Hi (payee name),

We have started using the royalty accounting software eddy.app and would like to invite you to your very own Payee Portal. Activating your account will give you access to your releases, contract deal terms, royalty statements and much more.

Furthermore, we will be using self-billing to generate invoices on your behalf via eddy.app. To authorize this, please add your billing and payment details once you’ve activated your account:
