Richhoncho's Songwriters Links Draft Collaborators' Agreement
Many songwriters think a collaboration agreement is necessary. This is not strictly true; if you collaborate on a song then it would be deemed that all expenses and income are split equally. The following draft assumes that position. However, under no circumstance can I take any responsibility for the Agreement, whether amended or otherwise. If you want to be really certain then you need to contact a lawyer and have an Agreement drawn up. Having said that every care has been taken with the Agreement with reference to other similar Agreements.
