Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are the terms of the license agreement for Stockmusic.net?
   The license is non-exclusive meaning we do not limit the use of your music in any way. If your music is selected for our library, you can submit it to other libraries, resell, or do what you want with your music, because it is your music.
2. Can I remove my music from your library once I sign the agreement?
   Once you submit it to our library and sign our agreement it is a part of the library permanently. The Maximum Edge production music library is in thousands of ad agencies, production companies and businesses worldwide and it would be very costly and difficult (if not impossible) to remove music from all of these sources once it has been distributed.
3. How do I get paid?
   We have 2 licenses. 1) Our "performance" license covers usage for background playback in retail environments, restaurants, on-hold systems, plays, theaters etc. For this type of license we split all fees 50/50 with the composer. 2) Our media producer license covers anything where the end user is creating a media production that is unique and distinct from the music itself. This includes television shows, films, websites, videos, dvds etc. For this license the composer receives 100% of all performance royalties and 100% of publishing royalties payable through your performing rights organization. You must belong to a performing rights organization such as ASCAP or BMI to collect these royalties. A comprehensive license agreement will be provided upon acceptance of your music to the library.
   
   From time to time we do custom licensing, and we split all custom license revenues 50/50 with the composers. This includes creation of kiosks where music is embedded, do-it-yourself web video and slideshow creation tools, private label CD duplication and other licenses that do not fall under our general licenses.
   
   We are often asked to create custom music. If you have a niche or specialty, we may want to commission works from you as the need arises, in which case we will contact you.
4. When will I hear back from you?
   We get hundreds of submissions per week, however we guarantee that one of our new media directors will listen to each and every submission uploaded. If your music fits one of our upcoming collections or if you have a collection we feel is suitable for the site we will contact you, usually with 2-3 weeks.
5. When do I get to sign a license agreement?
   If your music is selected for an upcoming collection we will provide you with a license agreement and all of the information you will need to get your music on the site.
