In this article we explain whether there are any additional costs on top of the Brandtrack monthly fee.
The Brandtrack monthly fee covers the licenses necessary for us to legally provide the music ambiance service. However, depending on the country where you operate, there may be additional costs that correspond to your establishment.
What does Brandtrack cover?
Brandtrack obtains the storage licenses necessary to provide its service, covering both copyright and neighboring rights (phonographic producers and performing artists).
What corresponds to the establishment?
The establishment is responsible for obtaining the public communication licenses required by the legislation of its country for playing music in a space open to the public. These licenses are managed by the collective management organizations of each territory and may involve an additional cost.
Depending on the territory, these licenses may be required by one or several different collective management organizations.
Why do these licenses exist?
Playing music in public spaces generates remuneration for music rights holders: authors, composers, phonographic producers, and performing artists. Collective management organizations are responsible for collecting and distributing those royalties according to the legislation of each country.
What happens if my business receives an inspection?
Collective management organizations may verify that establishments using music have the corresponding licenses. In the event of an inspection, you will normally need to prove that you use a properly licensed music provider, through the certificate issued by Brandtrack, and that your establishment has the public communication licenses required in your territory.
