Music Policy & FAQ

There are two options when it comes to using my background music:

Option 1) Non-Commercial

If you are't using the music in a commercial project, or monetizing, the music is free to use. However:

- If you are uploading to youtube or facebook, you wont be able to use their monetization features to run
ads on your videos.

promoting a business, etc...), then yes you can use it for free. If your project is commercial, or making profit,
donation is required for usage.

I've used your background music for free(non commercial use). Does that
mean I am required to donate?
As an independent artist, it's always appreciated, but not required :)

How do I donate to you?

On the menu of this website there is a link that says "Donate" - Simply click there and enter details. After
donating, license documents or youtube channel licenses will be provided.

How much does a usage license cost? (How much should I donate?)
I understand that every person or project has a different budget. Because of this, I let you decide whatever
amount of money you wish to donate in order to get a usage license.

Are you giving me a royalty free license?

Ye s .

What does Royalty Free, really mean?

A royalty free license means that after you obtain a license, you can use a track more than once without paying
again, for a particular project.

Do I have to buy a license for EVERY track? Or can I just buy one license for
all of your tracks?
Yo u a r e o n l y r e q u i r e d t o d o n a t e o n c e p e r p r o j e c t . A p r o j e c t c a n c o n t a i n a s e r i e s o f s i m i l a r v i d e o s . F o r e x a m p l e ,
a show that has multiple episodes.

I'm not sure if my project will make me money in the future. Can I still use
your background music, for free?
In this case, you can use the music for free, but if you end up making money, then you are required to donate
at that time.

After I buy a usage license, can I re-use the music in multiple projects?
The license can only be used on the project which you are buying it for at the time. If you want to re-use a
track for a different project, you will need to donate for the track again.

If I use the donate button on your website, in what form can I expect the
license to be emailed to me?
An official license document and receipt will be emailed to you. If you're using the music for youtube, you'll
need to include your youtube channel or video links to us in order to apply the license on youtube's end.
