Licensing Guide
Clear, plain-English guidance on what your purchase includes, what personal use covers, and when extra permission is needed.
Buy with confidence, and know exactly what your licence covers
TunePort is designed to make digital music purchases feel straightforward and professional. This guide explains what is included with a standard purchase, what buyers are allowed to do with downloaded files, and when extra permission is required.
In most cases, purchases on TunePort are licensed for personal, private use. That means you can keep the files, enjoy them on your own devices, and return to them whenever you want - but it does not mean the files can be re-uploaded, shared publicly, resold, or used commercially.
Standard purchase includes
Your purchased release is delivered as downloadable audio within the ZIP package.
Cover artwork or related release artwork may be included where it has been provided.
Each purchase is supplied with a private use licence to make the intended usage clear.
What you can do
- - Download and store the files for your own personal use
- - Keep copies on your own phone, computer, tablet, or personal music library
- - Listen privately and offline whenever you like
- - Keep included artwork for your own personal collection alongside the release
- - Re-download your purchase through your account where access is available
What you cannot do
- - Re-upload the files to streaming, sharing, or file-hosting platforms
- - Redistribute or send the files to other people
- - Resell, repackage, or bundle the files for sale or giveaway
- - Use the music or artwork commercially without permission
- - Claim ownership of the release, music, visuals, or branding
Personal use means personal use
A standard TunePort purchase is intended for private listening and personal enjoyment. It is not a commercial licence, a sync licence, a redistribution licence, or a resale licence. Buying a release gives you access to the files for your own use - it does not transfer copyright, ownership, or broad reuse rights.
This protects both the creator and the buyer. It keeps the terms simple, makes expectations clearer, and helps preserve the value of original releases on the platform.
Commercial use
If you want to use music from TunePort in a business, brand, monetised video, public campaign, event, or client project, you should assume that extra permission is required unless the release explicitly says otherwise.
Artwork and visuals
Included artwork is part of the release experience and may be kept for personal use, but it should not be republished, sold, reused in branding, or used commercially without permission.
Creator permissions
All rights remain with the creator unless a release clearly states otherwise. If you need broader usage rights, contact the creator or the platform first and ask before using the files beyond private listening.
Need a different kind of licence?
If you are looking for additional permissions - such as commercial use, promotional use, sync-style usage, brand usage, or something outside standard private listening - get in touch before using the files. Some releases may be eligible for extra permissions, but that should always be agreed clearly in advance.
When in doubt, ask first. That is always the safest route for both you and the creator.
Clear licensing helps everyone
Buyers get confidence, creators keep control of their work, and the platform stays simple and professional. That is the point of the TunePort licensing model - clear access, clear ownership, and no confusion about what a purchase includes.
