If you are a student or low budget independent filmmaker, by subscribing to picturesoundpublishing.com you will be purchasing a 'blanket' synchronisation licence that will allow you to synchronise ANY music from this library for one year from date of purchase.

General Terms and Conditions:

When you download a music track [or tracks] from picturesoundpublishing.com you will receive an email containing all the licensing details needed to complete a cue sheet. Once you have decided which tracks to synchronise into your film or programme, you must complete a picturesoundpublishing.com automated cue sheet. We will send you a copy of your completed cue sheet by email automatically. We will also forward the cue sheet to the PRS for Music. You may also forward a copy of your email or fill in a PRS for Music cue sheet and present it in the normal way. It is the responsibility of the licence holder to fill in every PRS cue sheet correctly.

picturesoundpublishing.com is a member of the Performing Right Society, PRS for Music (PRS) in the UK and has assigned the 'performing right' in its music to the PRS to collect and administer. It is very mandatory for all picturesoundpublishing.com licence holders to fill in cue sheets so the broadcaster or otherwise can give the PRS [and its affiliates worldwide] the correct information on all music used.

picturesoundpublishing.com will grant all licence holders synchronisation rights WORLDWIDE and FOREVER in all audiovisual productions [using music from this website] made within the duration of each dated license. Therefore in ten/twenty years time for example this license will still be valid and your work will be cleared for broadcast at no further cost or paperwork as long as your original work remains the same with no edits or re-versioning from the time of synchronisation during the original licensing term. All we ask is that you fill in a cue sheet every time you use our music.

After successful purchase, your licence will be emailed to you. We strongly recommend that you print off a copy of this license and every subsequent document that we send to you. Documents should always be stored in a safe place. On receipt of your licence by email you will then have access to all music tracks available on this website.

We will keep a record of your downloads in our database and email notification to you as and when you use the library.

We will offer all licence holders the option to renew by email three weeks before the expiry of a licence. A 10% discount will be offered at this time. Upon receipt of payment your licence will be reactivated the day following expiry. Any music tracks synchronised after the expiry date of your licence will require a further annual licence or rate card payment. If you do not receive a renewal email and wish to renew your licence then contact us as soon as possible to avoid any dispute.

YOUR LICENCE WILL entitle you to the following permissions:

Fair use of music tracks from the picturesoundpublishing.com website to synchronise in an audio/visual context for a 12 month or other agreed period starting from the date that appears on your licence. The basic student or independent filmmaker licence includes ALL clearance permissions for Film Festivals and Personal Websites. Only with a fully - negotiated commercial blanket licence or rate card payment may you use our music for commercial use such as Worldwide TV, Radio Broadcast, Film and Advertising. During the creative process of assembling music cues you may loop, edit, and overlay sound FX from the library as it suits you. As long as all of the audio material is taken from this library you have full creative licence to manipulate your soundtrack as you wish.

YOUR LICENCE WILL NOT entitle you to the following permissions:
