Frequently Asked Questions about billing:
Where do the collected fees go?
The fees will be distributed by Gramex and Teosto to the copyright owners, i.e. music authors, performers, producers and publishers. The cost efficiency of the organisations is best-in-class in the industry: around 90% of the collected money will be directed further. Gramex distributes the fees to the music producers, performers and conductors, whereas Teosto distributes the fees to the composers, lyricists, arrangers and music publishers.
How do I ensure that I will receive the email invoice?
Make sure that your email settings are not blocking the sender or the sender server. The invoices are sent by asiakaspalvelu@musiikkiluvat.fi and the sender email servers are smtp1-1.xenetic.net and smtp2-1.xenetic.net.
Why was I charged twice for the same music licence on my invoice?
Musiikkiluvat charges for the music usage licences on behalf of both copyright organisations on the same invoice. You will be able to see both the Gramex and Teosto prices in the invoice breakdown.
Why do you charge a billing surcharge?
The billing surcharges are based on the cost price. In other words, delivering and administering all invoices involves some costs, such as development and maintenance expenses between systems and third parties. In addition, paper invoicing involves paper and printing costs. Changing the billing surcharge policy enables the expansion of the MyLicence service, as well as the use of new payment methods, such as MobilePay and online banking. Billing surcharges between companies are lawful.
How do I choose MyLicence invoice as the invoice method?
