NCB offers two standard agreements for audio products.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_column_text]NCB’s audio standard agreement (“Sound Carrier Contract”) is generally the appropriate license for record companies that have both a number of current releases and ongoing sales. The standard agreement covers most physical products (e.g. CD, DVD audio, vinyl).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nStandard agreement – Audio<\/strong><\/p>\nIf you hold an NCB standard agreement there are a number of reporting obligations and accounting deadlines that you have to observe. These instances recur every six month (equivalent to an accounting period). However, registration of releases should be made on a regular basis whenever you market a new release.<\/p>\n
The standard agreement may not be suitable for small labels because of the ongoing registration and reporting obligations that are required to comply with the agreement. Besides holders of a standard agreement have to be approved by NCB, provide a financial guarantee and pay monthly advances to NCB.<\/p>\n
