All music, sound recordings, compositions, artwork, logos, graphics, videos, text, and other content published on teminite.com (“Content”) are the exclusive intellectual property of Teminite Ltd and are protected under the following applicable laws:

United Kingdom: Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (CDPA) — including provisions covering sound recordings (s.5A), musical works (s.3), and performer’s rights (Part II)
United States: Copyright Act of 1976 (17 U.S.C.), the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), and applicable state laws
European Union: Directive 2019/790/EU on Copyright and Related Rights in the Digital Single Market and Directive 2001/29/EC (InfoSoc Directive)
International: The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, the WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT), and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT)

All rights in and to the Content are reserved. No Content may be reproduced, distributed, publicly performed, broadcast, synchronised, adapted, or otherwise exploited in any form or by any means without the prior written permission of Teminite Ltd, except as expressly permitted under these Terms.

Teminite Ltd asserts its moral rights in all original works under the CDPA 1988, including the right to be identified as the author of such works (s.77 CDPA) and the right to object to derogatory treatment (s.80 CDPA).

5. CLEARED RELEASES AND RESTRICTED RELEASES

Cleared Releases are songs approved by Teminite Ltd for certain permitted non-commercial uses as described in Section 6 below. Most Cleared Releases can also be licensed for commercial use; contact licensing@teminite.com for details. The current list of Cleared Releases is published on teminite.com and may be updated at any time without notice. You should verify the current status of a release before any use. Prior use of a release that has since been reclassified does not constitute a licence for ongoing or future use.

Restricted Releases are songs released on a label or in collaboration with a third party whose rights are controlled in whole or in part by external rights holders. Teminite Ltd cannot grant usage licences for Restricted Releases directly. If you wish to use a Restricted Release, contact us at licensing@teminite.com and we will endeavour to connect you with the appropriate rights holders. The current list of Restricted Releases is published on teminite.com.

Remixes and Covers created by Teminite Ltd of third-party works are not included in either category and cannot be used, downloaded, or licensed under any circumstances. The rights to these recordings are not ours to grant. Any use of these recordings requires a separate licence from the original rights holders.

6. PERMITTED NON-COMMERCIAL USES — CLEARED RELEASES

Subject to the conditions below, Cleared Releases may be used without a licence solely for the following non-commercial purposes:

Personal listening and private enjoyment
Non-monetised gaming videos, Let’s Plays, and gameplay recordings where the music is incidental to the content and not the primary draw
Non-monetised livestreams where the music is incidental to the content and not the primary draw
School, college, or university projects for educational purposes only
Non-monetised social media content where the music is incidental to the content and not the primary draw

All non-commercial uses must credit the music as: Teminite — [Song Name]

For the avoidance of doubt, content in which Teminite’s music is the primary subject matter — including but not limited to lyric videos, audio uploads, reaction videos, or compilations — is not permitted under this non-commercial licence regardless of monetisation status.

7. PROHIBITED USES — ALL RELEASES

The following uses are prohibited for all releases, whether Cleared or Restricted, unless you hold a valid written licence from Teminite Ltd or the applicable rights holder:

Commercial or monetised use of any kind, including but not limited to monetised YouTube videos, advertisements, brand content, films, television programmes, video games, podcasts, or any content generating direct or indirect revenue
Uploading full songs, lyric videos, standalone audio, or any substantially complete reproduction of a recording to any platform including Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud, TikTok, or any other streaming or distribution service
Remixing, sampling, interpolating, or incorporating any portion of a release into another musical work
Distributing, selling, sublicensing, or commercially exploiting any release in any format
Removing, altering, or obscuring any copyright notice, watermark, or metadata embedded in any audio file
Any use of a Restricted Release without prior written permission from the applicable rights holder
Any use of a remix or cover created by Teminite Ltd of a third-party work

8. YOUTUBE AND CONTENT ID

Non-monetised YouTube videos using Cleared Releases are permitted under the non-commercial licence in Section 6. You may receive a Content ID copyright claim on any video using Teminite’s music. A Content ID claim is not a copyright strike and will not affect your video’s visibility or your channel’s standing in any way. The sole effect of a claim is that the video cannot be monetised.

Do not dispute a Content ID claim unless you hold a valid licence from Teminite Ltd. Disputing a claim without a valid licence may result in the claim being escalated to a formal copyright takedown notice, which can result in a copyright strike against your channel.

Monetised YouTube videos require a licence prior to publishing. Licences are granted on a case-by-case basis. Contact licensing@teminite.com with the link to your video, your channel size, and details of how the music is used.

9. COMMERCIAL LICENSING

All commercial uses of Cleared Releases — including but not limited to monetised YouTube videos, sync licensing, broadcast, games, film, television, advertising, and any other revenue-generating purpose — require a written licence from Teminite Ltd obtained prior to use.

All licences carry a minimum fee of $100 USD per song. Final pricing is determined on a case-by-case basis taking into account the nature of the use, audience reach, and commercial context.

To request a commercial licence, contact licensing@teminite.com with details of your project, the track(s) you wish to use, your estimated audience reach, and your budget.

10. SYNC, BROADCAST, GAMES, FILM, AND TV

All synchronisation, broadcast, and commercial licences for use in games, film, television, advertising, and other audiovisual works are handled individually. Contact licensing@teminite.com with full details of your project including the track(s) required, your budget, estimated audience reach, and company size.

11. CUSTOM COMMISSIONS

Teminite Ltd is available to create original custom music for films, games, brands, and other projects. Commissions are subject to schedule availability and start at a minimum of $15,000 USD. Contact licensing@teminite.com with your project details.

12. REMIX CONTESTS AND STEM LICENSING

Where Teminite Ltd makes stem files or other production assets (“Stems”) available in connection with a remix competition or similar promotional event, the following terms apply.

Licence granted to entrants

Teminite Ltd grants each eligible entrant a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Stems solely for the purpose of creating an original remix or rework (“Submission”) for entry into the applicable contest. This licence does not permit any other use of the Stems, including commercial release, public distribution, or incorporation into any other project, without prior written consent from Teminite Ltd.

Rights in submissions

By entering a remix contest, each entrant:

Warrants that their Submission is an original work and does not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party
Warrants that they are the sole author and owner of all original elements of the Submission
Grants Teminite Ltd a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive licence to use, reproduce, distribute, publicly perform, display, and promote the Submission for purposes related to the contest, including promotional and marketing activities, without further consent or compensation
Acknowledges that Teminite Ltd retains full ownership of the original Stems incorporated in the Submission and that no rights in the Stems are transferred to the entrant
Acknowledges that winning or placing in the contest does not constitute a release or commercial licence of the Submission unless separately agreed in writing with Teminite Ltd

Stem distribution restrictions

Stems made available for contest purposes must not be:

Redistributed, re-uploaded, or shared with any third party not participating in the contest
Used in any commercial project, release, or monetised content
Incorporated into any AI training dataset or used to develop, train, or fine-tune any machine learning or artificial intelligence model
Retained or used after the contest submission deadline for any purpose other than personal archival

13. STREAMING AND EMBEDDED CONTENT

Music streamed via embedded players on teminite.com (including via Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube, and Bandcamp integrations) is made available solely for personal, non-commercial listening purposes. Streaming does not convey any licence, ownership, or right to download, reproduce, or otherwise exploit the streamed content beyond personal listening, except where a Free Download is expressly offered.

Third-party platform embeds are subject to the terms of service and end-user licence agreements of the respective platforms. We are not responsible for the terms, availability, or content policies of those third-party services.

14. THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND SERVICES

The Website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, and services including but not limited to Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, and Discord. These links are provided for your convenience only.

We have no control over the content, privacy practices, or availability of any third-party website or service and accept no responsibility or liability for them or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them. The inclusion of any link does not imply our endorsement of the linked site or service. We encourage you to read the privacy policy and terms of service of every third-party website you visit.

16. AI AND MACHINE LEARNING RESTRICTIONS

All Content on teminite.com, including but not limited to music, sound recordings, compositions, artwork, and any associated materials, is expressly excluded from use in connection with artificial intelligence or machine learning systems. Without limiting the foregoing, you may not:

Use any Content to train, fine-tune, or develop any AI or machine learning model
Scrape, crawl, or systematically collect Content for inclusion in any AI training dataset

17. CHILDREN’S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION (COPPA)

The Website is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 in accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) (15 U.S.C. §6501 et seq.) and the UK Age Appropriate Design Code.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Teminite Ltd shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage, or system failure, arising out of or in connection with:

This limitation applies whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even if Teminite Ltd has been advised of the possibility of such damage.

As teminite.com is a free-to-access website with no paid transactions, we do not limit our liability to any monetary amount. The above exclusions reflect the nature of the Website and are considered reasonable in the circumstances.

Informal Resolution.

The parties shall engage in good faith negotiations for a period of at least 30 days before either party may initiate formal proceedings.

Exceptions. Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts of England and Wales to prevent irreparable harm, particularly in relation to intellectual property infringement.

Consumer rights. If you are a consumer resident in the United Kingdom or European Union, nothing in this dispute resolution clause affects your statutory right to bring a claim before the courts of your country of residence.

22. GOVERNING LAW

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.
