Types of Contracts
• Unconscionable Contract: An Unconscionable contract is one that is unjust
or unduly one-sided in favor of the party who has the superior bargaining
power. The word unconscionable implies an affront to decency and
fairness. This type of contract is a contract that no mentally person would
accept.
Employment Contract: An Employment Contract is the type of contract used
in labour law to attribute responsibilities and rights between parties to a
bargain. The Employment Contract is between an "Employee" and an
"Employer" and then dealt with.

Confidentially

parties may wish to share their confidential information, but only for certain
purposes and will mostly be shared to a third party, but they need to make
sure that their ideas have to be a secret.

'A person named, "Toth"was not allowed to see the whole script of the new
Star Wars movie and every member was given a a unique magnetic pass
and tracked by an escort to see where they went in case they strayed into

exclusive rights to the entire HBO TV catalog. The HBO TV catalog

shows from the HBO TV.

Employment Legislation: Health and Safety:
• When the workers work on TV or Film there can be risks to their health and
safety, but they are properly controlled, this is under the health and safety
law.
For example, in a film theatre there will be fire exits round the back of the
stage and round the front of the stage where the audience is. If a fire has
started or anything else dangerous has happened there will be a fire exit
sign glowing above the fire exit door in the dark to make the actors and the
audience can see where all the fire exits.
Health and Safety is made because it makes sure everyone is safe, wherever
it's a rollercoaster or an activity or even a film theatre.
