The Seven Day Event License
Seven day license available for single events such as conferences, special meetings, city-wide meetings, crusades, or camp meetings.
Because the Event License is for a shorter period of time, the License Fee is discounted from the Church Copyright License Annual Fee.
The Event License is the same as the Church Copyright License, except:
- The event will run for no more than seven consecutive days.
- Every song reproduced under the Event License must be reported, and every Event Licensee must report.
- CCLI will automatically terminate the Event License at the end of the seven-day period.
Here is a summary of what you have the freedom to do as an Event License Holder:
- Create overhead transparencies, slides, or use any other format where songs are visually projected, such as computer graphics and projection.
- Print songs and hymns in bulletins, programs, liturgies and songsheets.
- Create your own customized songbooks or hymnals.
- Arrange, print and copy your own arrangements, vocal and instrumental, of songs where no published version is available.
The quantity of copies allowed should not exceed the maximum number of your "Church size" category, with the exception that the quantity of tapes duplicated per service should not exceed 15 percent of the "Church size" category.
The Event License does NOT allow you to:
- Photocopy or duplicate octavos, cantatas, musicals, handbell music, keyboard arrangements, vocal scores, orchestrations or other instrumental works.
- Translate songs from English into another language. This can only be done with the approval of the respective publisher.
- Rent, sell or lend copies made under the License to groups outside the church or to other churches.
- Assign or transfer the License to another church or group without CCLI's approval.
All terms are in effect only when the License is active.
