Contracts & payments

# Close deals sooner and pay everyone on time

Acts and suppliers sign your contract online, and you settle each show from its ticket sales.

A small team that works like a big one.

- Contracts signed without printing a page
- See what you owe and when
- Each show settled from its ticket sales

## Get your contracts back signed sooner

You can send the contract as soon as the deal is agreed. The act, trader or supplier signs on their phone or computer without making an account.

You start it from an accepted offer, a booked act, an approved trader or a supplier's quote, send it by email for signature, then countersign. If something changes after signing, you add an amendment.

- **Contracts from your deals**: each contract starts from the offer, the act, the trader or the quote
- **Signature by email**: no account to make before signing
- **Amendments**: you can change a signed contract without losing the signed version

## Check an agent's contract against your offer, term by term

When an agent accepts your offer, Fai, your AI teammate, finds their contract, invoice and riders in your connected mailbox, or in files you add, and tells you what each one is.

You see their contract compared with your offer term by term in plain words, then you upload the countersigned copy. You see their invoice in Payments due and your budget, and Fai fills in the act's advance from their riders for you to accept.

- **Found by Fai**: the contract, invoice and riders the agent sends
- **Compared with your offer**: fee, deposit, due dates, show date, set length and cancellation
- **New versions**: you see what changed before you use it

     ![Ticket Fairy Event Operating System: Check an agent's contract against your offer, term by term](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-event-agent-paperwork--acts.png)

## Send contracts and packs to everyone in one step

You can make a contract for each booked act, approved trader or supplier from one template, each filled in from their own record.

You check every contract in a single preview and send them for signature with one approval. Each kind of contact can get a pack with your site rules, the map and their own day sheet, contract and rider, emailed to all of them at once. You see who opened it.

- **Send several**: one template, each contract filled in from its record
- **Document packs**: each person opens their own pack without an account
- **Results**: who got it, who opened it and who signed

     ![Ticket Fairy Event Operating System: Send contracts and packs to everyone in one step](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-event-contract-batches--send-several.png)

## Pay every deposit, balance and supplier on time

You always know what you owe and when. Payments due shows each deposit, balance, per diem, backline and supplier payment as overdue, due this week or coming up.

You mark each one paid when the money goes, and can reverse any you marked by mistake.

- **Payments due**: overdue, due this week and coming up
- **Purchase orders**: you send a PO, match the supplier's invoice to it and count it in your budget
- **Reversals**: you can undo a payment marked by mistake and keep the history

## Settle each show faster, with figures the artist can check

Fai drafts each settlement from your ticket sales, your costs and the deal, and each line shows how its figure was worked out.

You can add or reverse lines, share it with the artist's team and mark it agreed or paid.

- **Drafted settlements**: from your ticket sales, costs and deal terms
- **Shared and agreed**: you share it, then mark it agreed and paid

## Questions about Contracts and Payments

### Contracts & payments

#### What kind of signature is it?

A simple electronic signature. The signer confirms they agree and enters their name, and you countersign in the dashboard.

#### Can I sign an agent's own contract online?

Not their own PDF. Sign it the way you usually do, then upload the signed copy, which marks the offer as contracted. For an act without an agent, send your own contract for signing online.

#### Will a deposit invoice make me pay the fee twice?

No. A deposit or balance invoice for a booking with one fee shows on that fee, and the amount is never counted twice in Payments due or the budget.

#### Does a pack change after I send it?

Yes. Each part fills in when the person opens their link, so a day sheet or contract you change later shows its latest version.

#### Can I pay a supplier from Payments due?

Yes. Select Pay with Vault and confirm the Vault transfer it opens. When the money has gone, mark the payment paid.

#### What if we mark something paid by mistake?

Reverse it. The reversal is added to the payment history, so you can always see what happened.
