Royalties and royalty statements

Store reports come in through our distribution partner. We import each report in full and check the total; only then do we allocate the lines to your releases.

Your statement uses the version of your agreement that applied in that period. If there is no agreement yet for a period, we don't settle anything and you'll see that in the portal.

Every royalty statement shows three amounts separately: what the distribution partner retains, what we keep and what you receive. The percentages that apply to you are in your agreement.

A royalty statement no longer changes once it has been published; a correction results in a correction statement, never a silent change.

Reported revenue is not yet money received: your available balance comes only from posted statements. Stores usually report one to three months later; we don't control that delay.

Missing income for a recording? First check whether the period has been settled (Finance → Statements). If so, report it with the ISRC and period; we'll compare it with the original report.
