They\u2019re both so excited to start working with you and can\u2019t wait to dot their \u2018I\u2019s\u2019 and cross their \u2019T\u2019s.\u2019 They know you\u2019re the one for them and want to sign your agreement. It\u2019s just a formality anyway, right? (Eeek! Not quite\u2026)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Or maybe you\u2019re entering a new business venture, eager to license out your work to start earning some of that \u201cpassive income\u201d everyone talks about. When it comes time to sign, do you know what name will be in the agreement and whose signature will be at the bottom? Yours, right? (Maybe not.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">One of the most important parts of signing an <a href=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.reliablepenguin.com\/online-contract\">online contract<\/a> is getting the parties correct. Sounds easy, but in practice, it isn\u2019t always so straightforward. Let\u2019s take a closer look at who should be signing contracts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">A contract is merely an agreement of expectations and obligations between two or more people or parties. A \u2018real person\u2019 can enter these agreements, like Jane Doe, but so can a company, such as XYZ Calligraphy Co., LLC<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>The Eager Bride<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">So let\u2019s go back to the eager bride and her mom. If her mom is paying you, should she sign? Probably. The person(s) who signs your agreement is the one you are legally obligated to serve.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>However, even if mom doesn\u2019t sign but she\u2019s still paying (and you know this), mom probably needs to sign your agreement too. This is because if something goes wrong, the person you want to pay you is not obligated to pay you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Allowing mom to sign by herself could result in a huge headache if she and her daughter have differing opinions about what they want from you. You are responsible to mom and daughter collectively. However, there\u2019s the added benefit of being able to collect your payment from either\/or person if one person doesn\u2019t pay on time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Obviously, if a bride is willing and able to pay for your services herself, or doesn\u2019t indicate otherwise, the bride will likely be the only person signing your agreement. There\u2019s not one \u2018right\u2019 course of action, but you should think about who it is you want to work with when selecting your clients and allowing them to work with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>And how about that licensing agreement?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">When you enter into a licensing agreement for your photos, patterns, artwork, etc., it\u2019s always prudent to enter into these things as a business rather than a person from a liability perspective. One of the advantages afforded to business entities (LLC, SCorp, Inc., et cetera) is that they have the ability to enter into agreements, with all the obligations, burdens, expectations and so forth heaved onto the business entity rather than a person. For example, if you signed an agreement as your company, \u201cJane Doe LLC,\u201d Jane Doe LLC would be responsible for the costs of litigation and any damages (payments the court says you owe to the person who sued you.) This means no matter how much money the court says Jane Doe LLC owes, they generally couldn\u2019t touch Jane Doe\u2019s personal assets. Jane Doe LLC might lose it all, but Jane Doe still has her car, her house and her kid\u2019s college fund.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that after the contract comes an invoice. Make sure that the information on the contract is the same as on the <a href=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.reliablepenguin.com\/online-invoices\">online invoice<\/a>. If you use a system like HoneyBook with built-in <a href=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.reliablepenguin.com\/online-payment-software\">online payment software<\/a>, your life will also be much easier when it comes to retrieving payment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Make contracts easy. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/honeybook.com\/?utm_source=RTSBlog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sign-up for HoneyBook.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Where do the parties matter most?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The parties or persons matter in three main areas:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">1. The introduction of the contract, where you introduce the parties or people signing the agreement. For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"> This Agreement is made between Jane Doe LLC (herein known as \u201cPhotographer\u201d) and Eager Bride (herein known as \u201cBride\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"> This Agreement is made between Jane Doe LLC (herein known as \u201cLicensor\u201d) and Big Licensing Co., Inc. (herein known as \u201cLicensee\u201d.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">2. In the agreement, referring to the people or parties properly by the titles given to them in the introduction. For example, consistently referring to the people or parties as Photographer, Bride, Licensor, Licensee, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">3. At the conclusion of the agreement where the parties or persons sign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2977\" style=\"border: #efefef;\" src=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Screenshot-2016-01-03-10.46.13.png\" alt=\"Who Should Sign My Contract | via the Rising Tide Society\" width=\"1530\" height=\"548\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Key Takeaways<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">There\u2019s no one \u201cright\u201d way to do all this.
