How do I change or cancel a PPL licence?

Check whether the agreement is direct with PPL or part of TheMusicLicence. Then provide the account number, business name, premises, requested effective date and reason for the change.

Ask for written confirmation of the amendment or cancellation. A move, closure or change from background to live music can affect the tariff, and stopping a music service does not automatically cancel the licence.

Use the official PPL licensing page or TheMusicLicence site for the current contact route.

You do not need a separate PPL 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 PPL'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 PPL 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.
