ALL RATES IN PERPETUITY EXCEPT FOR USE WITHIN A CAMPAIGN (SEE BELOW DEFINITION).


Defined Terms

Advert Plus - clears a Track for use within a single advertisement allowing unlimited Revisions, cut-downs and tag ending changes.

All Media - clears the relevant unit (per 30 second unit (or part thereof), or per Track), for use within all media whether now known or hereafter devised, including but not limited to TV, radio, online, physical product, theatrical, or public location.

Campaign - clears a Track for use within all related advertisements of a similar or developing theme for a single product, allowing unlimited Production Variations, Revisions, cut-downs and tag ending changes. Restricted to the relevant medium (All Media, TV Ads/Sponsored Idents, Radio Ads, Online & Mobile or Other Ads) and for a term of up to 12 months’ duration. The rights in each
advertisement made are cleared in perpetuity; to continue making new advertisements using the same Track after the term has expired will require a new licence.

Production Variation - a change (such as to visuals or duration) made to the content of any one production within an advertising Campaign, for example a Campaign with a continuing or developing narrative or storyline.

Revision - a minor cosmetic change to an advertisement, largely unnoticeable to the viewer.

Track – an entire song including rights in the musical work, sound recording and artist performance.

PRS Licence Services that are making the licensed production available over the internet or via mobile networks will also need to have an appropriate PRS licence covering the performing right.
