Music reporting of performed Music

Other
Advance notification
If STIM so requests, the Licensee is obliged to notify STIM of planned events in advance. The notification must be submitted at least seven calendar days before the planned event and must include information on the date, venue and location.
Visits
STIM has the right to visit events in order to verify that the Licensee provides correct information about Reporting and music reporting. STIM shall announce visits in advance and the Licensee shall then provide two entrance tickets free of charge.
Provision of premises and responsible organizer
If a Licensee lets premises to a third party (a so-called responsible organizer), the responsible organizer shall normally take out a license. The Licensee must inform STIM that the responsible organizer has used the premises and state the date of the letting. The Licensee must also inform the responsible organizer that they may need to take out a license with STIM. If the responsible organizer does not take out a license when required, the Licensee may be considered responsible for the use of music.
A responsible organizer primarily means the person who holds a permit under the Public Order Act or a permit for the sale of food or alcohol on the premises. Secondly, it means the person in whose cashbook ticket revenues are recorded. Independent ticket agents are not considered responsible organizers if the majority of the proceeds from ticket sales benefit someone else. At free-entry events, the person who has the financial accounting responsibility for the majority of the costs is considered the responsible organizer.
