Feel free to contact us so we can try to help you. In some cases you might want to terminate your contract but in other cases you might want to mix 'n match BizMusiq licenses in one zone and popular hit music (licensed by the collection societies) in another zone.
Yes. As long as the music is played in separate (closed) zones / areas / rooms. For example a car dealership uses BizMusiq in the showroom while the car mechanics are listening to a national radio station in the workshop. In this case the licenses issued by the collecting societies will only apply to the workshop area, resulting in lower annual fees.
No, not during trading hours. Although radio is a public broadcast you will have to obtain licenses from collection societies for playing music in public. In some cases, beneficial exceptions apply for private parties.
Yes, but in this case you will need multiple licenses. With each license you will be able to play one music program at the time.
Don't worry. Just contact us and we will gladly answer your question.
