Fill in the agreementWho can join?
You can join Gramex as a client if you are a private individual, company or other organisation that performs on a phonogram as an artist or has commercially produced a phonogram. A producer may become a client after they have funded the recording of a phonogram. Here, ‘producer’ does not refer to a creative producer.
To become a client, you make a client agreement. The easiest way is to do it online. There is a link for private individuals and another one for businesses. Electronic agreements require strong identification with bank IDs, for instance.
Under 18-year-olds need a paper agreement because it has to be signed by a legal guardian.

What can I be remunerated for?
Gramex sells licences on your behalf and collects remunerations for phonograms and music videos that are used, for instance:
- on FM and internet radio
- in TV and streaming programmes
- in AV presentations
- at public events
- in public facilities available to customers and personnel, such as hair salons, grocery stores, restaurants, taxis, schools and health services.
Remunerations are paid out four times a year. You can track your remunerations in the MyGramex portal.
What does Gramex not collect remunerations for?
Gramex manages the so called related rights on your behalf from a financial point of view. The authorisation is limited. In other words, no rights are transferred to Gramex. They remain under your ownership, making you the ‘rightsholder.’ For some rights, our rightsholders wish to keep the licence sales to themselves. That is why we do not collect and pay out remunerations for, e.g.
- social media
- advertisements
- movie theatre screenings
- YouTube or Spotify.
For these outlets, rightsholders agree on the use of music and remunerations independent of Gramex. Most often, the licences are available from producers, i.e. record companies.
