If an author who is a member of EKKI has given permission for a particular use of his/her work, he/she has the right to receive a proportion of earnings from that use and informs EKKI. In other cases, when a rate is established in the music category, that rate applies to the whole EKKI catalogue. When partial use is made of the EKKI catalogue, other rates can be agreed following the terms and derived rates specified in the Intellectual Property Law.
Permission to make use of the catalogue managed by EKKI is divided into categories. Making use of a category in any way other than that authorised requires specific permission and the conditions established in the previous paragraph will be applied for this specific type of use.
The catalogue which EKKI manages can be used with these rates unless the musical works in question whether with lyrics or not, whether forming part of audiovisual material or not are publicly announced to be part of a specific performance. Therefore, the use of these rates does not permit the use of musical works as part of performances and ones which are broadcast and not announced.
For reduced price or free performances, and if no specific information is provided in these Rates, the rates for the author's rights will be calculated from the percentage for their usage modality, for which a quotation must be agreed upon.
Furthermore, performances for which other tickets have been sold at a rate lower than that required to meet organizational costs will also be considered to be reduced price performances.
When advertising costs and tickets are mentioned in the Rates, they include monetary remuneration in general, and if there is no monetary remuneration, remuneration or compensation in kind between the advertiser and advertising agent will be taken into account. If this cannot be done, it will be calculated following the rates which advertisers and agencies pay for advertising under the same conditions.
In line with article 157.1.b of the Intellectual Property Law, non-profit cultural organizations are given a 20% discount on these rates.
Furthermore, public communication and using devices to play self-produced works, in general, will be linked to EKKI rates but exempted as long as the authors inform EKKI and reach agreements with other possible owners of rights. This will specifically affect the following categories:
Adjusted Quotations: For such ends, expenses which may be subsidised, which are undoubtedly appropriate for the activity in question, which are completely necessary and which are incurred within the stipulated deadline.
Ticket Office Sales: Total earnings from tickets (for people to access the performance area and enjoy it, also when the amount paid includes refreshments or services of any type rendered in that area). Earnings from the ticket office will include all types of contributions, subsidies and sponsorships received by the promoters-organizers, and these are included in the value, amount or price to be remunerated, discounted or paid. VAT will not be included in this calculation.
Ticket Office Sheet: Promoter-organisers will provide EKKI with such a document in order to be able to settle the author's rights, including the mentioned ticket office earnings.

According to the law about authors' rights, conditions and ways of using works of drama depend wholly on the author.
Consequently, if an author gives his/her permission (which is required for any theatrical performance) he/she can require the economic remuneration he/she considers suitable in terms of author's rights.
If an author is represented by EKKI in such as case, the following general conditions will be included in contracts:
The reproduction of musical works in audiovisual works (such as TV series, films, documentaries, ad campaigns ) is also known as synchronization. Express approval from rights holders must be attained, and this might be granted trhough a license.
In a similar manner, a mechanical license corresponds to the necessary license to reproduce phonograms and the interpretations contained therein, accompanying the synchronization.
If you need a license of this kind to use one of the works in EKKIs repertoire, please write to ekki@ekki.eus specifying the work that you desire to syncronize, the type of audiovisual work in which you desire to synchronize it, the duration of the synchronization and its relevance in the final audiovisual work, and any other information that you might consider relevant to the enquiry.
Once this information is received, EKKI will answer with one of the following options: that there is a possibility to grant the license, giving you the rate; that the rights holders have denied the granting of the license; or if you must follow different directions outside of EKKI to be granted the license.
Please remind the following:
