The real problem is the possible disconnect between what the agency has contracted with you and whatever Ts&Cs they have sold their client. Some are very good about it, some - rather too many - are completely out of order. I've refused a gig before now because of a poor agency contract, then found it re-advertised elsewhere with a sensible-looking contract only to discover (in time) that the second agency are only feeding the first, meaning their views on D&C and RoS are totally unsupportable.
If we could guarantee the chain of contracts was entirely consistent, a CoA letter would be unnecessary.Blog? What blog...?Comment
