Licenses

If you want to use our music legally in your own work, you’ll need to purchase the right license. We offer different options depending on what you plan to do — from recording a simple cover, to using songs in videos and ads, all the way up to buying full copyright ownership. Below you’ll find the details for each license available.

Want to record and release your own version of one of our songs? The Cover License is for you. It allows you to re-record the song (with your own performance) and sell it as a digital download or CD.

  • Record and release your own version of the song.
  • Sell or distribute as a CD or digital download.
  • No use in videos, film, ads, or broadcasts.
  • No public performances.
  • No sync rights (YouTube, TikTok, etc.).

The Standard License covers everyday content creation. If you’re a YouTuber, podcaster, or small business making videos, this is usually the right choice.

  • Use the track in online videos, podcasts, or social media.
  • Use in small business promos and personal projects.
  • Not for major TV, film, or cinema distribution.
  • Not for large advertising campaigns.
  • No resale or redistribution of the music.

The Expanded License is for bigger projects that need broader rights. This license is ideal for companies, agencies, or creators with larger audiences and commercial distribution.

  • Use the track in ads, films, and larger commercial projects.
  • Distribute on streaming services, radio, and TV.
  • Covers higher view counts and wider exposure.
  • Cannot transfer or resell the license to others.
  • Does not grant full copyright ownership.

This is the top tier. With a Copyright Exchange, you receive the full copyright ownership of the track. The music becomes yours — you can use it, license it, resell it, or protect it as your own intellectual property.

  • Full copyright transfer to your name or company.
  • Unlimited use in any medium (film, ads, streaming, radio, TV, social, etc.).
  • The right to license or resell the track yourself.

Can I upgrade my license later?

Yes. If you start with a smaller license and later realize you need broader rights (for example, moving from Standard to Expanded), just contact us. We’ll guide you through the upgrade without making you pay twice for the same rights.

Do I get a refund if I buy the wrong license?

Licenses are non-refundable once purchased, since they grant you instant rights to use the music. If you’re not sure which license you need, please reach out before buying — we’ll help you choose the safest option.

Can I share or transfer my license to someone else?

No. Licenses are valid only for the person or company that purchased them. If someone else wants to use the same music in their own projects, they’ll need to purchase their own license.

Does the license last forever?

Yes. All licenses sold here are lifetime licenses. Once you buy it, you can use the track under the agreed terms forever — no annual renewals required.

What’s the difference between a license and copyright exchange?

Licenses give you certain usage rights, but copyright exchange means the full ownership of the music is transferred to you. With copyright exchange, you can even resell or re-license the track as your own property.
