Freesound Forums

I am currently building a website for a company and want to use sound clips from The free sound project. I have read the terms and conditions I can't work out if this is allowed. Can anyone help?

Yes. Provided you give credit somewhere, ie sounds provided by .... (this is made easier for you on the sounds I downloaded page)

To wit -
You are free -

To sample, mash-up, or otherwise creatively transform this work for commercial or non-commercial purposes.

(This allows you to integrate the sound with your website, mess about with the sound and change/edit it.)

To perform, display, and distribute copies of this whole work for non-commercial purposes (e.g., file-sharing or non-commercial webcasting).

(doesn't apply to your instance as we assume the sounds are part of a larger narrative unless your website is really strange. We assume you aren't simply playing just the sounds and have no other content, or making them available to d/l and selling the sound d/l, which is prohibited by this clause)

Under the following conditions:
You must give the original author credit.

details of which can be had on the 'sounds I downloaded' page. Obviously only credit the ones you actually used. There is no share-alike section so you don't have to share out your website.

Obviously IANAL but the cc guys have worked hard to make this as human-readable as possible.

Enjoy

The advertising clause of Sampling+ is a bit hairy, but this is probably okay.

Just make sure that on the "About Us" or "Credits" page (or subpage or something), list the sound authors and the samples you used.

If this is a problem, you can also contact each author individually to ask permission to use the sample without crediting them.
