endorsement. It is important to clarify this as a project could be
compromised or trivialised if it is seen as purely pandering to
commercial interests. If necessary, annex a diagram indicating
where such banners, naming rights etc. can be positioned.
7. copyright ? a sponsor may request that it be able to use your work
to promote directly or indirectly its product or service. If approval
is given then you will need to set out whether the authority to
reproduce an artwork is exclusive or non-exclusive, its term, its
territory and the type of use allowed. Consideration should also
be given to moral rights issues such as receiving an appropriate
credit and ensuring that the work is not altered or treated so as
to trivialise your reputation. Musicians and writers, in particular,
should carefully check the terms of any publishing contracts and
other agreements with third parties as there may be a restriction
on granting these rights.
8. termination ? there should be a termination clause that provides
for termination by written notice in the event that either party fails
to perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of the
contract. This may be for failure of the sponsor to pay an instalment
or where the event is cancelled or significantly varied.
9. disputes ? agreement should contain necessary provision for
resolution of any possible disputes arising thereform.

Distributor harmless from and against any and all claims, damages
liabilities, costs and expenses, including legal expenses and reasonable
out of pocket attorneys? fees, arising out of any alleged breach or breach

herein. In connection therewith, Company will notify Artist of any action
commenced on such a claim. Artist may participate in the defence of any
such claim through counsel of Artist?s selection at Artist?s sole expense, but
Company shall have the right at times, in Company?s discretion, to retain
or resume control of the conduct of such defence. Artist shall reimburse
Company on demand for any payment made at any time after the date
hereof in respect of any liability or claim in respect of which Company is
entitled to be indemnified hereunder. Upon the making or filing of any such
claim, action or demand, Company shall be entitled to withhold from any
amounts payable to Artist under this Agreement such amounts as are
reasonably related to the potential liability in issue. Company will within
thirty (30) days after receipt of Artist?s written request liquidate any sums
held pursuant to the foregoing sentence in the event that such claim has
not resulted in the commencement of litigation within one (1) year after
Company receives notice of such claim; provided, however that such
payment shall not limit Company?s right to thereafter withhold sums ifCh. 72] SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENT?FORMS 839

imminent.
16. Independent Contractor.?Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be deemed to create the relationship of employer employee or any
other relationship other than that of independent contractor between Artist

payments (e.g. withholding, disability, etc.) inconsistent with Artist?s status
as an independent contractor, such payments shall be recoupable from any
