In case You have executed a direct agreement with a DSP, You must provide the details of each of these in the configuration document that we will facilitate to You in order to distribute the End User Content to the DSP via your contract over the Platform.

 

  1. Obligations

4.1 By accepting these Terms of Service, You assume and undertake, essentially, the following obligations:

 
4.2 Contractual Relationships with DSP. In case You have a direct relationship with DSP, You agree to use your best efforts to include the following provisions in your separate agreements with each of them:

4.3 Loss of Rights. In case you do not have contractual relationships with all DSP, or if at any time during the Term, You reasonably believe that End Users, or any of the labels represented by You, don’t have, or no longer have the rights necessary to authorize DSP to make certain End User Content available, then You are obliged to withdraw, using the mechanisms therefore established within the Platform, authorization for any use of such End User Content in DSP by raising a ‘Takedown Request’. Following such request, SonoSuite shall use reasonable efforts to cease to make available such End User Content on the DSP after SonoSuite’s receipt of such request.

 

  1. Royalties and License Fees

    In case You use SonoSuite’s contracts with DSP, the following articles apply:
    5.1 Payment of License Fees: In consideration of the authorizations and rights granted to SonoSuite hereunder, SonoSuite shall pay to Client, the Royalties and License Fees which are reported and paid to SonoSuite by the DSP according to the conditions established in this Agreement. Client assumes all responsibility for forwarding any such payments to the appropriate related End Users, artists, labels, affiliate labels or sub-labels.

5.2 Reporting: SonoSuite shall make available to Clients monthly and at the latest on the 20th (twentieth) of each month, a detailed royalty statement of sales of the client Content on the basis of the sales information received from the DSP. This statement shall be provided to Client by means of the SonoSuite interface or API; in an Excel, txt or csv format, by email, or any other format in accordance with SonoSuite’s standard business practices.

5.3 Royalties: SonoSuite shall confirm sales amounts to Client monthly and at the latest on the 30th (thirtieth) of each month. SonoSuite shall request an invoice for the confirmed amount to Client and will pay the said invoice in accordance with SonoSuite’s standard business practices. Payments will be made to the bank Account provided by the Client. If the amount owed does not meet a balance of €1000, in principle such balance will be rolled into the following months and added to subsequent invoices.

Any costs, fees, levies or taxes related to Royalty out payments by electronic funds transfer (EFT), will be accounted for and paid by Client.

5.4 In compliance with International Copyright Law, SonoSuite will respond expeditiously to remove or disable access to material from any of these categories that has been distributed using the SonoSuite platform. SonoSuite will in these cases follow its Anti Fraud Policy, which is available in the ‘Legal’ section of each account on the Platform.

5.5 SonoSuite may block and withhold (escrow) Royalties for any Client or End User account that are received in connection with content that SonoSuite believes, in its sole discretion, violates the SonoSuite Service Agreement or the Agreements we have with DSP.

The process of blocking possible fraudulent content or accounts and unblocking these accounts is described in the Anti Fraud Policy.

5.6 SonoSuite will recoup any amounts due to a Client/End User from any DSP for any fraudulent or unauthorized use of the Service by withholding such amounts from future payments.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, SonoSuite shall not be required to pay to the Client any Royalties in respect of End Users or Plays deemed by SonoSuite to be: (A) in breach of SonoSuite’s Anti Fraud Policy; and/or (B) resulting from fraudulent activity, copyright infringement or artificial or unnatural streaming behavior detected by DSP through their internal analysis and/or third party claims. 

Thus, in accordance with SonoSuite’s policy to deter fraud, a penalty of EUR 10 per track will be deducted from Royalties, or otherwise charged to the Client, for its Content that is removed due to fraudulent practices, according to SonoSuite’s Anti Fraud Policy, or for those Plays/Streams/Releases removed by DSP due to fraudulent practices according to their guidelines.

In case of that event, SonoSuite will report to the Client the applicable removed content and any amounts deducted from Royalties or charged as penalties corresponding to those fraudulent practices.
5.7 To the extent any fraudulent and/or infringing activities are determined to be caused by the Client or End Users’ actions, any costs incurred by SonoSuite (including legal fees and expenses) in connection therewith may, in addition to other remedies, be deducted by Us from any future payments due to a Client/End User.

5.8 In the royalty invoicing process, we will report back fraud or any unauthorized activity that we detected to the affected DSP before invoicing to such DSP so they can revise the content, takedown if needed and adjust the amount of royalties to be invoiced by SonoSuite to them on behalf of a Client or End User. In case the content is taken down because of fraudulent activity, we will proceed in accordance with Clause 5.6 above.

 

  1. Fees

6.1 You undertake to pay to Us the corresponding Service Fees, as defined in the Service Agreement.

6.2. On a monthly basis, SonoSuite shall send you an invoice which includes the Service fees according to your selected plan.

6.3 In case a Royalty Administration Fee is applied as a Revenue share, this will be calculated on the basis of the digital revenues processed during the month, multiplied by the applicable Royalty Administration Fee Revenue Share percentage as specified in the Service Agreement.

6.4 In case an invoice for Service Fees or charges for other services related to this Agreement are due for more than thirty (30) days, SonoSuite reserves the right to deduct the amount of this overdue invoice from the Royalties and License Fees paid for compensating said invoice.

6.5 In case Client fails to pay the Service Fees or charges for other services related to this Agreement within five (5) business days of our notice to Client that payment is due or delinquent, or if Client does not update payment information upon our request, SonoSuite may suspend or terminate access to the Service by Client and its End Users.

6.6 All payments to Us shall be made by credit card, paypal or wire transfer, through the designated billing interface we have created for this purpose, where you can, among other things, view your invoices, access your payment history, make payments via secure payment gateways and change credit card information (e.g. upon card renewal). According to the current regulation, You will receive an invoice upon each receipt of payment. We use a third-party intermediary to manage credit card processing and this intermediary is not permitted to store, retain or use Your billing information except for processing payments for Us.

6.7 If You believe a Service Fee invoice is incorrect, You shall pay the undisputed portion of the Service Fee on a timely basis and both will cooperate in good faith to determine if any adjustment is necessary for the remaining amount.

6.8 In accordance with our Anti Fraud Policy and Sections ‘9. Fraud’ and ‘4. Obligations’ of the present Agreement, You may be charged an extra fee, as Administrative Expenses, in case repeated fraudulent activities are confirmed to be held in your Platform, specially but not limited to End Users or Content deemed by SonoSuite to be in breach of SonoSuite’s Anti Fraud Policy and/or activities related to copyright infringement and artificial or unnatural streaming behavior detected by DSP through their internal analysis and/or third party claims.
