A Tennessee Producer-Manager-Talent Agreement, also known as a talent contract or entertainment agreement, is a legal document used in the multimedia industry to establish the relationship and responsibilities between a producer, manager, and talent involved in a project. This agreement outlines the terms and conditions regarding the production, promotion, and use of an individual's name and likeness in multimedia projects such as films, TV shows, music videos, or commercials. These agreements protect the rights of both parties and ensure that all parties involved are aware of their obligations and rights. The Tennessee Producer-Manager-Talent Agreement typically consists of several key components, including: 1. Identification of Parties: It begins by clearly identifying the producer, manager, and talent (the person whose name and likeness will be used) involved in the agreement. This section includes their legal names, addresses, and contact information. 2. Scope of Work: The agreement specifies the nature of the multimedia project and the specific tasks and responsibilities of each party. It outlines the producer's role in the project, such as overseeing the production, financing, distribution, and marketing efforts, while the manager's role focuses on career development, securing deals, and negotiating on behalf of the talent. 3. Compensation and Royalties: This section outlines the payment terms, including the talent's compensation for their services, and any additional royalties or income the talent may receive based on the project's success or revenue generated from their name and likeness. It may include details such as payment schedules, percentages, or flat fees, as per the negotiated agreement. 4. Copyright and Intellectual Property: The agreement addresses the ownership and use of intellectual property rights, including the talent's name, image, voice, and likeness. It specifies how these rights will be utilized in the multimedia project and whether any limits or restrictions exist. 5. Exclusivity and Conflicts of Interest: It determines whether the talent will be represented exclusively by the manager or if they are free to seek representation from other entities. Additionally, any potential conflicts of interest or competing commitments are addressed, ensuring that both parties' interests are protected. 6. Termination and Dispute Resolution: This section outlines the conditions under which the agreement can be terminated by either party and the procedure for resolving disputes, typically through mediation or arbitration instead of litigation. Different types of Tennessee Producer-Manager-Talent Agreements can exist based on the specific nature of the multimedia project or the industry involved. Some examples include: 1.
