How do I pay the membership fee? Will it be debited from my bank account?

You transfer your first membership fee together with the admission fee directly to us. We offset the following membership fees against your royalties at the end of each year. If your royalties do not reach the amount of the membership fee, please pay the difference between the royalties and the membership fee at the end of the financial year. We do not debit our members’ bank accounts.

Good to know: Royalties for uses which are taking place in the current calendar year are only paid out in the following calendar year.
