Transparency

Screen Caps sales upon request.

And what about all the other stores ?

Here you'll have to wait til the end of the quarters (each 3 months). That's when you'll get payment and detailed sales of each store. This semester we're launching an online portal to ckeck all online at any time.

Can i check my sales directly?

No, you can`t .

Will my content shows up under my label name?

Of course.

Diferential fee, what is that?

We decided to give you a diferential fee for Beatport, and for all the other stores. Because we know that beatport takes most of the sales on the market, so this way you can earn some more extra money. We will take you 20% for the Beatport distribution, and 40% for all the other stores.

How much will my label get from my sales?

-Beatport Fees Beatport charge for selling your music an amount equal to forty percent (40%) of any and all “Net Revenue” derived from sale of Masters.

-Beatport may charge an amount that not exeeds 6% in concept of “Allowed Expenses” of Gross Revenue derived from Label’s Content Files/Master(s), shall mean credit card transaction, electronic commerce processing, royalties and content transmission fees payable to or retained by unaffiliated third parties in connection with effecting a transaction or transmission, if any, including without limitation bandwidth and storage fees.

-Our distribution service for Beatport is: 20%

So here you can see it in an example:

Beatport sells 1000 u$d	+ 1000 u$d
Beatport takes 40% and 6% fee	- 460 u$d
=540.00 u$d	= 540 u$d
Miniatura Music charge 20%	- 20%
You’ll get 432.00 u$d	432.00 u$d

For the other stores is similar, but with 40% of miniatura music fee.

When will i have the money in my pockets?

Stores will compute sums due to the Label after the end of each calendar quarter during the Term, and will send us a quarterly statement accompanied with payment in the amount due within thirty (30) days after the end of each such calendar quarter.

From the day we recive the payment from stores ,a quarterly statement accompanied with payment will be sent to you in no more than 30-45 days.

But if you're label don't reach ($200.00 USD):

(a) in any quarter, payment shall be carried forward to the next accounting period in which Label’s share of Net Revenue exceeds such sum.; and

Beatport clause (b) in any two successive quarters, Beatport reserves the right to terminate the Term, at its sole discretion. (this isn't happening really)
