Model agreements help people and organisations in the cultural field to draw up clear and legally secure agreements with minimum effort and (legal) costs when creating content that’s protected by intellectual property rights. In most cases there are two parties involved: a client and a contractor, either as individuals or organisations/companies. When no (written) agreements are drawn up, the client pays the contractor only for carrying out the assignment, in which case there are no agreements about the intellectual property rights or the use of the content created. In this case, this means that all rights rest with the content creator and that others – including the client – need to ask the creator for permission for every use.
