The Sync License Agreement is a crucial document in the New Zealand media and entertainment industry, used when musical works need to be legally synchronized with visual content. This agreement is essential for any project where music will be combined with visual media, including films, television shows, advertisements, video games, or online content. It ensures compliance with New Zealand's Copyright Act 1994 and provides a clear framework for the authorized use of musical compositions. The document typically includes detailed specifications about the musical works, intended usage, territory restrictions, duration of rights, and compensation structures. This type of agreement is particularly important in protecting both the rights holders' intellectual property and the content creators' ability to legally use the music in their productions.
