Rates for "institutional" sites

These rates apply to sites designed to present professional business and/or goods and services, except for business trading in protected works from repertoires managed by SESAM, covering the use of 100 works, of any type, per month.

Requirements

• Individuals: you are presenting professional business or a money-making activity
  (e.g. as an architect, displaying both your know-how and designs on your site. This is considered to be business or an exercise in promotion which is part of your professional activity).

OR

• Not-for-profit organizations: the site generates revenue, either directly or indirectly (subscriptions, advertising, sponsorship, merchandising etc.)
  (For example, if you set up a fan club with a paying subscription to a newsletter; or if you have a museum with an on-line boutique selling copies of works, promoted on your Web site).

OR

• Business: the site presents the company and/or products and services available, with e-commerce facilities (except for trade in protected works from repertoires managed by SESAM)
  (e.g. as a car manufacturer presenting cars, you have set up a site for mail order and have used works protected by copyright to illustrate your site).
• If you do not meet all these requirements or if you intend to use the works for purposes not presented on this site, please contact SESAM for information on the conditions applying.

Rights granted through SESAM licensing

By meeting the requirements and paying the rights due, as stated above, SESAM will issue you with a license to use works from the repertoires of ADAGP, SACEM and SCAM, the societies of authors represented by SESAM for:

• reproduction rights, recording works onto a computer for the sole purpose of playing them, not making them available for downloading to other Web users ;
• performance rights, playing works on the Internet or an Intranet.

The license allows you to use the works (see technical definition) for each work you wish to use :

• to illustrate your site.
  A private individual may, for example, use sound as background for a personal Web site; a museum may put a collection on view, or a company may present its business activity via a Web site choosing different works to make the site interesting and attractive.
• for preview listening or viewing, of works intended for the commercial market (retailing by downloading or conventional formats).
  This is the case of a record seller offering customers the option of hearing excerpts of music on-line to help in the choice of the CD to be bought by mail order, or of a site offering a preview trailer of a film before a downloading transaction, or perhaps a preview of a still picture before buying a high definition version by downloading or as a standard format.
