Regardless of your plan, you may not:

4 Platform-Specific Terms

4.1 YouTube

All Tracks on Layerhouse are cleared for use on YouTube. Layerhouse will not file Content ID claims against Content containing properly licensed Tracks. If you receive a Content ID claim on properly licensed Content, contact support@layerhouse.io with your license details and we will assist in resolving the claim.

4.2 TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Short-Form Platforms

Tracks are cleared for use in short-form video content. Platform-level music licensing restrictions that exist independently of Layerhouse’s license are outside our control. Creator and Pro plans provide the broadest available clearance.
