Does your music / sound effect license cover my film or video online?

Our Standard License covers music or sound effects used in your videos online.

By ‘online’ we mean any online platform that allows users to view your film / video / animation or download it for free. This can be: -

Visitors to your website - eg. Marketing, help or demonstration video or Vlog
Members of your team or business - eg. Training video, help guide
Members of the public - eg. Trade stand video, integrated kiosk or vending machine video

For all of these uses our Standard License covers this regardless of the number of views or even downloads providing it is free to the end user. It can be a video delivered from your own server / hosting or via a third party such as YouTube, Vimeo etc.

For YouTube, please also see Can I use your music / sounds in my YouTube videos?

Monetized Videos

Our standard license allows for you to be part of monetization programs and include videos that contain our music or sound effects. These must be real videos, with real content and our music or sound effects must be playing a supporting role only. Mixing the music in its entirety with one or more images in order to monetize the music is not an accepted use.

Paid for Services

If you are charging for a service and the video is delivered as part of a product, either as a download or subscription based product then the standard license only covers up to 5000 paid for clients or users. After this number you will need to contact us for a license upgrade.
