Sync Agreement
This page sets out Atex Digital’s position in plain language. It is a working draft pending review by the company’s legal counsel and does not yet constitute the final binding agreement.
What this covers
This agreement governs songs you opt in for synchronisation licensing — use in film, television, advertising, games and similar media.
Opt-in, per song
Nothing is pitched unless you opt it in. Opting in is per song, not per catalogue, and can be reversed going forward.
Revenue share
Sync revenue is shared 50/50. You keep 50%, and you keep 100% of the copyright in the song and the master.
Approval
You are not assigning the right to license your work away. The purpose of opting in is to allow Atex to pitch it and to negotiate on your behalf.
Clearance requirements
A song must be clearable to be licensable. Uncleared samples, undocumented co-writers or disputed splits will prevent a placement regardless of how well the song fits the brief.
Existing licences
A licence already granted for a placement continues on its own terms even if you later opt the song out of future pitching.
Still to be confirmed
Approval rights and timeframes, exclusivity and holdback provisions, the definition of gross versus net sync revenue, payment timing, and governing law must be drafted and confirmed by the company’s legal counsel before launch.
