The Distributor may also (but is in no way obliged to) give effect to the currency conversion of some or all Pooled Funds on an earlier day using any foreign exchange rates available to the Distributor on that day in order to facilitate an early distribution of your Artist Income. Regardless of the foreign exchange rate obtained to give effect to the conversion of Pooled Funds, you agree that your Artist Income will be treated as having been converted at the Average Bank Retail Spot Rate at the time the Pooled Funds were converted by the Distributor. You agree that if there is a margin (the “Distributor’s Margin”) between the various foreign exchange rates obtained to convert the Pooled Funds and the Average Bank Retail Spot Rate applied in determining the conversion of your Artist Income, then the Distributor may retain the Distributor’s Margin. In part consideration for your use of the Digital Distribution Service, you irrevocably transfer and assign to the Distributor any right that you may have in any Distributor’s Margin in connection with the conversion of Pooled Funds;
• the Distributor will use reasonable endeavours to ensure the Net Distribution Receipts to be distributed to you are available for collection through your Account in Australian Dollars (or such other currency as agreed by the Distributor and you from time to time) on or before the fifteenth day of the calendar month immediately following the calendar month during which your Artist Income was collected by the Distributor.

Writer Approval

The Publisher will obtain your prior written consent in respect of each of the following:

• any material alteration to your Composition (except where such alteration is to ensure the accuracy of the Composition across Digital Service Providers);
• the creation of compilations or samples of your Compositions or the grant of licences for such purpose;
• the use of Marketing Materials (provided that any such Marketing Material Delivered by you to the Publisher shall be deemed approved for use in connection with the publishing of your Compositions through the Publishing Service); and
• the grant of One-Stop Licences, including opt-ing the Composition in to such libraries; and
• the grant of licences in relation to the Synchronisation Rights.

Term

• If you Deliver a Composition to the Publisher for publication through the Publishing Service, that Composition will be subject to an Initial Term.
• Upon expiry of the Initial Term, unless removed in accordance with clause 2.4(c), each Composition shall automatically renew for the Renewal Term.
• You may opt out of a Renewal Term for a Composition by providing written notice to the Publisher at least thirty days prior to the end of the then-current Renewal Term.
• You may remove a Composition from the Publishing Service only at the end of the Initial Term or a Renewal Term, provided you have given notice in accordance with clause 2.4(c).
• During the Initial Term and any Renewal Term for a Composition, the rights granted under clauses 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 will operate on an irrevocable and exclusive basis in respect of that Composition.
• For the avoidance of doubt, the Minimum Publishing Period operates severally in respect of your individual Compositions, not jointly in respect of all of your Compositions. For example, if you Deliver Composition “A” on 1 January 2020 and Composition “B” on 1 July 2020, then the Minimum Publishing Period for Composition “A” shall be from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020 and the Minimum Publishing Period for Composition “B” shall be 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021.

3. YOUR INCOME AND CHARGES

Payment of Income

You authorise the Publisher and its Service Providers to:

• deduct from your Writer Income and pay to each Service Provider all fees, costs, charges or other expenses incurred for you, or on your behalf, by the Publisher or its Service Providers in connection with these Publishing Conditions;
• deduct and pay from your Writer Income to the Publisher all Publishing Charges incurred in connection with these Publishing Conditions by you;
• deduct and pay from your Writer Income any expenses, bank and similar transfer fees, currency conversion costs and charges, transaction taxes and other deductions; and
• distribute the Net Publishing Receipts to you (provided the minimum balance exceeds AU$10).

Publishing Charges

The Publisher is entitled to, and you must pay, the Publishing Charges as provided hereinbelow without set-off, counterclaim, withholding or deduction and by any method the Publisher reasonably requires (which may be by deduction from your Writer Income):

The Publisher reserves the right to change the Publishing Charges in its absolute discretion at any time. Subject to any applicable law, by continuing to use the Publishing Service after the change takes effect, you will have accepted the changed Publishing Charges.

Account Management

You acknowledge and agree that:

• the Publisher is not required to keep your Writer Income separate from its own money or any other monies;
• your Writer Income will be pooled into an interest-bearing account with the Writer Income from other parties that use the Publishing Service until you withdraw such funds. You agree that you will not receive interest or other earnings on your Writer Income that the Publisher handles as your agent and places in such a pooled account. In consideration for your use of the Publishing Service, you irrevocably transfer and assign to the Publisher any right that you may have in any interest that may accrue on your Writer Income held in such pooled account. In addition to, or instead of earning interest on such pooled account, the Publisher may receive a reduction in fees or expenses charged for banking services by the banks that hold your Writer Income;
• your Writer Income will be received by the Publisher from a range of sources in pooled amounts (the “Pooled Funds”) with writer income from other parties that use the Publishing Service, at various times and in various currencies. You authorise the Publisher as your agent to give effect to currency conversions of Pooled Funds into Australian Dollars (or such other currency as agreed by the Publisher and you from time to time) at any time on the first Business Day of the calendar month immediately following the calendar month during which the Pooled Funds were collected by the Publisher using any foreign exchange rates available to the Publisher on that day. The Publisher may also (but is in no way obliged to) give effect to the currency conversion of some or all Pooled Funds on an earlier day using any foreign exchange rates available to the Publisher on that day in order to facilitate an early distribution of your Writer Income. Regardless of the foreign exchange rate obtained to give effect to the conversion of Pooled Funds, you agree that your Writer Income will be treated as having been converted at the Average Bank Retail Spot Rate at the time the Pooled Funds were converted by the Publisher. You agree that if there is a margin (the “Publisher’s Margin”) between the various foreign exchange rates obtained to convert the Pooled Funds and the Average Bank Retail Spot Rate applied in determining the conversion of your Writer Income, then the Publisher may retain the Publisher’s Margin. In part consideration for your use of the Publishing Service, you irrevocably transfer and assign to the Publisher any right that you may have in any Publisher’s Margin in connection with the conversion of Pooled Funds; and
• the Publisher will use reasonable endeavours to ensure the Net Publishing Receipts to be distributed to you are available for collection through your Account in Australian Dollars (or such other currency as agreed by the Publisher and you from time to time) on or before the fifteenth day of the calendar month immediately following the calendar month during which your Writer Income was collected by the Publisher. In the event that the Publisher is unable to ensure the Net Publishing Receipts are available for collection by this day, the Publisher will do all things reasonably necessary to ensure the Net Publishing Receipts to be distributed to you are available for collection through your Account in Australian Dollars (or such other currency as agreed by the Publisher and you from time to time) on or before the last day of the calendar month immediately following the calendar month during which your Writer Income was collected by the Publisher.
