Royalty share & support terms
Terms you can read before you sign
There is no standard rate card. These are the principles every term sheet starts from.
- IP ownership
- The developer keeps ownership of the game’s intellectual property. A publishing agreement grants a licence to publish for a defined term, territory and set of platforms.
- Revenue share
- Negotiated per title and written as a percentage of net receipts — what the storefront actually pays out after its fee, taxes and refunds. There is no standard rate card.
- Recoupment
- Only costs the publisher actually funds, itemised in the agreement, are recoupable — and only from the title’s own net receipts. A developer never repays a recoupable cost from other income.
- Reporting & audit
- Sales and cost statements per reporting period, with the right for the developer to have them checked by an accountant of their choice.
- No upfront fees
- Karl Berg Design ApS does not charge developers a fee to review or publish a pitch.
- Exit terms
- Termination rights, rights reversion and what happens to unrecouped balances are written into the agreement before signature, not after launch.

What does Karl Berg Design ApS do?
Karl Berg Design ApS is a Danish video game publisher registered in Odense (CVR 40215263, industry code 582100 “Udgivelse af videospil”). It offers publishing, marketing, QA and localization, and budget-planning support to independent developers.
Does it cost anything to pitch a game?
No. There is no fee to submit, to have a pitch reviewed, or to receive a term sheet.
Who owns the game after signing?
The developer. A publishing agreement licenses the rights to publish for an agreed term, territory and platforms; it does not transfer ownership of the intellectual property.
Is the royalty calculator an offer?
No. It is an illustration of how net receipts, recoupment and a revenue share interact, using numbers you enter. Every agreement is negotiated per title.
Do you publish on consoles?
Console releases are planned where the title suits them. Submissions are filed through the account that holds the platform holder’s developer-programme access, agreed in writing for each title. Karl Berg Design ApS does not claim to be an authorised partner of any platform holder.
