What is a conflict?

A conflict occurs when several rightsholders declared the same rights on the same work, for the same territory and the same language version, inducing a total of rights declared higher than 100%.

Whenever your declaration generates a conflict, you will be informed by your AGICOA personal representative who will invite you to check your rights.

If the conflict persists at the time of payment, AGICOA blocks related remunerations. Money is released when the conflicting rightsholders update their rights declaration and thus settle the conflict.

However if the conflict lasts, AGICOA Legal and Business department may decide to initiate a "Conflict Resolution Procedure". This procedure aims at helping the conflicting parties to settle the conflict. You will be specifically and officially informed of the launching of such procedure.
