In these terms, "we", "us" and "our" mean Lightwork Learning Limited. "You" and "your" mean the person using this website or buying from us.

Contact: info@subskool.com

2. Acceptance of these terms

By using this website or buying from us you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

We may update these terms from time to time by posting a revised version here. Changes apply to purchases made after the revised version is posted. They do not retrospectively change the terms of an order you have already placed.

Our store is hosted by Shopify Inc., who provide the e-commerce platform.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or have the consent of a parent or guardian, to buy from us.

4. What we sell

We sell digital content: online courses, sample packs, presets, loops, vocals, MIDI files and similar audio and educational material. Everything is delivered electronically. Nothing is shipped physically.

5. Orders and payment

All prices are shown in GBP and include any applicable taxes. Lightwork Learning Limited is not currently registered for VAT.

A contract is formed when we confirm your order and provide access to the product. We may refuse or cancel an order — for example where a product has been mispriced, where we suspect fraud, or where an order appears to be placed by a reseller or distributor. If we cancel an order you have paid for, we will refund you in full.

Prices may change at any time, but changes will not affect orders already placed.

6. Delivery of digital content

Access is provided immediately after successful payment, by download link sent to the email address you give at checkout, or through your account page. If you have not received access within one hour, email info@subskool.com and we will resolve it.

You are responsible for giving us a correct email address and for downloading your files. We recommend backing them up; we cannot guarantee download links will remain available indefinitely.

7. Licence to use our sample packs and content

This section sets out what you may and may not do with our products. Please read it.

Subject to full payment, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use the audio content in our sample packs (samples, loops, one-shots, vocals, MIDI files and presets) as follows.

You may:

  • Use the content in your own original musical works, including commercial releases, and keep 100% of your royalties from those works.
  • Use it in music for film, television, games, advertising and other synchronisation uses.
  • Modify, edit, process, pitch, time-stretch and otherwise manipulate the content.
  • Use it in live performance and DJ sets.

You may not:

  • Resell, redistribute, share, licence, lend, upload or otherwise make available the raw content, in whole or in part, whether modified or not.
  • Include the content in any sample library, sample pack, preset pack, loop pack, construction kit or similar product, whether commercial or free.
  • Use the content as the sole or principal element of a release — your work must contain meaningful original musical contribution from you.
  • Register the content itself, or any substantially unmodified portion of it, with any content-ID, copyright, royalty collection or fingerprinting service (including but not limited to YouTube Content ID) in a way that would prevent other licensees from using it.
  • Claim ownership of, or exclusive rights in, the content itself.
  • Use the content in any way that is unlawful, or in material that is defamatory, discriminatory, or that infringes anyone else's rights.

We retain all ownership of and intellectual property rights in the content. The licence is personal to you and cannot be transferred, including as part of a sale of your business, without our written consent.

The licence terminates automatically if you breach these terms or if you receive a refund for the product. On termination you must stop using the content and delete your copies, though this does not require you to withdraw releases already lawfully published before termination.

8. Courses and educational content

Course videos, written materials, project files and other educational content are for your personal use only. You may not record, copy, share, resell, publicly perform or redistribute them, or use them to deliver your own teaching or training.

Course accounts are personal. Sharing your login is a breach of these terms and may result in your access being suspended.

9. Acceptable use

You must not:

  • Use the site or our products for any unlawful purpose, or to breach anyone else's rights.
  • Upload or transmit viruses, malware or other harmful code.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, our systems, or another user's account.
  • Scrape, crawl, spider or harvest data from the site.
  • Harass, abuse, threaten or defame any person through the site.
  • Interfere with or circumvent the site's security features.

We may suspend or terminate your access for breach of this section.

10. Your submissions

If you send us ideas, suggestions, reviews or other material, you agree we may use, edit, publish and distribute it without restriction and without payment to you. You confirm that anything you send does not infringe anyone else's rights and is not unlawful, abusive or obscene. We are not obliged to keep submissions confidential or to respond to them.

We may remove any content posted on the site at our discretion.

11. Accuracy of information

We take care over the information on this site but do not warrant that it is always complete, accurate or current. Content is provided for general information and should not be your sole basis for decisions.

We may correct errors, including in pricing and product descriptions, and may cancel affected orders, refunding you in full.

12. Third-party links and tools

The site may link to or provide access to third-party websites and tools. We do not control them, do not endorse them, and are not responsible for their content, accuracy or practices. Your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their own terms.

13. Availability

We aim to keep the site available but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. We may suspend, withdraw or restrict the site or any part of it without notice.

14. Our liability

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for:

  • death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
  • fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
  • any matter for which it would be unlawful to limit or exclude liability, including your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

If you are a consumer: we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these terms or our failure to use reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for unforeseeable loss or damage. We do not exclude our liability under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 for digital content that is faulty, not as described, or not fit for purpose, nor for damage caused to your device or other digital content by our content where we have not used reasonable care and skill.

If you are a business: we exclude all implied warranties to the fullest extent permitted by law. We are not liable for loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill, anticipated savings, data or any indirect or consequential loss. Our total liability arising out of or in connection with any product is limited to the amount you paid for that product.

15. Indemnity

If you are a business user, you agree to indemnify us against any claim, demand, loss or reasonable legal costs arising from your breach of these terms, your misuse of our content, or your breach of any law or third-party right.

16. Privacy

Your personal information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

17. Termination

Either of us may end this agreement at any time. You may do so by ceasing to use the site. We may do so, and may withdraw your access, if you breach these terms.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including the licence restrictions in section 7, liability, and governing law — continue to apply.

18. General

If any provision of these terms is found unlawful or unenforceable, the rest remain in force.

Our failure to enforce a right does not waive it.

These terms, together with our Refund Policy, Privacy Policy and Legal Notice, form the entire agreement between us.

19. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the UK, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of your home nation. If you are a consumer resident in the EU, nothing here deprives you of the protection of mandatory consumer law in your country of residence.
