How do I change or cancel a SESAC licence?

Check the agreement for notice and renewal terms, then contact SESAC with your account number, bill-to number, legal business name, premises, requested effective date and reason for the change. Explain whether the business is closing, moving or changing its music use.

Ask for written confirmation of any amendment or cancellation. Stopping a streaming or background music subscription does not automatically end a SESAC agreement.

The official SESAC FAQ explains where account and invoice information can be found.

You do not need a separate SESAC 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 SESAC'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 SESAC 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.
