The customer selects and uses files and content according to the specifications that are part of every product description.

Outer Fields shall, therefore, accept no liability for incorrect usage of files and content.

Files and content made available by Outer Fields serve as a recommendation only. They do not, in any case, constitute a substitute for the specialist qualifications the customer requires in order to work with the files and content provided. The customer shall, therefore, take legal and other specialist advice prior to using files and content if required. If the customer neglects to do so and damage occurs, as a result, Outer Fields shall again be excluded from liability for those damages.

 

THIRD PARTY OFFERS/LINKS

In some cases, Outer Fields may provide the customer with links to third-party websites and/or partner offers.

Links to other websites shall be provided solely for the convenience of portal users. Users who connect to third-party websites shall do so at their own risk.

Royalty-free & License-Free applies to all recordings that Outer Fields recorded & may not contain third party sounds that might appear in the background of some recordings. Make sure if you download sounds that contain third party sound effects that you use them at your own risk.
