Location Sound Mixer, new to the forum. Question regarding a written agreement for the production of a Reality show. It contains this clause: "Producer shall have the right to request, and you agree to provide to Producer or Producer’s representative a written, catalogued inventory of all tools, equipment and supplies you supply, if any. Producer is not liable for loss or damage of such tools, equipment, or supplies as you provide."
I'm providing all the sound gear, of course. I don't know that I've ever signed an agreement that the production company has no liability for equipment damage. In this particular case, the reality star is known for tantrums and irrational behavior. (Also, providing the inventory mentioned would be a real pain, as I have hundred of items, many custom-built cables, etc.)
What's the standard arrangement concerning equipment damage? Should I remove this clause before signing? I'm in the midwest, and the company is coming from L.A.
