SoundCircle Essentials Kit™
R4,995.00
A future-proof contract bundle handcrafted by South African music obsessives.
Why this kit exists
Good music carries emotion, but great careers run on clear agreements. We pulled together the nine instruments every freelancer reaches for—management, bookings, splits, features, sessions, production, performances, and copyright hand-offs—and tuned them to local law, industry norms, and the real-world headaches we’ve seen on the road.
What you actually get
Agreement | What it protects |
Musician Management Agreement | Keeps percentages, post-term commissions, and expense caps airtight. |
Collaboration Agreement | Locks in splits, creative approvals, and release obligations before anyone hits “export.” |
Split Sheet (one-pager) | Five-minute form that kills “Who owns what?” arguments forever. |
Producer Agreement | Sets advances, royalty points, master ownership, and delivery standards. |
Session Musician Agreement | Spells out fee vs. neighbouring-rights share—no more handshake confusion. |
Booking Agent Agreement | Territories, commission, sunset clauses, and minimum-fee protection. |
Performance Agreement | Date, set length, rider, cancellation terms, and livestream rights—all on one page. |
Copyright Assignment / Work-for-Hire | When you’re paid to create but need the legal hand-off done right. |
(Nine docs in total—ready to fill, export, and send.)
Built-in advantages
Plain-English drafting
We swapped legalese for language you can read in the back seat of an Uber between gigs.
South African compliance
Every clause references the Copyright Act, Performers’ Protection Act, and standard VAT rules—no copy-paste imports from US templates that miss the mark.
Commercial realism
Fee-escalation triggers, digital-first royalty definitions, and livestream carve-outs reflect the actual deals being signed in 2025, not the CD era.
Founder-grade IP focus
Each agreement squares copyright, moral rights, neighbouring rights, and licencing in a way that leaves room for sync deals, merch, and brand campaigns down the line.
Lifetime licence
Buy once, use forever—no hidden renewals, no per-band-member pricing.
Investment
Tier | Price | What it says about you |
Founders Edition (first 25 packs) | R4995 | “I lock value in early.” |
Standard | R 5995 | “I know long-term risk costs more than paperwork.” |
