What you may do with a Little Dance Fans license, how long it is valid, and where the limits lie.
This English version is a convenience translation; the German version prevails.
As of 11 July 2026
1. Subject Matter of the Contract
Little Dance Fans (hereinafter the "Provider") grants the customer, upon acquisition of a license, a simple, non-exclusive and non-transferable right of use of the licensed music tracks for the uses set out in Clause 4 within the licensed field of use. The licensed field of use results from the order and the license certificate (e.g. a single location, a property or a named establishment).
2. Serial Number and Certificate
Each license comes with an individual license certificate as a PDF with a unique serial number, the licensed tracks and the term. The certificate serves as proof of the granted rights and must be presented on request.
3. License Period and End of Use
The license applies for the calendar year stated in the certificate (1 January to 31 December in each case), optionally for two consecutive calendar years. If a booking is made for a future calendar year, the current year's song catalog may be used free of charge until 31 December of the current year. Upon expiry of the license period, the right of use ends unless the customer renews the license. From that point on, no new performances, posts or publications using the tracks may be created; the customer ceases ongoing playback and deletes the provided files, including any copies and backups made. Content published during the license period, such as social media posts, videos or website content, does not have to be deleted and may remain online. Renewal is possible at any time by purchasing again.
4. Permitted Use
Within the term and the licensed field of use, the customer may use the tracks for the own purposes of its business, namely for:
- Public performance
- Background music
- Hotel and business premises
- Restaurants
- Bars
- Spas and wellness areas
- Fitness areas
- Hotel rooms and accommodation units
- Events
- Internal presentations
- Websites
- Social media
- Advertising
- Promotional and image videos
- Hotel TV
- Digital signage
This includes mini-disco and children's entertainment, kids' club, pool and beach area, and on-site stage and show programmes. For videos, presentations, advertising and screen displays, the recordings may be combined with images and text, shortened, and faded in and out; further editing such as remixes requires a separate agreement. Also permitted is the making of internal copies and backup copies for the customer's own use within the scope of this license.
5. Prohibited Use
Without a separate written agreement, the following are prohibited in particular:
- Resale of the tracks as a music product
- Sublicensing to other companies
- Uploading to streaming services under the name of the licensed business, such as the hotel
- Use in broadcasting (radio and television), including advertising spots; hotel TV remains permitted
- Registration as the customer's own work
- Registration with GEMA, PRS, SACEM or any other collecting society
- Use for creating a new music model, for example by training AI systems
- Passing on to third parties outside the licensed business, such as the hotel operation

6. Creation of the Tracks and GEMA Status
The idea, concept and lyrics of all tracks originate from Little Dance Fans. Composition and audio recordings are produced using artificial-intelligence systems and are editorially selected, reviewed and compiled by the Provider.
The tracks are licensed exclusively through the Provider to its customers and are not part of the repertoire administered by GEMA. The licensed tracks are not registered with GEMA or any other collecting society by the licensor, unless expressly stated otherwise. Neither the Provider nor any persons involved in the creation are members of GEMA or any other domestic or foreign collecting society. Beyond the one-time license fee, the customer owes the Provider no royalties.
As proof towards collecting societies, the license certificate with serial number, track list and term (Clause 2) serves this purpose. Upon request, the Provider issues the customer a supplementary repertoire confirmation for submission to GEMA.
Note: These statements relate exclusively to the licensed tracks. If the customer additionally performs other repertoire, or if blanket or overall agreements with collecting societies exist, the customer reviews the resulting reporting and remuneration obligations on their own responsibility. The foregoing statements are statements of quality (Beschaffenheitsangaben); no guarantee in the legal sense is assumed.
7. Violations and Termination
In the event of a serious violation of these License Terms, in particular against the prohibitions listed under Clause 5, the Provider is entitled to terminate the license without notice for good cause. Upon the termination taking effect, the right of use ends; the customer ceases use and deletes the files. Further statutory claims remain unaffected.
8. Library Updates
Updates and additions to the licensed content (library updates) are included within the license period, insofar as they concern the licensed tracks. There is no entitlement to specific future content.
In addition, the General Terms and Conditions apply. Information on withdrawal is provided in the Right of Withdrawal notice.
