There is no cost for a rightsholder to sign an agreement with Copyright Clearance Center. As a not-for-profit organization, Copyright Clearance Center covers operating costs by retaining a percentage of royalty fees collected for rightsholders as a service charge. The percentage retained can vary by service and level of participation, and ranges from 15% to 30%.
