How Licensing Works

The safest workflow is to confirm your usage before publishing. This helps match the license to your platform, business model, campaign type, distribution plan, and required proof of license.

Music licensing process for selecting a use case, choosing a license, keeping proof, and publishing with clearer rights

1. Choose Your Use Case

Decide whether the project is personal, monetized, commercial, branded, agency-based, paid advertising, or campaign-based.

2. Select a License

Choose a plan that matches YouTube, social media, ads, AI videos, business videos, or client projects.

3. Keep Proof

Keep your Gumroad receipt, license confirmation, track registration details, and project information when applicable.

4. Publish Within Scope

Use the music only within the permitted license scope, platforms, campaign period, and approved use case.

Important Usage Notes

A Nanashino-chan license gives permission to use the music within the approved scope. It does not transfer ownership, exclusive rights, publishing rights, master ownership, or the right to resell or redistribute the music as standalone audio.

License Only

No audio files are included unless specifically stated. Please use Nanashino-chan music from official platforms or approved sources.

No Ownership Transfer

The buyer may not claim authorship, register the music with Content ID, resell the music, or upload it as a standalone audio asset.

Use Depends on Scope

Advertising, campaigns, client projects, TV, cinema, games, apps, and exclusive use may require a higher license or custom agreement.

Music Licensing FAQ

Where should I choose a track?

Use the B2B catalog to preview recordings and check track titles, ISRCs, UPCs and release dates. If you prefer browsing album jackets and moods first, start with Discover.

What should I include in an inquiry?

Send the track title or ISRC, album or track link, publisher or client, project description, platforms, territories, usage period, and whether paid promotion or sponsored content is involved. If the track is not decided yet, describe the mood you need.

Can I use Nanashino-chan music in monetized YouTube videos?

Yes, when you choose a license that permits monetized video use. The license should match your platform, content type, commercial purpose, and distribution scope.

Can brands and agencies use this music in ads?

Yes. Sync and custom licensing options are available for brand campaigns, paid ads, sponsored videos, social media campaigns, product videos, client projects, and commercial marketing use.

Can I use this music in AI-generated videos?

Yes, if the selected license covers your intended use. This can include AI-generated videos, AI avatar videos, AI marketing content, YouTube publishing, ads, or client-facing commercial projects, depending on the license scope.

Does buying, downloading, or streaming music automatically allow commercial use?

No. Purchasing, downloading, or streaming music generally does not automatically grant upload, monetization, advertising, commercial, client-use, or social media distribution rights. A separate license may be required for commercial or promotional use.

Can licensing completely guarantee no copyright claims?

No responsible license should promise absolute platform outcomes. A clear commercial license can reduce uncertainty by documenting permitted use, but platform systems, automated checks, ad review, monetization review, and Content ID behavior may vary.

What should I do if a Content ID or copyright claim appears?

Contact Nanashino-chan with your Gumroad receipt, License Certificate PDF, track title or track URL, video URL, platform name, and a screenshot of the claim if available. Claim support applies to approved licensed use within the purchased scope.

Do I need a custom license?

A custom license is recommended for large campaigns, exclusive usage, TV broadcast, cinema, games, apps, public venue playback, agency packages, unusual distribution requirements, or commercial use beyond the listed license scope. Perpetual use does not transfer copyright, master ownership, authorship, or exclusive rights unless a separate written agreement explicitly states otherwise.
