• These “Commercial Music Library Terms” (the “Terms”) apply to the use of sounds (music and non-music) selected from TikTok’s “Commercial Music Library” (the “CML”), whether via the TikTok mobile app, web application or TikTok Creative Center website. Sounds selected from the CML will be referred to in these Terms as “Commercial Sounds”.
• In addition to the CML being accessible by individual users, the CML and Commercial Sounds are also made available to brands, businesses, commercial entities and advertisers (collectively, “Business Users”) for inclusion in videos for posting on TikTok, which may include, but not be limited to the following types of uses:
• The association of a Commercial Sound with a brand, logo or trademark or other brand identifying characteristics.
• Advertising, marketing, endorsing, sponsoring or publicizing (including so-called paid "hashtag challenges") a product and/or service on TikTok.

These types of uses will be referred to as “Commercial Uses”.

• If you engage in Commercial Uses, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms:
• You may only post or share videos that include Commercial Sounds within TikTok and by using the sharing features made available to TikTok users. Commercial Uses outside of TikTok are not permitted and no rights are granted by TikTok for such uses. Any uses outside of TikTok are subject to you obtaining separate permission and licensing the necessary rights directly from the Commercial Sound rights holder(s). These types of outside uses include, but are not limited to, posting videos on third party digital platforms and inclusion of Commercial Sounds in audio or audiovisual content on television, radio and in theatrical media.
• You are not permitted to make available, distribute, or perform the Commercial Sounds separately from the videos into which you have incorporated the Commercial Sound.
• You are not permitted to use Commercial Sounds in an illegal manner or in any way that violates the rights of third parties, or in connection with any content that is illegal or otherwise violates TikTok’s “Terms of Service” (including any associated “Community Guidelines”). In addition, some of the Commercial Sounds may be subject to additional requirements and/or restrictions, as further specified in the CML. You agree to comply with these additional requirements when you use Commercial Sounds.
• Commercial Sounds are the only sounds made available on TikTok for Commercial Uses. Otherwise, no rights are granted to make Commercial Uses of any other sounds (music and non-music) on or through TikTok.
• With respect to Commercial Uses by Business Users, each such Business User hereby grants to TikTok and its affiliates the right to provide data reporting to the rights holders of the Commercial Sounds used by the Business User in each instance. This data may include the number of views, creations, likes, followers, Business User platform account name, country of the Business User’s home offices and industry in which the Business User operates, the campaign name(s) and Business User’s targeted audience data, which may include, but may not be limited to, gender, personal interests and geo-location. Any data shared by TikTok pursuant to this paragraph will at all times be subject to all applicable privacy and data sharing laws and regulations.
• You (including Business Users) are responsible for any claims and disputes that arise from (i) your failure to adhere to and abide by these Terms, the “TikTok for Business Commercial Terms of Service” or TikTok’s “Terms of Service”; (ii) your unauthorized use of Commercial Sounds (wherever or however accessed); and (iii) your unauthorized, unlicensed use of sounds contained in the General Music Library. In the event of any such claim, including any complaint, investigation, dispute, litigation or arbitration brought against TikTok and/or its affiliates, you shall indemnify and hold harmless TikTok and its affiliates from and against each such claim.
• If you access the CML or Commercial Sounds through the TikTok Creative Center web portal (and not via the TikTok mobile application), you must pay attention and adhere to the "Usable Placements" designation with respect to each Commercial Sound in order to select the appropriate Commercial Sound for your planned use. Commercial Sounds may only be used on designated platforms, which are listed in the “Usable Placements” section of the web portal version of the CML. To use Commercial Sounds in videos on media or platforms other than the platforms listed under “Usable Placements”, you must obtain separate permission from the rights holders, and you are responsible for such permissions and any associated license fees. Any platform not designated under the “Usable Placements” section should be considered not permitted for use of the Commercial Sound in question unless you first obtain the required consents and approvals from the applicable rights holder(s).
• If TikTok, at any time, loses the right, for any reason, to make available a particular sound that was previously available as a Commercial Sound in the CML, TikTok, in its sole discretion, may take down any videos (or any other associated audiovisual content) embodying the Commercial Sound in question or mute the audio so that the Commercial Sound is no longer audible when the video is played. TikTok has no liability to you or any third party with respect to the loss of rights associated with a particular Commercial Sound (and its removal from the CML), or the resulting take down or muting of videos embodying such Commercial Sound.
