Licensing

How you may use the music

Every recording is delivered as the same 320 kbps MP3. What differs is permission. Choose the licence that matches how you intend to listen, work or create.

Last updated 19 August 2026

One licence, one recording

A licence normally covers the single recording you buy it for. Buying a Creator Licence for one recording gives you Creator rights to that recording only; if you would like the same rights for another, please buy the appropriate licence for it too. Collections and future bundles may cover more than one recording where we say so explicitly.

In short

Personal Use is private and non-commercial. Professional Use lets one practitioner, or one business at one physical location, play the music with clients, classes and sessions. The Creator Licence lets you use the recording repeatedly in your own genuinely original digital content, and does not cover work made for third-party clients.

Personal Use

For your own listening and personal practice.

A non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to enjoy one Simply Hypnotic recording privately. This licence is strictly for private, non-commercial use. It applies to the single recording purchased, unless the product you bought explicitly states otherwise, and it is granted to the individual or business named as the purchaser at checkout. Copyright and ownership of the underlying recording remain with Simply Hypnotic at all times.

You may

  • Listen to the recording privately as often as you wish.
  • Download and keep the supplied 320 kbps MP3.
  • Use the recording for your own meditation, relaxation, sleep or personal practice.

You may not

  • Use the recording commercially.
  • Use the recording with paying clients, classes or professional sessions.
  • Include the recording in videos, podcasts, courses or other published content.
  • Redistribute, resell, share or otherwise make the original audio file available to others.
  • Upload the recording to music streaming or distribution services.
  • Register the recording with Content ID or another automated copyright-claiming system.
  • Claim ownership or copyright in the recording.
  • Sublicense, assign or transfer the licence to another person or business.

Purchasing this licence grants permission to use the recording only within the scope described above. It does not transfer copyright or ownership, and it does not grant rights to any other Simply Hypnotic recording. A licence bought for one recording does not automatically apply to another; if you would like rights to a further recording, please buy the appropriate licence for it as well. Collections and future licence bundles may cover more than one recording where this is explicitly stated. The licence is non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide and does not expire. If your intended use is not clearly covered here, please contact us and we will help.

Professional Use

For use with clients, classes and professional sessions.

A non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to play one Simply Hypnotic recording within your own professional practice. It includes all Personal Use rights, and additionally allows the recording to be played repeatedly as background or accompanying music in appropriate professional settings. One licence covers one individual practitioner, or one business operating from one physical location. Additional locations require an additional licence for each. This licence applies to the single recording purchased, unless the product you bought explicitly states otherwise, and is granted to the individual or business named as the purchaser at checkout. Copyright and ownership of the recording remain with Simply Hypnotic at all times.

You may

  • Enjoy every Personal Use right, including private listening and keeping the supplied 320 kbps MP3.
  • Play the recording repeatedly within your own professional practice, as one practitioner or at one business location.
  • Play the recording during meditation, hypnotherapy, therapy and wellbeing sessions.
  • Play the recording in yoga and relaxation classes, workshops and one-to-one client sessions.
  • Play the recording in treatment rooms, spas, studios, waiting rooms and similar appropriate professional environments.

  • Create a competing meditation, sleep, ambient, frequency or stock-music release from the recording.
  • Use the recording at additional business locations without buying a licence for each one.

Professional Use describes permission to play the music in appropriate professional settings. It does not permit the recording to be incorporated into published or distributed content. Simply Hypnotic music is intended to accompany your practice; it is not a medical or therapeutic treatment, and nothing in this licence should be presented as such. Purchasing this licence grants permission to use the recording only within the scope described above. It does not transfer copyright or ownership, and it does not grant rights to any other Simply Hypnotic recording. A licence bought for one recording does not automatically apply to another; if you would like rights to a further recording, please buy the appropriate licence for it as well. Collections and future licence bundles may cover more than one recording where this is explicitly stated. The licence is non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide and does not expire. If your intended use is not clearly covered here, please contact us and we will help.

Creator Licence

Royalty-free use in your own original content.

A non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free licence to include one Simply Hypnotic recording within your own original digital content. It includes all Personal Use rights. There is no fixed limit on the number of your own projects the recording may appear in. Royalty-free means you owe Simply Hypnotic no ongoing royalty for the uses this licence permits; it does not mean the recording is copyright-free. Simply Hypnotic continues to own the copyright. This licence applies to the single recording purchased, unless the product you bought explicitly states otherwise, and is granted to the individual or business named as the purchaser at checkout.

You may

  • Enjoy every Personal Use right, including private listening and keeping the supplied 320 kbps MP3.
  • Use the recording repeatedly in your own YouTube videos, including monetised videos.
  • Use the recording in your own podcasts, guided meditations and hypnosis recordings.
  • Use the recording in your own wellbeing, educational and online course content.
  • Use the recording in your own social media videos and other original digital content that meets the requirements of this licence.
  • Incorporate the recording into genuinely original content that contains meaningful additional creative material, such as substantial original spoken content with the music used as accompaniment.

You may not

  • Redistribute or resell the music on its own.
  • Upload the original recording with only a static image.
  • Upload the recording with only a simple visualiser, looping animation or similarly minimal alteration.
  • Rename the recording and release it as your own music.
  • Release the recording as meditation music.
  • Release the recording as sleep music.
  • Release the recording as ambient music.
  • Release the recording as frequency music.
  • Include the recording in a stock-music library.
  • Include the recording in a sample pack.
  • Sublicense, assign or transfer the recording or the licence.
  • Upload the recording through music distributors such as DistroKid or TuneCore.
  • Distribute the recording to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer or other music streaming services.
  • Register the recording, or content containing it, with YouTube Content ID or another automated copyright-claiming system.
  • Claim ownership or copyright in the underlying Simply Hypnotic recording.
  • Sell, share or distribute the original audio file.
  • Use the recording to train an AI model.
  • Include the recording in an AI training dataset.
  • Use the licence to create content for third-party clients.
  • Use the recording in television, radio, cinema or film.
  • Use the recording in paid advertising campaigns, games, standalone apps, mass-market products or large corporate productions.

This licence is for the named purchaser's own original content. It does not automatically cover content made for third-party clients, and it may not be transferred between creators, businesses, customers, clients or organisations. You may not give, sell, transfer or otherwise provide the underlying Simply Hypnotic audio file to another person or organisation. The recording must be incorporated into genuinely original content containing meaningful additional creative material. A static image over the recording, a simple visualiser, a basic looping animation, a brief spoken introduction followed by substantially the original recording, a token voiceover, a change of title, or minor editing, cropping, looping or pitch changes are not sufficient on their own. The finished content must not act primarily as a substitute for listening to or buying the original Simply Hypnotic recording. Television, radio, cinema, film, paid advertising campaigns, games, standalone apps, mass-market products and large corporate productions require a separate licence from us. Purchasing this licence grants permission to use the recording only within the scope described above. It does not transfer copyright or ownership, and it does not grant rights to any other Simply Hypnotic recording. For example, a Creator Licence bought for one recording gives Creator rights to that recording only; rights to a further recording require the appropriate licence for it as well. Collections and future licence bundles may cover more than one recording where this is explicitly stated. The licence is non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide and does not expire. If your intended use is not clearly covered here, please contact us and we will help.

Royalty-free is not copyright-free

Royalty-free means you owe us no ongoing royalty for the uses a licence permits. It does not mean the music is free of copyright. Simply Hypnotic retains copyright and ownership of every recording at all times, and a licence never transfers either.

Licences are not exclusive

Every licence is non-exclusive, worldwide and does not expire. The same recording is licensed to other listeners and creators. Ownership of the music, and all copyright in it, remains with Simply Hypnotic at all times.

Your terms never change after purchase

We keep a copy of the exact wording that applied on the day you bought a recording, and store it against your purchase. If we later update our licences, your rights stay as they were. You can read your own terms at any time inside your library.
