CUSTOMER REVIEWS

We've earned our stripes

Really great product, exactly what I was looking for, perfect for my sports sponsorship agreement for our club!

Katherine Adams

We used this for our under 8’s soccer team and got a local sports shop to sponsor them. Obviously we didn’t want to spend money on a lawyer. This is a professional document and I appreciate the service.

Peter Thompson

I recently used Shanti's Sponsorship Agreement template having reviewed several others available on the internet. His was comprehensive, not written in legalese, and had a professional look about it. Having a choice of MS-Word or PDF formats was good - I used the Word version because I wanted to 'tweak' the look and wording a bit myself. I did, though, find that one had to be reasonably familiar with document formatting (inserts; tables; headers/footnotes, etc.) to do so. Shanti's freely-available help with such things was very much appreciated.

Agreement to sponsor an online event

We are running an event for female entrepreneurs. We have some big sponsors like web-site hosting business, online marketing businesses and other Venture Capital firms. Our requirement is for a straight forward sponsorship agreement to lock them in to the deal and clarify what each sponsor will receive by way of sponsorship and promotion surrounding our event. We don't have the budget to pay a big law firm. We want to prepare a contract for each sponsor ourself, based on a professionally drafted template.

Checklist - What's in the Event Sponsorship Contract Template?

Legal Zebra's Event Sponsorship Contract Template for an Event is concise yet comprehensive. It includes these important provisions...

General legal tips
Plus sign

Plus, you'll get easy to follow tips and examples to help you confidently turn your template into a legal document, customised for your requirements.

Payment terms
Plus sign

State when payment is required. For example, it could be weekly, monthly or let's say 7 days after a job is completed and invoiced. Oh, and by the way, are you paying in cash or crypto?

Sponsorship fees
Plus sign

Include details of the fees the sponsor is required to pay.

Sponsorship benefits
Plus sign

Specify the benefits the sponsor will receive such as banners at an event, naming rights, website and email marketing promotion, etc.

Exclusive or non-exclusive sponsorship rights
Plus sign

State whether the sponsor has exclusive sponsorship rights or not. For example, the sponsor may be the only airline associated with your sporting or cultural event. If that's the case, the sponsorship is considered to be exclusive (or at least for the airline category) so you could not then take on an additional airline sponsor.

Agreement duration or term
Plus sign

Either for a fixed term (eg 1 year) or ongoing and you can specify the notice period that each party must give for termination – for example 3 month’s notice of termination.

Governing law for resolving Agreement disputes
Plus sign

You choose the applicable law if there is a dispute. For example, choose "the laws of NSW" if you live there so you won't have to travel to another state if there is a dispute about the agreement.

Completion tips for Application Form
Plus sign

Easy to follow tips and examples to help new customers to complete your Account Application Form with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why you need a Sponsorship Contract for your event?
plus sign

An Event Sponsorship Agreement or Contract is a formal legal document that sets out the arrangement between an event host (eg the host of a film, music or arts festival) and a sponsor (eg a local business looking to promote its brand). An agreement goes further than a simple sponsorship proposal. An agreement creates a binding legal commitment, enforceable in a Court of law.

When you’re taking on a sponsor for an event you are hosting, make sure you get the contract in writing so you get paid and you minimise the risk of disputes.

On the other side of the deal, if you are sponsoring an event, be sure to put a Sponsorship Contract in black & white. It will help you protect your rights. It can ensure you receive the benefits you're paying for. And, protect your intellectual property so your brand is used in the right way.

Talk to an experienced lawyer who understands the event industry?

This Sponsorship Contract Template is very easy to fill-in and understand. Therefore, generally, you can put your contract in black & white without the help of a lawyer.

I've helped event hosts for over 20 years now so I'm attuned to the issues they face. In other words, this template is based on my real world knowledge and experience.

I've included all the important terms and conditions for a sponsorship deal. These are set out as "key terms" at the front of the document. This will help you focus on what's important, like describing the sponsorship benefits. Also, identifying the sponsorship fees. And, clarifying whether the sponsorship is exclusive, etc.

I'm available to support you as a customer, without further charge, if you have a quick question about filling in the template.

I offer my professional services where you need more robust assistance. This might suit you for:

  • a high-value contract that runs for a few years.
  • complex high-value events or sponsorship arrangements--for example including TV rights.
  • curly intellectual property issues, clarifying who owns what.
  • gold or premium sponsor arrangements with major event sponsors.

With many years of experience advising on these sorts of matters, crafting bespoke sponsorship agreements for my clients, I am well placed to help you.

Pick up the phone if you want help. I'm approachable. 🤝
