You may use the audio in projects distributed on DRM-protected or otherwise locked platforms, as long as the audio is embedded in the finished project and is not made available as a standalone file.
❌ What you CAN’T do
You may not:
- resell, reupload, redistribute, share, transfer, or repackage the audio as standalone files

Free vs. Subscriber Access
Free Sounds
Free sounds may be used in projects under this same License, unless a specific item states otherwise.
Attribution is not required, but appreciated.
Subscriber Sounds
Subscriber sounds may be used in your projects during an active subscription.
If a project using subscriber audio was lawfully created and published or delivered during your active subscription period, that completed project may remain online or continue to be used after your subscription ends.
However, once your subscription ends, you may not use previously downloaded audio in any new project, new client work, new campaign, new upload, newly launched media, or materially new production.

Attribution is not required.
