# MEDIA LICENSING AGREEMENT

Date: 24 June 2036

Parties: Blue Lantern Films Ltd and Northstar Broadcast plc

## 1. Purpose and parties

Blue Lantern Films Ltd grants Northstar Broadcast plc a non-exclusive licence to broadcast the documentary River at Dawn in the United Kingdom and Ireland from 1 September 2036 to 31 August 2039. Copyright and all rights outside the licensed scope remain with Blue Lantern.

## 2. Facts, scope and terms

Northstar may make technical edits and short promotional extracts but may not materially alter the documentary, sublicense it or use the footage in advertising for another product. It must display the agreed director and production credits where technically practicable.

## 3. Process and responsibilities

The licence fee is £36,000 plus a 4% share of net receipts from authorised secondary exploitation, with quarterly statements. Each party will retain chain-of-title, music-clearance and transmission records, and neither party warrants audience figures or a particular commercial return.

## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards

The parties should retain the relevant contract, notice, invoices, records and correspondence, and restrict access to personal or confidential information to those who need it. The stated amounts and dates are fictional worked-example facts and require checking against source records.

## 5. Review, escalation and outcome

If the issue is not resolved, the parties should identify the appropriate next step, which may include an internal process, mediation, court or regulator. Silence or part performance is not treated as acceptance or waiver.

## 6. Reservations and practical protections

This document is a general fictional example, not individual legal advice and not a guarantee of eligibility, liability or outcome. Where necessary, an independent professional should check the facts and current law.
