## Reminder guidance for this contract type

### When a music license lapses, the use becomes infringement

A music license grants permission to use a work for a defined term, in defined territories and media. The moment the term ends without renewal, that permission disappears, and any continued use becomes infringement, not a contract dispute. For a brand running a campaign or a platform with embedded sync, that can mean takedowns, claims, and reputational fallout, all triggered by a date no one was watching. Because licenses often define the term relative to a launch or campaign rather than a clean calendar date, they are easy to misjudge. A renewal reminder anchored to each license's term keeps use lawful.

### Royalty reporting is a deadline, not an afterthought

Most music deals tie payment to usage, which means a recurring obligation to report and pay royalties on a set cycle. That reporting window is a contractual deadline in its own right: miss it and you are in breach even though the license is current, and repeated late reporting can give the rights holder grounds to terminate. The data needed to report often lives in another system entirely, so the work has lead time. A reminder anchored to each royalty period, early enough to gather usage data, keeps the commercial relationship and the license itself in good standing.

## Quick answers

Short answers to the questions we get most about reminder extraction.

- **Q:** How does the music license renewal reminder work?
  **A:** Upload your music licensing agreement (a sync, master, or publishing deal) as a PDF or DOCX. We run an AI extraction on the document, find the license term, renewal windows, royalty-reporting cycles, and territory and media rights, and suggest reminder dates for each. You can then start a free Contracko trial to track everything automatically, or note the dates yourself.

- **Q:** Does it track royalty reporting, not just the term?
  **A:** Yes. Music deals usually carry a usage-based royalty statement and payment due on a regular cycle, separate from the license term. Miss the reporting window and you breach the agreement even while the license is live. The tool surfaces each royalty cycle alongside the term and renewal dates.

- **Q:** What happens after the extraction?
  **A:** You'll see a list of suggested reminders pulled from your agreement, each anchored to the clause it came from. From there you can start a free Contracko trial to track them automatically with email alerts and owner assignments, or just note the dates yourself.

- **Q:** Can it track a catalog of licenses?
  **A:** The free tool reads one agreement at a time. Labels, publishers, and sync agencies managing a catalog use a Contracko trial to keep every license term, renewal window, and royalty cycle in one tracked view across the catalog.

- **Q:** What happens to my contract after I upload it?
  **A:** Your agreement is transmitted over TLS encryption and processed by AI providers under terms that exclude training on your data. If you start a Contracko trial, the file moves into your private workspace and stays there.
