The Legal Risk Score of a Venue Licensing Agreement Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • The document places the responsibility for securing and insuring valuables left on the premises solely on the licensee, potentially increasing financial risk if loss or damage occurs.
  • The licensor disclaims liability for the performance of services, which might leave the licensee without recourse for service-related issues or failures.
  • The licensor retains the right to increase the license fee based on the Consumer Price Index with advance notice, potentially leading to unexpected cost increases for the licensee.
