Some key considerations, while drafting an Artist Agreement, are:
1. The amount/percentage of Commission to be paid to the Manager.
2. Scope of Manager's Responsibilities.
3. Term of the Agreement (and whether renewal of the Agreement will be automatic or will need a written mutual consent)
4. Sunset Clause: The “sunset” clause means that the Manager will continue to earn a Commission even after the Term of the Agreement has expired. Useful any potential booking at the stage of negotiation during the Term was finalized after the Term expired.
5. Ability to take on similar clients in similar fields, etc.
