Summary
- A 360 contract covers multiple sources of an artist's revenue: recording, touring, merchandising, and other commercial activities.

- The document is provided in Word and PDF and is part of the MusiLaw ecosystem of over 120 templates.
What is a 360 contract ?
A 360 contract expands the scope of a traditional label agreement. Instead of just sharing revenue from recordings, the agreement may also cover other sources of income: tours, merchandising, partnerships, or other activities of the artist.
In return, the label can engage more broadly in financing, promotion, and career development. The contract must therefore clearly define the relevant income, applicable percentages, and the duration of the commitment.
Why consider a 360 agreement ?
- Expanded label support — financing, promotion, and support on various aspects of the artist's development.
- Various sources of income — the contract can organize the distribution of income related to recording, live performances, merchandising, or partnerships.
- Long-term relationship — the agreement generally aims for broader development than just a simple project or a single release.
- Defined legal framework — each party can clearly identify its rights, obligations, compensation, and exit conditions.
What is included in the template.
- Distribution of income according to the different sources covered by the agreement
- Co-publishing clause between the label and the artist
- Duration of the contract and renewal terms
- Obligations for promotion and development

Rivage Studio — Independent label
Before signing.
What is a 360 agreement?
An agreement between a label and an artist that can cover multiple revenue sources — recordings, tours, merchandising — rather than just recordings.
What are the benefits for the artist?
The principle is to benefit from broader support from the label in exchange for revenue sharing across multiple activities. The balance depends particularly on the percentages, obligations, and revenues included in the agreement.
Is the template customisable?
Yes. The document is provided in Word format in order to adapt the duration, percentages, and revenue sources covered according to the negotiations.
What is the usual duration of a 360 agreement?
The duration depends on the negotiation between the parties. It must be clearly indicated in the contract, as well as any potential renewal options.
Does this contract replace a lawyer?
No. A template serves as a working basis to customize. A complex negotiation or one with significant financial stakes may require appropriate legal advice.
