The performance contract is concluded for a limited period or for a specified number of communications to the public.
Unless exclusive rights are expressly stipulated, it does not confer on the performance entrepreneur any monopoly of exploitation.
The validity of the exclusive rights granted by a playwright may not exceed five years; the interruption of performances during two consecutive years automatically terminates them.
The performance entrepreneur may not transfer the benefit of his contract without the formal consent given in writing by the playwright or his representative.
