Free download – The Most Balanced Creator Contract Ever™
What makes this contract so balanced?
Contracts are almost always written by the brand, and rarely give fair representation to the creator. While many templates aren't seen as ‘unfair’, they include clauses meant for ad shoots, and are not fit for purpose in creator marketing. What does it lead to? Negotiation, edits, back and forth. Time lost.
The Most Balanced Creator Contract Ever has been developed over 4 years and has been used to complete hundreds of brand deals.
It rarely receives feedback on either side. It can save you a week or more in contract discussions. Give it a try!
What are the key clauses?
- Clause 4 – 30-day payment terms
- Clauses 7 & 8 – Creator retains all rights by default - moral and usage, unless explicitly agreed in the deal
- Clause 11 – 50%+ termination fee. Creator has rights to half their fee if the brand cancels after signatures, but is negotiable dependent on pro-rata work completed
- Clause 19 – Both creator and brand give clear warranties to the other
