Document background
The Music Video Contract serves as the foundational legal document for producing and distributing music videos under Swiss jurisdiction. It is essential when an artist, record label, or music publisher engages a production company or director to create a professional music video. The contract comprehensively covers production specifications, budget allocation, creative control, intellectual property rights, and distribution terms. Under Swiss law, particular attention is paid to copyright protection (URG/LDA), personality rights (ZGB/CC), and data protection (FADP/DSG). The document is crucial for protecting all parties' interests and ensuring clear communication of expectations, deliverables, and legal obligations throughout the production process.
