Special Conditions
Music Reporting of Performed Music
The licensee must report music usage in accordance with what is stated in the General Terms and Conditions. The obligation to report music applies only in cases where the music has been specifically selected for the exhibition or installation and is a prominent part of the exhibition, as opposed to music used in the background.
Note on the Scope of the License
It is specifically noted that the license does not cover live music. For more information, see Prices and Special Conditions for Live Music.
Other
Advance Notification
If requested by Stim, the licensee is obligated to notify Stim in advance of planned events. The notification must be submitted at least seven calendar days before the planned event and must include information about the date, venue, and location.
Visits
Stim has the right to visit events in order to verify that the licensee provides accurate information regarding Reporting and Music Reporting. Stim must notify of the visit in advance, and the licensee must then provide two admission tickets free of charge.
Venue Lease and Responsible Organizer
If a licensee leases a venue to a third party (a so-called responsible organizer), the responsible organizer is normally required to obtain a license. The licensee must notify Stim that a responsible organizer has used the venue and indicate the date of the lease. The licensee must also inform the responsible organizer that they may need to obtain a license from Stim. If the responsible organizer does not obtain a license when required, the licensee may be held responsible for the use of music.
The term responsible organizer primarily refers to the person who holds a permit under the Public Order Act or a permit for the sale of food or alcohol at the location. Secondarily, it refers to the person whose bookkeeping records the ticket revenue. Independent ticket agents are not considered responsible organizers if the majority of the ticket sales revenue benefits someone else. For free-entry events, the person with financial responsibility for the majority of the costs is considered the responsible organizer.
For further terms, refer to the General Terms and Conditions.
