I have a business or run a commercial activity. Can I use Jamendo music for my business ?
Please note that the commercial use of the music (background music of a shop, bar, use for a video, remixing…) depends on the Creative Commons licence selected by the artist. For commercial and free usage, without any payment of Creative Commons music, you need to select the tracks of Artists who have a licence authorizing commercial use of their music. These licences are: CC-BY, CC-BY-SA and LAL (Licence Art Libre). The licences are listed on the bottong of this search page: http://www.jamendo.com/fr/creativecommons/ I you want to access a wider selection of music, please contact us via e-mail: contact@jamendo.com. In the coming week, we will design new programs for our Artists with simplified access to commercial use of a large selection of music.

What if a track does not seem to be under a Creative Commons licence?
If you have a doubt about a song or a track… Despite all our efforts, it can happen that some Members do not understand the Creative Commons licences system and/or we did not see that a problem occurred with the copyright of a music track. In that case, please let us know, we will carry out the necessary verifications and take the right measures.
