Music Licensing doesn’t have to be hard to understand, so let’s find the right license for your specific needs:
- If you need background music for a video that you’ll use on Social Media but can’t afford a Standard License, you can use our Attribution License. It lets you use the mp3 version of your selected Mubert track for free, but requires you to add a link to mubert.com on every page where this music is used (for example, adding “Music by mubert.com” in video descriptions, social media posts etc). You can similarly use the Attribution License to soundtrack your visual art NFTs, provided that you credit Mubert in the description and link to mubert.com. Please note that other than via NFTs, you can’t monetize your Derivative Works which use the music licensed via the Attribution License or otherwise use them for commercial purposes.
- Standard License lets you use a high-quality version of a Mubert track in your video, podcast or NFT, publish and monetize your Derivative Work on Social Media.
- Social Boost License gives you the same rights as a Standard License and lets you additionally use your Derivative Works that use a Mubert track in promoted/boosted posts on Social Media (e.g. Facebook, Instagram or Twitter) with no limit for funds spent on “boosting”.
- Online Ads License includes all the rights in the Social Boost License and additionally lets you use your Derivative Works in digital ads (including but not limited to YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter), as well as use Mubert selected music on your own or your company’s e-commerce websites and online platforms.
- All Media License allows you to go beyond online media, letting you use your Derivative Works for public advertising on TV, video-on-demand and radio (though you must comply with your local legislation for Online Ads and CMO). Our Account managers will be happy to help you find the perfect track for your project.
- In-App Music License is designed for software developers and agencies who would like to use a Mubert track as background music for their applications (including but not limited to game soundtracks and in-app music experience).
- Sublicensing License is designed for agencies who are creating Derivative Works for their clients, letting the clients use these Derivative Works in any of the ways described above. It can also be used by software developers whose applications allow their users to create derivative content (user-generated content, UGC) with Mubert music as a background.
- If you intend to build your own music library, distribute and resell Mubert music to your customers, you can get a Reselling License or request a custom license by contacting us at [email protected] or by filling out this form.
1. Licenses and rights granted.
1.1. General Provisions.
You’re about to get one of the Mubert Render Single Track Licenses.Below you’ll find the full description of each license type. When you “buy” (which means in legal terms that you get a license for) a track, file, audio (“Items”), you are granted the rights and bound by the obligations` of a specific Single Track License type - the one you select in a web form, as stated in this Agreement.
For each license type we’ve made simple examples that describe the most common cases of music usage, your rights and responsibilities. You are not bound by only these examples, but by the legal provisions of specific license types.
Please be informed that any activity involving the use of Derivative Works that is not expressly permitted by your specific license type is prohibited.
1.2. Mubert Render License Universal Rights and Limits.
Here are the common rules for all of the Mubert Single Track Render License Types.All Mubert Single Track Render Licenses grant you, the Buyer, a perpetual, limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to make use of the music (“Tracks”, Remix, Item) you have selected and downloaded.
1.2.1. Your rights strictly depend on the license type you choose while downloading and paying for the Item. Within the terms of Attribution, Standard, Social Boost, Online Ads and In-App Music Licenses you can use Items only for your own (or your company, if you represent one) needs. Unless you have an All media, Sublicensing or Reselling Licenses you can't sublicense or otherwise use an Item for your client or customer, even if you do it for free.
Please be informed that your Client or Customer are bound by the same license you have, but your Client or Customer have no right to sublicense the Item.
Unless it is explicitly stated in the relevant contract, you cannot sublicense or allow your client to create their own Derivative Works based on your Derivative Works. Your Client or Customer or any third party you are working for shall be the end user of the Derivative Work you make; they have no right to further transfer the Item in any form.
1.2.2. You have a "perpetual license", that means a license that gives you the ability to use the Remix (file, track, audio) for as long as the copyright or exclusive right in the United States may last.
1.2.3. You are licensed to synchronize the Item to create Derivative Works in timed relation with footage, audiovisual images on film, internet video, NFT (non-fungible token) or podcasts (synchronization license).
Here’s what this means:
You can combine a Remix with any photo, video or animation or use it in a way that you get a new work that has both audio and graphical elements. There is no way you can use the music only or combine a Remix with other music or audio without any graphical footage (except Podcasts as described below).1.2.4. You can modify or manipulate the Remix within the scope of the license. You can combine the Remix with other works and make a derivative work from it. Even if you use several audio components in your work, the resulting Derivative Works are subject to the terms of this license.
In other words:1.2.5. You are allowed to use Remixes as a background in Podcasts only on these Podcast Platforms: Apple Podcasts, Spotify for Podcasters and Google Podcasts. You are not allowed to share and upload any Podcasts embedded with Remixes on any other platform, website, cloud storage or service. You are not allowed to use Remixes as the main purpose of the podcast. Any means of protection of such podcasts, including watermarks, imprints and content identification (Content Protection Services), which could lead to registration of the right to the Remix or an element thereof, shall not be used. In the event that the use of such Content Protection Services results in claims or other inconvenience to other Remix users or rights holders - the infringer will fully indemnify and hold Mubert harmless from any liability whatsoever and will be liable for any damages themselves.
You can use a Remix in combination with different music samples in your video or podcasts — still, this video must follow the rules described here.
1.2.6. You are granted the right to use Remixes in a NFT (non-fungible token, a unit of data stored on a digital ledger called a blockchain, which certifies unique and original content). Any NFT buyer or subsequent buyer, or rightsholder of a NFT and/or its content have no right to sublicense, modify the Remix. You are well aware of the experimental nature of the distributed digital ledger blockchain network items called NFTs, which can make it impossible to enforce Mubert’s or Buyer’s copyrights, the nature of immutable records in the blockchain network and the probability of changing the legal status of virtual assets in the blockchain network.
1.2.7. The Buyer cannot redistribute the Item on any stock platform, in any form. You cannot do this with an Item either on its own or bundled with other audio or music, even if you modify the Item. You cannot redistribute or make available the Item as-is or with superficial modifications. These things are not allowed even if the redistribution is for Free.
For example, You can’t Buy (download) a Remix, convert it to mp3 format and sell, share or give it to anybody. You can’t license an item and then make it available as-is on your website for your users to download.
1.2.8. Under all Mubert Render Licenses, You cannot give access to the Item by allowing anybody to download it following the provided link; you can’t use the Item in any application allowing an end-user to obtain or customize a digital or physical product to their specific needs. You can’t make Derivative Works only for holding and storing Remixes without the intent to use them later.So, we ask you not to upload Remixes to torrent networks, not to give anybody public or private links to Remixes via the Internet and not to use Remixes in any App that allows one to use the Item automatically.
1.2.9. Regarding broadcasting items publicly via TV, internet, cable or radio, Mubert is an exclusive owner of all rights for Items and has performed all necessary right clearance procedures (which means our music is PRO-free, DMCA-free, and Royalty-free), but your country's laws may impose a duty to pay the remuneration or fee (or license fee) for the TV, radio or cable broadcasting of any music (audio), regardless of its legal or copyright status.
Local PROs and Collecting Societies (or other legal entities) in your jurisdiction may charge a fee (remuneration) for music's TV, radio or cable broadcasting or public performance, although you have a direct license agreement with the Mubert Remixes' Authors and Copyright Holders. You will be solely responsible for paying for such fees, licenses and permissions required in your jurisdiction.
For example, in some jurisdictions, you have to pay for the sole act of playing any music in TV shows or ads and follow the local regulations for the music loudness and selection.
1.2.10. You cannot modify (divide or compress) Remixes with no intent to synchronize them to video or podcast. The rule of this license applies to any part or parts of Remixes.
1.2.11. You cannot extract Remixes from your Derivative Works for any purpose.
1.2.12. You cannot register Remixes, use Remixes as an audio trademark or claim ownership of Remixes in any form.
1.2.13. You are not granted any right or to license any third party to collect public performance royalties with respect to the Items.
1.3. Attribution License
