SOCAN TARIFF 14 — PERFORMANCE OF AN INDIVIDUAL WORK (2018-2024)
Tariff of royalties to be collected by SOCAN in compensation for the right to perform in public, in Canada, musical or dramatico-musical works forming part of its repertoire.
General Provisions
All amounts payable under this tariff are exclusive of any federal, provincial or other governmental taxes or levies of any kind.
As used in this tariff, the term “licence” means a licence to perform in public or to authorize the performance in public of musical or dramatico-musical works.
Except where otherwise specified, fees payable for any licence granted by 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 be calculated daily, at a rate equal to one per cent above the Bank Rate effective on the last day of the previous month (as published by the Bank of Canada). 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.
