Eligible SoniqBrand projects can receive professional commercial music certificates that document who the music is licensed to, where the rights apply, what usage is permitted and how the certificate can be verified.
The individual issued certificate is the source of truth for its exact rights, territory, validity and restrictions.

COMMERCIAL
Commercial Use
Commercial usage documented for the approved project and use cases stated on the certificate.
SOCIAL
Social Media
Usage intended for approved social media content when included in the issued license terms.
BROADCAST

TV and radio usage when broadcast rights are specifically granted on the issued certificate.
PODCAST

CORPORATE

Business presentations, internal media and corporate use when specified by the license.
WORLDWIDE
Worldwide Commercial
Commercial rights with worldwide territory when the issued certificate explicitly provides that scope.
EXCLUSIVE
Exclusive Commercial
Exclusive commercial rights only when exclusivity is expressly stated in the individual certificate.
Available rights depend on the individual project and the exact terms of the issued license.
RIGHTS + RESTRICTIONS
A license documents permission and its boundaries.
A professional certificate is useful because it records both sides clearly: what commercial use is permitted and what uses remain restricted or subject to additional terms.
Public guidance explains the licensing system generally. The rights, restrictions, territory, dates and additional terms printed on your individual certificate govern that specific licensed project.
PERMITTED USAGE
What the certificate authorizes
The issued certificate records the commercial uses approved for that musical work, together with the relevant territory and conditions.
RESTRICTIONS
What the certificate controls
Restrictions can limit uses such as unauthorized resale, sublicensing or redistribution as stock music, depending on the individual certificate terms.
