Generally, Performance Contracts are used by venues and event managers to set out the terms and conditions of the upcoming performance to the performer. Performance Contracts can also be used by the performer themselves, or the performer's agency.
For example, a wedding singer could use a Performance Contract to present the terms and conditions of the performance to their client (the bride, groom, or wedding planner) as part of the event planning process.
Other examples of independent contractors that should use a Performance Contract include bands, DJs, clowns, magicians, dancers or dance groups, and artists.
An entertainment venue can use a Performance Contract to protect their interests in terms of scheduling acts and managing cancellations, accidents, illnesses, and other unforeseen events.
