About this document

A Master Use & Synch License Agreement Template is a legal document that grants permission to use a specific sound recording (Master Use) and its underlying composition (Synch License) in audiovisual content such as films, TV shows, advertisements, or video games. This agreement outlines the terms under which the rights holders—typically the record label and music publisher—authorize a third party to synchronize the music with visual media. The template includes key details such as usage scope, territory, term, fees, credit requirements, and rights granted, providing a standardized starting point for negotiations while ensuring legal protection for all parties involved.
