🔹 1. Full Catalog of Managed Works
UMW must submit a complete list of all the musical works it represents. This includes titles, names of authors and composers, dates, codes, and any relevant metadata needed for accurate identification and registration. 📋🎼

🔹 2. Publishing and Sub-publishing Agreements
Copies of all editorial contracts must be provided — both national and international. These documents legally authorize SAYCE to act on behalf of UMW and ensure the proper enforcement of rights. 📑🌍

🔹 3. Updated Information
UMW is responsible for keeping SAYCE updated on any changes to the catalog — such as new works, transfers of ownership, or revisions to existing contracts — to avoid errors or delays in royalty processing. ⏱️🔄

💡 With this information, SAYCE can:
✅ Properly register the works
✅ Monitor their usage within Ecuador
✅ Distribute royalties fairly and accurately
