Pricing
The PPD (Price Per Dealer), as stated in the completed Listing Application form, is the price at which Music for Maize will buy each unit of The Product from The Owner for the duration of this agreement.
The PPD normally is the set wholesale price at which retailers will buy The Product from record companies or their distributors and therefor also the price that was used to calculate royalties to the owners of intellectual property and copyrights during the manufacturing process of The Product.
The Suggested Retail Price as stated in the completed Listing Application form, is considered by all parties to be a suggestion only, but it should be a guideline as to what The Product would sell for through other retail channels.

It is, however, agreed that the Actual Retail Price at which Music for Maize will sell The Product to its customers, will be calculated as follows:
• PPD as determined by The Owner and stated in the completed Listing Application form
• Plus the portion allocated to the Product Beneficiary (hereafter referred to as “The Beneficiary’s Portion”) as chosen by The Owner and described in the completed Listing Application form
• Plus a portion that will represent Music for Maize’s mark-up (hereafter referred to as “Music for Maize’s Portion). This amount will be more or less equal to The Beneficiary’s Portion and will be utilized for company expenses and overhead costs
• Plus Transaction costs (this currently amounts to R 1.50 per transaction plus 3.5% of the total transaction value)
The total will represent the Actual Retail Price, exclusive of VAT.

The Number of initial units as stated by The Owner in the completed Listing Application form, represent the number of units of The Product that The Owner must deliver to Music for Maize before The Product will be listed in its catalogues or offered for sale to its customers.
The Owner agrees to provide Music for Maize with one complimentary unit of The Product. Music for Maize will utilize this unit for archive, marketing and administrative purposes.
It is agreed that The Owner will supply stock to Music for Maize on a consignment basis. This means that Music for Maize will only pay The Owner for units that were actually sold and that remaining stock will be returned to The Owner at no further cost to Music for Maize upon the termination of this agreement.
Music for Maize will notify The Owner when the number of units in stock become too low to guarantee our ability to supply the projected demand by our customers. The Owner undertakes to supply Music for Maize with additional stock as ordered, within a reasonable timeframe.
All costs with regard to the delivery of stock to Music for Maize, will be for The Owner’s account.
The Owner agrees to inform Music for Maize immediately if his/her ability to supply stock to us, is compromised due to availability, discontinuance of The Product or for any other reason whatsoever. Music for Maize then reserves the right to remove The Product from our catalogue permanently or temporarily, depending on the nature of the problem at hand.

The Beneficiary’s Portion from the sale of each unit of The Product, shall be kept by Music for Maize in a virtual account allocated to the chosen Beneficiary.
Music for Maize shall, as soon as the balance of The Beneficiary’s virtual account warrants the expense of delivery, and in co-ordination with The Beneficiary, use the available funds in The Beneficiary’s virtual account to buy a selection of basic foods which will be donated and delivered to The Beneficiary. The Beneficiary shall not be entitled to receive any cash or money from Music for Maize.
It is agreed that the value of the The Beneficiary’s Portion as mentioned earlier, will be determined by Music for Maize.
Details of all donations made to The Product Beneficiary will be included in the quarterly sales report to The Owner as described earlier. Music for Maize may furthermore choose to publicly display or publicize any such details from time to time.
Upon submission of the completed Listing Application form, Music for Maize shall be entitled to investigate the activities of The Beneficiary in order to ensure that The Beneficiary, in its opinion, qualifies for support from Music for Maize.
