use of the Services; (2) breach of these Legal Terms; (3) any breach of your
representations and warranties set forth in these Legal Terms; (4) your violation of
the rights of a third party, including but not limited to intellectual property rights; or (5)

The information provided when using the Services is not intended for distribution to

registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those
persons who choose to access the Services from other locations do so on their own
initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent
local laws are applicable.
The Services are not tailored to comply with industry-specific regulations (Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Federal Information Security
Management Act (FISMA), etc.), so if your interactions would be subjected to such
laws, you may not use the Services. You may not use the Services in a way that
would violate the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).

COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

If you are browsing the Beat Machine website or have watch one of the many demos
by Beat Machine on YouTube, you have something good in common with us. We
both love the same great music. Steve Franklin initially produced the VSTs for his
own music production but felt compelled to share his sound library with similar
producers. This benefits everyone. All we ask at Beat Machine is that you as a
customer & friend to Beat Machine, respects the basic principles. In return for
supporting Beat Machine, we aim to respond to every email within 24 hours. All
emails MUST be courteous. Treat us with respect and we shall return that respect ten
fold. This also goes for comments left on the YouTube channel. Enjoy your music and
more so, enjoy making it.
Beat Machine.
