ONE LICENSE
License number: 731270-A
Valid for: 03/14/2020 – Present
What Is ONE LICENSE?
ONE LICENSE is an online music reproduction licensing service that provides access to the music of top Catholic and mainline Protestant publishers and composers. ONE LICENSE also provides downloadable congregational versions of music (also called assembly versions), Podcast/Streaming Licenses, and Practice-Track Licenses. ONE LICENSE also provides its license holders with tools to report the songs they use in each of their liturgies, services, and other celebrations and events each week. Publishers and composers depend on accurate reporting, and we trust that you will do everything in your power to report responsibly. The primary function of ONE LICENSE is to offer an online way for license holders to report usage of works. The secondary function is to offer downloadable files for congregational reprints.
License Terms of Agreement: Annual License
This Annual 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 ONE LICENSE (LICENSOR) for congregational use in religious services by the congregation. Reproduction may be in the form of a bulletin, program, order of service, song sheet, songbook, transparency, 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 made available for sale. If the license expires without renewal, all music in all forms reproduced under this license must be destroyed. These rights extend for one year, renewable annually, and continue only so long as the license is currently in effect. Reproduction rights extend for the period of time designated by the type of license purchased by LICENSEE and continue only so long as the license is currently in effect.
An Annual License is defined as a recurring, yearly subscription to the ONE LICENSE service. ONE LICENSE will inform the LICENSEE of the need to renew their License with sufficient time to avoid a lapse in the rights extended. An Event License is defined as usage for up to one week and applies to conventions, conferences, workshops, revivals, retreats and missions. A Single Use License grants reproduction rights for a single 24-hour period. Event, Single Use, Podcast/Streaming Licenses and Practice-Track Licenses may be purchased separately if LICENSEE has an Annual License.
This License is intended for the reproduction of words and/or music for the congregation only. 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. Excluded from use is a Podcast/Streaming License, which is available separately. 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 example form.
© 2003, ABC Music Co., All rights reserved.
ONE LICENSE, License #A-00000
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 every WORK reproduced under this license by logging on to www.onelicense.net and agrees to carefully follow all instructions given for completing these reports. All reporting must be submitted within three months of use.
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, the LICENSEE agrees to send one copy of its reprints for a specified week to ONE LICENSE. This is to enable ONE LICENSE to monitor compliance with these terms on behalf of its participating publishers. ONE LICENSE agrees to provide the LICENSEE with a list of participating publishers on it’s website, and will promptly inform the LICENSEE of any additions or deletions by email. Finally, no rights other than those specifically stated herein are implied or granted.
