Effective immediately, all photography agreements will utilize the Professional Service Agreement (PSA) template. The link button at the bottom of this page will begin the PSA process. Please email contracts@ua.edu with any questions.
The University has developed a DocuSign agreement template for use by requesting departments when contracting for photography services. The agreement template includes University approved terms, conditions and rights of ownership, and requires only service specific information such as scope of work and payment terms to complete. The agreement is to be completed by the department requesting the services, signed by the contractor, and then reviewed and routed for signature by Contract Management as further detailed below.
To start the process, click on the Professional Service Agreement button below, complete the form and sign electronically following the DocuSign instructions and prompts.
Contractors will be notified that their signature is required by email, and a link will be provided to allow them to access the form. They may access the form from any internet capable device (computer, smart phone, tablet, etc.). Contractors are not required to establish an account with DocuSign, but may choose to sign up for a free account if they would like to access their document history.
Once the agreement is fully executed, all parties (department, contractor, and Contract Management) will receive a final copy via email.

Documentation Requirements
If the contractor is an Individual, an Independent Contractor (IC) Form is required to be completed and approved. A final copy of the IC form must be attached to the Professional Service Agreement. For more information about the IC process, refer to the UA Tax Office website.
A detailed description of the services to be provided is required. If needed, an attachment may be used.
