Genuine Sync License Terms

Last updated: November 11, 2026 (version 4.4; stems are not included with any license). Licenses bought earlier keep the terms and price they were bought under: version 4.3 (October 28, 2026), version 4.2 (October 27, 2026), version 4.1 (October 24, 2026), version 3.

These License Terms apply to every music license bought on Genuine Sync. Part A applies to all licenses. Part B sets out what each license type includes. Your purchase is also covered by our Terms of Service and Refund Policy.

Each purchase comes with a license certificate (PDF) naming the track, license type, project, territory, start date and term. If the certificate and these terms ever differ, the certificate controls for that purchase, except that nothing in the certificate removes rights you have under consumer laws that can't be waived where you live; those rights always apply.

Part A: Terms for every license

A1. Parties

Licensor: GenuineMusic Productions ("Genuine Music", "we", "us"), 210 N Wells St, Unit 3908, Chicago, IL 60606, hello@genuinesync.com.
Licensee: the person or company named at checkout and on the license certificate ("you").

A2. The music

Every track is an original Genuine Music composition and production. Some tracks include loops from commercial sample libraries, or pre-recorded instrument performances from licensed music libraries, that Genuine Music has licensed for this use. No track is AI-generated.

A3. What you get

Genuine Music grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable synchronization and master use license to use the licensed track in one video: the video (project) named on your certificate. You may use it in the media, territory and term of the license you bought, including edits and cutdowns of that one video (different lengths and aspect ratios of the same video).

You may use the track only in sync with picture or as part of that production, never on its own.

Non-exclusive means Genuine Music may license the same track to others.
Non-transferable means you can't pass the license to anyone else.
Client work is included. If you make the project for a client, the license covers delivering that project to the client named in the "Project / client" field at checkout.

Export for editors. Pro, Web & Social, Online and Broadcast include an Export for editors ZIP: your licensed WAV master (48 kHz / 24-bit), timeline files for popular video editors, and a README. Everything in the ZIP is covered by the same license as the track and gives no extra rights. Timeline files are provided as a convenience; we can't guarantee they open in every app or version. Creator and Campaign don't include it.

A4. How long a license lasts

Your project stays licensed forever; new uses after 12 months need a new license. This applies to Web & Social, Online, Broadcast and any Custom edit bought with them. Licenses do not renew automatically and you are never charged again without making a new purchase.

Your project, forever: the project you licensed, as you made and placed it in the 12 months from the start date on your certificate, stays licensed with no end date, in the media your license allows.
New uses after 12 months: after the first 12 months, any new use needs a new license at the current price: a new placement, a new paid ad flight, a new broadcast or re-broadcast, a new country, a re-edit or re-upload elsewhere, or a new video.
Licenses bought before this change keep the term they were bought under (1 year).

A5. Territory

Worldwide for online use. Broadcast media are licensed for one country (see B3).

A6. Per video: one video per license

Web & Social, Online, Broadcast and Custom edit licenses are per video. Each license covers one video, using up to 4 tracks in that video, with its cutdowns and aspect ratios. A second video, campaign spot, episode or production needs its own license. The Creator and Pro subscriptions work differently (see B5 and B8).

A7. Stems

Stems (the separate instrument parts of a track) are not sold with any license at the moment. Need stems? Email hello@genuinesync.com for availability and pricing.

If you received stems with a license, you may use them only to mix and edit the licensed track inside the licensed project. You may not release, share or sell stems on their own, use them in another project, build sample packs, loops or remixes from them, or use them to make a new piece of music. Some stems contain licensed library loops or licensed pre-recorded library performances; these must never be used, shared or sampled on their own.

A8. What is not allowed

For every license:

No standalone use. You may not use the track as audio on its own: on streaming services, albums or playlists, as a ringtone, as background music in a venue or store, or in an app or game outside a licensed picture project.
No resale or redistribution. You may not resell, share, redistribute or sublicense the music, stems or files, including inside templates, stock footage or "music included" products.
No sample packs. You may not reuse loops, stems or any part of a track as a sample.
No AI use. You may not use the music, stems or clips to train, fine-tune or prompt any AI or machine-learning system.
No Content ID registration. You may not register the music, alone or as part of your production, with YouTube Content ID, Meta Rights Manager or any similar fingerprinting system.
No ownership or royalty claims. You may not register the music, or a production built around it, with a performing rights organization (PRO), collecting society, distributor or publisher as if you wrote or own it, and you may not claim any writer or publisher share.
No endorsement. You may not suggest that Genuine Music or its artists endorse you, your brand or your product.
Any use outside your license's media, territory, term or project needs a new or upgraded license.

A9. Ownership and performance royalties

Genuine Music (with its writers and artists) keeps all rights in the music. You receive a license, not ownership.

Genuine Music keeps all writer and publisher performance royalties. For broadcast uses, you or the broadcaster file cue sheets naming the track and Genuine Music, and performance royalties are paid through the broadcasters' PRO licenses. We supply cue sheet details on request.

A10. Platform claims

If YouTube or another platform places a claim on a video that uses a properly licensed track, email hello@genuinesync.com with the video link and your license ID, and we will help clear it.

A11. Credit

Credit is appreciated but not required. If you'd like to credit the music, use: Music: "Track title" by Genuine Music (genuinemusicworld.com).

A12. Refunds and chargebacks

If the payment for a license is refunded or disputed (a chargeback), that license is void, its download links stop working, and you may not use the music. See the Refund Policy for when refunds are given.

A13. Ending the license for breach

If you break these terms and don't fix the problem within 14 days of our email telling you about it, we may end your license. A breach that can't be fixed, such as reselling or sharing the files, ends the license immediately. When a license ends for breach, you must stop all use of the track and remove the project from any place you control where it uses the track.

A14. Our promise

Genuine Music promises that it has the right to grant this license and that the music, used as these terms allow, does not infringe anyone's copyright. Apart from that promise, the music and files are provided "as is". We don't promise that a track will suit your project.

A15. Indemnity

Genuine Music will defend you against third-party claims that the music, used within your license, infringes their copyright, and will cover the resulting costs up to the license fee you paid.
To the extent permitted by consumer law, you will cover Genuine Music against claims caused by using the music outside these terms, or by any other part of your production (picture, script, other music, trademarks).
To rely on this section, you must tell us about a claim promptly and let us handle it.

A16. Limitation of liability

Genuine Music's total liability arising out of or relating to a license is limited to the license fee you actually paid for that license. Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental or lost-profit damages. These limits don't apply to liability for intent or gross negligence, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or to any other liability that can't be limited by law. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

A17. Governing law

These terms and each license are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The state and federal courts in Cook County, Illinois have exclusive jurisdiction for business customers. If you are a consumer, you may also bring a claim in the courts where you live, and you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of your country. Nothing here removes consumer rights that can't be waived where you live.

Language. These terms are written in English. Translations are provided for convenience. If a translation and the English version differ, the English version controls, unless the law where you live as a consumer requires the version in your language to apply, in which case that version applies to the extent required.

B4. Custom edit: $750 per video (no stems)

A Custom edit is added to an Online or Broadcast license and is per video: it covers the edit for that one video.

What it is: we edit the licensed track to fit your project, for example a new length (:15, :30, :60), new start and end points, a button ending, or changes to hit picture cues, using existing parts of the track.
No stems: a Custom edit is delivered as a finished mix. It does not include stems.
What it isn't: new composition, new recordings or a different track. Those are quoted separately.
Delivery: within 5 business days after we receive your picture and notes, with up to 2 rounds of changes. Faster delivery is available by quote.
Rights and term: the edit is licensed on the same terms, and for the same term, as the license it was added to (see A4). Genuine Music owns the edit.

B5. Creator subscription: $5.99 a month (cancel anytime) or $49 a year (no stems)

The Creator license is tied to your subscription rather than the term in A4.

What you get: while you are subscribed, you may license up to 5 projects a month (on the monthly plan the count resets at the start of each billing month; on the yearly plan, at the start of each month of your plan year; unused projects don't carry over). A project is one edit with all its cutdowns and aspect ratios, using any track in the catalog, up to 4 tracks in one project. Each project gets licensed WAV audio and a license certificate with its own license ID. Re-exporting the same project doesn't use another project. You may also download short clips (5 to 10 seconds each) of tracks, up to a daily clip limit; each clip has its own license ID.
Where you can use it: organic (unpaid) posts on social media channels, a website or a podcast that you own or personally run. Clips are for short-form social videos (TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and similar) of about 60 seconds or less, one clip per video. Earning money through the platform's own creator programs is allowed.
How many videos: each project counts once, however often you publish its edits on your own channels. Clips: unlimited videos within the daily clip limit.
Needs a paid Web & Social, Online or Broadcast license instead (Web & Social covers organic posts only): paid ads or boosted posts; sponsored, paid-partnership, affiliate or "#ad" content; client work, work for hire or videos for a business other than your own channels; TV, radio, cinema, streaming-service, podcast-ad or out-of-home use; apps, games, NFTs or products.
Never allowed: stems, full tracks or masters on their own; uploading the music or clips as audio on their own; combining clips to rebuild a track; sample packs; Content ID registration; AI training or prompting; suggesting endorsement.
Renewal and cancelling: the subscription renews automatically every month ($5.99) or every year ($49), whichever you chose, until you cancel, and the card on file is charged at each renewal. Cancel anytime online: on the export screen choose Manage plan, then Cancel plan. Cancelling stops the next charge; your plan stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
After you cancel: videos you published while subscribed stay licensed permanently for the uses above. You may not publish new videos under the plan after your subscription ends, and projects or clips you downloaded but didn't publish before then must not be used.
Personal license: non-exclusive and non-transferable. No account sharing and no automated or bulk downloading. A breach ends the license for the affected videos.

B6. Campaign: by quote

Who it's for: brands and agencies running a campaign: several spots or projects, several countries, longer terms, exclusivity options, or custom edits.
How it works: priced by quote. It isn't sold through checkout. Email hello@genuinesync.com with the track, brand, markets, media, number of spots, run dates and any exclusivity you need.
Agreement: each Campaign license is set out in a separate written agreement with GenuineMusic Productions. Where that agreement differs from these terms, the agreement controls.

B7. Promo codes (for example GENUINEVIP: 20% off)

Same license: a license you buy with a promo code is the same license as the full-price one for the license type you chose (Part A and the matching section of Part B), with the same term, territory, per-video rule and limits. It comes with the same license certificate.
How much: GENUINEVIP takes 20% off the price of a Web & Social, Online or Broadcast license (B0, B1, B3). It does not apply to the Creator or Pro subscriptions (B5, B8), a Custom edit (B4) or a Campaign quote (B6). Anyone can use GENUINEVIP, including repeat customers, on more than one order. One code per order: GENUINEVIP can't be combined with any other code. Any other code shows its discount on the payment page before you pay; its rules are in B9. If a code covers the full price, the total is $0.
Personal and non-transferable: you may not sell or trade a code, and a license bought with a code is for the person or company named at checkout and can't be transferred.
No cash value: codes can't be exchanged for money or credit. A refund, where the Refund Policy allows one, is limited to what you actually paid.
We may end a promotion at any time. Licenses already bought with a code are not affected.

B8. Pro subscription: $19.99 a month (cancel anytime) or $199 a year

The Pro plan is for freelancers and small studios making online work for clients. It is tied to your subscription rather than the term in A4.

What you get: while you are subscribed, unlimited full tracks for online client work: license as many projects as you make, each with up to 4 tracks, a licensed WAV and a license certificate.
Export for editors: ZIP with your licensed WAV master (48 kHz / 24-bit), timeline files for popular video editors, and a README.
Where you can use it: organic (unpaid) posts on websites, social media, online video platforms and podcasts, for yourself or for the client named on the certificate. Worldwide (online).
Not covered: paid or boosted ads of any kind (get an Online license, B1), TV, radio, cinema, streaming-service programming and out-of-home (get a Broadcast license, B3), stems, and anything listed in A8.
Renewal and cancelling: the subscription renews automatically every month ($19.99) or every year ($199), whichever you chose, until you cancel, and the card on file is charged at each renewal. Cancel anytime online: on the export screen, sign in on the Pro plan card, choose Manage, then Cancel plan. Cancelling stops the next charge and your plan stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
After you cancel: projects you published while subscribed stay licensed for the uses above. You may not license or publish new projects under the plan after your subscription ends.
Personal license: non-exclusive and non-transferable. No account sharing and no automated or bulk downloading.

B9. Promotional codes

These rules apply to every promo code except GENUINEVIP (see B7). Each code is single-use and for new customers only, unless the code says otherwise. One code per order: codes can't be combined with each other or with GENUINEVIP. Each code shows its own discount and expiry. No code applies to a Custom edit (B4) or a Campaign quote (B6). Codes have no cash value and can't be sold or transferred. We may cancel a code that was used against these rules or obtained without our permission. A free-month code ends on its own after the free month unless you choose to subscribe.
