Refund Policy

Last Updated: April 6, 2026

At AmpEcho, we strive to ensure a seamless purchasing experience. However, because our products are digital audio files, strict guidelines apply to refunds.

1. Digital Downloads

Due to the irrevocable nature of digital goods, all sales of downloadable music tracks, albums, and digital assets are final and non-refundable once the transaction is complete and the download link has been generated or emailed to you.

2. Exceptions for Technical Issues

We will consider refund or replacement requests only under the following circumstances:

• Corrupt or Defective Files: If the audio file you downloaded is corrupted, unplayable, or materially defective, you must notify us within 7 days of purchase. We will first attempt to provide a replacement file. If we cannot resolve the issue, a refund will be issued.
• Duplicate Charges: If you were charged multiple times for the exact same track/album due to a technical error or payment gateway glitch.

3. How to Request a Review

If you believe you qualify for an exception under Section 2, please contact our support team at support@ampecho.com with the following details:

• Your AmpEcho Username / Email Address
• The Order ID or Transaction Receipt
• A detailed description of the issue (e.g., exact error message or proof of duplicate charge).

Our team will review your request and respond within 3-5 business days. Approved refunds will be credited back to the original payment method (e.g., your PayPal account) within 5-10 business days, depending on your financial institution.

Content Licensing Terms

Last Updated: April 6, 2026

When you purchase and download music from AmpEcho, you are purchasing a license to use the audio, not outright ownership of the copyright. The original artist retains all intellectual property rights.

1. Standard Personal Use License

Unless explicitly stated otherwise at the point of purchase, all tracks bought on AmpEcho are granted under a Standard Personal Use License. This license allows you to:

• Download the audio file to your personal devices (computer, smartphone, tablet).
• Play the audio file for your own personal, non-commercial entertainment.
• Include the track in personal playlists or burn it to a CD for personal, non-commercial use.

2. Strict Restrictions

Under the Standard Personal Use License, you expressly agree that you MAY NOT:

• Redistribute, resell, upload to file-sharing networks, or publicly broadcast the raw audio files.
• Use the track in commercial projects, including but not limited to: monetized YouTube videos, podcasts, films, video games, or broadcast television, without purchasing a specific "Commercial Sync License" directly from the artist.
• Sample, remix, reverse-engineer, or alter the tracks to create derivative musical works for public release without explicit, written permission from the original copyright holder.
• Use the track in any manner that falsely implies the artist endorses you, your brand, or your content.

3. Commercial and Sync Licensing

If you require a track for commercial use, background music for media, or sampling, you must contact the artist directly or utilize AmpEcho's specific licensing portals (if available for that artist) to negotiate and purchase the appropriate commercial rights.
