Who each one is for

Single User

Who
Just you. One person: freelancers, YouTubers, podcasters, wedding filmmakers.
What you can make
Your own videos and your clients' videos, ads included, on any website or social platform and on local TV.
If you stop
Anything you published or delivered while you were a member stays covered forever.

Corporate

Who
Your whole team: employees and contractors working on your company's projects.
What you can make
Everything Single User covers, for everyone on the team.
If you stop
Anything your team published or delivered while you were a member stays covered forever.

Single track or collection

Who
You, or the company that bought it.
What you can make
Use that music in as many projects as you like, for the same uses as Single User.
If you stop
Nothing to stop. It's yours to use forever.

Production Studio

Who
Studios and networks.
What you can make
National TV broadcast, streaming platforms, theatrical release, video games and apps.
If you stop
Set out in your custom agreement.

If you stop your membership

Anything you published or delivered to a client while your membership was active stays covered forever, even if it keeps earning ad money. New projects need an active membership, or you can buy the tracks you need.

If a video gets flagged

If a platform ever flags your video, open the license certificate in your account and paste it into the dispute. Still stuck? Send the link to info@pleasantpictures.club and we'll get it released.

Giving us credit

No credit needed, ever. If you'd like to, “Music by Pleasant Pictures Music Club” is always appreciated.

Your license certificate

Every membership and every purchase comes with a license certificate in your account: your name, the music, what it covers, and the date.

Refunds

  • Memberships: changed your mind? Ask within 30 days of joining or of a yearly renewal and we'll refund you, no questions asked.
  • Single tracks and collections: refunded within 30 days if you haven't downloaded them yet.
  • A refund ends the license, so anything using that music is no longer covered.

Never allowed, on any plan

  • Selling or sharing the music on its own: albums, beat packs, sound libraries, or files anyone else can download.
  • Saying you wrote it, or retitling it.
  • Registering it with YouTube Content ID or any other claiming system.
  • Using it in porn, or in hate or extremist content.
