* this fee applies to each use of up to 5 minutes in duration of each Repertoire Work (excluding Commissioned Works, but including all Signature Music) on the Product. Separate uses of the same Repertoire Work (or part thereof) will be aggregated, but uses of different Repertoire Works will not, and a separate fee will be payable in respect of each such use. Each inclusion of any part of a Repertoire Work will be counted, including repetitions. If the aggregate duration of a Repertoire Work used on a Product exceeds 5 minutes, an additional use will be charged for each additional aggregated increment of 5 minutes (or part thereof) of that Repertoire Work.
For the avoidance of doubt:
- Where a Product contains both a Repertoire Work(s) (that is not a Commissioned Work) and a Commissioned Work(s), the Licensee shall pay both fees set out in the above table.
- Where a Product contains Signature Music (i.e. title music) that is a Commissioned work and another Commissioned Work(s) the signature music shall be charged as Repertoire Work in addition to the other Commissioned Work(s) that will be licensed at the rates set out in the above table.
