TERMS & CONDITIONS:
SESSIONPLAYERS.COM ARTIST AGREEMENT
1. Company may engage, from time to time, the
musical, vocal and/or engineering services of
Musician to perform on recording sessions arranged
by Company for its clients for which Company receives
a fee. The Musician agrees that all recordings,
musical compositions and any derivatives thereof
(collectively referred to as the “Works”)
created in whole or in part at the recording session(s)
are deemed works made for hire as commissioned
works (contributions to a collective work). If,
however, any Works are legally determined not
to be works made for hire, Musician assigns to
Company's client all rights in and to such Works,
including without limitation, the copyrights.
2. Company shall have the unrestricted right
to manufacture, advertise, sell, lease, license,
distribute and otherwise exploit the Works and
to authorize others to do so or refrain from doing
so, whether by means of records, videos, DVDs,
films, free or pay television or any other means
now or hereafter in existence.
3. Company shall have the right to use Musician’s
name, likeness, and biographical material. Company
shall have the right to authorize others to use
Musician's name in connection with the exploitation
of the Works.
4. Company acknowledges it is a signatory to
AFM and AFTRA and agrees to abide by their collective
bargaining agreement when applicable. The compensation
paid to the Musician is full and complete payment
for his/her services hereunder and for all of
Musician's rights in and to the Works. In the
event of any reuse or exploitation of the Works,
additional compensation may be due the Musician
if required by the unions. Any reporting requirements
for reuse or other exploitation of the Works is
the sole responsibility of Company's client. Company
may not be held liable or responsible for collection,
payment, or accounting of any such reuse.
5. The parties acknowledge Musician is an independent
contractor and therefore accepts responsibility
for payment of local, federal and/or state taxes,
if any. The Company does not determine the time
or location of where the recording takes place;
does not provide the equipment necessary for the
Musician to perform the services; and Musician
can accept or reject the offer to utilize his/her
services. Musician agrees to provide Company with
a completed IRS form W-9.
6. Musician understands that Company, through
its client, has engaged Musician's recording services
and Musician agrees not to negotiate directly
with Company's client(s) for the purpose of employment
or avoiding payment of Company's fee by client.
Musician further understands and agrees that Company
will screen its clients' material to determine
if in its opinion, the material would be acceptable
for the Musician to participate in the recording
session.
7. Musician warrants and represents that he/she
has the right to enter into this Agreement and
is under no disability or restriction which will
prevent him/her from granting the rights specified
hereunder and performing all the obligations hereunder
in a timely fashion.
