Who does this work for?
This is a must-have for any coach, creative, creator, or entrepreneur who provides services. You know that your client is the person who signs your contract but what happens when a third person is responsible for submitting payment? This happens all the time especially in creative industries like photography and anything wedding related. This simple agreement keeps everything crystal clear without requiring you to alter your standard contract.
Are you thinking that this sounds complicated and why can’t your client just sign and have their parents, boss, some other third party submit payment?
Excellent question! The problem is that you will have no legal relationship with the person responsible for payment and that means you won’t be able to enforce your contract terms. Or worse, it creates ambiguity about who has the power to make decisions regarding your services. Is it the client, like the bride and groom, or is it the mother who is paying the bill? Clarity is gold when providing services, this simple template ensures that everyone understands who is responsible for making decisions. You’re a smart cookie, make it clear everyone.
What’s included? What legal terms should be in a third party payor addendum?
A third party addendum needs to clearly reference a primary client agreement. It should also include what rights, if any, the third party payor has and how communication between everyone involved will be handled. You want it to be clear while not needing to get into the same level of depth as your client agreement. It protects your business but also the client and the third party-payor!
