OUR CONTRACT

A short, fair and clear contract on agreed terms.

OUR ACCOUNTINGS

On your statement, you will see all the information you could possibly see. Sales figures, source of income, date income earned, how much we received and when. We have no secrets; you will see evidence of every cent we have received on your songs.

OUR WORK

We will drive record companies, societies and all other users absolutely crazy until we have recovered all the income we believe is due to you.

We will protect your copyrights to the best of our ability and we will not authorise their use in circumstances that could be perceived as unsuitable without first seeking your permission.

We will respond quickly and efficiently to your enquiries and any enquiries we receive about your copyrights from societies and users.

We will work hard on the promotion of your copyrights with our specialist A&R team. We have teams of staff dealing with song plugging, film music placement, television and advertising placement and general A&R development.

YOUR PIPELINE ROYALTIES

We are experts at tracing uncollected income in the U.K. and Europe, backdating claims and often obtaining monies that would otherwise have been lost. We check copyright control accounts to ensure that no royalties are lost through error or omission.

YOUR SONGS

If your catalogue includes songs which need to be pitched to recording artists, you will receive a regular detailed list of where your songs have been offered.

YOUR STATEMENTS

All of our royalties are calculated and processed on our IBM AS400 computer using Maestro, the latest state-of-the-art music industry copyright monitoring and royalty processing accounting program, ensuring accuracy.

OUR RATES

Our terms are competitive with all other publishers.

YOUR PAYMENTS

You will receive a statement and royalties within sixty days of the end of each half year.

OUR WORLDWIDE STRENGTH

THE INDEPENDENT MUSIC GROUP has carefully selected its representation throughout the world for integrity, effort and efficiency.

We will only sub-publish your copyrights to publishers we hold in high regard; those that are respected in their territories and those who have a high reputation.

PERSONAL SERVICE

We pride ourselves on the individual attention we give. You will always be able to contact us personally by telephone, e-mail or fax.
