What you can do with the music.

When you buy a song here, you get a license to use it the ways listed below. You don't own the song itself. Christopher Thompkins keeps the copyright in the music, the recording and the lyrics.

You can

Listen to it on any device you own, as often as you like, and keep backup copies for yourself.
Play it in your DJ sets: live, streamed or recorded mixes, including mixes you post online. A credit to “Chris Thompkins” is appreciated.
Give it as a gift with a gift card from this site. The person you give it to gets the same rights you would have.

You can't

Share, upload, resell or give away the files themselves, or post the song on its own as an audio or video upload.
Use the song in a video, podcast, ad, film, game or any other project without a separate license. This includes social media content made to promote a business.
Sample, remix or rework the song for release.
Register the song with YouTube Content ID or any other fingerprinting or rights-claiming service, or claim it as your own.
Use the song to train or build an AI model.

Want a song in a video or a project? Ask about a license. Custom music can also be made for your project.

Posting DJ sets online

Songs sold only on this site are not registered with YouTube Content ID. A few songs are also on streaming services and are marked Streaming on the site. If a set you upload includes one of them, YouTube may show a copyright claim that sends ad revenue to the artist. Your video stays up, and it isn't a strike against your channel. To have your channel cleared, email your channel link to inquiries@christhompkins.com.

Clubs, bars and other venues that play music in public are responsible for their own public performance licenses. Chris Thompkins is affiliated with ASCAP.

Downloads

You own your copy. Every song is a DRM-free 320k MP3 that's yours to keep on any device, with no account, app or connection needed, and it never expires. The song's copyright stays with Christopher Thompkins, and your copy comes with the personal-use rights described above.

Your download link is emailed right after checkout. It doesn't expire and works for 5 downloads, enough for your phone, your computer and a backup. Keep a copy of your files. If you run out of downloads or a file won't play, email us with your order number and we'll send a fresh link. Your purchase never expires.

No returns on digital downloads

All sales of digital downloads are final. Files are delivered the moment you check out and can't be returned, so we don't offer returns, exchanges or refunds. That's why every song has a full minute to preview first. Please listen before you buy.

We'll make it right in these cases:

A file is damaged, incomplete or won't play: we'll send a working file.
You received the wrong song: we'll send the right one.
You were charged twice for the same order: we'll refund the duplicate.

Email inquiries@christhompkins.com with your order number within 30 days.

Gift cards

Gift cards are store credit for this site. They aren't refundable and can't be exchanged for cash. If the recipient's state charges sales tax on digital music, a small amount may be due at checkout.

How this music is made

Every song here is Human-AI Crafted. Christopher Thompkins writes, shapes and finishes each one, and AI tools are part of how it's produced. He doesn't hide that. It's how the work gets made, and he's proud of it.

Each song's origin and the human work behind it are documented, from first idea to final master.

Privacy

What this site measures. We use Google Analytics to see how the site is used: which pages are visited, which previews are played, and when songs or gift cards are added to the cart. It uses cookies and gives us totals, not your name or email. A banner on your first visit lets you accept or decline these cookies, and you can change your choice anytime with Consent Preferences at the bottom of the page. You can also use Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on or block cookies in your browser.

Orders and payments. Checkout is handled by Ecwid (Lightspeed) and its payment processors. We receive your name, email and what you bought so we can deliver your downloads and help with orders. We never see or store your card number.

Email. If you join a list, your email is kept with MailerLite and used only for the updates you signed up for. Every email has an unsubscribe link.

We don't sell your information or share it with anyone for advertising. To see, correct or delete what we have about you, email inquiries@christhompkins.com.
