  • context of the reproduction (e.g. website, touch screen, tour guide)

How the price is calculated

Prices stated exclude VAT. The fee structure is based on the number of works and the more works you use the lower the fee per work becomes. 


All prices are correct at the time of publication and are subject to change. Our members reserve the right to override our standard fees.

We review our licensing prices annually. This allows us to keep in-touch with changes in the industry and technological advances, so we can create relevant and robust licences that benefit both our customers and artists.

Should any price changes affect your industry, we shall notify you at least 14 days in advance.

Duration of the licence

This is an annual licence so a fee is payable each year.

If your use or the format of your use changes, you will need to apply for a new licence. 

Renewing or extending a licence

If you wish to renew or extend a licence you will need to submit a new request. When a licence is renewed it is only necessary to provide the list of those works to be added or removed from the licence.
