Swiftboy: Th ats my problem with record labels...they always take advantage of tallented minds! 22 million Naira clause thats way too much! They always want to kill,boil and fry the egg-laying fowl! No Artiste will leave his/her record label if they're well taken care off! Why's it always like this? If we recall, Wizzkid had this same contract issue! Do your artiste well such that they'll want their contract to be renewed even if its exulsted!

Okija_juju: Choi!!!!






He should go to court for the Judge to review his contract..

All contracts are subject to the Laws of Nigeria and if the Law feels his contract makes him a 'slave', then they can declare the contract null & void...

adconline:
Void contract: inability to consent eg mental retardation or being a minor
Voidable contract: if either of of the parties fails to carry out their own part of the bargain. Tough luck proving to judge that you work as a slave when ur employer does not violate labor laws as they relate to wages and minimum wage.

Okija_juju:


Refer to my comment above...







Its better explained there.. Some contracts can be voided.

Okija_juju:

Actually it is...



I work on contracts for a living. In a contract like what I imagine his own looks like, it might be possible to break it in a court of law depending on many factors including the competence of the parties to enter into contract and the understanding of the contract by the parties as at when they entered into the contract.

E.G: If you go into a village and draft a contract and make an old lady who can barely read and write nor speak and comprehend english properly sign a contract with you regarding a service, that contract is only binding for as long as she is willing to stay under it. Should she decide at any time to contest it (prolly after getting wiser about the terms of the contract), a court would void that contract because she wasnt competent to have entered into that contract in the first place.

I helped a D.J friend of mine vet a contract that he was about to enter into with an entertainment outfit. After reading through the contract, I took my time to explain line by line what I thought it meant and advised him not to enter into that contract until he sees a lawyer that can properly explain the contract to him. 'He said he couldnt afford a lawyer', I told him that he should inform the company about this problem as they are also required under the law to make sure that he fully understands the contracts terms and conditions before entering into it.





In order to rescind a contract, a judge must determine that there is a valid basis to cancel the contract. A contract creates a legal duty to act for both parties, and contracts cannot be rescinded simply because the parties have changed their mind.

Contract rescission is available under the following circumstances:

■Consent: Both parties must manifest their intent to have the contract rescinded. It is best if they indicate their consent through an additional written document
■Issues with contract formation: The contract must be made under legal conditions, and consent cannot be acquired by force or fraud. If the contract was formed under illegal conditions, it may be rescinded. Common formation defects include:
■Fraud: The false representation may related either to the contract’s subject matter or to matters related to the contract
■Lack of capacity: one of the parties lacks to the capacity to negotiate an agreement due to illness, mental incompetence, intoxication, or being underage (under 18 years old)
■Coercion/Duress/Undue Influence: A party cannot be forced to sign a contract under threats of harm or under hostile conditions
■Mistake: Both parties must clearly understand all the terms in the contract
■One party’s actions indicate that they will not be performing their part of the bargain (“anticipatory repudiation”)
■Consideration has failed, is inadequate, or is illegal
■Against public interest: A contract may be rescinded if performing it would be against the general consent of the public (for example, a contract requiring one of the parties to be subjected to indentured servitude)

So if Brymo can prove to a judge beyond reasonable doubt that he didnt fully understand the trems and conditions of his contract as at when he signed it, the judge is obligated under the law to void such contract.. AND in some cases, award damages to the 'victim' party where undue exploitation has taken place during the period the voided contract was in place. And if it can be proven that this error was delibrate by one party, criminal charges can also be brought against that party and punitive damages awarded to the victim..
Any Lawyer in the house can elaborate... This is just my Street Lawyer understanding talking here.

Smartlife: Eeyah. I think this will teach me a lesson now I want to go fully into music after school. its hard to overcome a mouth watering record deal and I think if it was easy, may d, wande coal, ice prince n d rest wud have made it on their own on the initial stage knowing that they have talent.

the truth is that promoting yourself when there is no money is not easy. the deal makes you rise very fast and bring in shows but most of this deals are very dangerous. I think for a start, the best music deal so far is having your label first and make it known on your music delivery and if you see a record company is interested in you, try to convince them on a joint contract and make sure the terms will be favourable. if they see the talent that you can sell, they will definitely fit in. example dbanj dkm/Sony.
