How can we help?
For creators
Do I keep my video?
Yes. You keep ownership of your video. We arrange licenses for it.
Still unsure? Email hello@northlicense.com and we'll help.
Back to the offer ↗What is the deal?
One exclusive deal. While it runs, only we sell licenses for your video. You keep the copyright forever and can keep posting it on your own accounts.
Still unsure? Email hello@northlicense.com and we'll help.
Back to the offer ↗What do I earn?
55% of what the buyer pays, after the deductions below. No sale is guaranteed. You are paid when a buyer pays.
Still unsure? Email hello@northlicense.com and we'll help.
Back to the offer ↗When do I get paid?
Within 14 days of the buyer's payment reaching us. If you are owed less than $20, we hold it until it reaches $20, then pay it.
Still unsure? Email hello@northlicense.com and we'll help.
Back to the offer ↗What do you subtract?
Sales tax or VAT we pass to the government. Refunds we actually return to a buyer. The card or payment fee on that sale, at cost. Tax we are legally required to withhold, with a receipt. Only on money from YouTube Content ID: the Content ID partner's cut, never more than 30%. Only on money we recover from someone who used your clip without a license: outside legal costs, never more than 30%. Nothing else.
Still unsure? Email hello@northlicense.com and we'll help.
Back to the offer ↗Can I stop?
Cancel free in the first 30 days after your clip goes live. Once it has been live 6 months, leave any time with 30 days' notice. Licenses sold before you leave keep running, and you keep getting paid on them.
Still unsure? Email hello@northlicense.com and we'll help.
Back to the offer ↗Is the deal forever?
No. Unlike some agencies, this deal never turns into ownership of your video, and it is not forever.
Still unsure? Email hello@northlicense.com and we'll help.
Back to the offer ↗What about YouTube Content ID?
We are setting up YouTube Content ID. Once it is running, you get the same 55% of that money, after the Content ID partner's cut.
Still unsure? Email hello@northlicense.com and we'll help.
Back to the offer ↗For YouTube channels
What does a clip cost?
$39 per clip. Buy 25: $35 each. Buy 100: $29 each. Credits never expire.
Still unsure? Email hello@northlicense.com and we'll help.
Back to the clips ↗Where can I use it?

Still unsure? Email hello@northlicense.com and we'll help.
Back to the clips ↗Can my published videos stay up?
