- Effective date: October 19, 2026

The signature captured on WAM is a simple electronic signature (also called a standard or common electronic signature). It is not an advanced or qualified electronic signature, it is not issued with a certificate from an accredited provider and it is not equivalent to notarization.
1. Scope#
This Policy governs the generation, upload, negotiation, approval, signature, retention, download and completion of contracts between Artists and Contractors through WAM.
By accepting it, each User agrees to use electronic means to express consent, receive documents and keep evidence. Each party can download the final document for their records.
2. WAM's role#
WAM provides tools and a base template, but it is not a party to the Artistic contract, does not represent either party, and does not provide legal advice. Its involvement in payments is limited to what is described in the Pricing and Payments Policy. Artist and Contractor are responsible for determining whether the document reflects their intent, complies with applicable law and contains the necessary terms: fees and payment method, permits, taxes, copyright, immigration, safety, insurance and others.
WAM's template organizes the data supplied by Users and does not replace professional review in complex transactions. A Contractor who attaches their own contract warrants that they may use it and that it contains no unlawful or malicious material.
Creating a contract requires both Artist and Contractor to have verified profiles. Verification reduces certain impersonation risks but does not guarantee absolute identity, current authority, solvency or future performance. Each party remains responsible for checking the counterparty according to the risk of the transaction.
3. Contract types#
3.1. Contract generated by WAM#
This is the Platform's main option. The Contractor completes the engagement fields and the Platform inserts the contractual and profile data into the current template, including both parties' identification data (for example, the Artist's legal name, nationality, document number, address, phone number and email, and the Contractor's legal name, tax identification, address, representative, phone number and email). To generate it, those data must be complete in the profiles. Before sending it, the Contractor must review the full document and correct any incorrect data by creating a new version.
3.2. Own contract attached#
The Contractor may upload their own document in PDF, DOC or DOCX format, up to 25 MB. WAM identifies that the source is a Contractor contract. Uploading a new version does not erase previous history. Both parties must be able to review the file before accepting or signing it. The final attached version must be in PDF format to enable signing within WAM. When it is signed, WAM appends an electronic signature page to the PDF.
4. Financial terms#
The financial terms in the contract (fees, currency, expenses and payment deadlines) are freely agreed by the parties.
The Artist's fees are paid through WAM: when the contract is signed, the Contractor transfers to WAM 100% of the fees, with no surcharge, within the deadline set by the contract, and WAM pays the Artist their fees minus a 5% platform fee, according to the payout option the Artist chose when accepting (a full or partial advance, with an additional 6% fee on the net amount advanced, or payment when WAM receives the transfer, with no additional fee). Contracts created before October 14, 2026 keep their terms (the Contractor pays the fees plus 5%). The contract shows the breakdown of amounts. Other financial obligations that the contract places on the Contractor are performed as agreed between the parties. See the Pricing and Payments Policy.
5. Versions and traceability#
Each substantial change creates a new identified version. The history records version number, date, author, role, action, comments and status. Previous versions are kept to evidence the negotiation and cannot be silently replaced.
A version sent to the Artist is locked for direct editing. Change requests, counteroffers or corrections give rise to a new version. Approvals of a previous version have no effect on the new one.
6. Negotiation and final approval#
The Artist may accept, request changes to or reject a version sent. The Contractor may respond and create another version using the available actions.
To accept, the Artist must choose their payout option and have their payout details registered. At final approval and at signature, each party expressly accepts the payment and payout terms for that version. If a new version is generated, the Artist must choose their payout option again.
Editing is locked as final when both parties approve the same version. If either party proposes later changes, a new version must be created and both approvals obtained again.
Approval on the Platform evidences agreement with the identified content but does not replace a signature where the parties or the law require one.
7. Consent to electronic signature#
Each signer declares that:
- they are the person identified in their account or their authorized representative;
- they reviewed the full version displayed before signing;
- they understand that typing their full name, drawing their signature and confirming the action expresses their intent to be bound by that version;
- they accept that the document and electronic records may be used as evidence; and
- they have the means to download or request a copy.
If you do not wish to sign electronically, do not confirm the action; you may agree with the other party on another signing method outside WAM.
8. Legal nature of the signature used#
WAM's signature consists of a handwritten stroke drawn on screen, linked to an account, name, role, contract version, date and time and technical evidence. It is a simple (common) electronic signature.
Many legal systems recognize legal effects for simple electronic signatures, although, if challenged, the party relying on it may have to prove its validity and authorship. For example, in the United States the federal E-SIGN Act and state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (including Florida's) recognize electronic signatures; in the European Union the eIDAS Regulation provides that an electronic signature may not be denied legal effect solely because it is electronic; and in Latin America laws such as Uruguay's Law No. 18,600 contain equivalent rules.
This signature is not an advanced or qualified electronic signature, is not equivalent to notarization or in-person identity verification, and does not absolutely guarantee authorship. Some acts may by law require a special form. The parties may agree on an additional advanced, notarial or in-person signature when the risk, amount or legislation makes it advisable.
9. Technical evidence#
To link the signature to the document and preserve its integrity, WAM records:
- contract identifier and exact version;
- signer's account, name and role;
- image of the handwritten stroke;
- date and time;
- IP address and user agent of the device used to sign;
- acceptance of the payment and payout terms of that version;
- cryptographic hash of the signature image;
- cryptographic hash of the contract PDF (for own contracts, of the signed PDF); and
- prior approvals and events.
These records are processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy. The hash makes it possible to detect changes but does not, by itself, prove identity, capacity or absence of coercion.
In addition, the Platform only lets Users who have accepted the current version of the Terms and the Privacy Policy create, negotiate and sign contracts; when they change, the app asks for acceptance again before continuing. The record of each acceptance (date and time, version, IP address and user agent) forms part of the evidence of the engagement.
10. Signing order#
The flow is:
- final approval by the Contractor and the Artist of the same version;
- Contractor signature;
- Artist signature;
- generation of the PDF with both signatures (each signer's stroke image, name and date; the technical evidence in section 9 is kept in WAM's records and is not printed on the PDF);
- availability for download by both parties; and
- sending by email of the payment instructions to the Contractor and of the payout plan to the Artist.
Until both signatures are recorded, the status shows signature pending. Once signed by both parties, the contract is locked and cannot be edited. If PDF generation fails, the parties should check the status before acting.
11. Contract completion and reviews#
After the event end date stated in the contract, either party may mark a signed contract as completed on the Platform, whether or not WAM has recorded the payments. Marking it as completed indicates that, according to that party, the performance took place; it is not a waiver of claims or a confirmation of payment. The status of payments is recorded separately in the contract details. If a party disagrees with the contract being marked as completed, it may report this to [email protected].
Once the contract is completed, the Contractor may leave a review of the Artist with a rating of 1 to 5 stars and an optional comment. Only one review is allowed per completed contract, and the Artist does not review the Contractor. The review cannot be edited or deleted in the app; the average rating is shown on the Artist's public profile and the reviews to signed-in Users. Reviews must comply with the Community Guidelines.
12. Authority and capacity#
Anyone signing on behalf of an organization warrants that they have sufficient authority and that the representative's details are correct. WAM may request documents, but its review does not replace each party's duty to verify authority when the risk warrants it.
No one may sign on behalf of another person, share credentials, forge a stroke or use a compromised account. Any suspicion must be reported immediately to [email protected].
13. Integrity, corrections and annexes#
A signed contract is not modified. Any later correction must be made by an amendment, annex or new contract identifying the previous document, the change, its effective date and the parties' acceptance or signature.
Errors detected before signature require a new version. WAM may correct a purely technical display error without altering the content, keeping a record when it affects the final file.
14. Retention and access#
Both parties can view and download the signed contract while their accounts are active. Keeping your own copy is recommended. WAM retains the contract, its versions and signature evidence according to the criteria in the Privacy Policy.
Closing an account does not automatically delete contracts or evidence that must be retained. To request a copy or report an access problem: [email protected].
15. Language and discrepancies#
The contractual version chosen by the parties governs. Text entered by Users is not legally translated by WAM.
If there is a discrepancy between the on-screen summary and the PDF, the parties must stop the process, report it and not sign until the version is corrected.
16. Lawful purpose and third-party rights#
WAM may prevent or remove contracts with a manifestly unlawful, fraudulent or discriminatory purpose or one contrary to third-party rights. The parties are responsible for repertoire licenses, copyright and performers' rights, image, recording, broadcasting and subsequent exploitation.
Engaging a performance does not in itself grant permission to record, reproduce, broadcast or commercially exploit the image, performance or repertoire. Those rights must be expressly agreed with their holders.
17. Contract law and disputes between the parties#
The parties should agree in the Artistic contract on the law and jurisdiction applicable to their relationship. If they do not, these will be determined under the applicable rules of private international law; WAM cannot guarantee that a choice is valid in every country. The governing law and jurisdiction of WAM's Terms govern each User's relationship with WAM, not the Artistic contract.
Disputes about the authorship of a signature, authority, consent or content may be reported to [email protected]. WAM may preserve the records and cooperate with valid legal requests, but it does not act as a court or arbitrator between the parties.
