Why You Need a Podcast Contract Pack
If you are hopping on the trend and launching a podcast, you’ve probably thought about your podcast’s content, the equipment you will need, and some of the guests you’d like to have on your podcast. But, have you thought about obtaining solid legal contracts through a contract pack? It’s an extremely important part of running any a successful business, including a podcast.
Benefits of a podcast contract pack
A lot of online contracts out there are free.
But, the problem is they are just generic contracts that are dispersed for any Tom, Dick or Harry on the internet. You don’t want this. These contracts will not hold up in court. Instead, you should go with a custom podcast contract that is tailored to your business’ needs and will protect you in a court of law. These contracts address a long list of modern issues, professionals face in today's industry. From simple things like legal clauses written to educate the client that you're NOT responsible for family members blocking key shots with cell phones or tablets, to making sure clients understand and agree that you have the legal right to sell unused footage to stock websites and so much more! Each contract provides legal clauses specific to that industry-based on feedback from professionals with years of experience. The best part is that with these contracts, YOU WILL have the ability to protect your brand from the common legal issues most creators in the industry face with their clients.
In the Flash Film Academy Contract Pack, you will get seven editable contracts that include:
• Podcast Guest Agreement: A Podcast guest agreement is necessary to make clear to your guest the policies involved for appearing on your podcast. Legal mistakes at the outset can be avoided by the simple execution of a binding legal contract, easy to read and easy to understand, but one that covers all important matters.
• Podcast/Audio Editing Agreement: A clear, comprehensive, easy-to-read and understand contract is necessary in all areas of podcast activities and especially when it comes to the production of the podcast, and the post-production part which includes the audio editing process.
• Podcast Partnership Agreement: A clear and concise co-host/owner, co-creator, co-producer or multiple owner agreement is a must in the production of podcasts, and should be formulated and signed in advance, so that all parties will have a mutual understanding of what their roles are. This will include all rights and ownership to avoid any misunderstandings. • Podcast Sponsorship Agreement: A podcast sponsorship agreement is written and formulated to protect the relationship between you and your sponsor for the podcast. This type of agreement is also suitable when you want to bring in a client purchasing advertising space.
• Studio/Gear and Equipment Rental Agreement: If you are interested in renting out a studio or other space to record a podcast, and this includes special equipment in the making of the podcast, a rental agreement is essential.
• Music License Agreement: A music license agreement is as much protection for you as podcast host/owner as it is for your guest who wants to use their music, song or video on your podcast or in your advertisement. A signed music license agreement will give you licensed use of copyrighted music and will relieve you of misunderstandings and legal battles during the production of the podcast and in the future.
• Service Subscription Agreement: A service subscription agreement contains all relevant details regarding certain services, and will protect you as podcast host/ owner as well as your guest/client when providing an on-going recording of a specific number of podcast episodes over a period of time.
