📌 Introduction
✅ Yes, you can modify your Soundreef Membership after registration.
You have two options:
🔹 Mandate Opt Out → to exclude specific rights classes and/or territories.

📆 Requests must be sent by August 31st to become effective from January 1st of the following year.
1️⃣ How to opt out the mandate (rights and/or territories)
📌 If you want to exclude certain rights classes and/or territories from your Membership, follow these steps:
