Public viewing on small screens

Licence for screens under 3 metres in diagonal

Provided you are showing the broadcast on a screen or projection surface under 3 metres in diagonal, Common Tariff 3a (CT 3a) applies.

If you are a SUISA customer and already have a licence for audiovisual use (films, videos, television broadcasts), no further action is required on your part, as this licence also applies to public viewings on screens or surfaces smaller than 3 metres in diagonal.

Please note, however, that a licence for audio use alone is not sufficient. This licence only covers background music, the reception of radio broadcasts and/or music on hold for your telephone line.

Details on the CT 3a, an overview of costs and the form to apply for the licence can be found at www.suisa.ch/3a

How to proceed if you do not have a licence CT 3a from SUISA

Fill in the form for the licence online. You can save the form and finish filling it in later.

After checking your application, SUISA issues you an invoice. The licence is valid as soon as payment is received.

From the payment proceeds, SUISA distributes the corresponding royalties to the entitled composers, lyricists and publishers.

Please note: For screen diagonals of 3 metres or more applies the Common Tariff 3c (CT 3c).
