CREATOR LICENSE
For small YouTubers, TikTok and Instagram creators, small podcasts, and personal or student projects. The cheapest, fastest way onto the shelf — instant, self-serve, no back-and-forth.
What you can do
Use the licensed track(s) in one finished project — a video, episode, short, or similar — across your own personal channels and platforms. This covers:
- Small YouTube, TikTok and Instagram content, including content that earns platform ad revenue or viewer support (e.g. YouTube Partner Program, Patreon-style tips)
- Small/independent podcasts
- Personal, hobby and student projects
Bought a full pack? The same one-project scope applies to the whole pack — pick and choose freely from every track inside it for that one project.
What’s not covered
- Broadcast, theatrical, or paid-streaming distribution (TV, film, Netflix-style platforms) — see the Broadcast tier
- Use by a registered business, agency, or brand as part of paid advertising — see Indie Creator or Commercial
- Reselling, redistributing, or sublicensing the track itself, on its own or bundled into another product
- Claiming authorship of the track, or registering it with a rights-collection body under your own name
- Using the same license purchase across more than one distinct project — license again, or step up a tier, for additional projects
Duration & territory
Once purchased, this license doesn’t expire and applies worldwide — there’s no renewal and no territory restriction on the one project it covers.
Content ID protection
Tracks in the catalog can be whitelisted against Content ID claims through our distributor for licensed buyers — if a claim shows up on your video, get in touch with your order details and we’ll clear it. (This is a manual process for now; an automated on-site whitelisting flow is a possible future improvement, not something this license depends on.)
Delivery
Delivered as the same preview-quality files available on the site, unless a different format is agreed at checkout.
A note on this document
This page is written in plain English on purpose, but it’s still the legal terms that govern how someone can use a track they’ve licensed — so it should be reviewed by a lawyer before it goes live, as flagged on your own pre-build checklist. Nothing on this page is legal advice.
