Do I need to create a contract for my project?

Consortio users are supported by a set of Terms that include information usually found in commissioning contracts. By using Consortio, composers and ensembles are implicitly agreeing to abide by these Terms, which is considered binding in a court of law.

Does Consortio provide terms for a project?

Yes. Within the Terms of the Site there is a default set of Terms for projects. These include, but are not limited to, the following terms related specifically to composers:

Agreements

Composers agree to upload their final score on or before the delivery deadline they choose for the project.

Rights

Composers reserve all rights (performance, publication, sale, recording) to the finished work following the nine month premiere window.

Protections

Consortio's model provides built-in protections for composers and project members.

Composers' fees are available and protected because project members pay in advance of the member goal deadline.

For a complete list of project terms, please refer to the full Terms of the site.

Can I adapt or change the project terms?

Generally, no. If you feel strongly that you need to customize terms for one or more projects, please contact us directly.
