Parties & Scope
Identify contracting entities, authorized representatives, and a precise description of services and system scope, including attachments for specifications and drawings to avoid ambiguity.
A clear AV Technology Agreement aligns expectations, limits liability, and documents service levels and deliverables. It reduces disputes over equipment condition, scope changes, testing, and final acceptance by providing objective criteria and contractual remedies.
Event producers, venue operators, AV integrators, and procurement or facilities teams commonly prepare or review AV Technology Agreements before work begins.
Legal, technical, and finance stakeholders should each review the agreement: technical accuracy, commercial terms, and insurance or indemnity provisions respectively.
Identify contracting entities, authorized representatives, and a precise description of services and system scope, including attachments for specifications and drawings to avoid ambiguity.
List all hardware, models, serial numbers, software versions, and spare parts with ownership status and conditions for substitution or upgrades.
Define installation steps, testing, acceptance criteria, response times for service requests, preventive maintenance schedules, and remedies for missed service levels.
Specify payment milestones, deposit amounts, invoicing schedule, late-payment charges, taxes, and whether taxes or permits are included or extra.
Allocate responsibility for damage, property loss, and third-party claims; require proof of insurance and minimum coverage limits and name additional insureds where appropriate.
Provide a written change-order process for scope modifications, cost adjustments, and a termination clause that covers notice, cure periods, and final accounting.
