
3. LICENSE GRANT. The Owner declares to be the sole owner of copyright and related rights of the compositions contained in the Recordings, without prejudice to SIAE, through which the copyright is exclusively administered in name of the Owner. The compositions of which the Owner is not the composer are in the public domain regarding the copyright stricto sensu.
The Owner declares to be the producer and sole owner of rights on the Recordings.
The ownership of the Recordings is not transferred to the Licensee. The Owner grants to the Licensee a license for the uses listed in the following paragraph 4. This license concerns only the rights regarding the musical production and the musical perfomance included in the Recordings, and not the copyright stricto sensu of the compositions written by the Owner, which is managed through SIAE. Therefore, in the cases where the law requires that, a further license from SIAE or its local representative is required to use the compositions which are composed by the Owner.
The rights object of this agreement are extended to the Users of the Production, with the limitations stated in paragraphs 12 and 13.
4. AUTHORIZATIONS. The Owner, as the producer of the musical compositions contained in the Recordings and as the sole author in the case he is also the composer of the Recordings, authorizes the Licensee to:
a. embed the Recordings in the Production (soundtrack synchronization), which can contain text, audio and images of any kind, provided they are not illegal according to the law in force in the moment and in the place where the production is realised;
b. modify the Recordings by any means, in order to adapt them to the purposes of the Production. In any case, the parties agree that the Owner will remain the sole rights holder for the Recordings (without prejudice to SIAE);
c. make audio/video recordings of the Production;
d. make the Production and its audio/video recordings available by any means, including but not limited to publishing on websites and online stores;
e. produce, sell and rent physical and digital media containing the Production and/or its audio/video recordings.
f. transfer to third parties in any way, in whole or in part, the Production with the automatic transfer of the rights included in this agreement.

In the case that the download is made available only through paid download services, the Licensee will pay the cost of downloading for private and personal use.
In the case of winning cash prizes resulting from participation in competitions with the Production, the Licensee will make a donation to the Owner equal to at least 15% of the prize. In the case of use of music from various producers, the donation will be reduced proportionately to the time of the used Recordings compared to the total music time.
The Licensee authorizes the possible appearance of automatic advertisements on some online portals (e.g. Youtube) in case of publishing the Production or its audio/video recording (e.g. gameplay). Some of these portals prevent the distribution of advertising revenue (monetization) among the various contributors: the Licensee acknowledges this and waives to obtain any remuneration from these advertisements.
Copyright fees requested by SIAE may apply to some of the uses. The Owner renounces to other different future royalties for the production and performer rights regarding the uses inclued in this license.
