HOW IT WORKS
The assurance defines the scope before making the promise.
Each proposal and agreement states which music may be used, where and how. Rights responsibility becomes measurable, documented and contractually enforceable.
The scope is written into the contract
Repertoire, territories, locations, devices, permitted use and term are stated in the proposal and agreement schedule.
Brandbase Oy bears the cost
Brandbase Oy assumes the required music and neighbouring-rights arrangements and licensing costs for the covered use.
Rights claims are managed
A legally valid third-party claim within scope is handled by Brandbase Oy under the assurance and responsibility terms in the agreement.
SCOPE MAP
What the assurance covers is explicit.

iThe Brand Radio assurance is not a blanket copyright-law exemption. It applies only to the Authorised Content and use stated in the signed agreement.
CONTRACTUAL WARRANTY
The copyright assurance is recorded clearly in the agreement.
The proposal, order form and agreement schedule bring the Authorised Content, territories, locations, permitted use and allocation of responsibility into one documented scope.
SCOPE · RIGHTS CHAIN · RESPONSIBILITYSecuring the rights
Brandbase Oy undertakes to secure and maintain the rights required for the agreed use of the Authorised Content throughout the contract term.
Valid claims
A legally valid rightsholder or collective-management claim arising from the customer’s compliant use is managed by Brandbase Oy within the written contractual scope.
Documented responsibility
Applicable licence costs and claim handling are tied to the agreement’s assurance and responsibility terms, including notice, cooperation and defence procedures.
LEGAL CONTEXT
Why is the scope written so precisely?
Because workplace music rules vary by country and type of right. The Brand Radio assurance does not ignore those rules; it assumes responsibility for rights within the customer’s documented use.
The general rule
In Finland, playing protected music in customer or staff areas is generally a communication to the public and requires appropriate rights or a licence. Authors’ rights and the rights of performers and phonogram producers must be considered separately.
The Brand Radio difference
The customer is not using an arbitrary music source. A rights-cleared Brand Radio catalogue is supplied for the territories, locations and use written into the agreement, and Brandbase Oy assumes the related rights and licensing-cost responsibility.
What this does not mean
It is not a blanket exemption for every music source or every use worldwide. Music or use outside the agreed catalogue and scope may require separate permission in the relevant country.
SHORT ANSWERS
About the licensing assurance.
Will I pay Musiikkiluvat, Teosto, Gramex or a local society separately?+
If you use only the Brand Radio repertoire, territories, locations and use listed in the agreement, the rights and licensing costs within that same scope are Brandbase Oy’s responsibility; the customer does not pay them separately.
Which document contains the warranty?+
The scope and assurance are recorded in the proposal, order form, agreement and, where required, a repertoire or territory schedule.
What happens if a society or rightsholder makes a claim?+
The claim is promptly referred to Brandbase Oy. A legally valid claim within scope is managed under the notice, defence, cooperation and responsibility terms in the agreement.
Can I also use my Spotify account or the radio?+
Those sources are outside the Brand Radio agreement and may require separate commercial permissions. Use only the authorised Brand Radio source to preserve the contractual assurance.
