Sadie Lynn Holloway Catalog · sadielynnholloway.com
Effective for all licenses purchased on or after August 3, 2026.
This Music Synchronization & Master Use License ("License") is entered into between Christina Archer, doing business as Sadie Lynn Holloway ("Licensor"), and the purchaser identified at checkout ("Licensee"). This License takes effect on the date payment is received ("Effective Date"). The song(s), production, tier, and fee covered by each License are those identified at checkout and recorded in Licensee's receipt and license certificate.
Licensor owns both copyrights in each licensed song: the musical composition (including lyrics written by Christina Archer) and the sound recording (the master). This License grants both rights together in a single agreement — a "one-stop" clearance. No third-party label, publisher, or co-writer approval is required.
Transparency disclosure: Sadie Lynn Holloway is an AI-performed artist project. The lyrics are human-written by Christina Archer; the musical arrangements and vocal performances were generated with AI tools under a paid commercial subscription whose terms assign ownership of the output to the subscriber. Licensee acknowledges this disclosure and that no claim is made that a human vocalist performed the recordings.
Subject to full payment and the tier limits below, Licensor grants Licensee a non-exclusive, worldwide license to synchronize the licensed recording(s) in timed relation with the visual production identified at checkout, and to reproduce, distribute, publicly perform, and publicly display the recording(s) solely as embodied in that production.
Tier scope — the tier purchased determines permitted media:
The fee for each tier is the amount listed on sadielynnholloway.com/licensing.php at the time of purchase. The fee actually paid, and the tier it corresponds to, are recorded in Licensee's license certificate and Stripe receipt.
For single-track licenses, the grant is perpetual for the identified production. For the All-Catalog Annual license, new productions may be commenced only during the 12-month term, but the grant for each production commenced during the term survives perpetually. This License survives any future change in the pricing or availability of Licensor's music.
Where the production format reasonably allows credits, Licensee will include: "Music: Sadie Lynn Holloway (sadielynnholloway.com)". For the Web Commercial and All-Catalog Annual tiers, failure to credit is not a material breach, but Licensor may request credit be added where feasible. For the Extended & Broadcast tier, the credit obligation is a material term of this License.
This License is non-exclusive. Licensor may license the same recordings to others and continues to make the catalog available to the public. Exclusive holds or buyouts are available only by separate written agreement.
Within 24 hours of payment, Licensor will deliver by email a license certificate bearing a unique License ID and high-quality audio files of the licensed recording(s). The certificate is Licensee's proof of clearance and should be retained and furnished to any platform or client that requests it.
Licensor represents and warrants that: (a) she wrote the lyrics of the licensed songs; (b) to her knowledge, and in reliance on the terms of service of the AI music service under which the recordings were generated on a paid subscription, ownership and commercial rights in the recordings vested in Licensor as the subscriber; (c) she has the full right and authority to grant this License; and (d) to her knowledge, Licensee's use as permitted here will not infringe the rights of any third party.
The parties acknowledge that the extent of copyright protection available for AI-generated sound recordings under U.S. law is unsettled. Licensor does not warrant that the sound recordings are registrable with the U.S. Copyright Office. The lyric compositions are human-authored, and Licensee's sole remedy for any rights defect remains as stated in Section 9.
Licensee represents that the production is its own, that it will use the recording(s) only within the purchased tier, and that the information provided at checkout is accurate.
Each party will indemnify the other against third-party claims arising from its own breach of this License. Licensor's total liability under this License is capped at the fee actually paid by Licensee. Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Licensee's sole remedy for a rights defect is a refund of the fee and withdrawal of the affected recording from the production.
Licensor may terminate this License if Licensee materially breaches it and fails to cure within 14 days of written notice. On termination for breach, Licensee must cease new distribution of the production containing the recording(s); copies already lawfully distributed are unaffected.
This License is the entire agreement regarding the licensed recording(s) and supersedes prior discussions. It may be amended only in writing. It is governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. Licensee may not assign this License without Licensor's written consent, except to a successor of the production.
Any dispute arising out of or relating to this License that the parties cannot resolve informally within 30 days will be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or Commercial Rules where the Licensee is a business), before a single arbitrator, seated in Ohio, with the hearing conducted remotely where the rules permit. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party bears its own attorneys' fees unless the arbitrator awards otherwise.
Small-claims carve-out: either party may instead bring an individual claim within the jurisdictional limit of a small claims court in the county of its residence or principal place of business. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property.
Class waiver: disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis; class, collective, and representative proceedings are waived to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Payment of the license fee through the checkout on sadielynnholloway.com/licensing.php constitutes acceptance of this License. A countersigned copy is available on request from SadieLynnHollowayCountry@gmail.com.
