IMPORTANT NOTE: At present, UniteSync does not have a direct agreement established with these societies. Nonetheless, we do maintain a reciprocal agreement with these societies, ensuring that we still maintain a connection to this specific society. These reciprocal agreements are essentially data-sharing agreements that simply send your song registrations from one society to another, with the potential for data-matching issues or delays in the process.
