In general, the contents of international media monitoring are intended for internal use only. As far as possible, we undertake licence management and the on-site processing thereof in collaboration with our international partners. However, some licensing agencies insist on direct contact or insist that a contact is concluded with the end customer. The details of the countries concerned are listed below. For further information on any licence costs, please refer to the websites of the relevant licensing agency.
For deliveries from Germany, up to 3 users are licensed. For four to ten users, end customers outside Germany must accept the declaration of intent from the German licensing agency, PMG Presse-Monitor GmbH & Co. KG, as well as the associated conditions, by using this form. This must be completed before the order start date. If there are more than ten users, end customers are required to contact PMG Presse-Monitor GmbH & Co. KG directly. In this scenario, licence fees are settled directly between PMG and the end customer.
For deliveries from Austria, up to ten users are licensed. Additional users can be licensed via our suppliers and invoiced via ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS.
For deliveries from the UK and/or the Republic of Ireland, an end user licence agreement (EULA) with the local licensing agency, NLA, is required (https://www.nlamediaaccess.com/end-user-licence-agreement-eula).
Articles are licensed depending on the number of users via ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS. Once the EULA has been completed and submitted, the NLA receives this form and notifies ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS.
Exception: Customers based in the UK do not require an end user licence agreement, but rather a direct licence agreement with the NLA and an additional direct agreement with the CLA (www.cla.co.uk).
