4.1 How much money do I get paid per download / stream?
iGroove pays you 92% of the net revenue generated by third-party shops such as iTunes, Spotify, Amazon etc.. iGroove AG’s own download shops and tools (purchase via SMSTracks.com, SMS or Widget) work with a fair trade shop commission of 8% of the sales price.
Important to know: The external music stores (iTunes, Spotify, Amazon etc.) only pay a portion of the sales price to the artists / partners or primarily to us as distributor. Depending on the Music Store, these payments can vary. For example, iTunes pays us an amount of about EUR 0.71 for a song download with a sales price of EUR 0.99 as distribution. This value can fluctuate, because for example the deductions can vary by different taxation. (For example the value added tax: Germany 19%, Switzerland 8%) In the end, 92% of the net revenues does not mean 92% of the sales price, but 92% of what the music stores pay us.
