Effective date: 17 August 2026
These Terms of Service and Music Licence (“Terms”) govern your use of nokingsmusic.com and your purchase, download and use of music supplied by No Kings Music.
No Kings Music is a trading name of [FULL LEGAL NAME OR REGISTERED COMPANY NAME], of [BUSINESS OR REGISTERED OFFICE ADDRESS] (“No Kings Music”, “we”, “us” or “our”).
You can contact us at:
Email: nkm@nokingsmusic.com
Website: https://nokingsmusic.com
By creating an account, placing an order, beginning a subscription, downloading a track or otherwise using our services, you agree to these Terms.
If you do not agree to them, do not purchase, download or use our music.
In these Terms:
Account means your registered No Kings Music customer account.
Client Project means a finished project you create for a client while you remain responsible for the licensed music.
Free Track means a track made available for download without a purchase price.
Licence means the permission described in these Terms to use a properly obtained track.
Project means a finished production in which a track is combined with other creative material.
Subscription means a recurring monthly or yearly No Kings Music plan.
Track means a music recording, version, edit or accompanying file supplied by No Kings Music.
You means the person or organisation identified as the customer or licensee.
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a contract to purchase music or begin a Subscription.
If you act for a business, charity, organisation or client, you confirm that you have authority to accept these Terms on its behalf.
The person or organisation identified in the order or Account is the licensee.
You may browse and preview music without an Account, but an Account may be required to complete checkout, access protected downloads and manage orders, Licences or Subscriptions.
You must:
provide accurate and current information;
keep your password and Account secure;
notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access;
use only one identity for each Account; and
remain responsible for activity carried out through your Account.
You must not sell, transfer, lend or share your Account.
We may ask you to verify your identity or Account information where reasonably necessary to protect customers, prevent fraud or comply with law.
Our catalogue contains royalty-free music available under a non-exclusive Licence.
“Royalty-free” means that you do not pay continuing usage royalties to No Kings Music for uses covered by a valid Licence. It does not mean that the music has no copyright, is in the public domain or is free of all possible third-party platform, venue, collecting-society or public-performance requirements.
“Non-exclusive” means that other customers may license and use the same Track.
Purchasing or downloading a Track does not transfer copyright, ownership of the master recording or any other intellectual-property right to you.
You obtain a Licence when:
payment for an individual Track is successfully completed;
a Free Track is properly downloaded subject to its stated conditions; or
a Track is properly downloaded while your paid Subscription is active and in good standing.
Adding a Track to favourites, a project list or a shopping cart does not grant a Licence.
Streaming or previewing a sample does not grant a Licence.
Your order confirmation, Account Licence record and Track details are evidence of your Licence. You should retain them with your project records.
Subject to these Terms, No Kings Music grants you a worldwide, lifetime, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use each properly obtained Track in lawful finished Projects.
You may:
use a Track in personal, commercial, monetised, business, charity, educational and Client Projects;
use a Track in videos, films, documentaries, podcasts, advertisements, presentations, websites, social-media content, games, applications and similar finished productions;
use a Track in more than one Project;
use a Track in separate finished Projects for more than one client;
trim, loop, fade, edit or synchronise a Track to suit your Project;
combine a Track with dialogue, voice-over, sound effects, images, video, animation or other creative material; and
allow an editor, employee or collaborator to access the Track only as necessary to produce your licensed Project under your control.
Your Project must add genuine creative or functional material beyond merely repackaging, extending or redistributing the Track.
You may use a properly licensed Track in a finished Client Project.
You remain the licensee and must ensure that your client, employees, editors and collaborators follow these Terms.
A client may use the finished Project, but does not receive ownership of, or a separate licence to extract, redistribute or reuse, the raw Track.
If a client needs to use the Track independently or in a different Project, the client must obtain its own Licence unless No Kings Music agrees otherwise in writing.
You must not:
sell, resell, redistribute, sublicense, lend, share or give away a raw Track;
upload or offer a Track as stock music, production music, a sample pack or a downloadable asset;
make a Track available where another person can extract, download or reuse it separately;
include a Track in an editable template, project file or product where customers can access the raw audio;
claim that you composed, recorded or own the Track;
register the Track, or a materially recognisable version of it, with YouTube Content ID or a similar rights-management system;
submit claims against other legitimate users of No Kings Music;
use a Track to train, fine-tune, clone or build an artificial-intelligence or machine-learning model;
create or distribute a music model, voice model, dataset or music-generation service using a Track;
use automated tools, scraping, bots or other bulk methods to harvest the catalogue or download library;
remove embedded rights, ownership or identification information;
use a Track unlawfully or in a way that falsely suggests endorsement by No Kings Music; or
help another person do anything prohibited by these Terms.
Contact us before use if you are unsure whether a planned Project is covered.
Free Tracks remain copyrighted and are not public-domain works.
Unless the relevant product page expressly states otherwise, you must give a clear credit substantially in this form:
Music: “[TRACK TITLE]” by No Kings Music — https://nokingsmusic.com
A Free Track’s product page may contain additional or different conditions. Those product-specific conditions apply alongside these Terms.
If a product-specific condition conflicts with these general Terms, the more specific condition applies to that Track.
Credit is appreciated but is not normally required for a paid Track unless its product page or a separate written agreement says otherwise.
You must not make a false or misleading attribution.
The price shown on the product or checkout page at the time of purchase applies to your order.
Once payment is successfully completed, the Track will normally become available through your Account or the download method shown during checkout.
We may correct an obvious pricing or technical error before supply. If we cannot fulfil an accepted order, we will cancel it and refund the amount paid.
We currently offer monthly and yearly Subscriptions.
Unless the checkout page states otherwise:
a monthly Subscription renews automatically each month;
a yearly Subscription renews automatically each year;
the recurring price and billing interval are displayed before payment;
payment is taken in advance for each billing period; and
the Subscription continues until cancelled.
You authorise our payment provider to take recurring payments using your selected payment method.
You may cancel through your Account where that facility is available or by contacting us. Cancellation normally takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period, and access continues until that date.
Unless required by law, cancelling does not generate a refund for an elapsed or partially used billing period.
We may suspend Subscription access if payment fails, is reversed or remains overdue.
We will provide reasonable notice before a price change affects a future renewal. You may cancel before the new price takes effect.
While your Subscription is active and in good standing, you may download Tracks for genuine use in your Projects.
A Track properly downloaded during an active paid Subscription remains licensed under these Terms after the Subscription ends.
Ending a Subscription does not permit new downloads and does not legitimise:
Tracks obtained after access ended;
automated or abusive bulk downloading;
files shared from another Account; or
downloads made while payment was unpaid, reversed or fraudulent.
Prices are displayed in the currency selected or shown at checkout. Your bank or payment provider may apply exchange-rate or transaction charges.
Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers such as Stripe, PayPal or WooPayments. Their separate terms may also apply to the payment service they provide.
You are responsible for taxes, duties or charges that apply to your purchase, except where we are legally required to collect them.
Tracks are digital content supplied electronically.
Where required by law, we will ask you to expressly request immediate digital delivery and acknowledge that beginning the download may cause you to lose a statutory 14-day cancellation right.
If the required consent or acknowledgement was not properly obtained, your statutory cancellation rights remain unaffected.
For Subscriptions, cancellation rights may differ depending on whether digital content or subscription access has begun at your request. Contact us promptly if you wish to cancel during a statutory cooling-off period.
Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
If a Track is faulty, materially corrupted, unavailable after purchase or not as described, contact us with your order number and Track details.
We may provide a replacement download, repair, price reduction or refund as required by applicable law.
The statement that digital products are ordinarily non-returnable does not remove statutory remedies for faulty, misdescribed or improperly supplied digital content.
Except where required by law or expressly agreed by us:
completed digital downloads are not refundable merely because you changed your mind;
Subscription payments are not refunded for partially used billing periods;
failure to use or download available content does not itself create a refund entitlement; and
dissatisfaction based only on personal taste after previewing a Track does not normally create a refund entitlement.
We will consider genuine technical, duplicate-payment and exceptional circumstances fairly.
To request help, email support@nokingsmusic.com with your order number and relevant details.
We do not guarantee that an automated platform will never mistakenly identify or claim a Track.
If you receive a Content ID or similar platform claim, contact us with:
the Track title;
your order or Licence evidence;
the affected platform;
the relevant URL; and
a copy or screenshot of the claim.
You must not register a No Kings Music Track in a rights-management system or use it to make claims against other users.
No Kings Music or its licensors own or control the copyright and other intellectual-property rights in the website, catalogue, recordings, artwork, branding, text and supporting materials.
Except for the limited Licence granted in these Terms, all rights are reserved.
“No Kings Music” and associated branding may not be used in a way that suggests sponsorship, partnership or endorsement without written permission.
We aim to provide a reliable service but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.
We may maintain, improve, replace or withdraw website features. We may remove a Track from future sale or download where reasonably necessary, including for technical, legal or rights-related reasons.
Removal from the catalogue does not normally end a valid Licence already granted, unless continued use is unlawful or we notify you of a genuine rights issue. If that happens, we will explain the available remedy.
We may restrict or suspend an Account where we reasonably believe there has been:
fraud or attempted fraud;
payment reversal or non-payment;
Account sharing;
automated or abusive downloading;
unlawful use;
infringement of intellectual-property rights; or
a material breach of these Terms.
Where reasonably possible, we will explain the issue and allow an opportunity to resolve it.
Termination does not remove accrued payment obligations or liabilities.
A valid Licence obtained before termination will normally continue, unless it resulted from fraud, payment reversal, unauthorised access or another invalid transaction.
If you are a consumer, nothing in these Terms excludes or limits your statutory rights.
We do not exclude liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability for:
death or personal injury caused by negligence;
fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
breach of rights that cannot legally be excluded.
If you use the service wholly or mainly for business purposes:
we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss;
we are not liable for loss of profit, revenue, business, opportunity, anticipated savings or goodwill; and
to the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from the affected Track, order or Subscription will not exceed the fees you paid to No Kings Music for that affected service during the preceding 12 months.
These limits do not apply where liability cannot legally be limited.
You remain responsible for ensuring that a Track and Licence are suitable for your intended Project, platform and distribution method.
Our website may link to or depend on services operated by other organisations, including payment providers and social platforms.
We do not control third-party services and are not responsible for their availability, content or separate terms.
Your use of a third-party service is governed by that provider’s terms and privacy information.
Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.
You must not misuse another person’s personal information through our website or services.
We may update these Terms to reflect legal, operational, security or service changes.
The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
Changes will not retrospectively remove a Licence already validly granted. Material Subscription changes will take effect only after reasonable notice where required.
Please contact us first so we have an opportunity to resolve your concern.
Email: support@nokingsmusic.com
Include your order number, Account email, Track title and a clear description of the issue where relevant.
If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.
A delay in enforcing a right does not waive that right.
You may not transfer your rights under these Terms without our written consent. We may transfer our rights and obligations as part of a genuine business transfer, provided this does not reduce your legal protections.
These Terms, any product-specific conditions and any separate written agreement between us form the agreement governing your use of the service.
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
If you are a consumer, you retain any mandatory protections provided by the law of the country in which you live and may bring proceedings in any court available to you under applicable consumer law.
If you are a business, the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
