You may use the Recordings in your personal or professional / business related projects, as well as the projects you undertake on behalf of your client or employer.

The license does not expire and valid in all countries and territories.
Public performance rights
Applies only to Recordings affiliated with a PRO (Performance Rights Organization). All PRO affiliated Recordings provide the PRO name in the description.
This Licensing Agreement does not provide clearance for performing rights, which are governed by PROs, such as ASCAP, BMI, PRS and similar organisations in countries throughout the world.
Typically, the performing rights royalties are paid by broadcasters and venues and, therefore, are not the responsibility of video producers, editors or other typical users of production / stock music. This may not be the case in your country. If you plan to play your media project in public or directly broadcast or stream the project yourself, and if you or the broadcaster / venue do not have a blanket performance rights license, this will be your responsibility to understand and to comply with your country’s copyright laws and to obtain additional performing rights if necessary.
Restrictions and limitations
The Recordings are licensed to you for specific use, not sold. This license does not transfer the copyright of the Recordings to you.
The license expressly forbids resale, re-licensing, or other distribution of the Recordings, either as is, or any modification thereof. You may not use, modify, resell, sub-license, assign, transfer, otherwise make available or permit access by any third party to the Recordings, except as expressly authorised by the license, as per the usage table in the Allowed Usage section.
You may or may not credit Weary Pines or its affiliated composers in your project if you wish but you may not claim the Recordings as your own work.
You may not claim ownership of the Recordings (or otherwise make it available) through YouTube’s Content ID system.
The license is not transferable. You may not re-sell or “loan” the Recordings to others. However, you can pass the license to your client if you are contracted to create the final product (for example, if you are hired to produce a corporate video for a client).
Music previews, available for free download at the Weary Pines website, are for testing, demo, and client approval purposes only and cannot be used for any other purpose including, but not limited to, any unlicensed use in commercial materials, advertisements, digital media or video synchronisation.
The license is not exclusive. Weary Pines retains the right to license the Recordings to third parties at its discretion. For exclusive soundtracks please contact us.
All Recordings are licensed ‘as is’. The total liability of Weary Pines is limited to the licensing fee paid by you to Weary Pines. You hereby agree that the license is granted to you without any other warranty or recourse and agree to indemnify Weary Pines, its owners and employees, from any damage or financial loss resulting from your usage of any of the Recordings.
All sales are considered final once you downloaded the digital content / Recordings. Note that you can listen and download the free watermarked preview of the Recording before the purchase. This allows you to safely try the Recording in your video or media project and to avoid purchasing the wrong product.
If you experience any technical issues with downloading or using the Recordings please contact support.
