Arts Law's Sample Agreements are produced with explanatory notes and sample wording for each clause. They have been created to assist low income creators and organisations in drafting contracts suitable for their needs.

Arts Law's Sample Agreements (with explanatory notes) are non-editable PDF files. You are advised to follow the purchasing directions and save the file to your computer for use as a template. As they are non-editable PDF files you will need to re-type the agreement with your own amendments. Arts Law does not offer refunds or exchanges on sample agreements and publications.
However Arts Law is excited to announce that all Visual Arts agreements are now available in PDF version (non-editable), Word version (editable) and Word version for legal professionals (editable). Please click HERE for these agreements.
