# Can I license this song for a TV show or a commercial?

 
Trackout / Stems licence

 Not permitted 

 
On the Trackout / Stems tier, licence it for tv, film or an advert is not permitted as these agreements are ordinarily written. Sync requires clearance from BOTH the recording and the composition. Even on an exclusive, the producer typically still controls a share of the composition, so a sync deal usually needs their signature as well as yours.

 

 
## What to check in your agreement

 
Whether sync is granted at all, and who must sign to clear the composition.

 
## The same question on every other tier

 Licence tier | Licence it for TV, film or an advert | 
 Free (tagged) | Not permitted | 
 Basic (MP3) | Not permitted | 
 Premium (WAV) | Not permitted | 
 Unlimited lease | Depends on the contract | 
 Exclusive rights | Depends on the contract | 
 

 
## What this tier is

 
You get the separated stems, so you can genuinely mix it. Rights are still a lease and still non-exclusive. Typical price: $80–200.

 
Scope limit. This models the STANDARD form of each tier. Any individual agreement overrides it. Where a cell says 'depends', the answer is genuinely contract-specific and no general resource can resolve it.
