7. MUSIC LICENSE TERMS

A. Definitions

“Official Releases” means music explicitly designated and published by us as part of our licensed catalog on the Services.

“Legacy Tracks” means music made available on the Services for archival or reference purposes only and not designated as Official Releases.

“Independent Creator” means an individual or small group of individuals creating original audiovisual content primarily for distribution on their own channels or personal brand on online platforms (including without limitation YouTube, Twitch, Instagram, TikTok, or similar services).

An Independent Creator may monetize content through:

  • Platform advertising programs (e.g., YouTube Partner Program),
  • Creator funds,
  • Donations,
  • Memberships,
  • Affiliate links,
  • Merchandise sales,
  • Similar creator-driven revenue mechanisms.

An Independent Creator does not include:

  • A corporation, agency, production company, or organization producing content on behalf of a client;
  • Any entity creating content primarily as part of a paid commercial campaign, brand advertisement, or sponsored media production;
  • Any person or entity creating or delivering audiovisual works containing the Music for or on behalf of a paying client.

“License” means the limited permission granted under this Section.

B. Grant of License

Subject to your strict compliance with these Legal Terms, we grant Independent Creators a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license (Standard License) to synchronize Official Releases with original audiovisual content created and published by you on approved online platforms.

This License:

  • Permits synchronization only (audio combined with video);
  • Does not permit standalone distribution of the Music;
  • Does not transfer ownership of the Music;
  • Reserves all rights not expressly granted.

The Standard License is personal to you as an Independent Creator and may not be assigned or transferred.

The Standard License applies exclusively to Official Releases. Legacy Archive tracks are excluded from the Standard License.

C. Permitted Uses (Standard License)

Independent Creators may use Official Releases solely in:

  1. YouTube Videos: Including videos monetized through platform advertising programs.
  2. Twitch Live Streams and VODs
  3. Short-form and Long-form Social Media Content: On platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, and similar services*. 
  4. Personal Brand Content: Content primarily associated with your own channel, identity, or creator brand.

*Only on publicly accessible online platforms (private platform/SaaS embedding does not qualify).

D. Prohibited Uses

The standard license expressly excludes the following uses. Unless you have purchased a Custom License, you may NOT:

  1. Commercial & Client Delivery:
    • Bundle Music in client work (e.g., delivering a paid video project to a client where the music is a final asset).
    • Use Music in advertisements, paid promotions, or brand campaigns.
  2. Media Distribution:
    • Use Music in TV series, feature films, short films (commercial), or documentaries (commercial).
    • Use Music in video games, mobile apps, or interactive media.

  • Broadcast / TV: Usage in TV ads, programs, or broadcast media.
  • Film Distribution: Festivals or theatrical releases.
  • Enterprise Use: Integration into SaaS platforms, white-label products, or enterprise tools.

F. Content Identification and Monetization

Official Releases are registered in third-party copyright management systems, including YouTube Content ID. 

As a result:

  • Videos containing the Music may be automatically claimed.
  • Advertising revenue generated from claimed videos may be collected by us unless and until a claim is released at our discretion following review.

If you are an Independent Creator participating in the YouTube Partner Program and your use complies with these Terms, you may request review and potential removal of the claim and/or channel whitelisting. 

We do not guarantee automatic claim release, uninterrupted monetization, or immediate resolution of disputes.

We reserve sole discretion in determining eligibility for claim release or channel whitelisting.

By using the Music, you acknowledge and accept this monetization structure.

G. Attribution Requirement

The Standard License granted herein is conditional upon proper attribution. Failure to provide credit as described below constitutes a material breach of this license and invalidates your right to use the Music:

  • YouTube (Long form and Shorts):  For any use on YouTube, attribution is required and you must include a direct link to the official video in the video description, if possible in the music section.
  • Other UGC Platforms (Optional / Recommended): Attribution is not required outside YouTube but is appreciated. Suggested ways to credit the Artist and heroboard:  
    • Twitch:  Include in your stream description, panels, or chat commands if available.
    • Instagram (Posts, Reels, Stories):  Tag @heroboard in your caption or overlay text, and/or include the song name.  Example: “Music by [Artist Name] 🎵 @heroboard”
    • TikTok / Shorts / X:  Include heroboard.co in your video description or caption.  Example: “Music by [Artist Name] – heroboard.co”

These attributions are designed to be non-intrusive and flexible for each platform.  Creators are free to use alternative wording or placement as long as the Artist and heroboard are acknowledged in a reasonable manner.

H. Discontinuation and Revocation

The License granted under these Terms permits use of the Music subject to continued availability and our ongoing rights in such Music.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue availability of any track at any time, including where rights are revoked or restricted by a third-party rightsholder.

If a track is discontinued for business or rights-related reasons, audiovisual content published prior to the date of discontinuation in compliance with these Terms may remain online, provided such content remains in compliance with these Terms. No new content may be created using discontinued Music after that date.

We reserve the right to immediately terminate your License in the event of material breach of these Terms.

I. Legacy Tracks

Legacy Tracks are made available for archival or reference purposes only. No license is granted for their use. Any use of Legacy Tracks is strictly at your own risk.

We make no representation or warranty regarding the ongoing availability of rights necessary for public use of Legacy Archive tracks.
