# THE VAULT+ LIBERATED ## Terms of Use & Licence Agreement **Effective Date:** 22 September 2026 **Last Updated:** 22 September 2026 **Rights Holder / Licensor:** Sir Dominic Scott **Project:** The Vault+ / The Vault+ Liberated ### IMPORTANT The Vault+ Liberated is a non-commercial release of the complete and total archive of The Vault+, including miscellaneous and unreleased files, for personal preservation, personal use, study, archival purposes, and non-commercial sharing subject to these Terms. **Downloading, accessing, possessing, modifying, uploading, sharing, or otherwise using material released under The Vault+ Liberated constitutes acceptance of these Terms.** If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use or redistribute the Liberated materials. --- # 1. Definitions For these Terms: **“The Vault+”** means the original project, service, website, collection, works, materials, branding and associated intellectual property operated or created by the Rights Holder. **“The Vault+ Liberated”** means the materials specifically released by the Rights Holder under this licence following the closure or liberation of The Vault+. **“Materials”** means any files, recordings, scripts, text, images, videos, audio, soundscapes, trigger sounds, conceptual works, documentation, metadata, artwork, publications, or other material expressly made available as part of The Vault+ Liberated. **“Derivative Work”** means a work based upon, incorporating, adapting, translating, editing, modifying, rerecording, reinterpreting, transforming, or otherwise materially derived from a Material. **“Non-Commercial Use”** means use that does not directly or indirectly generate money, revenue, payment, subscription income, tips, donations tied to the use, advertising revenue, sponsorship revenue, commercial advantage, or other monetary or monetisable benefit. **“Commercial Use”** includes, without limitation, using Materials in connection with a business, paid service, subscription, monetised account, advertisement, sponsored content, paid production, commissioned work, commercial publication, or revenue-generating platform. **“Rights Holder”** means the person or entity identified above and any rights that person or entity lawfully owns or controls. --- # 2. Nature of the Liberation The Rights Holder is making the specified Materials available so that users can preserve, access, enjoy, study, and use those Materials after The Vault+ closes. This release does **not** constitute a sale or transfer of ownership of the underlying intellectual property. Unless expressly stated otherwise, all rights not specifically granted by these Terms are reserved. The fact that a Material can be downloaded does not mean that ownership of that Material has been transferred to the downloader. --- # 3. Permission to Download Subject to these Terms, you may: * Download Materials made available through The Vault+ Liberated. * Keep local copies. * Make reasonable backup copies. * Store copies on personal storage devices. * Store copies in personal archival systems. * Organise and catalogue the Materials. * Access the Materials privately after The Vault+ has closed. You are responsible for maintaining your own copies. The Rights Holder does not guarantee continued availability of the website, download infrastructure, hosting, files, links, accounts, or any particular format. --- # 4. Non-Commercial Modification Subject to the restrictions in these Terms, you may modify Materials for **personal, private and non-commercial purposes**. Permitted examples may include: * Editing a file for personal use. * Reorganising files. * Creating personal compilations. * Making technical format conversions. * Creating accessibility versions. * Making personal archival copies. * Making non-commercial modifications for personal experimentation or study. Modification does not transfer ownership of the underlying Material to you. You may not use a modification as a mechanism for obtaining money or other commercial advantage. --- # 5. Non-Commercial Sharing of Modified Works You may share or upload modified versions of Materials provided that: 1. The upload is genuinely non-commercial. 2. No payment is required to access it. 3. It is not placed behind a subscription, paywall, tip requirement, paid membership, or monetisation system. 4. The uploader does not receive advertising or platform revenue attributable to the Material. 5. The uploader does not present the Material as their own original intellectual property. 6. The applicable copyright, ownership, attribution and rights notices are retained where reasonably possible. 7. The upload does not violate any other provision of these Terms. 8. The upload does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, authorship, or affiliation with the Rights Holder. A platform's general monetisation system does not automatically make every upload commercial; however, where the Material itself contributes to revenue generation, commercial advantage, subscriber acquisition, paid engagement, or other monetisation, it falls outside this licence. --- # 6. No Commercial Exploitation **The Materials may not be used for commercial purposes without separate written permission from the Rights Holder.** This restriction applies whether the commercial benefit is direct or indirect. Without limitation, you may not: * Sell Materials. * Sell modified versions. * Sell access to Materials. * Put Materials behind a paywall. * Include Materials in paid memberships. * Include Materials in paid subscriptions. * Use Materials in commissioned productions. * Use Materials in paid performances or productions. * Use Materials to promote a commercial service. * Use Materials to generate advertising revenue. * Use Materials in sponsored content. * License Materials to another party for money. * Bundle Materials into a product that is sold. * Use Materials as part of a commercial service. * Use Materials to acquire paying customers. --- # 7. Paid Adult Content and Subscription Platforms Without limiting the general prohibition on commercial use, Materials may **not** be incorporated into paid or monetised adult content or services. This includes, without limitation: * OnlyFans or equivalent paid content; * Fan-subscription services; * Paid video or audio services; * Paid custom recordings; * Paid commissions; * Monetised adult websites; * Pay-per-view material; * Subscription libraries; * Commercial fetish or adult productions; * Paid messaging or personalised content; * Commercial advertising or promotional material. This prohibition applies even where the Material itself is provided for free but is incorporated into, used to produce, promote, or enhance a paid work or service. --- # 8. No Commercial Rerecording or Reinterpretation You may not commercially rerecord, reproduce, reinterpret, adapt, perform, reconstruct, or recreate any Material. This includes, without limitation: * Scripts; * Written concepts; * Audio works; * Soundscapes; * Trigger recordings; * Trigger sequences; * Binaural works; * Hypnotic recordings; * Spoken-word material; * Conceptual works; * Performance structures; * Original sequences or combinations; * Distinctive creative techniques embodied in the Materials. Creating a new recording does not avoid this restriction merely because the original file was not directly copied. A new recording, performance, adaptation, or reinterpretation that is substantially based upon protected Material remains subject to the Rights Holder's rights. --- # 9. Proprietary Soundscapes, Trigger Sounds and Conceptual Works Certain elements of The Vault+ are specifically reserved intellectual property of the Rights Holder. These include, without limitation: * Original soundscapes; * Binaural soundscapes; * Trigger sounds; * Trigger sequences; * Original audio concepts; * Original scriptwriting concepts; * Original written structures; * Distinctive combinations of sounds, language and concepts; * Original production techniques and arrangements; * Associated names, branding and identifiers. This includes works identified as, among other things: **“Sir's Binaural Soundscapes©”** and any associated names, marks, logos, branding or identifiers owned or controlled by the Rights Holder. Nothing in The Vault+ Liberated grants ownership of these rights to a downloader. Where applicable, copyright, trademark, trade-name, passing-off, unfair-competition, database, design, neighbouring-rights and other applicable rights remain reserved. --- # 10. Trademarks and Branding No trademark or branding licence is granted except where these Terms expressly state otherwise. You may not: * Register a confusingly similar trademark. * Claim ownership of The Vault+ branding. * Use branding in a manner suggesting official affiliation. * Represent yourself as the Rights Holder. * Present an unofficial derivative as an official release. * Use The Vault+ name or associated marks to endorse a commercial product or service. The existence of a copy, archive, derivative or mirror does not make that copy an official continuation of The Vault+. --- # 11. Attribution and Rights Notices Where Materials are redistributed, reasonable attribution should be retained. Do not deliberately remove: * Copyright notices; * Trademark notices; * Ownership notices; * Licence information; * Embedded attribution; * Metadata identifying the Rights Holder. If technical conversion makes preservation of embedded metadata impossible, the associated textual attribution or licence information should be retained where reasonably practicable. --- # 12. No Impersonation or Misrepresentation You may not represent that: * You created an original Material when you did not; * You own intellectual-property rights belonging to the Rights Holder; * A derivative work is an official The Vault+ release; * The Rights Holder endorses your work; * You are affiliated with or authorised by The Vault+; * The Vault+ has authorised a commercial use when it has not. --- # 13. Hypnosis and Hypnotic Material The Vault+ may contain hypnotic, suggestive, psychological, relaxation, trance-oriented, or otherwise altered-state material. Such Materials are provided **without medical, psychological, therapeutic, or safety guarantees**. Use of hypnotic or trance-oriented Materials is undertaken at the user's own risk. The Rights Holder does not provide medical or psychological advice through these Materials and does not represent that they are appropriate for any particular individual. Users are responsible for deciding whether they should engage with such Materials. You should not use hypnotic or suggestive Materials while: * Driving; * Operating machinery; * Performing safety-critical activities; * Performing activities requiring full attention; * In circumstances where loss of attention could cause harm. --- # 14. Consent and Use on Other People Hypnotic, suggestive, sexual, psychological, or altered-state Materials must not be deliberately used on another person without that person's informed and voluntary consent. You must not use the Materials to: * Hypnotise another person against their will; * Induce a trance state without appropriate consent; * Manipulate another person's behaviour without their consent; * Circumvent another person's refusal; * Intentionally impair another person's ability to make decisions; * Use the Materials as a means of coercion, abuse, intimidation, or exploitation. Consent must be genuine and may be withdrawn. Nothing in this licence authorises conduct that violates applicable law. --- # 15. Minors and Vulnerable Persons The Materials must not be used to sexually exploit, abuse, manipulate, or otherwise harm minors. Do not use Materials in circumstances involving a person who cannot provide meaningful informed consent. Nothing in this agreement grants permission to engage in conduct prohibited by applicable child-safety, safeguarding, sexual-offence, exploitation, privacy, or other laws. --- # 16. Privacy and Personal Information Where Materials contain personal information, identifying information, private communications, or information concerning identifiable individuals, users must handle that information responsibly and in accordance with applicable law. The licence to download a Material does not automatically constitute permission to publish another person's private information. Users must not use the collection as a means of harassment, stalking, doxxing, intimidation, or targeted abuse. --- # 17. No Circumvention of Technical or Legal Restrictions Nothing in these Terms grants permission to: * Bypass security measures; * Access accounts belonging to another person; * Obtain material that is not part of The Vault+ Liberated; * Circumvent access controls; * Exploit vulnerabilities; * Obtain private information; * Interfere with the website or its infrastructure. The liberation of the archive does not constitute permission to obtain material that is not part of it, such as other people's data or restricted systems. --- # 18. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Unless expressly authorised in writing by the Rights Holder, Materials may not be: * Used to train a commercial AI model; * Added to a commercial machine-learning dataset; * Used to fine-tune a commercial generative model; * Used as commercial AI training data; * Used to create a commercial synthetic replica of the Rights Holder's work. Non-commercial personal experimentation may still be subject to the other restrictions in these Terms and does not grant ownership of the source Materials. Nothing in this clause purports to restrict rights that cannot lawfully be restricted. --- # 19. No Re-Licensing You may not take Materials released under The Vault+ Liberated and issue them under a licence that grants third parties rights broader than the rights granted by these Terms. You may share the Materials under the same applicable terms, but you may not represent that you have authority to grant ownership or unrestricted commercial rights. --- # 20. No Sale of “Access” Calling something an “archive,” “membership,” “donation,” “tip,” “support payment,” “processing fee,” “hosting fee,” or similar term does not automatically make an otherwise commercial distribution non-commercial. The substance of the transaction matters. If payment is required to obtain or access the Materials, the distribution is outside this licence unless separately authorised in writing. --- # 21. Third-Party Rights Some Materials may contain elements owned by third parties. The Rights Holder does not grant rights that the Rights Holder does not legally possess. Where a Material contains third-party intellectual property, users remain responsible for complying with applicable third-party rights. Nothing in these Terms should be interpreted as a representation that every element of every Material is exclusively owned by the Rights Holder. --- # 22. Copyright and Ownership Except for rights expressly granted by these Terms, all applicable intellectual-property rights remain with their respective owners. Downloading a file does not transfer copyright ownership. Modification does not transfer copyright ownership. Uploading a copy does not transfer copyright ownership. Possession of a file does not constitute ownership of the intellectual property embodied within it. --- # 23. User-Created Derivative Works Where you create a lawful non-commercial derivative work, you retain whatever rights you independently possess in your genuinely original contributions, subject to the rights belonging to the Rights Holder and any third parties. You do not acquire ownership of the pre-existing The Vault+ material merely by modifying it. You may not use your derivative work to claim ownership over the underlying Material. --- # 24. No Endorsement Non-commercial redistribution is not an endorsement by the Rights Holder of: * The uploader; * Their website; * Their opinions; * Their other content; * Their political, commercial, personal, religious, sexual, or other views; * Any derivative work they produce. --- # 25. Availability and Preservation The Rights Holder makes no guarantee that: * The website will remain online; * Download links will remain available; * Files will remain hosted indefinitely; * Any particular file format will remain supported; * Third-party storage providers will remain available; * A particular cloud provider will retain a user's files; * Users will retain access to their accounts; * Any particular service will continue operating. Users are responsible for making their own backups. The purpose of the Liberated release is to facilitate preservation, not to guarantee perpetual online hosting. --- # 26. User Responsibility for Backups Users are strongly encouraged to maintain multiple copies of important downloaded Materials. A sensible preservation strategy may include: * A primary local copy; * A separate backup; * An optional off-site or cloud copy. Users should periodically verify that backups remain readable and accessible. The Rights Holder is not responsible for loss caused by: * Drive failure; * Accidental deletion; * Corruption; * Lost passwords; * Lost encryption keys; * Account closure; * Cloud-provider failure; * Hardware theft; * Fire, flood, or other physical damage; * User error. --- # 27. No Warranty To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Materials are provided **“as is” and “as available.”** No warranty is given regarding: * Accuracy; * Completeness; * Availability; * Fitness for a particular purpose; * Compatibility; * Security; * Freedom from errors; * Continued availability; * Suitability for a particular use. Nothing in these Terms excludes a statutory right or protection that cannot legally be excluded. --- # 28. Limitation of Liability To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Rights Holder shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from use, possession, modification, redistribution, or inability to access the Materials. This includes, where legally permissible, loss of: * Data; * Revenue; * Business; * Equipment; * Accounts; * Access; * Profits; * Opportunities. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited. --- # 29. User Indemnification To the extent permitted by applicable law, a person who violates these Terms and causes a claim, loss, damage, liability, or expense to the Rights Holder may be responsible for resulting losses and reasonable legal costs. This provision does not remove any rights or remedies available under applicable law. --- # 30. Enforcement The Rights Holder reserves the right to enforce these Terms and applicable intellectual-property rights. Where a distribution violates these Terms, the Rights Holder may request: * Removal of the material; * Cessation of the prohibited use; * Correction of misleading attribution; * Removal of commercial exploitation; * Removal of unauthorised branding; * Destruction or deletion of unauthorised copies where legally appropriate. Nothing in this section limits any statutory or common-law remedy available to the Rights Holder. --- # 31. Termination of Licence If you materially breach these Terms, the permissions granted to you under this licence may terminate automatically to the extent permitted by applicable law. Following termination, you must cease the activity that violated these Terms and, where legally required, remove unauthorised public or commercial distributions. Termination does not prevent the Rights Holder from pursuing remedies for prior infringement or breach. --- # 32. Severability If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision shall be interpreted or limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in effect to the extent permitted by law. --- # 33. No Waiver Failure by the Rights Holder to enforce a provision on one occasion does not constitute a permanent waiver of that provision or prevent enforcement on another occasion. --- # 34. Changes to These Terms The Rights Holder may update these Terms for future releases, corrections, clarification, or legal compliance. Unless expressly stated otherwise, a change to these Terms does not retroactively grant or remove rights already granted for a particular Material. --- # 35. Governing Law and Jurisdiction These Terms shall be governed by the laws of: **Scotland, United Kingdom** The courts of: **Glasgow, Scotland** shall have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer or other legal protections that apply. --- # 36. Entire Agreement These Terms constitute the agreement governing the use of Materials released as part of The Vault+ Liberated, except where a particular Material is accompanied by additional written terms. Where additional terms apply to a specific Material, those terms should be clearly identified. --- # 37.
