How do I change or cancel a SAMPRA licence?

Check the licence terms, then contact SAMPRA with the licence or account number, business name, premises, requested effective date and reason for the change. SAMPRA's application material says users should notify it when the use of sound recordings or business ownership changes.

Ask for written confirmation of the amendment or cancellation and the date charges stop. Closing a streaming account does not automatically cancel a SAMPRA licence.

Use the current SAMPRA FAQ and contact details.

You do not need a separate SAMPRA 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 SAMPRA'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 SAMPRA 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.
