How do I know if I need to purchase a license?
We ask that you consider purchasing a license if:
- our music is the focus of a video or slideshow selection.
- our music is inserted into a pre or post wedding video or slideshow.
- our music is edited or mixed by you or your videographer and not
"naturally" captured.
- you plan to share your video which features our music on social network sites.
We offer two simple video options:
- Bride & Groom option: $5.99 per song used (songs sold separately). This is the common license people use to be able include our music into their beautiful wedding slideshows or videos. This license gives full rights to duplicate the video and share online with friends and family. This license protects T Carter Music from online piracy and unauthorized sharing.
- Professional Videographer option: $19.99 unlimited use for 1 year (Mp3 song download included). This license gives professionals full rights to use our music as many times as they need for clients for up to a full year. If you are a professional videographer, photographer, or have other interests for our music, this is the license for you.
Legally, it's a copyright violation
for anyone to use ANY artists work in this manner (videos, editing, presentations, slideshows, commercials, etc...) without consent from
the artist or label and compensation for the usage upgrade. Even if it's just a personal or "home" video. This
license protects both parties. That is why we offer two simple and
inexpensive licensing agreements to accommodate the one-time user as
well as professional videographers who choose to use our music for their
personal business. Go HERE to choose a video license option that fits your needs.

want...

I'm a Professional Vidoegrapher. Which license can I use?
You can use the Bride & Groom License ($5.99 per song) for a one-time use for the bride & groom's wedding video. You can replicate up to 10 copies for friends and family of the bride and groom. This license does not allow you to use it for your business after this one-time use. You MUST purchase a Professional Use License if you intend to use it more than one time.

your intended use. For instance, mass distribution, broadcast, or
motion pictures are not allowed. These details are covered in the License Agreement. It's pretty straight forward.
Can I get a refund for a License purchase?
No, License Agreements are non-refundable.
