Legal Disclaimer (a.k.a. Don’t Blame Us If You Mess This Up)
This information is here to help you, not replace proper legal advice. If you need real guidance on band agreements, management contracts, or anything remotely legal, talk to us before signing anything life-changing.
If you decide to copy-paste this and use it without consulting us (other professionals are available, but they're not as good...), that’s on you. We take zero responsibility for any bad deals, internal band meltdowns, or unexpected lawsuits that may result.
In short: Get in touch if you want it done properly. If you wing it and it goes wrong, that’s your problem.
Band Agreement
Band Agreement
Why you need one?
Look, we get it. You're a band, not a law firm.
You just want to make music, play gigs, and bask in the glory of your inevitable world tour.
But here’s the thing—without a band agreement, you’re basically one awkward conversation away from a total implosion. Who owns the songs? What happens if someone quits? Who gets the money (or debt)?
Without a Band Agreement, you're basically gambling your future on "we'll figure it out later"—which, spoiler alert, never ends well. Do yourself a favor: sort out the paperwork before the breakup album writes itself.

Management Agreement
Management Agreement
Look, your artist project is going places (or at least, that’s the plan). But without a management agreement, you’re just hoping that handshakes, good vibes, and WhatsApp messages will keep everything running smoothly. Spoiler: they won’t.
Who’s responsible for booking gigs? Who negotiates contracts? How much do they get paid? What happens if things go south?
Without a decent written agreement, these questions turn into arguments, lost money, and wasted time.
A management agreement makes it crystal clear what the manager does, what the band owes, and how to part ways without a dramatic fallout.
It’s the difference between a professional band and a messy breakup waiting to happen. Do it right before things get complicated.
