German term

FSK

German to English Bus/Financial Cinema, Film, TV, Drama film music production
Wenn die Musik in Filmtheatern vorgeführt werden soll, wird der Auftragnehmer den Film auf seine Kosten der **FSK** vorlegen und die vom Auftraggeber gewünschte Zahl der Freigabekarten beschaffen. Beanstandet die **FSK** oder die Werbefernsehgesellschaft die Musik bzw. einzelne Titel aufgrund von Elementen, die auf einen ausdrücklichen Wunsch des Auftraggebers zurückgehen, so gehen erforderliche Änderungen zu dessen Lasten, ansonsten zu Lasten des Auftragnehmers.
