Thank you for listening to another episode of The Venue Podcast.
This episode is all about contracts and agreements for venues.
You’ll hear me reference my lawyer, Paige Hulse, quite a bit
throughout.
Paige’s contracts are what I use to protect all of my businesses as
well as my clients’ businesses. Paige has an online template shop
which is where you can purchase any or all of the contracts we
mention in today’s episode.

5 Legal Agreements:
The Multi-Member LLC Operating Agreement or the Single-Member LLC Operating Agreement - if you haven’t set up your business structure yet you’ll need to choose one of these, not both. If your company will have multiple members then choose the Multi-Member LLC Operating Agreement.
Please note this is highlighted in yellow but is only required if you have NOT set up your business structure yet and if your business will be structured as an LLC. If you’d like to learn more about operating agreements go here.
Privacy Policy - if your website has or will have a contact form
where you collect visitor information such as name, contact
information or email address then this is required by law to be
linked on your website. A good place for your privacy policy is
linked in the footer of your website.
Terms and Conditions - this is not legally required but I highly
recommend having this contract linked in the footer of your website
as well because it governs how visitors are allowed to use content
from your site if at all. In other words, it helps to protect you
from copycats. If you’d like to learn more I encourage you to read
this blog post.
Termination Agreement - Unfortunately, there may come a time when
you may need to let a team member go and this agreement covers
things such as settlement fees and protects you from potential
slander.
Independent Contractor Agreement - most venues' first hire will be
classified as an independent contractor in which case you’ll need
to have them sign this agreement.
