Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features which may be added to the Website or the Services, including without limitation, the release of new Bowser & Blue services and software, are subject to these Terms of Use.

In some instances, these Terms of Use and a separate end user licence or similar agreement may apply to a service or product offered by Bowser & Blue via the Properties. We may add, change, remove, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the Website and/or the Services at any time without notice. We may also impose limits on certain features and/or restrict access to parts of or all of the Properties without notice or liability to you or any third party.

In order to use the Website, you must obtain access to the Internet, either directly or through devices that access web-based content, and pay any service fees or licensing associated with such access. In addition, you must provide all equipment necessary to make such connection to the Internet, including a computer and modem or other access device.

3. Intellectual Property Ownership; Licence

As stated in our EULA:

You are purchasing a single user license to Bowser & Blue Products, Virtual Instrument software and audio files. The rights associated with this license are available to you only. The license is nontransferable, which means you cannot sell or give another individual or entity the right to use the software. Unauthorized resale of Bowser & Blue audio products is prohibited. You may not sell, lend, or giveaway, any of the licensed audio files, in whole, part, to third parties. Licenses to companies or entities, such as corporations, partnerships, and trusts, are available under separate terms and conditions. Please contact Bowser & Blue for details.
