Why Must You Declare?
As an ACUM member, declaring a work is the basic condition for receiving royalties. Without a declaration - ACUM cannot know the work belongs to you, and may delay royalties payment until it is received.
A declaration means the work was composed, written and/or arranged by you. It is registered in your favor and allows ACUM to attribute every use of the work to the correct rights holder.
For ACUM members only: The work declaration service is open to registered association members. If you are not yet a member, join ACUM first.
