Common use of Accounting and Audit Rights Clause in Contracts

Accounting and Audit Rights. Guidance Note for clause 6.1: The nature of the records required to be kept will depend in part on how the Fees are set. If the Fees are based on volume or revenue, it will be necessary for the Licensee to keep and provide 'open books' so that the Licensor can see that the Fees and invoices have been generated appropriately. This will also need to be implemented with any Affiliates of the Licensee and sublicensees. The Licensee will need to manage its own arrangements to ensure it has access to this information.
