If a Licensee lets premises to a third party (a so-called responsible organizer), the responsible organizer should normally obtain a license. The Licensee shall notify STIM that the responsible organizer has used the premises and state the date of the letting. The Licensee shall also inform the responsible organizer that they may need to obtain a license with STIM. If the responsible organizer does not obtain a license when required, the Licensee may be regarded as responsible for the use of the music.

By responsible organizer is primarily meant the person who has a permit under the Public Order Act or a permit to sell food or alcohol on the premises. Secondarily it means the person in whose cash book the ticket revenues are recorded. Independent ticket agents are not considered responsible organizers if the majority of the ticket sales revenue accrues to someone else. At free-admission events, the person who has the financial reporting responsibility for the majority of the costs is regarded as the responsible organizer.
