Extended: Designed for online advertising campaigns, paid apps, offline use, and medium-scale projects. When your reach grows beyond a million viewers.
Broadcast: For television, radio, cinema, or large-scale media campaigns. Professional productions that need broadcast-grade licensing.

You may edit the track for length, create loops, add fades, apply EQ and compression, mix with voiceover and sound effects, and create short or long versions suitable for your project. You may NOT rewrite melodies or harmonies, claim authorship of the composition, share individual stems or multitracks with third parties, or use the audio to train AI models or create AI-generated derivatives.
Strictly prohibited: Reselling or redistributing the track "as is" or as part of a music library; uploading to streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) under the Licensee's name; transferring the license to parties outside your production chain without written consent; using for political campaigns without explicit written permission; any use that violates applicable laws or platform terms of service.
Credit is not legally required but greatly appreciated. Suggested format: "Music by [Composer Name], [website URL]" in your video description, credits, or about section.
If your project requires cue sheets (TV, radio, cinema), please provide them with the following information: Composer [Name], PRO [Your PRO affiliation], Publisher [if applicable]. This does not affect or change your license fee; performance royalties are handled separately through PRO systems.
Our tracks may be registered in Content ID systems for copyright protection. If you receive a claim on YouTube or other platforms, email us your order number and video link. We'll whitelist your content within 24-48 hours. This is a normal part of protecting our catalog and doesn't indicate any problem with your license.
Default terms: Worldwide territory, perpetual duration, unlimited copies within the scope of your declared project. Broadcast and Exclusive licenses specify exact parameters including territory, duration, media channels, and reach limitations as agreed in writing.
Due to the nature of digital goods, all sales are final and non-refundable after file delivery. Exchanges may be considered within 7 days of purchase for mistaken orders, provided the content has not been released publicly or used in production. Contact us immediately if you believe you've purchased the wrong license type.
Prices are displayed on individual track pages and invoices. Applicable taxes, VAT, and payment processor fees are added at checkout based on your location. Exclusive licenses are custom-quoted based on your specific needs and negotiation.
License transfer to third parties is not permitted without written consent from the Rightsholder. Exception: Transfer within a single production chain (agency → production company → client) is allowed, provided all parties honor the license terms and limitations.
The Rightsholder warrants ownership of rights to the master recording and composition, or valid licenses from third-party contributors. The Rightsholder's total liability is limited to the license fee paid. For large commercial projects, additional insurance and indemnification can be negotiated.
For OTT platforms, global campaigns, exclusive arrangements, custom remixes, cover versions, or original custom scoring tailored to your project, please contact us at: [your@email.com]. We're happy to discuss unique requirements and create custom agreements.
