Why it works
Is this legally binding?
This template is a solid starting point, but consult counsel to ensure enforceability in your jurisdiction.
Can I reuse this for multiple shows?
Yes. You can duplicate and adapt sections for each leg of a tour or keep one consolidated agreement with addenda.
What about merchandise revenue?
Merch terms are clearly defined in the IP & Merch section to prevent disputes over gross vs net revenue.
