Dear Applicant,
Application for PRS for Music Membership

Thank you for your interest in membership of PRS for Music. You must submit a completed
Application Form and Member Agreement in order to join. The Membership Agreement, which
when signed by you will only take effect if your application for membership is successful,
transfers to the Society the ownership of your performing and film synchronisation rights. If
you are in any doubt as to the effect of the Agreement on your ability to deal with the
copyright in your works, you are advised to take legal advice before signing it.

The legal transfer or assignment of the rights contained in the Agreement will normally be for
the territory of the World but you may be entitled to exclude certain countries from the
scope of the Society's administration of your rights.

The Society's articles also permit applicants to exclude part(s) of the performing right
and/or film synchronisation right from the extent of the transfer. A list of the permitted
exclusions may be requested from the Member Admissions team on 020 7306 4805. Do not
sign the Agreement if you are intending to exclude any country and/or any part(s) of the
performing right and/or film synchronisation right from the extent of your assignment to the
Society.

The Society reserves the right to disclose certain information concerning any of your
registered compositions to authorised members using the Society's Online Services Enquiry
System and any associated e-mail or telephone enquiry system(s).

Except where expressly stated otherwise or provided by law, any notice or other written
communication given under or in connection with this Agreement shall be sent by email to

"Us", "our", "your" and "yourself" shall be construed accordingly;
(d) "territory" means the territory for which you transfer the rights to us under clause
2(a);
(e) "transfer" means (depending on the context) assign or assignment; and
(f) "the rights" means, in respect of any musical work:-
(i) the performing right; and
(ii) the film synchronisation right (subject to any undertaking we may give you in our
Articles of Association to assign or license this right in accordance with the terms
of the proviso to Article 7(b) of our Articles).
2. The Transfer
(a) you transfer to us absolutely for all parts of the world the rights which belong to you
on the date of this Agreement or which you may acquire or own whilst you remain our
member.
(b) the transfer mentioned in clause 2(a) shall last for so long as you remain our member
and pay for any additional period which is specified in our Constitution.
3. Our Obligations
We will:-
(a) use our best endeavours to administer the rights in accordance with our published
service standards;

If we do not do so, we will pay you compensation up to the limit which is set out in
our service standards;

rights as practicable (taking into account business constraints, our resources and the

you or administered the rights in accordance with our Constitution or policies. If that
complaints procedure has been exhausted and you are still not satisfied, you will have

access to an independant appeals procedure;
(e) treat information about your royalty earnings as confidential, subject to any practical
or legal obligation to disclose such information to any authority or person with the

(f) return to you all or part of the rights in so far as this is permitted by our Constitution;

procedure and suspension of royalties procedure which are mentioned above as soon
as practicable after you have requested such details.
4. Your Obligations

Agreement) do not and will not infringe the copyright in any other musical work;
(b) accept that you are bound by our Constitution; and
(c) promise to:-

(iii) do all such acts as are necessary to vest the rights in us and enable us to
enforce all or part of the rights;

reserving to us the rights and to make such contract subject to this Agreement;
(v) refrain from licensing any of the rights and from otherwise dealing with the rights
which you have transferred to us;
(vi) avoid doing anything which is likely to prejudice our ability to meet our obligations
to you and to our other members; and

special services rendered by us.
