7343 S. Mason Ave., Chicago, IL 60638
License Terms of Agreement
This License grants the Church or Religious Institution (LICENSEE) the nonexclusive rights to reproduce certain words, i.e., sung lyrics, and music (WORKS) owned or administered by the participating publishers in OneLicense.net (LICENSOR) for use in religious services by the congregation. Reproduction may be in the form of a bulletin, program, order of service, song sheet, song book, transparency, an audio or video podcast from the customers website or by electronic storage and retrieval system for the projection of words and/or music. Reproductions may not be permanently bound into a commercially purchased worship aid.
These rights extend for one year, renewable annually, and continue only so long as the license is currently in effect. Also available is an "event" license which extends for up to one week and applies to conventions, conferences, workshops, revivals, retreats and missions, and a "single use" license which grants reproduction rights for a single 24-hour period. If the license is allowed to expire without renewal, all materials reproduced hereunder, including "permanent" songbooks or hymnals, must be destroyed.
This license is intended for the reproduction of words and/or music for the congregation in the pews. Specifically excluded are choir parts, accompaniments, or instrumental parts of any kind. Additionally, no choral music (octavos) may be reproduced, except that part of the work that may be identified in the score as intended for congregational singing. If, however, the congregation customarily sings in parts, the standard hymnal-style four-part version may be printed.
These rights include the permission to record (audio or video) the worship service solely for distribution to the homebound among the membership of the LICENSEE.
No material reproduced or recorded under this license may be sold, rented, or distributed for any form of remuneration/gift/donation, direct or indirect. No material reproduced or recorded under this license may in any way be disseminated outside the boundary or membership of the LICENSEE.
The LICENSEE agrees to reproduce all WORKS as they are found in the original publisher's editions, including the title, name of the author, name of the composer (as applicable), and the copyright notice in the following form:
© 2003, ABC Music Co., All rights reserved.
OneLicense.net License #A-700000
The LICENSEE also warrants that it will not in any way alter the words, music or fundamental nature of a WORK without the permission of the copyright holder.
The LICENSEE agrees to report each and every WORK reproduced under this license via the internet by logging on to OneLicense.net or by using the paper form provided for this purpose by the LICENSOR, and also agrees to carefully follow all instructions given for completing these reports.
The LICENSEE further agrees to comply with all the terms of this agreement, including the understanding that all rights are suspended and/or cancelled if the annual renewal fee is not paid prior to the expiration date, or until such fee is paid.
Upon request (on a random basis up to four times per year), the LICENSEE agrees to send one copy of its reprints for a specified week to OneLicense.net via surface mail. This is to enable OneLicense.net to monitor compliance with these terms on behalf of its participating publishers.
FOR PODCAST LICENSE HOLDERS:
PODCAST OPTION: The Podcast License requires the purchase of an Annual License in addition to the Podcast License. The list of publishers who allow their WORK to be Podcast is different from the list of publishers who allow their work to be reprinted under an Annual License. Check the list of member publishers to see who participates in the OneLicense.net Podcast License.
LICENSEES who purchase the Podcast License are required to report all music Podcast under this license on the OneLicense.net website, including instrumental settings or other music that may not be reprinted in a congregational bulletin or projected on a screen.
This Podcast License includes a cap on the number of downloads permitted under this license. This cap is equivalent to three times the size of the average weekly attendance of the congregation's Annual License. If you need a larger number of downloads, you must upgrade to a larger Annual License.
The Podcast License only covers Podcasts of live worship services. No use of commercial masters or publisher-owned recordings is covered.
The Podcast License covers music from our list of Member Publishers. Certain liturgical content, including scripture readings, will require permission directly from the copyright holder of this material.
With the Podcast License, you should report any music that is Podcast from our Participating Publishers (such as instrumental settings), even if you do not need to reprint the music in your bulletin or project it on a screen.
The Podcast must include the following words at the end of the Podcast OR on the website containing a link to the Podcast: "Permission to Podcast the music in this service obtained from OneLicense.net."
The LICENSEE is required to remove the Podcast no later than one year after first posting the Podcast on the internet.
OneLicense.net agrees to provide the LICENSEE with a list of participating publishers, and will promptly inform the LICENSEE of any additions or deletions by email, or surface mail if requested.
OneLicense.net will also inform the LICENSEE of the need to renew their license with sufficient time to avoid a lapse in the rights extended.
Finally, no rights other than those specifically stated herein are with implied or granted.
