The Performer shall not be liable to Client for any loss of damage that may arise out of a delay in the performance or non-performance of its obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement where the cause of the delay or non-performance is due to causes beyond the control of the Performer, including pandemic, epidemic, tempest, storm, flood, fire, sabotage, riots, civil unrest, acts and policies of any Federal or State government and/or their Agencies, power grid failure and Acts of God.
For the avoidance of doubt it is hereby agreed upon that any new outbreaks of the Covid-19 virus, and any mutations arising herefrom (e.g. Alpha-, Beta-, Gamma-, Delta-strain etc.), shall not be considered an act of god.
This Agreement or any part of it shall be governed by, construed, and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of [State] and shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in [County], [State].
User Note: To avoid any misunderstanding and unnecessary problems, the Entertainment to be provided should be described in as much detail as possible.
The Performer should carefully specify all the items that are required from the Client to successfully deliver the Entertainment. This should at least cover the space required to set up and operate the equipment and the power supply required.
Full back-end payments should be avoided as they can often lead to no-payment situations, particularly where a dispute arises. By requiring an upfront deposit, the Performer will be assured of some payment for his/her work. Where possible the balance of the agreed fee should be paid immediately after delivery of the Entertainment completed.
The User Note is intended for guidance only and does not in any way constitute legal advice and Users should treat it accordingly.

Nos bastidores de cada grande show ao vivo está um contrato trabalhando tão duro quanto o ato no palco — o contrato de performance ao vivo.
Um contrato de performance ao vivo é um contrato entre o cliente (o local) e um artista quando o artista é contratado para fornecer serviços de entretenimento em um evento.
Um contrato de performance ao vivo ou acordo é entre um artista, seja uma banda, grupo, ato solo ou seu representante (como um gerente), e o proprietário do local ou promotor responsável pela organização da performance.
O acordo delineia os direitos e responsabilidades de todas as partes envolvidas na performance e abrange aspectos cruciais como segurança, compensação e agendamento.
Também inclui cláusulas (demandas) que os artistas intérpretes ou executantes desejam que sejam atendidas antes de subir ao palco. E algumas delas são extravagantes. Van Halen gosta que todos os M&M's marrons sejam removidos da tigela de doces do grupo, e Kanye West gosta de uma máquina de slushy de Coca-Cola e Hennessy antes de subir ao palco.
Apesar do que está no contrato, é um documento vinculativo que garante comunicação clara e colaboração para um evento ao vivo bem-sucedido e organizado.
O contrato de performance ao vivo, contrato de performance musical ou mesmo apenas contrato de performance delineia a natureza e a extensão dos serviços que o artista fornece, detalhes sobre como a performance será conduzida e os termos de pagamento acordados.
Especificamente para a indústria de performances, o contrato pode incluir diretrizes do show, depósitos, políticas de cancelamento e outras cláusulas adaptadas aos aspectos únicos do evento ao vivo.
Embora os contratos de performance sejam tipicamente concisos e diretos, podem ser adaptados à complexidade do evento, com expectativas mais extensas delineadas para ocasiões maiores.
O que vai para o contrato de performance varia com base no tipo de performance. Com isso em mente, aqui está a informação mais comumente incluída em contratos de performance ao vivo:
Os contratos de performance ao vivo geralmente precisam ser assinados pelo artista ou seus gerentes e pelo local ou promotor do evento.
As performances ao vivo vão além apenas de músicos e bandas e incluem uma ampla gama de artistas, incluindo:
