Terms of service

Steps of Fire Last updated: July 16 2026

OVERVIEW

Welcome to Steps of Fire! The terms "we", "us" and "our" refer to Steps of Fire. Steps of Fire operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services in order to provide you, the customer, with a curated shopping experience (the "Services"). Steps of Fire is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.

The below terms and conditions, together with any policies referenced herein (these "Terms of Service" or "Terms") describe your rights and responsibilities when you use the Services.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully, as they include important information about your legal rights and cover areas such as warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.

By visiting, interacting with or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service or Privacy Policy, you should not use or access our Services.

SECTION 1 - ACCESS AND ACCOUNT

By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, and you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use the Services on devices you own, purchase or manage.

To use the Services, including accessing or browsing our online store or purchasing any of the products we offer, you may be asked to provide certain information, such as your email address and billing and payment information. You represent and warrant that all the information you provide in our store is correct, current and complete and that you have all rights necessary to provide this information.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all of your account activity. You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to any other person. Download links and access credentials are for your use only and may not be shared.

SECTION 2 - OUR PRODUCTS

We sell digital audio products, including sample packs, loop kits, and stems ("Products"). Products are delivered as digital downloads. Nothing physical is shipped.

We have made every effort to provide an accurate representation of our Products in our online store. Audio previews are provided to help you evaluate a Product before purchase, but previews are compressed, partial, and may not reflect the full quality, length, or contents of the Product. We do not warrant that any Product will meet your expectations, sound identical to a preview, or be compatible with your software or hardware.

All descriptions of Products are subject to change at any time without notice at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any Product at any time and may limit the quantities of any Products that we offer to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction, on a case-by-case basis.

SECTION 3 - LICENSE TO USE PRODUCTS

Each Product is sold under a separate license agreement included with the Product and available on the Product page (the "License"). Purchasing a Product does not transfer ownership of it to you. You receive the rights described in the License and nothing more.

You may use Products commercially only to the extent the License allows. Please read the License before purchasing.

If anything in these Terms conflicts with the License as to how you may use a Product, the License controls.

SECTION 4 - ORDERS

When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase. Steps of Fire reserves the right to accept or decline your order for any reason at its discretion. Your order is not accepted until Steps of Fire confirms acceptance. We must receive and process your payment before your order is accepted. Please review your order carefully before submitting, as Steps of Fire may be unable to accommodate cancellation requests after an order is accepted. In the event that we do not accept, make a change to, or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail or billing address provided at the time the order was made.

Your purchases are subject to our Refund Policy.

You represent and warrant that you are purchasing for your own use under the License, and not for the purpose of reselling, redistributing, or repackaging the Products themselves.

SECTION 5 - PRICES AND BILLING

Prices, discounts and promotions are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a Product will be the price in effect at the time the order is placed and will be set out in your order confirmation email. Unless otherwise expressly stated, posted prices do not include taxes.

We may offer, from time to time, promotions on the Services that may affect pricing and that are governed by terms and conditions separate from these Terms. If there is a conflict between the terms for a promotion and these Terms, the promotion terms will govern.

You agree to provide current, complete and accurate purchase, payment and account information for all purchases made at our store. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.

You represent and warrant that (i) the payment information you provide is true, correct, and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use the payment method for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your payment provider, and (iv) you will pay charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including all applicable taxes, if any.

SECTION 6 - DIGITAL DELIVERY AND ACCESS

Download access is provided at checkout and by email once payment clears. It is your responsibility to download and back up your files.

Download links may expire or be limited in number. If your link expires or fails, contact us and we will restore access for a legitimate purchase.

We do not guarantee that Products will remain available for re-download indefinitely, and we are not responsible for files lost after delivery. Keep your own copies.

SECTION 7 - REFUNDS

Because Products are digital and delivered immediately, all sales are final and we do not offer refunds or exchanges once a download has been accessed, except as set out in our Refund Policy or as required by law.

By completing your purchase, you request immediate access to the Product and acknowledge that, to the extent permitted by law, you waive any statutory right of withdrawal or cancellation that would otherwise apply once the download begins. Where your local consumer law grants rights that cannot be waived, those rights apply regardless of this section.

If a Product is faulty, corrupted, misdescribed, or you were charged in error, contact us and we will fix it, replace it, or refund it.

Initiating a chargeback instead of contacting us may result in your download access and account being suspended.

SECTION 8 - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Our Services, including but not limited to all trademarks, brands, text, displays, images, graphics, artwork, audio previews and demos, video, and audio, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof, are owned by Steps of Fire, its affiliates or licensors and are protected by U.S. and foreign copyright and other intellectual property laws.

These Terms permit you to use the Services for the purpose of browsing and purchasing only. You must not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any of the material on the Services without our prior written consent, except for Products you have purchased and only as the License permits. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing in these Terms grants or shall be construed as granting a license or other rights to you under any patent, trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property of Steps of Fire, Shopify or any third party. Unauthorized use of the Services may be a violation of federal and state intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by Steps of Fire.

Audio previews. Previews are provided solely so you can evaluate a Product before purchase. You may not download, rip, extract, record, capture, sample, edit, or use any preview in any beat, production, release, or other work. A preview is not a licensed Product and no rights of any kind are granted in it.

Artwork. Cover art and product images are not included with any purchase and are not licensed to you.

AI and machine learning. You may not use any part of the Services, including previews, Products, artwork, or text, as training, fine-tuning, retrieval, or input data for any artificial intelligence or machine learning system, or include it in any dataset compiled for such purposes. This applies to automated collection and to manual submission alike, and applies whether or not you have purchased anything.

Steps of Fire's name, logo, product names, designs, and slogans are our trademarks. You must not use them without our prior written permission. Shopify's name, logo, product and service names, designs and slogans are trademarks of Shopify. All other names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans on the Services are the trademarks of their respective owners.

SECTION 9 - OPTIONAL TOOLS

You may be provided with access to customer tools offered by third parties as part of the Services, which we neither monitor nor have any control nor input over.

You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to such tools "as is" and "as available" without any warranties, representations or conditions of any kind and without any endorsement. We shall have no liability whatsoever arising from or relating to your use of optional third-party tools.

Any use by you of the optional tools offered through the site is entirely at your own risk and discretion and you should ensure that you are familiar with and approve of the terms on which tools are provided by the relevant third-party provider(s).

We may also, in the future, offer new features through the Services. Such new features shall also be deemed part of the Services and are subject to these Terms of Service.

SECTION 10 - THIRD-PARTY LINKS

The Services may contain materials and hyperlinks to websites provided or operated by third parties (including any embedded third party functionality). We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy of any third-party materials or websites you choose to access. If you decide to leave the Services to access these materials or third party sites, you do so at your own risk.

We are not liable for any harm or damages related to your access of any third-party websites, or your purchase or use of any products, services, resources, or content on any third-party websites. Please review carefully the third-party's policies and practices and make sure you understand them before you engage in any transaction. Complaints, claims, concerns, or questions regarding third-party products and services should be directed to the third-party.

SECTION 11 - RELATIONSHIP WITH SHOPIFY

By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that Shopify is not responsible for any aspect of any sales between you and [Steps of Fire, including any injury, damage, or loss resulting from purchased products and services. You hereby expressly release Shopify and its affiliates from all claims, damages, and liabilities arising from or related to your purchases and transactions with Steps of Fire.

SECTION 12 - PRIVACY POLICY

All personal information we collect through the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy, and certain personal information may be subject to Shopify's Privacy Policy. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read these privacy policies.

SECTION 13 - FEEDBACK

If you submit, upload, post, email, or otherwise transmit any ideas, suggestions, feedback, reviews, proposals, plans, or other content (collectively, "Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute and display such Feedback in any medium for any purpose, including for commercial use.

You also represent and warrant that: (i) you own or have all necessary rights to all Feedback; (ii) you have disclosed any compensation or incentives received in connection with your submission of Feedback; and (iii) your Feedback will comply with these Terms. We are and shall be under no obligation (1) to maintain your Feedback in confidence; (2) to pay compensation for your Feedback; or (3) to respond to your Feedback.

We may, but have no obligation to, monitor, edit or remove Feedback that we determine in our sole discretion to be unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene or otherwise objectionable or that violates any party's intellectual property or these Terms of Service.

You agree that your Feedback will not violate any right of any third-party, including copyright, trademark, privacy, personality or other personal or proprietary right. You may not use a false email address, pretend to be someone other than yourself, or otherwise mislead us or third-parties as to the origin of any Feedback. You are solely responsible for any Feedback you make and its accuracy. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any Feedback posted by you or any third-party.

Occasionally there may be information on or in the Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions that may relate to product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, and availability.

SECTION 16 - AGENTS

16.1 This section ("Agent Terms") applies if you use, allow, enable, or cause the deployment of an Agent to access, use, or interact with any Services. "Agent" means any software or service that takes autonomous or semi-autonomous action on behalf of, or at the instruction of, any person or entity and that can be executed on behalf of or using a person's device, without direct supervision.

16.2 No Agent may access, use, or interact with the Services unless, at all times, it identifies itself and operates in strict accordance with the requirements in section 16.4 below. In addition, no Agent may access, use, or interact with the Services if we have requested that the Agent refrain from doing so.

16.3 We may limit, including by technical measures, whether and how any Agent accesses, uses, and interacts with the Services.

16.4 Agents must: (i) in all HTTP/HTTPS requests, identify that the request is from an Agent and disclose the name of the Agent by including the following in the request's user agent string: "Agent/[agent name]"; (ii) not conceal or obfuscate that any access, use, or interactions are from an Agent, such as by (a) mimicking human behavior and interaction patterns, or (b) completing or circumventing CAPTCHAs or measures intended to distinguish computer use from humans; (iii) respond truthfully to any question or prompt seeking to determine if interactions are coming from a human or a computer; (iv) not circumvent or otherwise avoid any measure intended to block, limit, modify, or control whether and how Agents access, use, or interact with the Services.

If you believe content on the Services infringes your copyright, contact us at the email address below with a description of the work, the location of the material on the Services, your contact details, and a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorized.

SECTION 18 - TERMINATION

We may terminate this agreement or your access to the Services (or any part thereof) in our sole discretion at any time without notice, and you will remain liable for all amounts due up to and including the date of termination.

Termination of your access to the Services does not by itself terminate the License for Products you have already purchased. Those Licenses continue according to their own terms.

The following sections will continue to apply following any termination: License to Use Products, Intellectual Property, Feedback, Termination, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Severability, Waiver; Entire Agreement, Assignment, Governing Law, Privacy Policy, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive termination.

SECTION 19 - DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

The information presented on or through the Services is made available solely for general information purposes. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of this information. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk. We disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such materials by you or any other visitor to the Services, or by anyone who may be informed of any of its contents.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED BY STEPS OF FIRE, THE SERVICES AND ALL PRODUCTS OFFERED THROUGH THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED 'AS IS' AND 'AS AVAILABLE' FOR YOUR USE, WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, MERCHANTABLE QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DURABILITY, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE, REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE. SOME JURISDICTIONS LIMIT OR DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED OR OTHER WARRANTIES SO THE ABOVE DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

SECTION 20 - LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, IN NO CASE SHALL STEPS OF FIRE, OUR PARTNERS, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS OR LICENSORS, OR THOSE OF SHOPIFY AND ITS AFFILIATES, BE LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY, LOSS, CLAIM, OR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST SAVINGS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROJECTS OR SESSIONS, REPLACEMENT COSTS, OR ANY SIMILAR DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF ANY OF THE SERVICES OR ANY PRODUCTS PROCURED USING THE SERVICES, OR FOR ANY OTHER CLAIM RELATED IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ANY PRODUCT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT, OR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF THE SERVICES OR ANY CONTENT (OR PRODUCT) POSTED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE VIA THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY.

SECTION 21 - INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Steps of Fire, Shopify, and our affiliates, partners, agents, contractors, licensors, and service providers from any losses, damages, liabilities or claims, including reasonable attorneys' fees, payable to any third party due to or arising out of (1) your breach of these Terms of Service or the documents they incorporate by reference, including the License, (2) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party, or (3) your access to and use of the Services.

We will notify you of any indemnifiable claim, provided that a failure to promptly notify will not relieve you of your obligations unless you are materially prejudiced. We may control the defense and settlement of such claim at your expense, including choice of counsel, but will not settle any claim requiring non-monetary obligations from you without your consent (not to be unreasonably withheld). You will cooperate in the defense of indemnified claims, including by providing relevant documents.

SECTION 22 - SEVERABILITY

In the event that any provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms of Service. Such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.

SECTION 23 - WAIVER; ENTIRE AGREEMENT

The failure of us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

These Terms of Service and any policies or operating rules posted by us on this site or in respect to the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us and govern your use of the Services, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms of Service). This does not supersede the License applicable to any Product you purchase.

Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms of Service shall not be construed against the drafting party.

SECTION 24 - ASSIGNMENT

You may not delegate, transfer or assign this Agreement or any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent, and any such attempt will be null and void. We may transfer, assign, or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations without consent or notice to you.

SECTION 25 - GOVERNING LAW

These Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby we provide you Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws applicable in the jurisdiction where Steps of Fire is based, and any dispute shall be brought in the federal and state or territorial courts of that jurisdiction. You and Steps of Fire consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in such courts. Nothing in this section removes any right you may have under mandatory local consumer law to bring proceedings where you live.

SECTION 26 - HEADINGS

The headings used in this agreement are included for convenience only and will not limit or otherwise affect these Terms.

SECTION 27 - CHANGES TO TERMS OF SERVICE

You can review the most current version of the Terms of Service at any time on this page.
