Fees
What is a Fee?

Fees are included in periodic Royalty Statement payments and may or may not be recouped by offsetting them against the amounts earned by the Rights-Holder from digital, physical, performance, mechanical, live music, tours, or merchandising revenue.
Until the amounts have been recouped, no additional royalties will be paid to the Rights-Holder. For more information, click the link to learn more about Royalty Recoupments.
