5 SONG EP PRODUCTION DEAL Terms & Conditions
*An independent investor has come to Advantage Music Production (AMP) seeking to
invest in an up and coming band. This investor chose AMP to produce this 5 SONG EP because of our proven track record of finding great
talent, and producing quality, commercially viable productions in a timely
manner.
Please understand that this is an investment venture for said investor, with the sole purpose of
maximizing a return on this investment. AMP and the investor believe that a production deal should be mutually
beneficial for both parties (investor and band), and with our many years of experience, we feel this
deal benefits both.
This production deal is designed for a band that has a strong potential
for selling recorded music, but needs a financial jump-start getting songs recorded and
put into a sellable package. The band can then take the
revenue they generate from the sale of the EP and use it to pay for recording
more material (finishing a 10 song record for example).
By
submitting an application for this 5 SONG EP PRODUCTION DEAL, you certify that
you and your band members have each read and
understood the terms and conditions below. If something in these terms and conditions is unclear, please feel free to contact us and get clarification.
This is a music production deal only, and includes the producing of the musical
tracks, and duplication of CD’s. Marketing, promoting and
selling the EP is the responsibility of the band.
The band is responsible for all travel expenses to and from Nashville, TN,
including, but not limited to, food, transportation and lodging.
The resale price of the EP cannot exceed $8.00 on the band’s website or concert
performance venue, or any other resale venue.
For the life of the EP, the band agrees to purchase from AMP all CD units of this EP at
the price of $4.00/unit plus shipping, in quantity multiples of 120 units.
AMP owns the copyright to each song on the EP until 1000 units have been
purchased, at which time the copyright owner title will be formally transferred to
the band. Upon transfer of copyright, AMP retains the exclusive right
to duplicate the CD units. If, at some point during the life
of this EP, AMP or the band would like to terminate this exclusive right to
duplicate the CD’s, the terms of the agreement will be renegotiated.
Any monies earned from digital sales of the EP, either individual tracks or
otherwise, the band agrees to pay AMP 50% of the net revenue received.
1000 units must be purchased from AMP within 12 months of production
completion, regardless of, but not limited to, the following: disbandment, loss
of members, loss of concert performances, death, etc. at the unit price stated
above.
In the event that the band defaults on purchasing 1000 units within 12 months,
the balance due will roll into a loan to the undersigned band members, at an interest rate of 10% annually.
AMP reserves the right to package the final EP CD using whatever means
appropriate, including, but not limited to, type of disc, coloring, graphic
design, inserts, type of casing, etc.
AMP is free to use whatever means within their power to complete the 5 SONG EP
PRODUCTION. This includes, but is not limited to quality
control, choosing the musicians, mastering house, mix engineer, graphic
designer, etc. AMP will do it’s best to seek approval from the
band, however, AMP reserves final say in all matters related to the production
and completion of this 5 SONG EP.
