Who owns an extension?

There are several factors when determining rights or ownership to an extension.

First, let's discuss the basics of ownership relating to songs made in Suno.

• If you are a paying subscriber to Suno, then you own the songs you generate while subscribed to Pro or Premier, subject to your compliance with Suno’s Terms of Service.

• If you are using the Basic (free) version of Suno, we retain ownership of the songs you generate, but you are allowed to use those songs for non-commercial purposes, subject to your compliance with Suno’s Terms of Service.

An extension, however, will have elements created by either yourself or another creator.

• If you made the original work that you are now extending from, the above details apply.

• If you did not make the original work, you should not assume rights of ownership to the material, as some elements may be protected.

  • Lyrics: If the original work contained lyrics written by the user, you should not use the work without crediting the original user.

  • Uploaded audio: If the original work contains uploaded audio, the original user has agreed that they have the exclusive right to the material before it was uploaded.

In the case of extending someone else's song, it may not be possible to detect if protected works have been used. As such, if you did not create the original work you are extending from, we advise against assuming ownership, attempting to monetize, etc. Similarly, if your extended song started while using the Basic plan, we would also advise against assuming ownership, as the original material was generated with the intention of personal, non-commercial use.

If you have any additional concerns about rights or ownership, we recommend seeking legal advice from a qualified attorney in your region specializing in music business.
