    Default Re: Client Refusing to Sign Contract and Dispute Over Customer List

    How were you paid for the work done on the list? You appear to have made the list for them.

    Default Re: Client Refusing to Sign Contract and Dispute Over Customer List

    I wasn't paid for work done on the list. These fundraisers are for the school district in our area. In order to book events, I started contacting all the schools and keeping track of who ended up being my contact person to stay organized. My commission is calculated upon the completion of each fundraiser on a graduated scale not to exceed $1.25 per person. I do not get paid for any other work. This list is what I work from to book other venues for the schools.

    If I understand correctly, the venue hired you to act as their agent to procure events for them and paid you on a commission basis for any events actually booked.

    You are left to put together pieces of the understanding of the relationship between you and the venue to sort out ownership of the customer list as the terms of your employment were not reduced to writing. There is a pretty good argument that the customer list is your property but you should talk to an attorney in your area about the details of the situation and advise you about how to best protect your intellectual property.
