Do you guarantee that I won't get sued if use your library?

Ha! No, we can’t legally make that guarantee. 

Don’t get me wrong, the patterns are all created by us, and to the best of our knowledge, do not match any existing songs.  

However, there are literally millions of songs out there, so it is always possible that certain elements may match.

This should not be a problem, so long as no resemblances are intentional.  

If you are choosing patterns that sound like a song you wish to emulate, you are in risky territory, since you are introducing “intentional” into the equation.

There have been a number of lawsuits in the last few years where melodies or beats may not have been exact matches, but “intent” was there to emulate an existing song and the plaintiffs prevailed.  (Hint:  Don’t say to the press, “We always loved Artist X and wanted to make a song that was like Y.”)

For this reason, we do NOT warrant that any of our patterns are "safe.”  Use these at your own risk.  Again, we did not copy anything, and we believe they are all 100% original, but songwriting lawsuits are crazy nowadays, so we can not guarantee that any given combination won’t closely match someone else’s song.  In the same way that we do not ask for copyright credit if you use our patterns, we also do not accept legal responsibility for them.
