YEARS 1996 TO 2006

GENERAL PROVISIONS

All royalties payable under this tariff are exclusive of any federal, provincial or other governmental taxes or levies of any kind.

Tariff No. 19

FITNESS ACTIVITIES AND DANCE INSTRUCTION (1996-2006)

For a licence to perform, at any time and as often as desired in the years 1996 to 2006, any or all of the works in SOCAN's repertoire, in conjunction with physical exercises (dancercize, aerobics, body building and other similar activities) and dance instruction, the annual fee for each room in which performances take place is $2.14 multiplied by the average number of participants per week in the room, with a minimum fee of $64.

No later than January 31 of the year covered by the licence, the licensee shall file with SOCAN a statement estimating the average number of participants per week for each room in which performances are expected to take place during the year, together with the payment of the estimated fee.

No later than January 31 of the following year, the licensee shall file with SOCAN a report setting out the actual average number of participants per week for each room in which performances took place during the year covered by the licence. Any monies owed shall then be paid to SOCAN; if the fee due is less than the amount paid, SOCAN shall credit the licensee with the amount of the overpayment.

SOCAN shall have the right to audit the licensee's books and records, on reasonable notice and during normal business hours, to verify the statements rendered and the fee payable by the licensee.
