Why do I need a Jamendo PRO license?

A Jamendo PRO license legally guarantees that the commercial use you will make of the music (background music, video synchronization...) does not entail any fees to performance rights organizations (ASCAP, BMI, PRS, BUMA, SOCAN...).

Simply downloading a track from jamendo.com does not give you sufficient proof that the artist is not a member of a performance rights organization.
By purchasing a Jamendo PRO license, you will receive a certificate that you can present to these organizations' representatives in the event of an inspection.

You must purchase a commercial license in the following cases:

A) Your project is commercial
* A project is commercial if it is available for sale, if its access isn't free, if it comes with advertising, if it was created to promote a business or if you were remunerated for its creation.
* Getting background music for a public place is considered to be a commercial project.

B) Your project does not comply with the rules of Creative Commons
* Creative Commons licenses are subject to various restrictions chosen by the artists, and these restrictions must be respected:
