• AVLA and the record companies are not obligated to provide the source music or videos.
• Music and music videos may not be downloaded from the internet, unless from an AVLA approved source.
• The Licensee/Airline is responsible for the security of the music and videos and agrees to reimburse the record companies for any loss or damage.
• If you are a third party company compiling the audio and video for an airline, a distribution agreement must be in place to satisfy AVLA standards.
• The music and music videos should be of high quality that meet or exceed the quality as produced by the record company.

The licence fee is the greater of 15% of gross revenue or $5.15 per sound recording and/or $12.00 per music video per program per month, payable monthly. Applied against the licence fee is a non-interest bearing, refundable advance amount of $5,000.00, also payable upon execution of the Agreement.
