Music Terms

Last updated: 09 October 2026

These ElevenLabs Music Terms (“Music Terms”) govern your (“you,” “your,” or “Customer”) use of the Music Service, whether you use it on its own or as a component of another ElevenLabs Service. They supplement your written agreement with ElevenLabs or, if none exists, the ElevenLabs Terms of Service applicable to you (either, the “Underlying ElevenLabs Agreement”), which gives meaning to capitalized terms not defined here. A reference to a Section is to these Music Terms, and Exhibit A forms part of them. Absent a signed written agreement, you accept these Music Terms by using the Music Service.

1. Music Service.

1.1. Description. The “Music Service” is the ElevenLabs Service that generates and returns Output in the form of sound recordings and the musical compositions embodied in them, based on Input, available through the ElevenLabs dashboard, API, and other interfaces ElevenLabs makes available. Each music model, version, or configuration ElevenLabs makes available is a “Music Model,” and references in these Music Terms to “Output” are to Output generated using a Music Model. For clarity, sound recordings and embodied musical compositions you transmit or provide to a Music Model are “Input” as defined in the Underlying ElevenLabs Agreement.

1.2. Music Models and Versions. These Music Terms apply to each Music Model and to every iteration within its version family, including updates, modifications, patches, subversions, and fine-tunes (for example, v1.1 and v1.5 within the v1 family). ElevenLabs may designate any such iteration as a separate Music Model governed by its own Model-Specific Terms.

1.3. Availability. ElevenLabs may add, substitute, restrict, suspend, or withdraw particular Music Models, feature, or capability, and may apply concurrency, generation, download, or duration limits. ElevenLabs may condition availability on your location, your processing region, your industry or sector, your plan, your workspace configuration, or on acceptance of Model-Specific Terms, where reasonably necessary to address a legal or regulatory requirement or risk or a third-party requirement.

1.4. Fees and Plans. Unless your Order Form provides otherwise, ElevenLabs charges Fees for the Music Service at the rates displayed in the Service interface or on the ElevenLabs pricing page. Rates may differ by Music Model and use case, and certain Music Models, features, and rights are available only on certain plans. If you are a self-serve user not on an Enterprise plan, you may subscribe to or change a plan through the ElevenLabs pricing page or by contacting ElevenLabs. Plan enrollment is restricted to eligible users as set out in the Music Commercial Rights Table (as defined below), and enrollment in a plan for which you are not eligible may result in suspension or termination of your account or loss of Output, Fees, or credits.

1.5. Effect of Plan Changes. If you upgrade to a higher-priced plan, all future use and all Output in your account at the time of the upgrade are subject to the upgraded plan. If you are a self-serve user not on an Enterprise plan and downgrade or terminate, Output remains subject to the plan in effect when that Output was created, and new Output is subject to your then-current plan.

2. Input.

2.1. Prohibited Prompts. You must not submit as Input, or otherwise prompt the Music Service with: (a) any artist’s real name or stage name, whether living or deceased; (b) any songwriter’s real name or stage name, whether living or deceased; (c) any song title; (d) any album title; (e) any music publisher’s name; (f) any record label’s name; or (g) a substantial or distinctive portion of any song’s lyrics, such that a reasonable person would determine the prompt was intended to reference a particular song.

2.2. Rights in Input. You represent and warrant that you have all rights required to submit your Input and to have it processed under these Music Terms, and that neither your Input nor your use of Output will violate any third party’s rights. For clarity, as between you and ElevenLabs, you retain any and all rights in and to your Input and Output, in accordance with your Underlying ElevenLabs Agreement.

3. Output.

3.1. Your Responsibilities. Without limiting the Output responsibility provisions of the Underlying ElevenLabs Agreement, you are responsible for reviewing Output for clearance before using, publishing, or distributing it and for determining whether the Music Service and each Music Model are appropriate for your intended use.  

3.2. Infringing and Harmful Output. You must not prompt or induce the Music Service to generate, or use, publish, distribute, or otherwise deploy, Output that you know or should reasonably know infringes any third party’s intellectual property or other protected rights, or that incites violence, promotes hate speech, glorifies sexual violence or the exploitation of minors, or is obscene or otherwise unlawful.

3.3. Impersonation. You must not prompt the Music Service to generate Output that replicates or mimics the voice, likeness, or identifiable characteristics of any recording artist, living or deceased, in a manner that is likely to be misleading or confusing or to imply a false impression of association or endorsement.

3.4. Marking and Provenance. ElevenLabs may mark Output as AI-generated but does not warrant that any Output carries a watermark or provenance signal, and no marking ElevenLabs applies satisfies your disclosure obligations under applicable law or the Prohibited Use Policy.

4. Commercial Use and Restrictions.

4.1. Media Rights. You may use Output in accordance with the Media Rights for your plan, as set out in Exhibit A (the “Music Commercial Rights Table”). The Music Commercial Rights Table forms part of these Music Terms, and your compliance with the terms and limitations that apply to your plan is a material obligation under the Underlying ElevenLabs Agreement.

4.2. Music Libraries. You must not, directly or indirectly, use Output to compile, create, or contribute to a Music Library, or permit any third party to do so, unless ElevenLabs has expressly authorized that activity in writing. This restriction does not apply to Music Streaming Distribution permitted under the Music Commercial Rights Table, or to storing Output for your own internal use where it is not made available to third parties.

4.3. Model Resale. You must not engage in, or permit any third party to engage in, Model Resale, including offering any Music Model alongside third-party models, unless ElevenLabs has expressly authorized that activity in writing.

4.4. Streaming Distribution. Music Streaming Distribution is permitted only as set out in the Music Commercial Rights Table. Where you or your end users distribute Output on any streaming platform, digital service provider, or content-hosting service, you are responsible for complying with that platform’s policies on the disclosure of AI-generated content, including any labeling, metadata, or tagging requirements.

4.5. Attribution and Trademark Use. Where Attribution is required for your plan under the Music Commercial Rights Table, or where co-branding is required under Section 4.6, ElevenLabs grants you a non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive license to display ElevenLabs’ Trademarks solely to satisfy that requirement, in accordance with the ElevenLabs brand guidelines at https://elevenlabs.io/brand and any other guidelines ElevenLabs provides. That license runs during the term of the Underlying ElevenLabs Agreement and, after it ends, solely as necessary to satisfy a continuing requirement of this Section 4.5 for Output distributed during that term. Except as expressly stated, nothing in these Music Terms grants either party any right, title, or interest in the other party’s trademarks, and all goodwill arising from your use of ElevenLabs’ Trademarks inures exclusively to ElevenLabs.

4.6. Co-Branding. If you are an Authorized Reseller or a Pure-play Music AI Creation Company, you shall prominently co-brand any offering that incorporates or is built upon the Music Service by displaying ElevenLabs’ name, trademarks, and logos alongside your own, which may be in the format of “powered by ElevenLabs” or “ElevenLabs Music,” in each case in accordance with Section 4.5.

4.7. Indie Games. You are responsible for determining whether a game you develop or publish qualifies as an Indie Game and for monitoring its continued qualification. If a game ceases to qualify as an Indie Game, you have 60 days from that date to obtain a plan that permits use of Output in a Studio Game, after which you must stop using Output in that game, except that Output embodied in copies of the game distributed before the end of that period may continue to be used and distributed in those copies.

4.8. Definitions. For the purposes of these Music Terms: 

(a) “Attribution” means providing appropriate credit to ElevenLabs wherever Output or any derivative of it is displayed, distributed, or published, in a form substantially similar to “Created in collaboration with ElevenLabs” or as otherwise approved by ElevenLabs in writing, appearing no less prominently than the immediately surrounding text; 

(b) “Authorized Reseller” means a Reseller that has received ElevenLabs’ prior express written authorization to engage in reselling activities; 

(c) “Indie Game” means a game that, together with all of its versions, editions, and downloadable content, has generated revenue of less than $500,000 since its first commercial release, and that is developed or published by an entity whose revenue from all games was less than $1,000,000 in its most recently completed financial year, in each case measured net of platform, storefront, and distribution fees and of refunds and chargebacks, and including revenue of that entity’s affiliates and revenue from all forms of monetization; 

(d) “Media Rights” means the right to use Output in any digital or non-digital media, including the right to synchronize Output in timed relation to audiovisual content, as set out in the Music Commercial Rights Table; 

(e) “Model Resale” means any resale, repackaging, redistribution, aggregation, or other making available of Music Models through your or any third-party platform or application; 

(f) “Music Library” means any collection of Output, in whole or in part, made available to third parties for those third parties to use, license, download, or incorporate into their content, whether or not for payment; 

(g) “Music Streaming Distribution” means making Output available on a music streaming platform, or authorizing or enabling any third party to do so, whether directly or through a distributor, aggregator, label, or other intermediary; 

(h) “Pure-play Music AI Creation Company” means an entity that develops, operates, and provides access to a software application that uses AI or other algorithmic processes to generate sound recordings and musical compositions as its primary commercial product or service; 

(i) “Reseller” means an entity that engages in Model Resale, including by offering any Music Model alongside third-party models (an entity does not become a Reseller solely by generating and distributing Output through its own product, provided it does not make the Music Models or API access to them available to any third party); 

(j) “Studio Game” means a video game or other interactive or playable experience made available to the public, whether by download, streaming, or within a third-party platform, and commercialized by sale, advertising, or any other form of monetization, but does not include an Indie Game; and 

(k) “Trademarks” means a party’s trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, and domain names. 

5. General.

5.1. Model-Specific Terms. ElevenLabs may issue additional terms for a Music Model (“Model-Specific Terms”), which form part of these Music Terms and are published on the Service-Specific Terms page.

5.2. Updates. ElevenLabs may update these Music Terms, including Exhibit A and any Model-Specific Terms, prospectively. An update that materially reduces your rights takes effect 30 days after ElevenLabs notifies you, and other updates take effect when posted. An update required by law, or that ElevenLabs reasonably determines is necessary to address a legal, regulatory, safety, or security risk, takes effect immediately, and ElevenLabs will notify you of it promptly.
