3.3 Coach Has Right To Give Client Work Product. The Coach promises that it owns the work product, that the Coach is able to give the work product to the Client, and that no other party will claim that it owns the work product. If the Coach uses employees or subcontractors, the Coach also promises that these employees and subcontractors have signed contracts with the Coach giving the Coach any rights that the employees or subcontractors have related to the Coach's background IP and work product.

6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

6.1 Overview. This Contract imposes special restrictions on how the Client and the Coach must handle confidential information. These obligations are explained in this section.

6.2 The Client's Confidential Information. While working for the Client, the Coach may come across, or be given, Client information that is confidential. This is information like customer lists, business strategies, research & development notes, statistics about a website, and other information that is private. The Coach promises to treat this information as if it is the Coach's own confidential information. The Coach may use this information to do its job under this Contract, but not for anything else. For example, if the Client lets the Coach use a customer list to send out a newsletter, the Coach cannot use those email addresses for any other purpose. The one exception to this is if the Client gives the Coach written permission to use the information for another purpose, the Coach may use the information for that purpose, as well. When this Contract ends, the Coach must give back or destroy all confidential information, and confirm that it has done so. The Coach promises that it will not share confidential information with a third party, unless the Client gives the Coach written permission first. The Coach must continue to follow these obligations, even after the Contract ends. The Coach's responsibilities only stop if the Coach can show any of the following: (i) that the information was already public when the Coach came across it; (ii) the information became public after the Coach came across it, but not because of anything the Coach did or didn't do; (iii) the Coach already knew the information when the Coach came across it and the Coach didn't have any obligation to keep it secret; (iv) a third party provided the Coach with the information without requiring that the Coach keep it a secret; or (v) the Coach created the information on its own, without using anything belonging to the Client.

6.3 Third-Party Confidential Information. It's possible the Client and the Coach each have access to confidential information that belongs to third parties. The Client and the Coach each promise that it will not share with the other party confidential information that belongs to third parties, unless it is allowed to do so. If the Client or the Coach is allowed to share confidential information with the other party and does so, the sharing party promises to tell the other party in writing of any special restrictions regarding that information.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

Neither party is liable for breach-of-contract damages that the breaching party could not reasonably have foreseen when it entered this Contract.

8. INDEMNITY.

8.1 Overview. This section transfers certain risks between the parties if a third party sues or goes after the Client or the Coach or both. For example, if the Client gets sued for something that the Coach did, then the Coach may promise to come to the Client's defense or to reimburse the Client for any losses.

8.2 Client Indemnity. In this Contract, the Coach agrees to indemnify the Client (and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related to a third-party claim or proceeding arising out of: (i) the work the Coach has done under this Contract; (ii) a breach by the Coach of its obligations under this Contract; or (iii) a breach by the Coach of the promises it is making in Section 3 (Representations).

8.3 Coach Indemnity. In this Contract, the Client agrees to indemnify the Coach (and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related to a third-party claim or proceeding arising out of a breach by the Client of its obligations under this Contract.

9. GENERAL.

9.1 Assignment​. This Contract applies only to the Client and the Coach. Neither the Client nor the Coach can assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Contract to a third-party (other than by will or intestate), without first receiving the other's written permission.

9.2 Arbitration. As the exclusive means of initiating adversarial proceedings to resolve any dispute arising under this Contract, a party may demand that the dispute be resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its commercial arbitration rules.

9.3 Modification; Waiver. To change anything in this Contract, the Client and the Coach must agree to that change in writing and sign a document showing their contract. Neither party can waive its rights under this Contract or release the other party from its obligations under this Contract, unless the waiving party acknowledges it is doing so in writing and signs a document that says so.

9.4. Noticies.

(a) Over the course of this Contract, one party may need to send a notice to the other party. For the notice to be valid, it must be in writing and delivered in one of the following ways: personal delivery, email, or certified or registered mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested). The notice must be delivered to the party's address listed at the end of this Contract or to another address that the party has provided in writing as an appropriate address to receive notice.

(b) The timing of when a notice is received can be very important. To avoid confusion, a valid notice is considered received as follows: (i) if delivered personally, it is considered received immediately; (ii) if delivered by email, it is considered received upon acknowledgement of receipt; (iii) if delivered by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), it is considered received upon receipt as indicated by the date on the signed receipt. If a party refuses to accept notice or if notice cannot be delivered because of a change in address for which no notice was given, then it is considered received when the notice is rejected or unable to be delivered. If the notice is received after 5:00pm on a business day at the location specified in the address for that party, or on a day that is not a business day, then the notice is considered received at 9:00am on the next business day.

9.5 Severability. This section deals with what happens if a portion of the Contract is found to be unenforceable. If that's the case, the unenforceable portion will be changed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, unless that change is not permitted by law, in which case the portion will be disregarded. If any portion of the Contract is changed or disregarded because it is unenforceable, the rest of the Contract is still enforceable.

9.6 Signatures. The Client and the Coach must sign this document using Bonsai's e-signing system. These electronic signatures count as originals for all purposes.

9.7 Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this document shall be governed by the laws of the United States of America.

9.8 Entire Contract. This Contract represents the parties' final and complete understanding of this job and the subject matter discussed in this Contract. This Contract supersedes all other contracts (both written and oral) between the parties.

Read on to find out what important elements should be covered on your invoice template.

Essential Elements of a Musician Invoice Template

When creating your musician invoice template you want to make sure all important details are covered including business-related information and payment instructions. At the same time, you want to make it simple and easy to understand for your clients as this will increase your chances of prompt payments.

For flawless musician invoices every time, include the following essential elements on your template.

Musician Information

Start your musician invoice template by adding a section for your stage name, band name, or any business name you may be registered under. Include as well your contact details such as phone number, email address and website if applicable. You can add a few lines to mention the services you specialize in such as wedding performances, recording sessions, conducting orchestras etc.

For more professional invoices, add your business logo, certifications, registered trademarks or any other branding elements that can make your musician invoice stand out and be easily recognizable for your clients.

Venue and Client Information

Next, include a section for the venue and client's contact information. Add their full name, address, phone number, billing address and email address if you are billing via email. You may also include the name of the event you are performing at and the dates of the performance.

Invoice Number and Date

Make sure all of your invoices are numbered to help you keep well-organized accounting records. Keep in mind, if you are providing your services to a large corporation they will not accept invoices without a unique invoice number. You should also add the invoice date (when the invoice is sent out, not created) so you can determine the payment due date and apply any late fees when applicable.

Services Provided

Your musician invoice template must have enough space for a detailed list of the services provided. Include all important details regarding the performance such as number of sets, length agreed upon, as well as your hourly or flat rate. If you are charging on an hourly basis you may also add a timesheet to clearly show the time spent on the performance and leave no room for misunderstandings with your clients.

If you provide any additional services such as performance coaching, song-writing or extra expenses to be charged to your client such as travel costs, provide a short description as well as the cost for each. Even though these extra fees have previously been agreed upon with your clients, make sure you clearly specify what the charges are for.

Totals

The totals section of your musician invoice template should have separate lines to specify the subtotal (cost of all services provided before taxes) then add any applicable service taxes, and provide the final amount due. If you are applying any discounts for charity events, referrals, or corporate clients, this is the ideal section to highlight it. You want to subtract the discount amount from the subtotal, then add the taxes and provide a brief description so your clients know they are getting a great deal for your services.

Payment Terms

If you want to get paid faster, make sure this section of your musician invoice template is as detailed and easy to understand as possible. Start by providing your clients with all the accepted payment methods such as credit/debit cards, cash, checks, online payments or ACH transfers. Include the corresponding bank account numbers, payment links, and mailing address for checks.

Additionally, remind your clients of the payment due date, applicable late fees and payment arrangements available. You may also offer incentives or discounts for early payments.

Notes

Leave a small section at the end of your invoice template to add a personal note or a message to thank your clients for their business. You can also let them know of other services you offer if you think they might be interested, as well as future promotions or referral offers. This simple addition can increase client loyalty and even lead to more gigs.
