Learn how MoosBox licensing work
MoosBox works with a direct licensing model. The tracks included in our catalogue are cleared for public performance in commercial spaces, including shops, restaurants, gyms, hotels, offices and multi-location businesses.
This means you can play MoosBox music in your premises without paying PRS for Music or PPL again for the tracks covered by our service.
Every customer receives licence documentation that can be kept on file and shown when needed, giving your business a clearer and simpler way to manage background music legally.
For legal and licensing details, see our Legal Protocol and FAQs. MoosBox only covers the tracks included in the MoosBox catalogue and does not cover Spotify, YouTube, radio, mainstream music services or third-party music sources.
When you use the MoosBox catalogue in your business, the music is already covered by our direct licence.
That means no additional PRS for Music or PPL payments are required for the tracks included in the MoosBox service.
Unlike Spotify, YouTube, radio or mainstream music services, MoosBox is built specifically for commercial use. You get curated background music, licence documentation and a simple dashboard to manage one or many locations.

1. Do I need PRS for Music or PPL if I use MoosBox?
2. Is MoosBox legal for UK shops and restaurants?
3. What happens if I get inspected by PRS for Music or PPL?
4. Does the MoosBox catalogue take the UK Online Safety Act into account regarding explicit content?
Yes. Although this does not constitute a formal certification under the UK Online Safety Act, MoosBox applies editorial controls to its catalogue and selects music content with careful attention to its suitability for commercial spaces, retail, hospitality and environments visited by different audiences.
For the United Kingdom and for customers who require an even more cautious profile, MoosBox can apply “clean” selection criteria aimed at avoiding tracks with explicit, violent or context-inappropriate lyrics.
This measure concerns the editorial selection of the music catalogue and does not replace any specific obligations that may apply to the customer depending on the nature of their own service, website, online platform or digital activity.
