Your cut is 30% of the net revenue from subscription fees, based on the downloads you got from users, and compared to all artists in the Footage pie.</span></p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The value of the royalties depends on the plan the user is subscribed to and their total downloads. Let's see how it works on the examples below:</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The value of the royalties depends on the plan that the user is subscribed to</span></strong></li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Example: </span></li>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ql-indent-1\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Alex is a user with a Pro plan (higher plan)</span></li>\n<li class=\"ql-indent-1\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sam is a user with a Junior plan (lower plan)</span></li>\n</ul>\n</ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">They both downloaded the same amount of clips. The value of Alex's downloads is higher than Sam's. Therefore you will earn more royalties for assets downloaded by Alex than for the assets downloaded by Sam.</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The value of the royalties depends on the subscriber's number of downloads</span></strong></li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Example: </span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Jane and Monica are two subscribers with the same subscription plan. </span></p>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ql-indent-1\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Jane downloads 100 assets a year</span></li>\n<li class=\"ql-indent-1\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Monica downloads 10 assets a year</span></li>\n</ul>\n</ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Monica's downloads will be worth more (i.e., $100 subscription divided by 10 downloads = $10 per download).</span></p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Eligible downloads are made by paying subscribers (downloads from trial accounts are not counted towards royalties). Each download that goes towards filmmakers' royalties is unique per user (e.g., multiple downloads of a single clip by a single subscriber are considered as one download).</span></p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This royalties model allows us to reward artists precisely, directly reflecting our subscribers' preferences. This way, we can identify the assets that provide value to subscribers and reward artists accordingly.</span></p>\n<h2 id=\"01HDNSMASZ4488FB26VTGMGT40\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Payout system</span></h2>\n<p><strong>Payout date</strong></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The royalties are being paid annually between December and January. They are calculated from December 1st to November 30th of the following year.</span></p>\n<p><strong>Payout methods</strong></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artlist offers 2 secure, digital transfer payment methods for you to choose from:</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https://www.paypal.com/us/home\">PayPal</a></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https://www.payoneer.com/\">Payoneer</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will be asked to choose your preferred payment method upon signing your contract.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you choose to receive your royalties via Payoneer, you will be sent a link. Please connect your Payoneer account using that link, to ensure you will be able to successfully receive your payment.</span></p>\n<p><strong>Foreign currency</strong></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We pay royalties in USD. Filmmakers can then convert the payment to the currency of their choice (PayPal/Payoneer fees may apply) before the withdrawal. </span></p>\n<p><strong>Tax</strong></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artlist Ltd. is based in Israel and withholds tax based on the treaties between Israel and your country of residence, provided that such a treaty exists.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Along with your royalty payout, you’ll receive a tax form.</span></p>\n<p><strong>VAT for Israeli artists</strong></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are an Israeli artist, </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VAT may also apply. Please consult with your tax advisor.</span></p>"}}
