Terms of Use and Privacy Policy

By using and reading fabiandosrios-art.com, you indicate that you accept the terms of use listed below and that you agree to abide by them.

USAGE

  1. The materials contained on fabiandosrios-art.com are provided “as is” for general information purposes only and do not claim to be or constitute legal or other professional advice. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability for loss or damages direct or indirect arising from use of this site.

  2. All images appearing on fabiandosrios-art.com are the exclusive property of dos Rios and protected under international copyright laws. The images on this site may not be reproduced, modified, copied, transmitted or manipulated without the written permission of Fabián dos Rios, except as permitted under the doctrine of fair use.

  3. Fabián dos Rios (hereinafter “dos Rios”) is the owner of all intellectual property and materials published rights throughout the site. These works are protected by copyright laws and treaties around the world. All such rights are reserved.

  4. If your project (any project at all, movie, photography, websites, live shows etc.) is non-commercial, which means it doesn't earn you any money, then you can use the music for free. Only given credits are necessary, that's the only condition. Credits would be totally fine as a small text in the movie, website, etc. written "Music by Fabián dos Rios". In live shows and other projects where including a text would be difficult, an oral mention would suffice. ANY school projects have automatic free permission to use my music, no license payment is required.

  5. If the project is commercial, meaning it makes money in any way (including YouTube and twitch), you would have to buy a license for the music you want to use. The license payment would be small in almost all cases except for big budget productions. It would be a one-time payment, so you can use the music you bought forever in that project. It does not give you any rights over the music however, so remixing the music, re-selling it, etc. is not allowed. Giving credits is also necessary in commercial projects. Please note that "for free" only applies to the usage license.

  6. Music & Art is my job and is where my earnings come from. So no mater what you use my music for, whether it's commercial or non-commercial use, I appreciate that you purchase the music instead of downloading it for free. Many people misunderstand this part so I need to clear this up. I love making music, but if everyone would just get it for free I would not be able to pay rent, so please understand.

  7. Important: I do not allow my music to be used in any project that has a clear political, racist or discriminatory message or is pornographic. By that I mean anything that goes from direct political, racist or discriminatory videos or underlining speeches with my music, onto remixing my melodies into a song that has lyrics with clear political, racist or discriminatory message and similar things that clearly promote these things. Same goes for explicit pornography. Media with nude art is allowed, if not pornographic in nature and purpose.
