OneMusic New Zealand may believe that your business uses music in a public setting without the relevant permission. Its business categories include places such as shops, restaurants, gyms, workplaces, hair and beauty businesses, accommodation and events.
Check the letter against your business name, premises, use and dates. Ask OneMusic to explain the licence category and the information used to calculate any fee before accepting it.
The official OneMusic New Zealand site explains why business music is licensed and how to apply.
You do not need a separate OneMusic New Zealand licence if you only use MelloJam
If your business plays only MelloJam music through the MelloJam player, you are not using music from the repertoire covered by OneMusic New Zealand's licensing route. MelloJam's original catalogue and the commercial playback rights it controls are included in your MelloJam plan, so you do not need a separate licence from OneMusic New Zealand for the MelloJam playback itself.
A separate non-waivable venue charge can still apply where local law imposes one. Radio, television, Spotify, other recordings, live music, DJs, events, copying and online use are outside the MelloJam plan.
