What our licence includes
Your subscription brings the original catalogue together with our permission for the business uses included in your plan. You do not buy a separate licence from us for every track you select or each play. Your plan states the subscription term and included use before purchase.
Our licence does not mean the music is free of charge, that every use is allowed or that local requirements disappear. In some countries, a collecting society may also bill venues for playing recorded music; the conditions for your country say whether that applies and what to do. Background music in a venue, a fitness class, an advertisement and a downloadable product are different uses. Your offer needs to say which ones it includes.
Do I need a music license for my store?
A business that plays music to customers needs permission for that music. Personal streaming accounts don’t provide it. When you play only the Open Hours catalogue, our licence for ordinary background use at your venue is included in your plan.
The conditions for your country, including any local collecting-society requirements, are shown before checkout and in the subscription terms. Music from other sources, such as radio or a personal streaming app, needs its own permission.
Start with the way your business uses music
Tell us where the music will play, the type of business and the spaces it needs to cover. A shop floor, a hotel lobby and an instructor-led class can raise different questions. The language you browse in does not determine the country or use of your licence.
Your subscription record identifies the covered catalogue, venue, permitted use and period. The local commercial terms explain relevant conditions and requirements alongside the price before you subscribe.
How the catalogue is made
Escalera Labs generates the catalogue in-house with AI, in its own music production workflow. Technical checks support publication, while rights and country/use conditions are maintained centrally for the catalogue source. Identified defects or rights issues can lead to an individual recording being withdrawn.
Escalera Labs S.L. retains and licenses the catalogue. Your plan covers our recordings within its stated scope, rather than unrelated commercial recordings, a personal streaming library or songs obtained from another provider.
Clear scope before you subscribe
Create an account, then add your business name and venue country. Available plans show the price, billing period, venue and stream allowance, with links to the applicable commercial terms before checkout. The pricing page lists the countries with paid offers; contact us about other locations.
If you have a question about a particular country, activity or use, send an enquiry with those details. An enquiry does not itself grant permission for business playback or create a paid plan.
