Your Custom Songz Personal-Use Music License

Effective Date: August 25, 2026

This Personal-Use Music License (the “License”) applies to every song, album, audio file, lyric video, custom song, sample, and related digital deliverable (collectively, “Music”) purchased or received from Joseph S Apps, LLC under the Your Custom Songz brand. It is part of the Your Custom Songz Terms of Service.

1) Personal-Use License Grant

After full payment, and subject to this License, Joseph S Apps grants the purchaser and any intended gift recipient identified with the order a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use the delivered Music worldwide for lawful, non-commercial personal purposes.

2) Permitted Personal Uses

You may:

• listen on your personal devices and keep reasonable personal backup copies;
• play the Music at a personal, non-commercial event such as a wedding, anniversary, birthday, memorial, family gathering, or private celebration;
• give the Music to the intended personal recipient identified by the nature of the order;
• include the Music in a personal, non-sponsored, non-monetized home video or personal social-media post, provided the post does not offer the master file for download, claim ownership, or violate a platform’s rules; and
• make minor edits such as trimming or adjusting volume solely for an otherwise permitted personal use.

3) Commercial Use Requires Written Consent

You may not use the Music for any commercial, promotional, professional, revenue-generating, sponsored, advertising, fundraising, or business purpose without prior written consent from Joseph S Apps. A separate commercial license and fee may be required.

Commercial use includes, without limitation:

• monetized or sponsored videos, channels, posts, livestreams, podcasts, broadcasts, or performances;
• advertisements, marketing campaigns, business websites, branded content, product promotion, political campaigns, or fundraising;
• film, television, radio, games, apps, software, audiobooks, stage productions, or other synchronization uses;
• use by a venue, event company, wedding vendor, content creator, influencer, nonprofit, school, religious organization, employer, or other organization for its own promotional or revenue-related purposes;
• distribution through Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, SoundCloud monetization, a record label, an aggregator, or another public music-distribution service; or
• sale, licensing, sublicensing, rental, tokenization, merchandising, sampling, remix distribution, or incorporation into another commercially exploited work.

4) Ownership and Copyright

The purchase price pays for access to the Music and the limited license stated here. It does not transfer copyright ownership, master ownership, publishing rights, authorship, exclusive rights, or the right to authorize others. Joseph S Apps and/or the applicable rights holder retains all ownership and rights not expressly granted. Any transfer of ownership or broader rights must be in a separate written agreement signed by an authorized representative of Joseph S Apps.

5) No Registration or Rights Claims

You may not register or claim the Music, composition, lyrics, master, artwork, or lyric video as your own with the U.S. Copyright Office, a performing-rights organization, a music distributor, a content-identification or rights-management system, a publisher, a record label, or any similar service. You may not issue takedowns or ownership claims against Joseph S Apps or other authorized users.

6) No Redistribution or Public Download

You may not resell, upload, share, distribute, torrent, publicly host, or make the full-resolution Music or download link available to others except for the intended personal gift recipient. Personal social-media use permitted above must not expose a downloadable master or function as music distribution.

7) Customer-Supplied Material

You retain rights you already hold in lawful material you submit, such as your own written story, personal photographs, or authorized recordings. You grant Joseph S Apps a limited license to use that material to create, administer, secure, and deliver your project. Submitting personal material does not give you ownership of the resulting Music beyond this License.

8) Commercial License Requests

To request written commercial consent, email joseph@josephsapps.com before use. Include the song title, intended use, business or project name, media, platforms, monetization, territory, and requested term. Silence, payment for a personal-use product, or informal conversation is not commercial permission. Permission is valid only when confirmed in writing by Joseph S Apps and any required fee is paid.

9) Enforcement and Termination

This License terminates automatically if you materially breach it. Upon termination, you must stop the unauthorized use and remove unauthorized copies or postings. Joseph S Apps reserves all legal and equitable remedies, including platform takedowns, damages, injunctive relief, recovery of profits where available, and reasonable enforcement costs. Termination does not limit rights or remedies arising before termination.

10) Platform Rules and Clearances

You are responsible for following the rules of any platform or venue where you use the Music. Written permission from Joseph S Apps does not replace permissions that may be required from third parties for customer-supplied material, performers, venues, unions, platforms, or other rights holders.

11) Governing Terms

This License is governed by the Your Custom Songz Terms of Service and North Carolina law. If this License conflicts with a separately signed commercial license, the signed commercial license controls only for the rights expressly granted in it.
