No, there are no royalties, though you do have an outstanding fee from our licensing agreement, which was issued two years ago. You owe me a sum of US$800,000 plus late fee (see below).
Make cheques payable to "Baraka_Guru Enterprises." All balances due in 30 days. A 2% late fee applies for overdue accounts (compounded daily).
