JACAP Licensing Policies
1. General Conditions
The tariff is published for general information; publication does not constitute an offer to grant a licence. The license fee applicable to any public performance or series of performances will be determined by the Society on the basis of all relevant circumstances. In particular, this tariff is not intended to be exhaustive and for public performances, which in the Society’s opinion fall outside those contemplated below, rates will be quoted on application.
An applicant for a licence must give whatever information is necessary to enable the Society to determine the License Fee, either in terms of this tariff or otherwise as appropriate.
All license fees are charged at the License Fee rate in force at the beginning of the licence year.
