Stock Music Site - Content License Agreement

GENERAL TERMS
All audio tracks, packs or albums (hereafter the "Track" or "Tracks") licensed herein come with an unlimited license for use in Licensee's commercial and/or personal projects, within all media, in perpetuity, throughout the world and Universe. Licensor shall at all times retain all copyrights and intellectual property rights with regard to the marketing, sales and sub-licensing of the Tracks herein and any infringement by Licensee thereof shall become an actionable violation of this license. The licensed rights granted herein are conveyed to Licensee strictly on a non-exclusive basis.

Licensee does not have to pay any royalties for use of the Tracks licensed herein within any media, in perpetuity, throughout the world and Universe.  Licensee pays once for the Tracks licensed herein and can then use licensed Tracks within their own internal projects or productions forever.

All Tracks licensed herein are owned by or licensed to Licensor from various publishers and content providers around the world and Licensor is fully authorized to sub-license Tracks to sub-licensees under the terms of this License, including the sound recording and, for music Tracks, the underlying music composition(s).

RIGHTS GRANTED
For all Tracks licensed herein, Licensee may use the Tracks on a non-exclusive basis during lifetime of Licensee within various different internal commercial and personal works, projects and productions as desired.  Licensee may broadcast the Tracks as part of Licensee's production over any public or private network or transmission system throughout the world in perpetuity.

Licensee may embed Tracks into a product or production (hereafter "Production") and, if so desired, transfer, lease, license or otherwise assign the Production to any third party without restriction. At all times Licensee shall own the copyright of their Production and Licensor shall have no copyright ownership or interest in Licensee's Production. Please note that by transferring a Production in which the Tracks licensed herein have been embedded to some third party, this also effects an assignment of this license to that third party, and in such an event, Licensee shall no longer possess the license for any subsequent use of the Tracks licensed here (see section below about "Assignment Option").

Licensee may transfer the Tracks to any medium necessary (video, film, tape, digital, etc.) to complete Licensee's Production.

Licensee may edit the Tracks as necessary for adaptation to Licensee's Production. This includes altering the pitch, tempo, equalization, volume, fading, cross-fading or otherwise editing the Tracks to suit Licensee's Production. For audio-only projects, Licensee must voice-over the music in intervals of 30 seconds or less (does not apply to Instrument Tracks nor Sound Effect Tracks licensed herein).

This agreement provides to Licensee a master-use license, a synchronization license, and a limited mechanical license for the commercial and or non-commercial use of the Tracks licensed herein. Performance rights and royalty issues are covered in detail below. For any mechanical uses, should mechanical royalties be legally due to any society in any country wherein Licensee releases its Production, Licensee agrees that it shall pay such royalties as necessary or appropriate and shall not seek to have Licensor pay such royalties as may be due.

To clarify the various types of uses permitted of the Tracks licensed herein, below are examples of just some of the acceptable uses:

  • Soundtrack for motion picture production, trailer, preview, intro, extro or header
  • Soundtrack for TV show production, trailer, preview, intro, extro or header
  • TV and radio advertising content or effect (for ad, donut, intro or content)

PERFORMANCE LICENSE AND PERFORMANCE ROYALTIES

Direct License for Non-Broadcast, Non-Internet Uses - For use of music Tracks licensed herein within any media other than television, radio, and Internet, a limited direct license is provided by this license, meaning that no performance royalties shall be due from Licensee to Licensor nor to any Performing Rights Organizations (hereafter "PRO") such as ASCAP, BMI, PRS for Music, etc. for such non-broadcast uses of any music Tracks licensed herein.

Limited Direct License for Internet Uses - For use of music Tracks licensed herein on the Internet, a limited direct license is provided by this license, meaning that no performance royalties shall be due from Licensee to Licensor nor to any Performing Rights Organizations (hereafter "PRO") such as ASCAP, BMI, PRS for Music, etc. However, in the event that the hosting service provider pays performance royalties for any content that is hosted on its service (e.g. YouTube), then any media content that is deployed to that service provider's system by Licensee shall be eligible for, and shall earn its prorated share of any performance royalties, as paid by the hosting service provider, for the sole benefit of the composer(s), lyricist(s) and/or publisher(s) of the music Tracks licensed herein. Licensee shall not share in, nor be eligible to earn any performance royalties as paid through the PROs by the hosting service provider.

Internet Monetization Via Ad Revenue - For any use on the music Tracks licensed herein on video sharing sites such as YouTube, if the video site provides an opportunity for content uploaders to monetize content on the video site via ad revenue, Licensee is entitled to monetize their video(s) if they desire to do so, for their sole benefit. By virtue of this license, Licensee's right to monetize their video(s) supersedes any other competing monetization claims that may exist from any third parties, and any such claims from third parties should be revoked and eliminated by the video sites. To clarify, this license shall serve as legal notice to any such video sharing/video hosting sites to immediately remove any competing monetization claims from any third parties such that the Licensee named herein may monetize their video(s) for their sole and exclusive benefit.

Performance License Exclusion for TV and Radio Uses - For use of music Tracks licensed herein on television and radio, this Agreement does NOT include a performance license. Such so-called "broadcast" uses require the payment of performance royalties by the broadcaster of the production to the appropriate PRO in the country(s) of broadcast. This is true whether the production is a show, commercial, infomercial, film, video or audio-only program or any other type of production for television or radio use.

Broadcasters Obligated to Pay Performance Royalties - If Licensee is not a television or radio station, broadcaster, or network, and is not the actual broadcaster of the production, Licensee does NOT have to pay performance royalties to any PRO in relation to the license of Tracks herein. Otherwise, if Licensee is a television or radio station broadcaster or network, then performance royalties for use of music Tracks licensed herein within a television or radio production which Licensee broadcasts requires the payment of performance royalties to the applicable PRO(s) in the country(s) of broadcast, at standard rates as charged by the PRO(s) in such country(s), typically in the form of an annual blanket license for music performance rights. These PRO(s) shall then provide the public performance license, covering the public broadcast or transmission of Licensee's production which includes one or more music Tracks as licensed herein.


TRACK USAGE REPORT AND LICENSE ASSIGNMENT
For any music Tracks licensed herein, Licensee is required to complete an online Track Usage Report during the Track download process, detailing Licensee's intended use(s) for the Tracks. Licensee strictly agrees to provide accurate and reasonably complete information in the Track Usage Report to identify their intended use(s) of the licensed Tracks. Failure to provide accurate and reasonably complete information about the intended use(s) will render this license null and void and any subsequent production uses of the licensed Tracks shall be deemed to be infringing uses.

When completing the Track Usage Report, Licensee may perform a one-time assignment of this license to an alternate Licensee (hereafter "Alternate Licensee"). This shall allow the Alternate Licensee to then hold the License for the music Tracks and then Licensee shall no longer own the License to the Tracks for their own direct use. To clarify, this license assignment process simplifies the licensing procedure for media production clients to be able to license music Tracks here for use by a sub-client (i.e. within the sub-client's production), and subsequently convey a legal license to the sub-client for the sub-client's use of the music Tracks. Upon such assignment of License, the Alternate Licensee's name shall appear on the Agreement instead of the Licensee's name. Please note that for client-related projects where a sub-client of the Licensee is utilizing the Track for their own benefit, the assignment of the license to the sub-client is strictly required.

For the use of the Tracks as synched with video or other media elements in a production, the Tracks may be assigned as synched with the production to third parties, without restriction.

Other than the one-time assignment permitted (and required for sub-client projects) in the preceding paragraph, Licensee may not otherwise assign, distribute, sell, rent, lease, sub-lease, sub-license, share or otherwise transfer the Tracks except as incorporated in a product or production.  Tracks may not be assigned, transferred, shared, sublicensed, leased, rented or sold among independent or different companies, operating divisions or subsidiaries owned or controlled by a common parent company. To clarify, independent operating divisions or subsidiaries of a parent company are required to purchase their own license for any Tracks they wish to use.


PROHIBITED USES

3. Licensee may not claim ownership or authorship of the Tracks licensed herein.

4. Licensee may not sell, give away or trade the Tracks licensed herein to any other individual or party, although the Tracks herein can be sold only if embedded within Licensee's derivative production which integrates the Tracks, as permitted with limitations identified in section 2 above.

For any Sound Effect Tracks and Instrument Tracks licensed herein, such tracks may be embedded into an audio-only song or other audio-only Derivative Work, and such audio-only Derivative Work may be freely sold and distributed without any requirement to pay residual royalties of any kind to Licensor for such use of the Tracks. Such permitted audio-only Derivative Works must not be simply a packaging or repackaging of the Tracks licensed here, for the purposes of reselling or redistributing the Tracks as is, but must be a transformative work that integrates or embeds the Tracks in a creative and transformational manner.

7. Licensor may not record lyrics over the top of any of the Music Tracks available at StockMusicSite.com and copyright such new work nor release the new song as an audio-only release on CD or any other media. Adding vocals to a Music Track can create a new copyrightable derivative song and, as such, uses of the music available at StockMusicSite.com in this manner is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Licensee may, however, add dialog or in-context singing (vocals) on top of the Music Tracks licensed herein for uses in scenes within film and TV productions, provided that such vocal overlays or enhancements do not give rise to a separate copyrightable audio work and Licensee does not intend to create such a new copyrightable audio work.

8. Licensee may not distribute the Tracks independently of a derivative product or production, or with any directions or instructions as to how the Tracks may be extracted from a production, or with any invitation, suggestion or authorization that the Tracks may be extracted from a production.

9. Licensee may not alter or delete any "watermark" or other ordinarily imperceptible identifier embedded within the Tracks.

10. Licensee may not distribute the Tracks in native format or reformatted, filtered, re-synthesized or otherwise edited, for use by any third party as sounds, music, multi-sounds, samples, multi-samples, programs or patches in a sampler, sample playback unit, website, compact disc (CD), DVD, computer, software or mobile phone.

11. Licensee may not utilize the Tracks for any type of Generative AI uses or Machine Learnings uses in general. Such licensing is always conducted on a custom-licensed basis. Please contact us via the CONTACT option at the top of the website to inquire about a license for this type of intended usage and let us know some details of your desired use and we will respond quickly.

For questions about these licensing restrictions please contact Licensor to discuss your desired use of the Tracks.


PRODUCTION CREDIT REQUIREMENTS
If any music Tracks licensed herein are used in an audio/visual production where credits are accorded to other providers of licensed material, then for such Tracks a production credit shall be accorded in equal size and comparable placement to other such music credit(s), substantially in the form "Music provided by StockMusicSite.com" with additional credits for the composer(s) and publisher(s) of each Track. Failure to provide the production credit as required herein shall render this agreement null and void and Licensee's use of the Tracks licensed herein shall immediately become an infringing use, subject to legal claim for copyright infringement. For sound effects and instrument sounds, a production credit is optional and shall be provided at Licensee's sole discretion in the format of Licensee's choosing.


CUE SHEET INFO
For any uses of music Tracks licensed herein within a production that is broadcast on television or radio, Licensee is strictly required to provide to Licensor a completed cue sheet detailing the use of all music tracks utilized in Licensee's production, including each music Track licensed herein that is used within the production, so that Licensor may file the cue sheet with the appropriate PRO(s). For the avoidance of doubt, no such cue sheet is required in connection with in-theater showings or via internet streaming for any and all purposes including, without limitation, educational uses.

By licensing and downloading music Tracks herein, Licensee hereby agrees to provide required cue sheet information to Licensor. Any failure to provide required cue sheet information to Licensor within not more than two months after Licensee's production work has been completed and the production has been released for broadcast in any country shall render this agreement null and void and Licensee's use of the Tracks licensed herein shall immediately become an infringing use, subject to legal claim for copyright infringement.
