The licence referred to in clause 1.1 is a worldwide licence.

CAL may deduct its administrative costs (including anticipated costs) and any other amounts authorised by the Constitution from moneys it collects.
4. Remuneration
Subject to clause 4.2, CAL will notify me of any money allocated to me in accordance with the method of allocation determined by CAL from time to time.
I acknowledge that the payment of money allocated to me will be subject to requirements reasonably imposed by CAL from time to time.

I warrant that:
I am eligible under CAL's Constitution to be admitted as a member of CAL;
I can grant the rights granted by the Agreement and those rights do not infringe the copyright or other proprietary right of any other person;
where I am not the sole owner of copyright in the Copyright Material, I have obtained the necessary consents to enter into the Agreement; and
where I have notified CAL of payment splits for the Copyright Material, the information supplied is correct.
I undertake to notify CAL of any changes in the control of the Copyright Material including reversions of rights and, where I have notified CAL of any payment splits, including any changes to those payment splits.
I indemnify CAL against any liability incurred by CAL arising out of:
a breach by me of the Agreement; or
an infringement of copyright or other proprietary right in the licensing of the rights granted by the Agreement.
The warranties and indemnities given in this clause 5 extend for the benefit of the Licensees.
I waive any claim of copyright infringement I may have against a Licensee in relation to any act or omission done under a licence granted under the Nominated Licence Schemes.
