Collaboration and Contracts between EMG and Partner Companies

Collaboration between Extrinsic Music Group (EMG) and companies using the B2B service is based on a professional, transparent, and scalable model designed to ensure operational efficiency and legal security. This model allows companies to start with a few artists or manage more structured services, always with full EMG support.

1. Collaboration Agreement

• A clear, professional contract is established between EMG and the partner company.
• The contract defines:
  • roles and responsibilities of each party
  • management of data and revenue
  • commissions applied by EMG
• The goal is to provide a secure and transparent collaboration while avoiding bureaucratic complexity.

2. Roles and Responsibilities

• Extrinsic Music Group (EMG):
  • Technical management of the music distribution platform.
  • Distribution to major digital services (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, etc.).
  • Data analysis and advanced reporting to monitor performance and revenue.
  • Full operational support if the company lacks technical resources or experience.
• Partner Company / Label:
  • Managing relationships with artists and branding the service.
  • Responsible for paying artists, as revenue data is provided directly to the company.
  • Can delegate certain operations to EMG to simplify management.

3. Commissions and Revenue

• EMG charges a variable commission between 1.3% and 3% of the total distributed.
• The partner company/label retains the remaining share and manages artist payments according to contractual agreements.
• All data regarding revenue, royalties, and distribution are provided to the company to ensure full transparency.

4. Artist Contracts

• Written contracts, even informal, are required with each artist.
• EMG can provide templates and guidelines to facilitate contract management.
• Contracts clearly define rights, royalties, and responsibilities, providing legal protection for both the company and the artists.

5. Tax Management and Compliance

• The partner company is responsible for tax management and artist payments.
• EMG can assist with fiscal compliance and operational management, reducing administrative burden.
• The company’s primary contact must provide valid identification to activate the service.

6. Starting with Few Artists or Small Groups

• Companies managing a small number of artists or a friends’ group can start the service without complex company registration.
• EMG still provides full support, technical management, and operational assistance.
• This flexible model allows for a fast launch and gradual growth without risk.

7. Benefits of Collaborating with EMG

• Comprehensive support for technical, operational, and contractual management.

Final Considerations

Through collaboration between EMG and the partner company, it is possible to offer a professional, flexible, and secure B2B music distribution service.
