BB restraint clause
Posted: Sun Sep 14, 2008 7:00 am
"5 EXCLUSIVITY: The Performer shall not for the duration of this Agreement plus 1 further year provide to any person other than the Company the Performer's services in respect of films and/or photographic productions and/or internet and/or newspaper or magazine or other publishable materials and/or dancing and/or any other public appearances whether for free or for payment without the prior written permission of the Company."
That's a seriously restraining clause you posted in the longer thread.
Earlier you claimed that only BG was prevented, but that isn't what your clause says.
(This claim in a public board would of course now be evidence in any case if you try and prevent non BG work. After all, you clearly expect to use producers posts to show that they were aware of your contracts...)
But that clause hits ALL a girls income options. Such clauses have been found unenforceable, because between lawyers and ordinary people lattitude is granted by the courts. Essentially "would the person have signed if they had understood AT THE TIME the implications".
I would strongly advise any CG to either get BB to agree to an amending letter that narrows it to BG, or talk to a lawyer about a challenge.
And the first law of contract law is :-
Any contact can be changed at any time by the agreement of all parties to the contract.
Cheers
