DJ Agreement

A DJ Agreement is a document used by two parties where an individual DJ (someone who provides music and/or audiovisual services for an event) or company that provides DJs agrees to render DJ services to a client. This Agreement allows the DJ and the client to outline the scope of their relationship and describe the specifics of the DJ services that will be provided. This document can be used by clients, such as event planners, venues, or individuals who wish to hire a DJ or a DJ company or individual DJ who intends to provide those services to a client.

Often, individuals enter into business relationships without having all of the details of the parties' relationship with each other written down. By discussing the specifics of the Agreement ahead of time, both the service provider and the client can make sure that their needs and wishes about the business relationship are known and respected.

This document is specifically for services related to someone providing DJ services. This website also has a general purpose service agreement that can be used for someone providing a different kind of services.

How to use this document

This document covers all of the important information necessary for a DJ or DJ company to enter into a business relationship with a client including the following details:

• Pertinent identifying details for both parties involved
• Specifics of the services that will be provided
• Responsibilities of the DJ and Client, including knowledge of sound mixing, local noise ordinances, and lighting, as well as arriving in advance to set up and playing guests' requests when reasonable and able
• Amount of compensation the DJ will receive, including late fees, over time, and retainer fees or deposits as applicable
• Details about when and how the Agreement will be terminated
• Adherence to confidentiality and warranty provisions guaranteeing the quality of the work

The DJ and the client can discuss the terms of the Agreement and create and sign the final Agreement together prior to the work actually beginning. This Agreement can also be created after the work has already begun for the purpose of clarifying the relationship between and the responsibilities of all of the involved parties. After inputting the required information, the Agreement is printed out and signed by both Parties, and then kept on file by both Parties for the duration of the Agreement as well as for a reasonable period of time thereafter.

Applicable law

All Service Agreements are subject to both federal and state laws that cover general contract principles governing how contracts are created and interpreted by courts. Federal laws sometimes restrict what services can be contracted for (for example, illegal services may not be contracted for) as well as guidelines for broad categories, like contracting for something that looks more like an employment relationship. Individual state laws generally govern the interpretation of the contract in case of a dispute.
