I would like to receive contract advisory. Is it possible?

Hello. I will answer regarding contract advisory related to the entertainment business.

As the most standard method, the standard contract related to services between popular culture artists and businesses, agreed upon by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Fair Trade Commission, can be used.

Of course, it is important to accurately specify the parties to the contract and the contract period, and to seek mutual development and benefits.

In addition, when concluding a contract through special clauses or separate terms and conditions, you must carefully check whether there are any unfair terms and conditions clauses.

Examples of unfair terms and conditions clauses

▶ Violation of the principle of good faith

▶ Clauses that exclude legal liability due to one party's intent or gross negligence

▶ Clauses that exclude or limit one party's warranty liability without good reason

▶ Clauses that impose unfairly excessive damages obligations on one party

▶ Clauses that consider one party's expression of intent as not being expressed in certain cases

Also, according to the Popular Culture and Arts Industry Development Act, planners, that is, agencies, must make efforts to protect the privacy of popular culture artists and prevent damage to their honor.

If the duty to maintain business confidentiality related to this is violated, a fine of up to 10 million won may be imposed.
