4. Processing contracts and Royalty Reports

From proceeding contracts, payment, publication, royalty reports, to termination and renewals, we manage each and every step efficiently.

1) We send contracts to the publisher with invoice, publication report form, and ‘contract for using rights’ which is a short summary of contract terms in Korean.
2) With signing on the contract, publisher shall send us payment indicated on the invoice.
3) The publisher shall send us publication report after publication.
4) The publisher shall make royalty report once or twice a year as per the contract.
5) At the end of contract term, we discuss renewal with the publisher. If we don’t receive response at this point, we re-check with the publisher at every royalty report periods. If the publisher wants to terminate the contract, we request our termination letter to be signed by the publisher.
