Versus:

In the patois of monetary negotiations between musicians and clubs, ‘versus’ means something like ‘whichever is greater.’ For example, option B of our Fair Trade Music agreement allows the club and band to mutually choose to pay the band a guarantee of minimum wage per hour per person, with an additional hour for travel/setup/teardown, versus 100% of the door, minimum $3 cover per person.
