13. A CBRA broadcaster, or CBRA at its direction, may, by notifying a monitor in writing, restrict the monitor from selling, renting or otherwise dealing in a CBRA item if the broadcaster believes that this could raise a legal issue or result in liability.

They exclude applicable taxes, actual out-of-pocket cost for recording media, their labelling and delivery charges, and any amount paid by the monitor to a commercial media monitor acting pursuant to a CBRA licence for any CBRA item.
(2) Subsections (3) to (7) apply in a year to a monitor who, no later than January 31 of that year, delivers to CBRA a statement certified as accurate and signed by a senior officer of the monitor that in the officer's good faith view, the monitor's total media monitoring costs for that year shall be less than $100,000 and that the monitor wishes to avail itself of section 27 of this tariff.
(3) A monitor who complied with subsection (2) shall provide the information set out in paragraph 17(1)(d) only if the monitor has that information.
(4) Paragraph 20(1)(c) does not apply to a monitor who has complied with subsection (2).

That monitor shall not be entitled to avail itself of this section for the rest of the relevant year and shall instead comply with the other provisions of this tariff.
(6) A monitor who has complied with subsection (2) and who has not delivered a notice pursuant to subsection (5) shall deliver to CBRA, on or before January 31 of the next year, a statement certified as accurate and signed by a senior officer of the monitor setting out the monitor's total media monitoring costs for the relevant year.
(7) A monitor who complied with subsection (2) and whose total media monitoring costs for the relevant year exceeded $100,000 may not avail itself again of subsection (2) without the written authorization of CBRA.

29.
