AI Music Licence & Intellectual Property Policy
Last updated: 20.08.2026
This AI Music Licence & Intellectual Property Policy explains the intellectual property status of music generated through NeuroMusic and the rights and permissions that apply to Generated Tracks.
It explains what rights you may have in a Generated Track, what you may do with it, and the contractual licence NeuroMusic provides for tracks generated using paid credits.
This Policy forms part of the NeuroMusic Terms of Service. If there is a conflict between this Policy and the Terms of Service, the Terms of Service will apply unless this Policy expressly states otherwise.
1. What this Policy covers
NeuroMusic allows users to generate music using text descriptions, lyrics, musical concepts and other permitted inputs submitted through the Service.
For the purposes of this Policy:
"User Inputs" means the prompts, lyrics, descriptions, references and other materials that you submit to the Service.
"Generated Track" means a musical track generated through the Service in response to your User Inputs.
"Paid Generated Track" means a Generated Track created using a track credit purchased from NeuroMusic.
"Free Generated Track" means a Generated Track created using a free, promotional or complimentary credit, unless the applicable offer expressly states otherwise.
This Policy concerns the intellectual property and contractual rights associated with Generated Tracks. The processing of personal data in connection with User Inputs and Generated Tracks is described separately in our Privacy Policy.
2. AI-generated music and intellectual property
NeuroMusic uses artificial intelligence technologies and third-party AI models to generate music.
AI-generated music does not necessarily have the same copyright status as music created entirely by a human author. The availability, ownership and scope of copyright and other intellectual property rights may depend on the applicable law, jurisdiction and circumstances in which the music was created.
Under current UK law, copyright protection may apply to AI-assisted works where a human creator contributes sufficient original creative expression. UK law also contains specific provisions for certain computer-generated works created without a human author. The current statutory framework may therefore produce different results depending on the nature of the Generated Track and the human contribution involved.
NeuroMusic does not represent that every Generated Track is protected by copyright in every jurisdiction or that you automatically own copyright in every element of a Generated Track.
Nothing in this Policy is intended to determine the existence or ownership of intellectual property rights in a jurisdiction where those rights are determined differently by law.
3. Your rights in User Inputs
You retain the rights that you own in your User Inputs.
NeuroMusic does not claim ownership of your original lyrics, text, prompts or other materials merely because you submit them to the Service.
You are responsible for ensuring that you have all rights, permissions and authorisations necessary to submit your User Inputs and use them in connection with a Generated Track.
For example, you must not submit lyrics, recordings, melodies, copyrighted material, personal information or other protected material belonging to another person unless you have the necessary rights or permission to do so.
The fact that the Service is capable of processing particular material does not mean that you have the legal right to use that material.
4. Rights in Paid Generated Tracks
Subject to your compliance with the Terms of Service and successful payment for the applicable track credits, NeuroMusic grants you a worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive and royalty-free licence to use each Paid Generated Track for commercial and non-commercial purposes.
This licence is contractual. It applies regardless of whether copyright or another form of intellectual property protection exists in the relevant Generated Track, to the extent that NeuroMusic has the rights necessary to grant the relevant permission.
The licence is intended to give you broad commercial freedom to use your Paid Generated Tracks without paying NeuroMusic additional royalties based solely on your use or monetisation of those tracks.
5. What you can do with a Paid Generated Track
Subject to applicable law and the Terms of Service, you may:
- use the track for personal purposes;
- use the track for commercial purposes;
- reproduce the track;
- download and store the track;
- distribute the track;
- make the track available to the public;
- publicly perform the track;
- communicate the track to the public;
- use the track in films, videos, animations and other audiovisual works;
- synchronise the track with visual media;
- use the track in games, applications and software;
- use the track in podcasts and other audio content;
- use the track in websites and social media content;
- use the track in advertising and promotional materials;
- use the track in monetised content;
- use the track in client projects;
- provide the track to a client as part of a creative or commercial project. A client who receives a Paid Generated Track as part of a creative or commercial project may continue to use the track as part of that project after your work for the client has ended, subject to the terms and scope of the rights granted to the client. This does not by itself transfer ownership of any copyright or other intellectual property rights in the Paid Generated Track to the client;
- release the track through music distributors;
- make the track available on streaming platforms;
- use the track on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and similar services, subject to their respective rules;
- sell or otherwise commercially exploit the track to the extent that you have the rights necessary to do so; and
- combine the track with other content, materials or creative works.
You do not need to pay NeuroMusic additional royalties solely because you commercially exploit a Paid Generated Track.
Unless otherwise stated, you are not required to credit NeuroMusic when using a Paid Generated Track.
6. Can you monetise a Paid Generated Track?
Yes.
Subject to the Terms of Service, applicable law and the rules of any third-party platform or distributor, you may monetise a Paid Generated Track.
This may include:
- advertising revenue;
- streaming revenue;
- revenue from social media platforms;
- monetised videos;
- podcasts;
- games and applications;
- licensing the track as part of a larger creative project;
- client work;
- commercial campaigns; and
- other lawful commercial uses.
NeuroMusic does not claim a share of revenue generated solely from your permitted use of a Paid Generated Track.
However, third-party platforms, distributors, collecting societies or other intermediaries may apply their own fees, commissions, eligibility requirements or revenue-sharing arrangements.
7. Can you release a Paid Generated Track on Spotify and other platforms?
Yes, you may submit a Paid Generated Track to Spotify and other music streaming or distribution platforms, provided that the relevant platform and distributor permit the submission and you comply with their applicable rules.
You are responsible for determining whether a particular platform or distributor accepts AI-generated music and whether it requires disclosure of AI involvement or other information.
NeuroMusic does not guarantee that Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, a digital music distributor or any other third-party platform will:
- accept your track;
- approve the track for distribution;
- monetise the track;
- allow you to register it in a particular way;
- recognise you as the copyright owner;
- recognise you as the artist or rights holder;
- continue to host the track; or
- provide any particular level of royalties, revenue or visibility.
A platform's decision to accept or reject a track does not change the contractual licence granted to you by NeuroMusic.
8. Can you sell a Paid Generated Track?
You may commercially sell a Paid Generated Track or license its use to clients or other third parties, provided that such sale or licence is within the scope of the commercial licence granted by NeuroMusic and applicable law.
You must not represent that you are transferring or assigning copyright or other intellectual property rights that you do not own or have the legal right to transfer. In particular, you must not represent that a third party is receiving exclusive copyright ownership in a Paid Generated Track unless you actually own or have the legal right to transfer those rights. Where applicable law recognises copyright or another transferable intellectual property right in a Generated Track and you are the owner of that right, you may be able to assign or license that right to another person.
Where you only have a contractual licence from NeuroMusic, you cannot transfer or assign rights that you do not own.
Accordingly, you should not represent to a purchaser, client, distributor or other third party that you own exclusive copyright in every element of an AI-generated track unless that statement is legally accurate in the relevant jurisdiction.
9. Exclusivity and uniqueness
NeuroMusic uses AI generation technologies, similar or substantially similar music may be generated for different users.
Another user may independently receive a track containing similar:
- melodies;
- rhythms;
- harmonies;
- arrangements;
- structures;
- sounds;
- musical characteristics; or
- other elements.
Your licence does not give you exclusive rights over general musical ideas, genres, styles, techniques, concepts or characteristics.
You must therefore not represent that your Paid Generated Track is exclusively available to you unless you have a separate legal basis for making that claim.
10. Human creative contribution
The legal status of an AI-generated track may depend in part on the degree and nature of human creative contribution.
For example, a user may contribute original lyrics, musical material, arrangement decisions, editing, selection, sequencing or other creative elements.
Where a user creates original copyright-protected material as part of the creative process, the user's rights in that material are not transferred to NeuroMusic merely because the material is used with the Service.
Under UK Government guidance published in 2026, AI-assisted works may qualify for ordinary copyright protection where the human creator contributes sufficient original creative expression. UK law also currently provides protection for certain computer-generated works where there is no human author.
NeuroMusic does not determine whether your particular creative contribution is sufficient to establish copyright protection. That determination depends on the applicable law and the specific circumstances.
11. Sound recording rights
A Generated Track may also exist in the form of a sound recording.
UK copyright law recognises rights in sound recordings separately from copyright in musical works. The current UK Government discussion of AI and copyright notes that a recording of AI-generated music may benefit from protection as a sound recording regardless of the degree of human input into the underlying music.
The contractual licence granted by NeuroMusic is intended to permit you to use and commercially exploit the Paid Generated Track, including its supplied recording, subject to the Terms of Service, applicable law and any rights belonging to third parties.
The existence or ownership of any separate copyright or related right is determined by applicable law and the circumstances of creation.
12. Free and promotional Generated Tracks
Unless the applicable promotional offer expressly provides otherwise, Generated Tracks created using free, promotional or complimentary credits may be used for personal, non-commercial purposes only.
You may not commercially exploit, monetise, sell, license, distribute for commercial purposes or release a Free Generated Track for commercial exploitation unless the applicable offer expressly grants commercial rights.
If you later purchase credits, that purchase does not automatically convert previously generated Free Generated Tracks into Paid Generated Tracks unless NeuroMusic expressly states otherwise.
The terms applicable to a particular promotional offer may provide additional or different rights, and those terms will apply to the relevant offer.
13. Third-party rights and potential claims
NeuroMusic uses AI technologies that may produce unexpected results.
We do not guarantee that a Generated Track will be free from all similarities to existing music or from all potential third-party intellectual property claims.
In particular, NeuroMusic does not guarantee that a Generated Track:
- does not resemble an existing song or recording;
- does not contain material that could give rise to a third-party claim;
- is eligible for copyright protection;
- can be registered with a copyright office or collecting society;
- can be exclusively owned by you; or
- can be commercially exploited in every jurisdiction.
If you become aware of a credible third-party rights issue concerning a Generated Track, you should obtain appropriate legal advice before continuing the relevant use.
Nothing in this Policy grants you permission to use third-party copyrighted material that you did not have the right to submit or use.
14. Artist names, voices and likenesses
The licence granted by NeuroMusic does not give you permission to use another person's name, voice, likeness, identity, trademarks or other rights.
You must not use a Generated Track to falsely represent that a real artist or performer:
- created the track;
- performed on the track;
- endorsed the track;
- authorised the track; or
- is otherwise associated with the track,
unless you have the necessary rights or permission.
You must also comply with the restrictions concerning impersonation, voice cloning and other prohibited uses set out in the Terms of Service.
15. Registration with collecting societies and rights organisations
Whether a Generated Track can be registered with a collecting society, copyright office, performing rights organisation, mechanical rights organisation or other rights-management organisation depends on the rules of the relevant organisation and the applicable law.
NeuroMusic does not guarantee that any such organisation will:
- accept the registration;
- recognise you as the copyright owner;
- register the Generated Track as a musical work;
- register the Generated Track as a sound recording; or
- pay royalties in relation to the Generated Track.
You are responsible for providing accurate information about the creation and ownership of a track when making any registration or rights claim.
You must not falsely claim human authorship or ownership of rights that you do not legally own.
16. Attribution and disclosure of AI use
NeuroMusic does not currently require you to credit NeuroMusic when you use a Paid Generated Track, unless a specific product, promotion or agreement states otherwise.
However, a third-party platform, distributor, publisher, collecting society, client or other organisation may require disclosure that a track was generated or assisted by AI.
You are responsible for complying with any disclosure or labelling requirements applicable to your intended use.
You must not make false or misleading statements about the origin, authorship, performance or creation of a Generated Track.
17. NeuroMusic's intellectual property
This Policy does not transfer ownership of NeuroMusic's intellectual property to you.
NeuroMusic retains all rights in and to:
- the NeuroMusic name and branding;
- the Service;
- its software and technology;
- its website and interface;
- its systems and workflows;
- its prompts and proprietary methods;
- its databases;
- its documentation;
- its trademarks and logos; and
- the underlying AI technology or third-party technology used to provide the Service,
except where rights belong to a third party.
Your licence to use a Generated Track does not give you any right to copy, reproduce, distribute, reverse engineer, extract or commercially exploit the underlying NeuroMusic technology itself.
18. No transfer of rights in NeuroMusic technology
Purchasing credits or obtaining a licence to use a Generated Track does not:
- transfer ownership of the Service to you;
- transfer ownership of NeuroMusic's software or technology;
- grant you access to NeuroMusic's underlying models or systems;
- grant you a licence to reproduce or distribute NeuroMusic's software;
- grant you rights in NeuroMusic's trademarks; or
- grant you rights to operate a competing music-generation service using NeuroMusic's technology.
Your rights are limited to the rights expressly granted under the Terms of Service and this Policy.
19. Effect of account closure or termination
The licence to a Paid Generated Track that has already been validly granted to you does not expire solely because you stop using the Service or close your NeuroMusic account, provided that:
- the track was generated using validly purchased credits;
- the relevant payment was successfully completed; and
- you complied with the Terms of Service when using the Service.
Closing your account does not by itself revoke a previously granted licence to a Paid Generated Track.
However, NeuroMusic may revoke or otherwise affect rights only where this is permitted by the Terms of Service or applicable law, including where permitted in connection with fraud, unlawful conduct, payment reversal or another circumstance expressly covered by the applicable agreement or law.
Termination of your account does not give you ownership of NeuroMusic's software, technology or other NeuroMusic intellectual property.
20. Changes in law and technology
The legal treatment of AI-generated content is developing and may differ between jurisdictions.
UK law currently contains specific provisions concerning computer-generated works, while the UK Government is continuing to consider potential changes to the copyright framework for AI-generated content.
Accordingly, statements in this Policy about copyright and other intellectual property rights describe the legal framework and contractual rights applicable at the time of publication and are not a guarantee that the law will remain unchanged.
If applicable law changes in a way that affects the rights described in this Policy, NeuroMusic may update this Policy and the Terms of Service accordingly.
Changes will not retrospectively remove rights that you have already acquired except where required or permitted by applicable law or the applicable agreement.
21. No legal advice
This Policy describes the contractual rights NeuroMusic provides and general principles concerning intellectual property.
It is not legal advice and does not determine whether a particular Generated Track is protected by copyright or other intellectual property rights in a particular jurisdiction.
If you intend to make a significant commercial investment in a Generated Track, transfer intellectual property rights to another party, register rights with a collecting society or otherwise rely on exclusive copyright protection, you should obtain independent legal advice appropriate to the relevant jurisdiction.
