These Jingle License Terms (“Terms”) explain how you are allowed to use jingles and custom audio (“Work”) created by Captain HooX (FYC, LLC dba Captain HooX). These Terms are a general overview. Your specific project agreement or invoice may add to or override some details; if there’s a conflict, your signed project agreement controls.
These Terms apply to any person or company that:
Purchases a custom jingle or audio service from Captain HooX; or
Receives a license to use a jingle created by Captain HooX.
Listening to demo tracks on our website or social media does not grant you any license to use them in your own projects.
Unless we explicitly agree in writing to a full buyout, Captain HooX owns all rights, title, and interest in and to the Work, including:
The musical composition (melody, harmony, lyrics)
The sound recording
Any related sound design or production elements
You are purchasing the right to use the Work as described in these Terms and in your project agreement, not the underlying copyright itself.
Once you have paid all agreed fees in full, we grant you a license to use the Work as described below, unless your individual agreement states something different.
By default, we will agree on a license type, media, territory, and term in your quote or contract. Those specific details control your project.
We use simple territory tiers based on where your advertising is primarily targeted:
Local Territory – Advertising primarily targeted to audiences within approximately 50 miles of the ZIP code of the business purchasing the advertising placement.
Regional Territory – Advertising primarily targeted to audiences within approximately 200 miles of the ZIP code of the business purchasing the advertising placement.
National Territory – Advertising primarily targeted to audiences throughout the United States.
Global Territory – Advertising primarily targeted to audiences worldwide.
Because online and digital platforms can sometimes be seen outside the intended target area, incidental or minor reach outside the described territory will not by itself be treated as a breach of these license terms, so long as the ads are primarily targeted as described above.
Your project agreement or invoice will specify which territory tier applies and may list particular platforms or channels (for example, radio, TV, streaming ads, social media, websites).
For each project, we will also define:
Media – The types of media where you may use the Work (for example: radio, TV, streaming platforms, social media, websites, in‑store playback).
Term – How long you may use the Work (for example: a fixed number of months/years, or in perpetuity).
If you want to use the Work in new media, for a longer term, or in a larger territory than originally agreed, contact us to discuss an upgraded or extended license.
Unless we give you written permission, you may not:
Resell, redistribute, or re‑license the Work to others.
Claim you created the Work yourself.
Use the Work in a way that is defamatory, hateful, discriminatory, or otherwise unlawful.
Use the Work in connection with content that could seriously damage the reputation of Captain HooX.
Use demo or sample tracks from our website, social media, or reels in your own content without a license.
Using the Work outside of the agreed media, territory, or term may require additional fees and a new written agreement.
All Captain HooX jingles are initiated by us lyrically and musically. We create the original concepts, melodies, and words by hand first. We may then use digital tools and AI‑assisted software to enhance elements of the music, but every jingle is reviewed, edited, and approved by a human before delivery, and your license applies to the final Work we deliver to you.
You are not allowed to publicly use, broadcast, post, or otherwise exploit the Work until all agreed fees have been paid in full. If payment is late or incomplete, any use of the Work may be treated as unauthorized.
The number of revisions and alternate versions (for example, shorter edits or instrumental versions) included in your project will be listed in your quote or contract.
Requests for additional versions, major creative changes, or new campaigns may require a separate agreement and additional fees.
Where practical, please credit the Work as:
“Jingle by Captain HooX”
We may use the Work, your project name, and your logo in our portfolio, website, and social media to showcase our work, unless you and we agree in writing to keep the project confidential.
If you provide us with slogans, scripts, brand names, logos, or other materials (“Client Materials”), you confirm that you have the right to use them and to allow us to incorporate them into the Work.
You are responsible for any issues that arise from Client Materials you provide, including any claims that they infringe someone else’s rights.
We aim to create memorable, effective jingles, but we cannot guarantee specific business outcomes (such as sales, views, or audience growth). Results depend on many factors outside our control, including your product, marketing strategy, and budget.
We may update these Jingle License Terms from time to time. When we do, we’ll change the “Last updated” date above. The version that applies to your project is the one in effect when you approve your quote or sign your agreement, unless we both agree in writing to adopt a newer version.
If you need a different type of license (for example, a full buyout, additional territories, or a different term), or if you have questions about how you can use your jingle, please contact us through the contact form on our website at https://CaptainHooX.com.
