How do I change or cancel a SAMRO licence?

Check the licence agreement, then contact SAMRO with the account or licence number, business name, premises, requested effective date and reason for the change. Explain whether you are closing, moving, changing business activity or stopping one source of music.

SAMRO's licence terms state that a change in the manner or extent of the music use can increase the fee from the date of the change. Ask for written confirmation of any amendment or cancellation.

Use the current SAMRO music user page and application portal.

You do not need a separate SAMRO 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 SAMRO'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 SAMRO 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.
