Pretty convenients service….anything similar in Canada anybody?????

The UK-based event payments company, GigPay last month launched an online tool that allows bands to generate and manage live performance contracts.
The service allows a musician or anyone hiring them, to draw up a customised live performance contract, by providing information relevant to their event or gig. Using answers, figures and dates provided by the user, GigPay’s system generates the relevant legal clauses covering the scope of input. The result is a contract that is tailored to the user’s specification. At this point the user can email or fax the resulting contract to the other party who can print, sign and return the contract, or go to GigPay.com to electronically agree to it.
Having been legal for many years, electronic signatures are starting to be widely adopted. GigPay’s offer of e-signature as a signing option is a good move.
The contract itself can be changed at any time prior to agreement and the sender can make changes at the request of the recipient. After agreement the contract is indefinitely available online, allowing both parties the benefit of an unchanged, centrally stored contract. In addition, GigPay’s contract has an easy to read format that displays a contract’s key facts and then the detail following that. This seems to be a way round the ‘long form’ and ’short form’ contract system used in the industry.
The service is targeted at live musicians, promoters, booking agents and DJs, though it can be used for most types of event bookings to manage and track the status of contracts drawn up by the system.
My opinion is that rather than solving a problem in the industry, this tool aims to improve the workflow associated with live performance agreements.
GigPay are offering the service for a per-contract fee of $1.80/£0.80 or a soon to be determined annual fee (allowing use of the system for no extra cost). The indication is that the annual fee will be no more than $25.
