Managing an Advance and/or Minimum Guarantee

A Guarantee is the minimum Royalty Payment that a Licensee is contractually obligated to pay a Licensor over the term of the agreement. Guarantees may be paid one time, quarterly, semi-annually or annually, are nonrefundable and can be credited against future Earned Royalties in the form of an Advance.
