Our online license agreement provides a range of license options for both business and personal users. It is a Royalty-free Stock Music Licence that is Non-Exclusive and runs in perpetuity. The music needs to be synchronised with other media and must be an accompaniment, not the main feature. There are also important restrictions, such as: you cannot resell, make derivative works, claim it as your own, or redistribute it.
What does all this mean?
In short:
- Royalty-free music – Often misunderstood, but it simply means that once licensed, no more royalties are due. For more information, see Royalty Free Music Explained.
- Stock music – Pre-made music written by composers and producers offered in a library for use in media in return for a payment.
- Non-exclusive – Anyone else can license and use the same music.
- Perpetuity – Forever, no time limit.
- Any territory – This means that the music can be used anywhere in the world.
- Synchronised – The audio must be combined with a voice-over or images in a production, such as a video or an audio podcast. It cannot be used as a standalone musical piece.
- Must be an accompaniment – The music must be a supporting part of your video or audio podcast. It cannot be the main feature.
- Cannot resell – You cannot sell our music on its own or include it in any revenue-generating system, such as a content identification service (e.g., YouTube’s Content ID).
- No derivative works – You cannot make your own music with our music. For example, you cannot rap over it or add an instrument to make a new song.
- Cannot claim it as your own – You may not claim the music as your own. All ownership rights remain with us.
- No redistribution – You cannot give away, share, distribute, or otherwise make the music available to others, or upload it to any music library or platform.
So, who can use it?
Video producers, vloggers, podcasters, commercial drone pilots, wedding photographers, and videographers can use our music once it is licensed online via our website. It can also be used for on-hold music and as background music in shops.
We also offer licensing for specialised uses, such as physical products, advertising, and broadcast. For more details on these options, please see the links below.
Do I get a license agreement?
Yes, you do. You can see a copy of it here; however, this is provided for reference only. Your official Licence Agreement is a PDF link emailed to you on your invoice after your purchase. The invoice specifies the license option you selected, and the emailed invoice serves as your proof of purchase, confirming your Licence to use the music under the terms of the Agreement.
