Afm Contract Form PDF Details

The AFM Contract form, outlined by the American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada, establishes a structured agreement between musicians and purchasers for local engagements, emphasizing its exclusivity to the United States. This detailed document ensures a transparent and legally binding arrangement by specifying the names, addresses, engagement types, compensation terms, and scheduling details right at the outset. Its clauses are meticulous, covering payment procedures, performance regulations, and especially the prohibition of recording, reproducing, or transmitting performances without explicit authorization, safeguarding the musicians' rights. Moreover, it elaborately addresses the resolution of controversies or claims through outlined arbitration processes, underlining options for both parties and detailing the escalation route from the Local Union to the International Executive Board of the Federation. Additionally, it underscores the federation and local union's roles, not as direct parties to the contract but as enforcers and arbiters of the terms agreed upon, ensuring that all regulations are adhered to, and any disputes are fairly resolved. The contract also delineates provisions for unforeseeable circumstances that might affect the musicians' ability to perform, thereby offering protection against liabilities under such conditions. This document thereby acts as a comprehensive guide and safeguard for both the musicians and the purchasers, illustrating the federation's commitment to fair play, transparency, and the professional welfare of its members.

Form L-1, Rev. 8/07

6.No performance or rehearsal shall be recorded, reproduced or transmitted from the place of performance, in any manner or by any means whatsoever, in the absence of a specific written agreement with or approved in writing by the American Federation of Musicians (“Federation”) relating to and permitting such recording, reproduction or transmission. This prohibition shall not be subject to any procedure of arbitration and the American Federation of Musicians (“Federation”) may enforce this prohibition in any court of competent jurisdiction.

7.This contract, and the terms and conditions contained herein, may be enforced by the Purchaser, and its agents, and by each musician who is a party to this contract or whose name appears on the contract or who has, in fact, performed the engagement contracted for (herein called “participating musicians(s)”), and by the agent or agent(s) of each participating musician, including the Local Union. It is expressly understood by the Purchaser and the musician(s) who are parties to this contract that neither the Federation nor the Local Union are parties to this contract in any capacity except as expressly provided in 7 above and, therefore, that neither the Federation nor the Local Union shall be liable for the performance or breach of any provision hereof.

8.Resolution of controversies or claims: Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or breach thereof, shall be submitted to arbitration under one of the following procedures to be selected by the purchaser at the time that this contract is signed, by placing his or her initials in the box adjacent to the procedure selected. In the event that neither box is initialed, it will be presumed that the purchaser has chosen the procedures set forth in “B”:

A.(American Arbitration Association) Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the Award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The cost of the arbitration proceeding, except those costs personally incurred by the parties hereto for the presentation of their own case, shall be shared equally by the Purchaser and the Signatory Musician(s).

B.(Local Union) Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration by the Executive Board or other body of the Local Union charged with the responsibility of settling such controversy or claim. All rulings and awards made by the Local Union in arbitration hereunder may be appealed to the International Executive Board of the Federation (herein called “IEB”) by any party who was a participant therein. Appeals from such proceedings shall be perfected in the manner provided in the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the IEB in effect at the time of such appeal. All rulings and awards made by the Local Union in arbitration which are not appealed to the IEB shall be final and binding upon the Purchaser and participating musician(s) and all rulings and awards made by the IEB on appeal shall be final and binding upon the Purchaser and participating musician(s). Any party to an arbitration proceeding before the Local Union or to an arbitration appeal to the IEB may bring an action to confirm or enforce a final determination and award of the Local Union or, if appealed, of the IEB in the courts of the jurisdiction in which the office of the Local Union is located; and the Purchaser and participating musician(s) agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such court or courts for that purpose.

9.A representative of the Local Union shall have access to the place of engagement covered by this contract for purposes of communicating with the musician(s) performing the engagement and the Purchaser.

10.The agreement of the musicians to perform is subject to sickness, accidents, riots, strikes, epidemics, acts of God, or any other legitimate conditions beyond their control.
