Internet Radio Stream Licensing You can get your Internet Radio Station legal today! Our license covers you and includes your music reporting, royalty and performance fees as well. Terms Of Service Easy English Introduction StreamLicensing, LLC exists to provide affordable royalty and performance fee licensing services for small to medium-sized Internet Broadcasters. We pledge to serve broadcasters, composers, and artists with uncompromising integrity and value by operating with the highest level of excellence. We want to serve you and need your business. However, because Copyright, Royalty and Performance Fee Laws come with stringent and complex legal parameters we do offer our licensing service subject to the formal Terms Of Service below. Before you go there, however, here are some important, basic, plain-English operating parameters (and please note these are not our arbitrary rules, these policies are developed to meet the varied requirements of the various licensing entities as well as applicable copyright law):
Affiliate Broadcasters' Formal Terms Of Service 1. This webcasting service is exclusively owned and operated under the name StreamLicensing by StreamLicensing, LLC, an Alabama Limited Liability Company. These terms and conditions apply to all registered users or affiliates of the website, and any violation of these Terms and Conditions may result in being barred from future access to or use of the website or loss of affiliation. StreamLicensing provides various services for Internet webcasters engaged in the non-interactive digital transmission of musical works and sound recordings including internet reporting and royalty payment services (the "Affiliates") to various performance rights organizations including ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and SoundExchange, as well as any others created in the future. These Terms and Conditions apply, where applicable and delineated, to both Affiliates and Users. Your registration to access and use this website as a listener or affiliate serves as an expression of your understanding of these Terms and Conditions and your agreement to be legally bound by the Terms and Conditions. It creates a personal, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use this website, conditional upon your continued compliance with the Terms and Conditions. You represent and warrant to StreamLicensing that you will not use this website for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms and Conditions. Should you object to any term or condition of this website, your only recourse is to discontinue use of the site. 2. You will be charged a monthly fee based upon agreements in place with ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and, with regard to SoundExchange, the requirements of the Statutory License found in Sections 112 and 114 of the Copyright Act. The fee is based in whole or in part of one or more of the following factors:
4. The Affiliate shall provide all required information relating to revenues, expenses, aggregate tuning hours, total number of listeners, total number of songs, total number of performances, total number of sessions or any other required information within three (3) calendar days of the completion of each month. StreamLicensing reserves the right to carry forward any data from the most recent month when the Affiliate does not provide required data in a given month, with certain penalties applicable. (Normally this information (except for your Revenue and Expense Report) is automatically pulled into our system from your stream server as indicated in the paragraph below. You must upload a spreadsheet with the music play list for all syndicated or other programming which does not automatically forward the song data to StreamLicensing.) All data must be maintained for four years. You are required by law to maintain your revenue and expense data for four years and make it available to us should one of the licensing entities require an audit. The Affiliate will also provide to StreamLicensing, or StreamLicensing will be allowed to automatically collect, information relating to the Affiliate's webcasting operations, including through the monitoring of webcasting operations, to allow StreamLicensing to file required Playlist Reports of Use or other required reports to SoundExchange, ASCAP, BMI, SESAC or other performing rights organizations. If not automatically collected by StreamLicensing, the Affiliate will provide that information to StreamLicensing within 30 days of a written request by StreamLicensing for that information. (Prior arrangement with StreamLicensing is required for ANY data not available by automatic collection. For example, syndicated shows which do not automatically provide required song data in the stream are prohibited without prior arrangement with StreamLicensing.) The Affiliate is required to pay any difference between the payments incurred according to the agreed upon format the amounts paid by StreamLicensing on the Affiliate's behalf within ten business days of the end of a given month in which the difference exists. 5. The Affiliate's player or stream-launching URL will exist only via StreamLicensing's website or other mobile applications. This requirement is subject to change at any time. 6. Except as outlined in 6a-c, the Affiliate does not have any authorization to itself link to the StreamLicensing webcasting services or charge any fee for access transmission of or access to the webcasting services. The following links are required or encouraged (any other use of our StreamLicensing logo or other linkage is prohibited without prior written consent):
b. Your website will need to link to your player pages in our domain. c. You are welcome to use our supplied banner to link to our website for the sole purpose of encouraging other webcasters to license through us. At times we may offer you promotional discounts based on active referrals you send us.
9. StreamLicensing, in its sole discretion, shall determine Affiliate's compliance with the foregoing Agreement. StreamLicensing reserves the right to terminate this Agreement with or without reason or prior notice (except as otherwise specifically provided for herein) and to take whatever action it deems necessary to limit potential liability upon itself and to cooperate with any pending legal investigation. Without limiting the foregoing, StreamLicensing may terminate Affiliate's use of the Services or access to the Site immediately and without notice if:
(b) Affiliate infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party in connection with the Services; (c) StreamLicensing is unable to verify or authenticate any information User provides to it, or (d) Any material uploaded or transmitted by StreamLicensing to the Site violates any applicable laws or rights of any third party. 11. The written and visual contents of this website, including all copyrightable materials, whether identified as such or not, trademarks and service marks, logos and designs are the property of StreamLicensing, LLC and/or StreamLicensing, copyright . 2011, unless stated otherwise, with the sole exception being the copyrighted musical works and sound recordings that are performed by you and other Affiliates for ephemeral storage and non-interactive digital transmission.

All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved. 12. Although StreamLicensing does not claim ownership of any content posted to the site, you automatically grant StreamLicensing an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, fully paid, worldwide license to use, copy, perform, display, and distribute posted content other than musical works and sound recordings (which cannot be granted by the Affiliate but will be performed pursuant to all relevant statutory licenses or direct licenses obtained from the individual copyright holders) and to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, said Content, and to grant and authorize sublicenses thereof.

You represent that your contribution is in the public domain or original to you, or otherwise does not infringe the intellectual property, contractual or proprietary rights of any third parties, and is not otherwise defamatory or violative of the law. We have very specific rules relating to the music that is performed, all of which derive from the requirements of the statutory licenses applicable to the digital transmission of sound recordings found in Sections 112 and 114 of Title 17 of the United States Code (commonly referred to as the "Copyright Act") and any implementing federal regulations, decisions of federal agencies or federal or state courts. In furtherance of this policy, you agree that you will not engage in the following practices that we believe constitute violations of sections of the Copyright Act designed to prevent music piracy, including but not limited to those prohibitions against operating an interactive service and the preannouncing of songs. Specifically, the following non-exhaustive list of activities is prohibited:
