BLEASS – Terms of Use

Effective Date: 13 November 2025

A/ Introduction

Below is a legal agreement between you (“you” or “your”) and BLEASS, a French company with headquarters at 99 A Boulevard Constantin Descat, F-59200 Tourcoing, France (near Lille), registered in the Company Register of Lille under number 842 272 353 (“BLEASS”, “us”, “we”, or “our”). This agreement sets out the terms and conditions (“Terms”) for your use of our Software, including audio plugins, effects, digital musical instruments, mobile applications for iOS, sound banks, and demo versions (collectively, the “Software”), as well as any associated data, media, and services made available through or in connection with the Software on desktop (VST/AU/AAX) or iOS platforms.

By accessing, downloading, installing, or using the Software, you agree to these Terms, which will be legally binding on you. If you do not agree to the Terms, you must not download, install, or use the Software.

We license use of the Software to you on the basis of these Terms and subject to any applicable rules or policies from distribution platforms (e.g., Apple App Store for iOS, or plugin hosts like the “App Store Terms” or equivalent). You must also comply with such platform terms (as applicable from time to time). In case of any conflict between these Terms and platform terms, the platform terms shall take precedence. We remain the owners of the Software and all rights in it at all times.

If you have any comments, questions, or complaints relating to the Software, please contact us via https://www.bleass.com/bleass-support/.

B/ Your Music

The Software allows you to compose, record, and create musical works (“Music”) using internal sound engines, samples, presets, and tools. You are free to export, distribute, and use the Music you create in multiple file formats through channels of your choice, provided it does not infringe upon our or any third party’s intellectual property rights.

You are solely responsible for all your Music from the point of creation. To the extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability (including liability for copyright infringement) with respect to your Music.

Your Rights/Our Rights

You retain all ownership rights in Music that arises when you create it. You grant us an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable license to use, store, upload, modify, reproduce, display, and perform the Music, solely for the operation of the Software (or future software, applications, and services provided by BLEASS that are similar). We cannot be held liable if your Music is unintentionally disclosed (e.g., due to security incidents).

Original Creator

You confirm that you are the original composer of Music and any sound files you import into the Software, or that you have acquired sufficient rights from the original creator(s) to reproduce and use them in relation to the Software. You further confirm that such Music and sound files (including our use as contemplated by these Terms) do not violate these Terms, any third party agreement, applicable law, or the intellectual property rights of any third party. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any loss or damage we suffer as a result of your breach of this clause.

C/ Licenses Granted to You

We grant you a non-transferable, non-exclusive license to download, install, and use the Software on compatible devices for commercial and personal music production purposes, subject to these Terms, our Privacy Statement, and any applicable platform terms. This license applies to both iOS mobile applications and desktop plugins (VST, AU, AAX formats).

License to the Software

The license allows you to view, use, and display the Software on any number of compatible devices you own or control.

License to Sample Packs and Preset Packs

The Software includes programmed instrument presets and audio samples (“Samples and Presets”) that you may use to create Music. If you purchase a license or subscription, we grant you a non-transferable, non-exclusive license to all Samples and Presets Packs made available by us for as long as you maintain an active license. We grant a perpetual, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to any Samples and Presets provided free of charge. You may use the Samples and Presets solely for creating Music; you must not redistribute, sublicense, or make them available “as is.”

Our Rights and Third Party Rights

You acknowledge that all intellectual property rights in the Software anywhere in the world belong to us or our licensors. Rights in the Software are licensed (not sold) to you, and you have no rights in or to the Software other than the right to use it in accordance with these Terms. Sounds included for demonstrational purposes are licensed for your personal and domestic use only, unless explicitly granted additional rights by the relevant rights holder. You have no right to access the Software in source-code form.

D/ Digital Products – Sales & Refund Policy

All BLEASS digital products are strictly non-refundable under any circumstances once the purchase is completed and access is granted.

Pursuant to Article L221-28 of the French Consumer Code and EU Directive 2011/83/EU, the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal does not apply to digital content delivered immediately upon payment confirmation.

By clicking “Purchase” or completing any transaction, you expressly consent to immediate performance and waive your right of withdrawal in full compliance with applicable law.

  • Free demo versions are provided for full evaluation prior to purchase
  • No refunds will be issued for “changed mind,” compatibility concerns, or subjective dissatisfaction
  • Payment errors (e.g., duplicate charges) may be corrected within 7 days upon verified proof
  • Technical issues qualify for support only if a critical, reproducible bug prevents core functionality and is reported to and acknowledged by BLEASS support within 48 hours of purchase

E/ General

  • Collecting or harvesting any information or data from our systems or deciphering transmissions to/from our servers.

H/ No Warranties

  • Non-specific purpose: The Software has not been developed to meet your individual requirements; it is your responsibility to ensure its capabilities meet your needs.
  • Availability: The Software is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free use, or any content on it. Neither we nor distribution platforms have any obligation to provide maintenance or support.
  • Excluded warranties: To the extent permitted by law, we exclude all conditions, warranties, representations, or other terms that may apply to the Software, whether express or implied.

I/ Limitation of Liability

  • The Software is provided without express, implied, or statutory warranty of any kind, including for quality, ownership, non-infringement, function, availability, or fitness for a particular purpose.
  • We, our suppliers, or third parties will not be liable (to the fullest extent permitted by law) for personal injury or any losses or damages, including incidental, consequential, direct, or indirect damages, loss of business, or loss of data, arising from your use or inability to use the Software. Under no circumstances will we be liable for losses in commercial activities.

We (not the platforms) are solely responsible for the Software and its contents. Platforms have no warranty obligation; claims (e.g., product liability, non-conformance, consumer protection) must be directed to us via https://www.bleass.com/bleass-support/. We handle investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of intellectual property infringement claims.
