Artist Agreement

From Overlap.org Wiki

This agreement is between artist, _______, and administrator, Overlap. For all releases, unless otherwise agreed upon, the artist retains ownership of the master recordings (!) and publishing (!). Overlap simply asks that all agreed upon releases are to be exclusive to Overlap for the duration of 5 years starting from agreed upon execution date and termination date. In this timeframe Overlap can administer the master recordings to other stores, not excluding itunes, emusic, and tunecore. After 5 years Overlap may continue to administer master recordings only with the artist's written consent, or another agreement. In addition, artists may wish to publish works via Overlap’s publishing company OVERLAP MUSIC (ASCAP) for increased licensing/sync exposure. Any licensing arranged through Overlap from agreed upon releases from the artist will be administered for 20% less the total license split (in other words Overlap keeps 20% extra for a license Overlap sets up). All "pay-what-you-want" (PWYW) donations or other forms of sale on Overlap.org will be split 50% artist and 50% Overlap. All sales from other stores, not excluding Apple iTunes, will be split 50% artist and 50% Overlap. Accounting by Overlap will be performed every 6 months from execution of contract and payment will be granted via check or PayPal. This agreement is artist-superior. If either party desires termination of this contract, both parties must agree upon termination terms and termination date. Further arbitration is agreed upon to take place in San Francisco County, San Francisco, California, USA.

We love you are care about you and we are artists too, so please trust that all is in your favor.
