“Copyright protected and owned by broadcaster. Your licence is limited to private, internal, non-commercial use. All reproduction, broadcast, transmission or other use of this work is strictly prohibited.”
14. A CBRA broadcaster, or CBRA at its direction, may, by notifying a monitor in writing, restrict the use of a CBRA item if the broadcaster believes that this could raise a legal issue or result in liability.
15. (1) If a CBRA broadcaster broadcasts a correction, clarification or similar statement regarding the content of a CBRA program, a monitor, upon receiving a written notice to that effect, shall immediately provide copy of the statement to each government user who had access to a CBRA item derived from that program.
(2) No royalties are payable with respect to any CBRA item in respect of which a statement is supplied pursuant to subsection (1).

(a) the name and address of the monitor;
(b) the name, call letters and network affiliation (if any) of each CBRA signal monitored;
(c) the monitor’s CBRA-related monitoring costs and the royalties attributable to each CBRA signal; and
(d) the monitor’s CBRA-related monitoring costs and the royalties attributable to each CBRA program.
(2) Within 60 days of the end of a year, a monitor shall provide to CBRA, with respect to that year, a list of government users and sufficient information to determine the monitor’s compliance with subsections 5(2) and 7(3).
Errors
18. A monitor who discovers an error in any information provided to CBRA shall promptly provide the correct information.
Reporting Requirements: CBRA
19. (1) Subject to subsection (2), CBRA shall, upon request, provide a monitor with an updated version of the list of CBRA signals set out in Appendix A.
(2) If the information set out in subsection (1) is available on a Web site that is updated at least once a month if required, CBRA may, instead of complying with subsection (1), provide the monitor with the information required to access that Web site.
Records and Audits
20. (1) A monitor shall keep and preserve, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and for a period of six years from the end of the relevant year, accounts and records from which CBRA can readily ascertain the amounts payable and the information required under this tariff including,
(a) the calculation of its CBRA-related monitoring costs;
(b) each time a monitor uses or provides a CBRA item, the name and address of the government user and the call letters of the signal; and
(c) each time a monitor uses or provides a CBRA item, the title of the program, as well as the date, time and duration of the item.
(2) CBRA may audit these records at any time, on reasonable notice and during normal business hours.
(3) If an audit discloses that royalties due to CBRA were understated in any semester by more than 5 per cent, the monitor shall pay the reasonable costs of the audit within 30 days of the demand for payment being made.
Confidentiality
21. (1) Subject to subsections (2) and (3), information received pursuant to this tariff shall be treated in confidence, unless the monitor who supplied the information consents in writing to the information being treated otherwise.
(2) Information referred to in subsection (1) can be shared
(i) to comply with this tariff;
(ii) with CBRA’s professional advisers, if their rules of professional conduct require them to treat the information in confidence or if they agree in writing to maintain such information in confidence;
(iii) with the Copyright Board;
(iv) in connection with proceedings before the Copyright Board, if CBRA has first provided a reasonable opportunity for the monitor providing the information to request a confidentiality order;
(v) to the extent required to effect the distribution of royalties, with a CBRA broadcaster; or
(vi) if required by law or by a court of law.
(3) Subsection (1) does not apply to information that is publicly available, to information obtained from someone other than the undertaking and who is not under an apparent duty of confidentiality to that undertaking or to information that has been aggregated so as to prevent the disclosure of commercially sensitive information.
Adjustments
22. (1) Subject to subsection (2), adjustments in the amount of royalties owed by a monitor (including excess payments), as a result of the discovery of an error or otherwise, shall be made on the date the monitor’s next royalty payment is due.
(2) A monitor may deduct any amount owed to it from its next payments to CBRA until no money remains owed to it.
Interest on Late Payments
23. (1) Any amount not received by CBRA by the due date shall bear interest from that date until the date the amount is received.
(2) Any amount found to be owing to CBRA, through an audit or otherwise, shall bear interest from the date it was due until the date the amount is received.
(3) Interest shall be calculated daily, at a rate equal to 1 per cent above the Bank Rate effective on the last day of the previous month (as published by the Bank of Canada). Interest shall not compound.
Addresses for Notices
24. (1) Anything that a monitor sends to CBRA shall be sent to 467 Fred Street, Winchester, Ontario K0C 2K0, or to any other address of which the monitor has been notified in writing.

Exemptions Regarding Below-Threshold Media Monitoring Costs
27. (1) In this section, “total media monitoring costs” means the monitor’s gross costs for the monitoring, fixation, reproduction, use or provision of any program or signal, as well as for any research or activity that relates to any such program or signal. Those costs include, without limitation: (i) salaries and wages of all staff and managers; (ii) operating expenses, including equipment, leases, rent, office supplies, software leases or licences and telephone and network charges; and (iii) capital expenditures, including computers, video-recorders and other equipment. They exclude applicable taxes, actual out-of-pocket cost for recording media, their labelling and delivery charges, and any amount paid by the monitor to a commercial media monitor acting pursuant to a CBRA licence for any CBRA Item.
(2) Subsections (3) to (7) apply in a year to a monitor who, no later than January 31 of that year, delivers to CBRA a statement certified as accurate and signed by a senior officer of the monitor that, in the officer’s good faith view, the monitor’s total media monitoring costs for that year shall be less than $100,000 and that the monitor wishes to avail itself of section 27 of this tariff.
(3) A monitor who complied with subsection (2) shall provide the information set out in paragraph 17(1)(d) only if the monitor has that information.
(4) Paragraph 20(1)(c) does not apply to a monitor who has complied with subsection (2).
(5) As soon as its total media monitoring costs exceed $100,000 in the relevant year, a monitor who has complied with subsection (2) shall notify CBRA of this occurrence. That monitor shall not be entitled to avail itself of this section for the rest of the relevant year and shall instead comply with the other provisions of this tariff.
(6) A monitor who has complied with subsection (2) and who has not delivered a notice pursuant to subsection (5) shall deliver to CBRA, on or before January 31 of the next year, a statement certified as accurate and signed by a senior officer of the monitor setting out the monitor’s total media monitoring costs for the relevant year.
(7) A monitor who complied with subsection (2) and whose total media monitoring costs for the relevant year exceeded $100,000 may not avail itself again of subsection (2) without the written authorization of CBRA.

(1) A monitor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless CBRA, CBRA broadcasters and their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, licensees and assigns from and against any claim, demand, loss, liability, cost, damage or expense including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees that they may incur if
(a) the monitor breaches any provision of this tariff;
(b) the monitor does any act protected by copyright that is not authorized by this tariff;
(c) the monitor uses a CBRA item after having received a notice pursuant to section 14; or
(d) a monitor’s government user breaches any condition set out in subsection 12(2).
(2) A monitor’s obligations pursuant to subsection (1) are not affected by the right of approval granted to CBRA pursuant to paragraph 8(2)(v).
(3) Notwithstanding subsection (1), CBRA or the relevant CBRA broadcaster may avail itself of any recourse it may have against a government user who breaches any condition set out in subsection 12(2).
29. CBRA shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the monitor, its shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, licensees and assigns from and against any claim, demand, loss, liability, cost, damage or expense including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees which they may suffer or incur by reason of a failure by CBRA to comply with this tariff or of an inaccuracy in the information supplied pursuant to section 19.

30. (1) A monitor whose royalties CBRA has not received within five business days of the date the royalties are due pursuant to subsection 16(2) is not entitled to do any of the acts described in sections 4 to 10 from the first day of the semester in respect of which the royalties should have been paid until the monitor pays the royalties and the accrued interest.
(2) A monitor who fails to comply with any other provision of this tariff is not entitled to do any of the acts described in sections 4 to 10 as of five business days after CBRA has notified the monitor in writing of that failure and until the monitor remedies that failure.
