General Provisions
All amounts payable under these tariffs are exclusive of any federal, provincial or other governmental taxes or levies of any kind.

Except where otherwise specified, fees payable for any licence granted by the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN) shall be due and payable upon grant of the licence. Any amount not received by the due date shall bear interest from that date until the date the amount is received.

Interest shall not compound.
Each licence shall subsist according to the terms set out therein. SOCAN shall have the right at any time to terminate a licence for breach of terms or conditions upon 30 days’ notice in writing.
