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.

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.

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.
