Document background
A Sync Licence Agreement is essential when incorporating music into audiovisual productions under English and Welsh law. This document is used when a party wishes to legally synchronize music with visual content, whether for film, television, advertising, or digital media. The agreement covers crucial elements including usage rights, territories, duration, fees, and attribution requirements. It ensures compliance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 and provides legal protection for both rights holders and users. Sync Licence Agreements are particularly important in the current digital age where content is distributed across multiple platforms and territories.
