No. Use it as long as it works for you. Cancel without complications.
Can I pause the service during off-season?

Licensing responsibilities
Meridian licenses the music it supplies. Venue-specific public-performance permissions and collecting-society fees may still be required and remain the operator's responsibility where applicable.
Legal & Compliance
Is this legal for business use?
Ceadaíonn Meridian an ceol a sholáthraíonn sé. D’fhéadfadh ceadanna taibhithe phoiblí a bhaineann go sonrach leis an ionad agus táillí cumann bailithe a bheith riachtanach fós agus, nuair is infheidhme, fanann siad faoi fhreagracht an oibreora.
What about IMRO licensing?
Our model is built for lawful music playback in hospitality. Details are clearly explained before activation.
Do I need separate licenses for different zones?
It depends on the venue structure. With Meridian Professional, this is clearly defined upfront.
What if I already pay IMRO directly?
That doesn't exclude using Meridian Chapters. We help align things without duplication.
Can inspectors verify compliance?
Yes, the system is transparent and can be clearly explained during inspections.

MERIDIAN INSIGHT
The most common complaint we hear about background music: 'It was too loud.'
The second most common: 'We didn't even notice it was there.'
We aim for the second.
