Sabam mainly collects these royalties based on requests from customers who want to use our visual repertoire. Based on the information they provide, we calculate and invoice these royalties. Before doing so however, we verify whether the user has actually used the work as stated in his application. If this is not the case, we will make new calculations. 

Periodic checks

Representatives of Sabam carry out periodic checks on various users. If they establish any unlawful use, they will draw up an official report and we will invoice the royalties that are due. We will also inform the artist of this unlawful use.

As a member, you can always report a use or infringement. We will follow up on this information and ultimately collect any royalties you are entitled to.
