Conditions on rights - Specific deals to pay out royalties
Deals with your clients are not always simple to apply, certain works have very specific copyright, or can be shared by different clients making things complicated when you have to calculate statements.
To payout these specific terms the system has - Conditions on rights-.
You can create as many as you need and they can rely on any information that you receive in your statements.
Example : when you have a copublished work where you pay both clients, you will make a condition on the information of the account paid.
If the account paid concerns Clients A you will pay him taking your commission and if it's client B you will do the same. In case you don't have that information you will split in half and pay each of them as followed.
The conditions are called in the last column. The contract will follow the conditions, looking at the account paid, and if no information is given in the file, you have a fallback solution to split the money in half to pay both cients.
An other example can be taken on a specific deal with a third party that claims a share if the rights come from a concert in a certain country or from the broadcasting channel :
In this case you would always keep your own publisher's shares except if one of these conditions is true, in which case you would give out part of your share.
