Hello, I would like to know if I am wrong about the contract. I have recently been accepted, and after reading the contract I want to know if I understood this correctly: If for any personal reason I cannot sign a contract in 7 days, do I have to pay a fine of at least $20000 usd? Does this mean that I can never take a vacation of more than 7 days? I would like to know the details about it, of course I will not breach any copyright issue, but by signing the contract I am automatically conditioned to check my mail almost everyday for at least 5 years because otherwise I would have to pay a fine of $20,000 usd?
03/29/2022 at 09:58 #2920227Hi,
This fine is only for this situation, if a customer buys high-end music, such as license 4 or license 5.
Since these are big clients and well-known companies, a tripartite contract is required. There is a risk of commercial default if the contract is not signed.
This situation is not very common. If there is a problem, a colleague will usually contact you, so you don’t need to pay special attention to this matter.03/29/2022 at 12:34 #2920310Thanks for your reply.
1- You say that I don’t need to pay special attention to this matter but… I’m signing a legal contract. And after all that means that I can not be 7 days out of my mail, right?
2- If I deal with an illness? If my house catches fire? There are thousands of examples that can take me away from the networks for a while. You say that it is not a very common situation, but after all it is an existing possibility.
For example: If for some reason I get a contract by sony that needs to be signed, and I can’t access networks, let’s say for a month, and you can’t contact me, you are in full condition to file a legal action of at least $20,000 dollars for the non-exclusive contract that I have signed? I really wouldn’t want to expose myself to that.
3- In the contract, in addition to saying that I must sign if the buyer requires it, it says that when 100audio decides that it is important to sign something, I must do so in 7 days. That otherwise I must face the responsibilities ($20,000 minimum) so one thing is what you tell me here, but what has legal action is the contract (beyond the fact that in any case I could file a counterclaim for not receiving the adequate information taking the 100audio obligations of article 7.2)
4- And in any case, it is possible to carry out another contract in which I give you the authorization to sign tripartite contracts of high-end music on my behalf or something of the sort that gives me the legal certainty of not having to face an action legal for not checking my mail for 7 days? Really the only thing that holds me back when signing the employment contract is this simple but complex point.Thank you

In the signing agreement, it is clearly stated that if the purchaser requires you to cooperate in signing the music license agreement, you need to cooperate within 7 working days, otherwise you need to bear the corresponding responsibility.
Of course, if there are force majeure factors such as fire or emergencies as you said, which make it impossible to perform, you can fully communicate with us and negotiate according to the actual situation.
However, if there is an unreasonable long-term delay, which affects the purchasing user, then you need to bear the corresponding responsibility. The deduction of the commission for a single order is already the most basic responsibility.Usually, the documents need to be signed by the person, which is both binding and guarantee for both parties. The authorization to sign on your behalf is only the ultimate alternative. If we sign on your behalf, it means that we will undertake the responsibility of this contract on your behalf.
03/30/2022 at 00:49 #2921141Hello, So if it is possible as a ultimate alternative, I would like to have this option.
Could you send me a contract in which I give 100audio the rights to sign on my behalf? I would like the contract to be very clear and leave no room for misunderstandings. My fear is facing legal action for not signing in 7 days. Therefore I would like something like this:
“When it comes to needing signatures for song licensing sales in a tripartite contract needed by a buyer on the Party B’s website, Party A grants the right to sign on his behalf to Party B, in order to avoid any legal inconvenience produced for not signing within 7 days.
By this way, when a buyer purchases a license of a song created and published by Party A on Party B’s website and a signature is required, Party B will be able to sign on behalf of Party A. Party A will also be notified when his signature is used by Party B”
I will gladly sign your contract if this last alternative can be carried out
I am at your disposal, best regards03/30/2022 at 09:57 #2921323Hi,
If you sign a contract, there will be an additional agreement about your issue, you can check it at that time.
03/30/2022 at 16:16 #2921708Hi,
Okay, am I currently on any list to receive this additional agreement? Will a moderator contact me? Will the additional agreement sended automatically by email after signing? Or what is the process?
I need to see the additional agreement to make sure there is no room for misunderstandings, I supose that there would be no problem reading the the additional agreement before signing the non-exclusive contract. I would not want to accept the contract in which I am conditioned to pay $20000 if I do not sign in 7 days if then the additional agreement is not what I expected, I really need to know what the additional agreement will say.03/31/2022 at 09:48 #2922518Hi,
The main contract and the additional agreement are two files together, and when you download the contract, this agreement will also be there. You can read the content first and then decide whether to sign the contract.
03/31/2022 at 16:12 #2922951Do you mean “Letter of authorization”? I find that it says that 100audio can sign without my permission on contracts named “authorization for audio work.” But what I am looking for is how to give 100audio the right to my signature, as I have previously mentioned, for the Music Authorization 4 – Business” and “Music Authorization 5 – Unlimited” contracts and thus avoid possible sanctions for not signing personally in 7 days.
You told me that this last option is possible, and I want to know how it will be carried out and what that additional agreement will say, so I can give 100audio the right to my signature in the cases of music license 4 and music license 5.Thank you very much.
05/14/2022 at 18:30 #2977085Hello! if I have a license (Exclusive in China 49%) for 100 audio, do I have the right to download the same music on other sites from Scotland, Australia, Singapore also with a non-exclusive license?
05/16/2022 at 10:40 #2978113Hi,skolosyik
What we restrict is within China, the countries you mentioned are not restricted
05/16/2022 at 10:58 #2978152Hi,IcyVibes
