Questions
What counts as a location?
One physical place where customers hear the music, at one street address. A café with two branches is two locations. A hotel's lobby, restaurant and spa at the same address count as one.
Do I still need a PRO license (ASCAP, PRS, JASRAC and others)?
Tapiros owns its music directly and does not register it with collecting societies, so our license covers background use of our tracks. If you also play music from other sources, those may still need their own licenses.
What happens when my license ends?
Full playback and downloads stop, and you may no longer play the tracks in your business. You can keep files you downloaded, but they're not licensed for commercial use until you renew. Your playlists are saved, and renewing restores everything immediately.
Can I add a location mid-year?
Yes. New locations are charged by the day for the time left on your license, so every location ends on the same date. Checkout shows the calculation before you pay.
Can I switch a location?
Yes. If you move or close a shop, replace it with another address from your account. We keep the history so your records stay complete. Reducing the number of locations takes effect at renewal, and we don't issue partial refunds.
Can I get a refund?
No. Every track can be previewed free before you buy, and licensed members can download the full files straight away, so all sales are final. If you're charged twice or something goes wrong with a payment, email us and we'll put it right.
Do you renew automatically?
No. Each license is a one-time payment for 1, 2 or 3 years. We'll email you before it ends so you can renew in a couple of clicks.
Can I use the music in videos or ads?
Not under the standard license, which covers background play in physical locations only. Email us about what you have in mind and we'll put together a separate license.
Running more than 10 locations, or need something different?
Chains, franchises, airports and custom uses. Tell us what you need and we'll reply within two business days.
