Intro

ern:Deal

A Composite containing details (in full or in summary) of a Deal made between a DSP (as Licensee) and a Licensor of Works or Releases. When any new DealTerms are added or removed from an existing Deal (different UseTypes, Prices, Territories, DistributionChannels) then a new Deal is created, and (if appropriate) the ValidityPeriod of the existing Deal should be terminated. The only changes which should be made to the DealTerms of an existing Deal are corrections required because of an earlier error or omission, or the addition of an EndDate to the Deal's ValidityPeriod.
