1. License Grant

By purchasing the Filmmaker Plan, you (the “Licensee”) receive a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual blanket license to use the tracks in the Tomas Herudek Music Library (“The Music”) for synchronization with audiovisual works (“AV Works”).

This license includes synchronization, mechanical, and master use rights necessary to incorporate The Music into AV Works, subject to these Terms & Conditions.

During your active subscription period, you may:

• download unlimited tracks from the Music Library,

• create and distribute as many AV Works containing The Music as you wish,

• exploit such AV Works in any medium and platform worldwide.

All AV Works created and published during an active subscription are perpetually cleared and may continue to be distributed indefinitely, even after the subscription expires.

After your subscription expires, you may continue to use all tracks downloaded during the valid subscription period, but you may no longer download new tracks or clear new videos on YouTube without renewing the subscription.

​

2. Permitted Uses

The Filmmaker Plan license authorizes the use of The Music in connection with AV Works for:

• Social media platforms (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and all future platforms),

• Monetized and non-monetized video content,

• Podcasts and streaming projects,

• Short and feature films, documentaries, trailers and teasers,

• Television and broadcast productions,

• Commercial and client work,

• Games, mobile applications and software,

• Audiobooks and spoken content,

• Live audiovisual productions and theatrical works.

All uses must comply with these Terms & Conditions and any additional terms posted at www.tomasherudek.com.

​

3. YouTube Content ID & Copyright Claims

Most tracks in The Music Library are registered in YouTube Content ID.
Uploading a video containing The Music to YouTube may trigger automated copyright claims.

To clear such claims and enable monetization, Licensees must submit a request via the Subscriber’s Zone. Upon clearance, the video is whitelisted and will remain monetized without loss of earnings.

Videos already cleared while the subscription was active remain protected even after cancellation; however, new videos cannot be cleared without an active subscription.

​

4. Performance Rights and PROs

This license grants synchronization and mechanical rights necessary for AV exploitation but does not waive public performance royalties.

The Licensor is registered with performing rights organizations (PROs): BMI (for USA & Canada) and OSA (for the rest of the world), IPI Number: 01093612660.

Public performance, broadcast, streaming, or any communication to the public of The Music may require payment of royalties by the broadcaster, platform, or venue, as mandated by PRO rules.

The Licensee is not responsible for payment of performance royalties to the Licensor.

6. Editing and Derivative Works

Licensees may edit The Music for use in AV Works, including:
