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.
(a) The artist will be bound to the label for a specified period to produce an album (or single or EP.) as well as be forbidden from working with other labels. (b) The label will exclusively own the copyright to those songs for the duration of copyright (or an agreed shorter period –often called 'Rights Period').
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.
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.
A contract is mandatory for any commission. Write down every detail in the contract, such as the size and media of the artwork, your compensation, due dates for payments, who is responsible for framing, installation, delivery of the artwork, etc. If your client balks at signing a contract, WALK AWAY.
