Standard Music License
Important Points of this Standard License
This Music Standard License gives you, the buyer, a continuous, non-exclusive, commercial, and worldwide right to use the music you’ve chosen (the “Track”), under these terms. The Licensing FAQs are part of this licence too.
How You Can Use the Music
You have the right to use the Track in one of the following ways (the “Permitted Use”), within a single project or product:
- Combined with something else: You can sync the Track with a video or audio project, to make one final product where the Track is part of something bigger and different.
- Played directly: This means using the Track as background music for one event, place, or business’s phone system, or as one personal ringtone.
Examples of final products: DVDs, websites, audiobooks, apps, games, online videos (like on YouTube or Vimeo), company videos, web ads, live shows, social media posts, and independent films.
This license lets you share the Track with the public (perform it), display it, distribute it, and make copies of it (but not Broadcast it). There are some limits explained below, and some things that aren’t Permitted Uses.
Important Notes:
- You can use the Track for free or paid projects, and whether you make money from it or not – as long as it’s one Permitted Use.
- All our Music licenses are for one product, one use, or one project – keep reading and check the FAQs for more details.
Limits on Permitted Uses:
- For digital downloads or physical products, you can make up to 10,000 copies.
- You can’t Broadcast the Track.
- If you use the Track in a film, that film can’t be shown in theatres. (But using it in an independent film is okay.)
- For music that’s part of a Performing Rights Organization (PRO), this licence doesn’t cover public performance rights. See section 14 for more on that.
- We have other licences without these limits (for lots of copies, wider broadcasts, and films shown in theatres).
More about What You Can Do
Besides the limits above, there’s no limit on how many times people see or hear your final product with the Track in it. For example, your home video could go viral online with millions of views, and you’re still covered.
You can make one final product for a client and give it to them. This also transfers the license to your client.
You can change or edit the Track, or mix it with other stuff, to fit your project. Anything you make based on the Track is still under this licence. But you can’t say you own the Track, even if you change it. You can only do these things if the final use is a Permitted Use.
Things You Can’t Do
- This is a licence for one Permitted Use, so you’ll need a separate licence for each different way you want to use the Track.
- You can’t share the Track on its own as music, as stock, in a tool or template, or with source files. This is true even if you change the Track or give it away for free.
- You can’t use the Track in services where users customise a product, like “on-demand” or “build-it-yourself” things. You’d need a separate licence for each product your customers make, or you can contact us to discuss.
- You can’t let someone take the Track out of your final product and use it on its own.
- You can’t claim trademark rights over the Track within your final product.
Other Important Terms
- All my tracks are registered with APRA meaning they are part of a PRO.
- Music registered with a PRO, may mean you need extra rights and to pay extra fees if you use it publicly or broadcast it.
- You can only use the Track for legal things and not with offensive or harmful material (absolutely no rights are granted for synchronisation with pornographic material or for training AI models).
- You can’t use the Track if it breaks any export laws that apply to you.
- I, Luke Garfield, can end this licence if you break it and don’t fix it.
- I, Luke Garfield, still own the song you’re licensing, but I’m giving you this licence. You can’t claim to own the Track.
- This licence is between you and me, Luke Garfield, the creator.
Definitions
- Broadcast: (a) Traditional TV or radio broadcast; or (b) Mobile or online substitutes for traditional TV or radio broadcast.
- Indie Film: A film not for general theatrical release.
- You: Yourself or your business.
