Legacy takes alleged copyright infringement seriously. If you believe that any information or material on our Site constitutes copyright infringement, please see our DMCA Addendum for how to submit a claim.
6. Cover Song Licensing Services
The Site allows you to purchase a service whereby Legacy acquires on your behalf, prior to your distribution of phonorecords [as such term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (the Copyright Act), mechanical licenses for the reproduction of musical compositions. You tell us the format you want to use (e.g. CD, digital download or ringtone) for the mechanical licenses and the number of copies (100, 1000, etc.) to be distributed. Legacy calculates the royalty that must be paid to the music publisher(s) under the Copyright Act for use of the musical composition(s), based on the statutory mechanical royalty rate in effect at the time of release. Please note that mechanical royalty rates may change over time, and Legacy reserves the right to adjust its royalty charges accordingly. You pay those royalties to Legacy, along with Legacy's licensing service fee, and Legacy obtains the license(s) from the appropriate publisher(s) or copyright holder(s) and pays the publisher(s) or copyright holder(s) the royalties on your behalf.
The maximum number of copies Legacy will license per song per album at the statutory mechanical royalty rate is
2,500
units. If you wish to license more than the maximum number of copies, Legacy will attempt to obtain the license, but will charge an additional fee of up to
$0.014 USD
for each copy for our services (minimum:
$25 USD). This charge is in addition to the royalties owed and will be paid to Legacy, not the copyright holder. In addition, if you wish to license more than
2,500
physical units, you agree to deliver a pressing report to Legacy on stationery of the manufacturer, indicating the actual quantities produced, upon our request.
The Cover Song Licensing service does not allow you to obtain licenses for samples, audio recordings (masters), synchronization rights (audiovisual), theatrical rights, grand rights, or print rights. If you want to obtain any of those rights, you must contact the rights holder(s) directly, or ask us to provide Custom Licensing services. In addition, the Cover Song Licensing service does not allow you to obtain mechanical licenses for songs that do not comply with the compulsory mechanical licensing provisions of the Copyright Act.
For each song you submit to us for licensing, you agree that:
- You will not change the lyrics of the song.
- You will not change the fundamental melody of the song (general rearrangement is allowed, however).
- You will not request a song that has never been previously recorded and commercially released.
- You will not release any recording of any song for any purpose other than personal private listening by the end user.
- You will not sell copies of any recording of any licensed song outside of the United States without additional permission from the rights holder(s).
Under the Copyright Act, a mechanical license must be obtained from the copyright owner of the applicable musical composition prior to the manufacture or distribution of digital or physical copies. Under certain circumstances, even if the copyright owner cannot be found, or refuses a license, a so-called "compulsory license" can be obtained. Importantly, a compulsory license may only be obtained by giving a "Notice of Intention to Obtain a Compulsory License" to the copyright owner or their agent, before or within 30 days of making, and before distributing, any phonorecords (including digital copies).
Therefore, we require that you submit your request to Legacy at least 45 days in advance of your distribution of any copies. If that time limit has passed, Legacy will still try to help you and make every effort to secure a retroactive license on your behalf, but in that instance a license cannot be guaranteed. If a license cannot be secured and the time to secure a "compulsory license" has expired, any accrued royalties will be returned to you. In all events, you will be responsible for any claim by a publisher or copyright holder, and you agree to indemnify Legacy against any such claim in accordance with section 10 below.
7. Marketplace
The Marketplace allows users (as Seller) to post original compositions, soundalike, and licensed cover recordings with visual artwork (collectively Contributions) for other users (as Buyers) who are interested in obtaining music for non-commercial use to browse and purchase rights to the Seller's music, subject to the restrictions of these Terms of Use.
By providing Contributions to the Site, Sellers grant us and our service providers the right to use, reproduce, modify, perform, display and distribute the Contributions for use on our Site and in our Services (including for our business purposes) and to provide the license terms described to Buyers. By posting a Contribution, Seller explicitly agrees to allow Buyers to license the Contributions under the Standard License Agreement (the current version, which Legacy may change from time to time, is set forth here) in effect at the time of the transaction, unless Seller or Legacy provides overriding terms.
While Legacy may monitor and decide to remove any Contributions in our sole discretion, Sellers and Buyers understand and acknowledge that:
- Seller is responsible for any Contributions submitted to the Marketplace, and Seller—not Legacy—has full responsibility for the content, including the legality, reliability, accuracy, and appropriateness of that content.
- Buyers are responsible for the user of any Contributions obtained through the Marketplace, and Buyer—not Legacy—has full responsibility for their compliance with the terms of the applicable license.
Sellers represent and warrant that neither Contributions or the use thereof by us or Buyers in accordance with the license terms will:
- violate, plagiarize, misappropriate, or infringe upon the rights of any third party, including, without limitation, copyright, trademark, privacy or publicity, moral rights, contract or other personal or proprietary rights;
- contain unlawful material;
- constitute false or misleading statements of fact or indications of origin;
- slander, libel or defame any person or entity;
- cause injury of any kind to any person or entity; or
- violate any applicable laws, rules, regulations or other governmental regulations.
When submitting Contributions for sale to potential buyers through the Marketplace, Sellers can select their preferred tier to determine Buyer pricing. Unless otherwise agreed by Legacy, Legacy will retain fifty percent (50%) of the Buyer's fees for cover recordings, and twenty-five percent (25%) of the Buyer's fees for original works. Legacy will deduct the amount of Legacy's fees described above and will pay Sellers quarterly for all Buyer transactions processed in the prior quarter when the amount in Seller's account reaches the level Seller designates during account registration. Legacy may also issue payments from your Account at additional times in its sole discretion. Sellers may be able to change the applicable pricing tier and add or remove Contributions from the Marketplace at any time. Seller must submit an International Standard Recording Code (ISRC), if Seller has one, at the time that Contribution is submitted; Legacy may obtain an ISRC for Contributions if Seller does not provide one.
Buyers represent and warrant that they will use a purchased Contribution solely in compliance with the applicable license terms approved by the Seller. Buyers acknowledge that individual Contributions purchased by Buyer may be downloaded (or re-downloaded) through Buyer's Marketplace account so long as the Contributions are available to the Marketplace. If Sellers remove their Contributions, those items may no longer be available for download (or re-download) or other access.
Legacy acts as an agent for Sellers in operating the Marketplace and is not a party to the license between Sellers and Buyers (though Legacy may be a third-party beneficiary with the ability to enforce the terms). Any license effected through the Marketplace is subject to the terms of the Standard License Agreement in effect at the time of the transaction (the current version, which Legacy may change from time to time, is set forth here), including the accreditation requirements in favor of Legacy, unless Legacy or the Seller provides an overriding custom license agreement. Sellers acknowledge that removing a Contribution from the Marketplace does not affect any license(s) granted to Buyers prior to the removal of the Contribution. Sellers will not make Content ID claims (or issue similar takedown requests) on third-party platforms against Buyers that have obtained sufficient license rights to use Seller's Contributions unless Buyers violate the limitations of the applicable license terms.
Please note that Legacy's Services for Marketplace Contributions do not include any legal opinion or clearance of third-party rights (other than cover song licensing of downloads from our Site). Legacy is not liable for any dispute between Seller and Buyer regarding the terms of the Standard License Agreement or any use of a Contribution according to its terms.
8. Custom Licensing Services
For songs not available for licensing through the Cover Song Licensing service, or for commercial uses outside the scope of the Marketplace Standard License Agreement, Legacy offers Custom Licensing services. For an additional charge, Legacy will provide consultation and assistance to submit your licensing request directly to the copyright proprietor(s). Custom licensing can be challenging because, under the Copyright Act, the copyright owners maintain total control of their works. This means they can set any fee, take all the time they need, and reject the licensing request outright. For this reason, it is important to manage your expectations.
Many factors affect the response, including budget, use and even the current workload of the copyright holder's processing department. For this reason, Legacy does not guarantee licensure in whole or in part for any custom request, and we also do not guarantee timing, or even that you will receive a response from the copyright holder. All Custom Licensing fees paid are final and are not eligible for refunds. This includes the upfront fee plus any additional fees paid upon acceptance of a license agreement.
When requesting Legacy's licensing services, you agree and warrant that you will provide accurate information, including song title(s), songwriter(s), publisher(s), track length and any other information requested, for the song(s) that you wish to license. Legacy is not responsible if licenses cannot be obtained, if the incorrect license is obtained, or if you pay insufficient publisher royalties as the result of inaccurate information in license requests.
You agree to limit your use of the songs you license to the format(s) and number of copies that you request Legacy to license on your behalf. Because you are asking Legacy to acquire a specific number and type of licenses, we must emphasize that any use of the song(s) in any format(s) or numbers of copies which are not requested and licensed is a violation of these Terms of Use and may also violate the rights of the applicable publisher or copyright holder.
For example, if you request mechanical licenses for 100 digital downloads that you intend to offer for download or sale, you are not authorized to reproduce the musical compositions in physical or ringtone format without further licensing. In addition, you are not authorized to produce or sell more than 100 digital downloads. The 101st digital download requires an additional license. It is your responsibility to ensure that additional mechanical licenses are requested BEFORE you offer the 101st digital download for download or sale. If you get to that point, contact us, and we will set you up for the additional units needed.
9. Refund Policy
You agree to read and accept our Refund Policy each time before making a purchase. Our refund policy is available online here: https://www.easysong.com/about/refund-policy.aspx

11. Violations of Terms of Use

In such event, you also agree to indemnify Legacy against any claim by such licensors or other third party in accordance with section 11 below.

15. NO PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
No information provided in these Terms of Use, on the Site, or during phone conversations with Legacy representatives should be construed as legal, accounting or other professional advice. Legacy does not provide such services and the availability of background information here does not create any professional service relationship. Although Legacy has attempted to clearly and succinctly explain many of the rules associated with licensing musical compositions, none of the information provided here is an adequate substitute for obtaining advice and guidance from a lawyer, accountant or other licensed professional.
16. Third Party Sites
The Site may provide you with access to third party websites, databases, networks, servers, information, software, programs, systems, directories, applications, products or services, including without limitation, linked services (hereinafter External Services).

19. Assignment
Legacy may assign its rights and (where permissible by law) its obligations under these Terms of Use, in whole or in part, to any third party at any time without notice, including, without limitation, to any person or entity acquiring all or substantially all of the assets or business of Legacy. You may not assign these Terms of Use or the rights and duties hereunder, in whole or in part, to any third party without the prior written consent of Legacy.
20. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

You agree, and Legacy agrees, to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA for resolution of any dispute, action or proceeding arising in connection with these Terms of Use. The provisions of this section do not apply to any claim in which Legacy seeks equitable relief of any kind. You acknowledge that, in the event of a breach of these Terms of Use by Legacy or any third party, the damage or harm, if any, caused to you will not entitle you to seek injunctive or other equitable relief against Legacy, including with respect to your content, and your only remedy will be for monetary damages, subject to the limitations of liability set forth in these Terms of Use.

22. Waiver and Amendment
The failure by Legacy to take any action with respect to a breach by you of these Terms of Use does not waive any right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breach.

23. Severability
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be modified so that it is valid and/or enforceable to the greatest extent possible under applicable law. All remaining provisions shall be unaffected and enforceable.
