Simple Licensing Agreement

Our music is here to support your creative work. This agreement explains how you can use Jaapi’s royalty-free music and where restrictions apply.

By purchasing music from jaapi.media, you agree to the terms below.

✅ What You Can Do

  • Background music: Use tracks behind your voice in guided meditations, hypnosis sessions, affirmations, audiobooks, podcasts, and course lessons—or as background music for yoga classes and other permitted projects.
  • Videos & social media: Use music in the background of your original content on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and live streams—not as a standalone music listening experience.
  • Sell your recordings: Sell or share your own narrated recordings containing our background music, with no limit on copies distributed. For distributed products, narration must cover at least one-third of the music’s duration.
  • Simple edits: Fade, cut, or loop tracks to fit your project without changing the original composition.
  • YouTube monetization: Monetize eligible videos that use our music in the background. If you receive an automatic Content ID claim, send us your order details and video link so we can arrange to have it cleared.

❌ What You Cannot Do

  • Standalone music releases: Upload, sell, or distribute our tracks as music-only recordings, albums, playlists, or videos—including on Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube. Adding a still image or background visuals does not turn a music-only upload into a permitted use.
  • Resell or share the music files: Resell, sublicense, transfer, or share the original music files, or claim the music as your own.
  • Remixes & musical changes: Remix or rearrange the music, add sung vocals or instruments, or embed subliminal messages. Spoken narration for permitted projects is welcome.
  • Standalone app streaming: Offer tracks as standalone listening content inside an app or media player, or give users separate controls to play, pause, or skip the music itself.
  • Restricted content: Use the music in projects involving violence, hatred, pornography, politics, alcohol, or drugs.

The full terms below apply to every purchase.

Ownership & Licensing

All music remains the property of Jaapi Media and its respective rights holders. Purchasing a license does not transfer ownership of the music to you.

Your purchase grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use the music within the terms of this agreement. No additional royalty payments are required for uses covered by your license.

Attribution

Credit is appreciated where possible, but is not required.

Suggested format:

Music: “[Track Title]” by [Artist Name]. Licensed by Jaapi Media.

YouTube Content ID & Monetization

Music licensed through Jaapi is registered with Identifyy for copyright protection. Our catalog features original music released by professional artists, and Content ID helps protect their recordings from unauthorized use.

Your license allows you to use the music in eligible YouTube videos, including monetized content. However, an automatic Content ID claim may still appear. Receiving a claim does not, by itself, mean you have used the music incorrectly.

If you receive a claim on a permitted use, email info[at]jaapi.media with:

  • Your order details.
  • A link to the affected video.
  • Details of the claim, if available.

We’ll review your licensed use and arrange for the claim to be cleared or request channel whitelisting where appropriate. Processing times may vary, so we cannot guarantee immediate clearance or uninterrupted monetization.

Monetization is permitted when our music supports your original content—not when the music itself is the main product or listening experience.

Permitted Uses

You may use the music as background audio in the following projects, subject to the restrictions and special-use conditions in this agreement:

  • Digital content: YouTube videos, Instagram posts, TikTok videos, and live streams.
  • Creative projects: Podcasts, audiobooks, films, commercials, and games.
  • Wellness content: Guided meditations, hypnosis, ASMR, affirmations, and yoga classes.
  • Business & nonprofit projects: Presentations, blogs, advertisements, and websites.
  • Events & personal projects: Weddings, personal videos, and other permitted events.

Editing Tracks

You may fade, cut, or loop the music to fit your project.

You may not remix, rearrange, or otherwise change the original composition. Adding spoken narration is permitted; adding sung vocals, instruments, or subliminal messages is not.

Selling & Distributing Your Recordings

You may sell or distribute your own narrated recordings containing our background music, including personalized meditations, hypnosis recordings, audiobooks, and course lessons.

For distributed products, spoken narration must cover at least one-third of the duration for which the music is used.

Provided your project meets these terms, there is no limit on the number of copies you may sell or distribute, whether for commercial or charitable purposes.

This permission applies to your finished project—not to the original music files or standalone music releases.

Apps & Software

Apps are not automatically excluded from licensing. We review app and software uses individually to understand how the music will be presented and accessed.

Please contact us before incorporating Jaapi music into an app or software product. Include:

  • A short description of the app.
  • How the music will be used—for example, behind guided meditations or within a specific feature.
  • Whether users can play, pause, skip, download, or otherwise access the music separately from your content.

App and software use requires written approval from Jaapi. Additional licensing terms or fees may apply depending on the project.

Unless specifically approved in writing, you may not offer our tracks as standalone listening content, provide separate music-player controls, or allow users to download or extract the original music files.

Any exception to the standard license must be expressly confirmed in writing.

Public Broadcasting & Multiple Venues

Public broadcasting is limited to one physical or digital venue per license. Additional venues require additional licensing.

Contact us before using the music across multiple locations, venues, or broadcasting channels so we can confirm the appropriate coverage.

Uses That Are Not Permitted

Unless we have expressly approved an exception in writing, you may not:

  • Claim ownership or authorship of the music.
  • Resell, sublicense, transfer, or share the original music files.
  • Release the music as standalone tracks, albums, compilations, or other music-only products, whether digital or physical.
  • Distribute the music as a music release on Spotify, Apple Music, or other streaming platforms. Using it as background music in an otherwise permitted narrated podcast is different from releasing it as a standalone song or album.
  • Upload music-only videos or live streams. Adding a still image, animation, or background footage does not make a standalone music listening experience a permitted use.
  • Remix or rearrange the music, add sung vocals or instruments, or embed subliminal messages.
  • Embed the music in an app or media player for standalone streaming without written approval.
  • Use the music in projects involving violence, hatred, pornography, politics, alcohol, or drugs.

Refund Policy

Our music is delivered through immediate digital downloads. All sales are final, except where a refund is required by applicable law.

If you experience a problem downloading or accessing your purchase, please contact us so we can help resolve it.

If you’re unsure whether a track is right for your project, please request a sample before purchasing.
