Booking price [amount and currency]; taxes [ ]; deposit [amount and due date]; balance [amount and due date]; separate disclosed production and promotional charges [ ]; approved expenses [ ]. Pay only the verified contractual recipient against the stated invoice. RIDM’s internal Artist allocation does not create an additional Client charge.

Complete the recipient, ticket-sales calculation basis, reporting and payment dates in the event schedule.

Parties may suspend immediate material safety risks.
6 Rights and permissions
Pre-existing works, artist name and image, designs and recordings remain with their respective owners. Use is limited to expressly approved promotion and services. Recording, livestream, broadcasting, download distribution, reproduction, merchandising, master ownership, territory, term and monetization require a signed schedule identifying each work and permission. Revenue percentages do not themselves transfer copyright or other rights. No blanket moral-rights waiver is included. Obtain third-party clearances before production or release.
7 Merchandise and co-produced media
When RIDM supplies licensed physical merchandise, attach products, quantities, pricing, sales location, collection, taxes, unsold stock and reconciliation. Artist-facing RIDM shares are 70% RIDM / 30% Artist for RIDM-produced or reproduced physical merchandise and 30% RIDM / 70% Artist for authorized RIDM co-produced downloads and promotional media. These allocations do not grant Client a share or define Client charges. Client compensation, if any, requires a separate written schedule.
8 Cancellation and customer refunds
Complete terms for Client cancellation, artist unavailability, venue closure, nonpayment and approved rescheduling, including deposit treatment, approved unrecoverable costs and mitigation.

Parties first negotiate, then use the agreed mediation procedure [ ].
