The Legal Risk Score of a Speaker Agreement Template
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The agreement includes stipulations for cancellation that could result in financial loss, such as forfeiting a deposit or incurring additional fees, depending on who cancels and when.
- The document grants the Organiser a license to use the Speaker's presentation materials for limited purposes, which might restrict the Speaker’s control over how their content is used post-event.
- The timing and method of payment, including a potential interest charge on late payments, could affect cash flow and financial planning for both parties involved.
