Royalties
For the performance and the communication to the public by telecommunication in a passenger ship, by means of recorded music, at any time and as often as desired in the years 2023 to 2025, of any or all of the works in SOCAN’s repertoire, the royalty payable for each passenger ship is as follows:
- $1.32 per person per year, based on the authorized passenger capacity of the ship, subject to a minimum annual royalty of $78.75.
For passenger ships operating for less than 12 months in each year, the royalty payable shall be reduced by one twelfth for each full month during the year in which no operations occur.
Terms and Conditions
On or before January 31 of the year covered by the tariff, the user shall report the authorized passenger capacity and pay the applicable royalty to SOCAN.
SOCAN shall have the right to audit the user’s books and records, on reasonable notice and during normal business hours, to verify the statements rendered and the royalty payable by the user.
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 1% above the Bank Rate effective on the last day of the previous month (as published by the Bank of Canada). Interest shall not compound.
All amounts payable under this tariff are exclusive of any federal, provincial or other governmental taxes or levies of any kind.
