Contracts like an artist agreement help avoid miscommunications and confusion over the rights and responsibilities of both parties involved. Artist agreements typically include availability expectations, performance markers, and licensing or ownership rights of the works created during the partnership.
It is a legal agreement that binds the Artist and the Company to fulfill all the terms and conditions contained in it. All Individual Artist Agreements must be in compliance with the respective Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Generally, to be legally valid, most contracts must contain two elements: All parties must agree about an offer made by one party and accepted by the other. Something of value must be exchanged for something else of value.
A good artist contract sets forth the deliverables for the project being completed. This usually includes all details regarding project timeframes, the type of work being completed, the number of revisions expected, and the delivery dates.
