- ComputerGuru 15y agoYou've obviously never worked in the business world. It's all built on trust. You either have it, or you don't. When you sign a contract with these companies, you give them the right to, if they so choose, ask for all your records to review at any given point in time. I'm not at liberty to go into specifics, but for example one company we deal with charges a flat royalty off of every product that includes their tech. At the end of the month, we send them exactly 2 statistics along with a check: how many items sold, and what we now owe them. (This is a huge company and we're talking on the scale of hundreds of thousands of dollars.) When you're a company, you don't take stupid risks like cheating out your licensors over something less than half of what you're making. It's nowhere near being worth the risk, as even aside from any legal issues, fees, and compensations, if you get caught you can kiss that licensing agreement goodbye and then you have to start over from scratch with a different platform, a different provider, and different tech.
