Public business premises
You are applying for a special arrangement because you have already concluded a one-year licence with Unisono for the use of music in your publicly accessible premises.
You are applying for a special arrangement because you have already concluded a one-year licence with Unisono for the use of music in your publicly accessible premises.
You can immediately use MyUnisono, our handy tool that allows you to manage your licence online.
When calculating the Unisono rate for the use of music in business premises that are not accessible to the public, the number of FTEs will be reduced as a percentage according to the ratio of areas that are not accessible to the public to the total business area (= the total floor area of the company).
The following formula shall be used to calculate the reduced number of FTEs:
((Total floor area - total area accessible to the public) / total floor area) X total number of FTEs = the number of FTEs used by Unisono to determine the rate “Music in the workplace”. The special rate will be applied afterwards to this.
Regarding copyright, the tranche ‘1 to 10’ FTEs of the special rate applies if the reduced number of FTEs is less than 9 FTEs.
If, according to the general rate, you fall in the tranche ‘9 to 10’ FTEs and you obtain a reduced number of FTEs that is less than 9 FTEs, then the tranche ‘9 to 10’ FTEs of the general rate remains applicable for the copyrights, but is reduced by 10%.
