CCC cannot affect, change or set royalty fees. Royalty fees in CCC's title catalog change at the discretion of the rightsholder. CCC does not set royalty fees and is bound by contract to collect and distribute current royalty fees. Royalty fee updates received from publishers, authors and other creators are accepted 365 days a year. Pricing for orders is based on the effective royalty fees in the database on the date of order entry.
Rights ownership frequently changes from one rightsholder to another.
The new rightsholder royalty fee becomes effective immediately. A rights ownership change can occur for a variety of reasons, including transfer of rights, mergers, acquisitions and reversion of rights to authors and creators. These changes are effective upon receipt, unlike fee changes.
