German term
VG
German to English
Bus/Financial
Law: Contract(s)
THis is from a Rahmenvertrag (which the client insists on callng a "frame contract", although I would have used "Master Agreement") - there are a couple of references to VG, e.g.
"4 Fälligkeit
Der so erreichte Bonusbetrag ist jährlich als Rückvergütung bis spätestens 30. März des Folge-jahres an den VG zu zahlen..".
and
"Die gesamten Umsätze ... sind auf Grund § 6 des
Rahmenvertrages, getrennt nach Sparten, Bauvorhaben und Gewerken, halbjährlich jeweils bis zum 20. des Folgemonats an VG zu melden. Das soll in der von dem VG vorgegebenen Weise geschehen ([Excel]Tabellen und Datenträger)"
TIA!

With "dem" and "den" used as articles for "VG", it is just plain silly to even think of anything ending in "-gesellschaft". Not only silly, but irresponsible. It's got to be a masculine noun.
So Olaf's suggestion of "Vertraggeber" is much better. Besides, I have had this abbreviation used with this meaning in contracts I have translated.
What you call the "Vertraggeber" depends largely on what sort of a contract it is. If in doubt, ask the client, who may insist on "green-bubble raincoat man" or something.
If it were not for the client's insistence on "frame contract", I would tell Google to take a flying leap and go for "framework contract" for "Rahmenvertrag".

Verwertungsgesellschaft
Not sure if this is right, but the context doesn't seem to suggest otherwise.
A Verwertungsgesellschaft is a copyright watchdog that also pays royalties and the like to copyright-holders, if memory serves me right.
See the Wikipedia entry below.

Although I now realise that (as Teresa has also pointed out) my answer is probably wrong, "Rahmenvertrag" is generally translated as "framework agreement".

: Verwertungsgesellschaft doesn't make sense in this context.

I can suggest nothing better, mainly because we haven't enough context to work on; we don't know what type of agreement this is at all...

And this only makes sense if the German Verfasser didn't know the gender of "Gesellschaft" - but that's happened before too....
