Creator and agency contract templates and referrals to vetted lawyers. Understand the split, term, exclusivity, ownership, and exit clause first.
This service gives creators and agencies plain language contract templates and referrals to vetted lawyers, so you understand the split, the term, exclusivity, ownership, and the exit clause before you sign. Templates are a starting point, not legal advice. For a binding opinion, use a qualified lawyer, which we can arrange.

Use this as a checklist when you read any creator agency contract. Every row should be explicit. Anything vague is a term to negotiate before signing.
| Clause | What it controls | What good looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Split | The percentage the agency keeps and what it applies to | A clear number, applied to a defined base, matched to real services |
| Term and notice | How long the deal lasts and how much warning to leave | A short initial term and a notice period measured in weeks, not months |
| Exclusivity | Whether you can work with anyone else | Narrow or none, and never silent on the point |
| Ownership | Who owns accounts, logins, audience, and content | The creator keeps ownership of accounts and content at all times |
| Payments | How and when money reaches you | Funds flow to the creator first, or are fully transparent and on a fixed schedule |
| Exit | How the relationship ends and what carries over | A clean exit, no post term claim on future earnings, accounts returned |
Template downloads and lawyer referrals use partner placeholders [SERVICE_PARTNER_LINK] until our vetted partners are wired in.
At minimum: the exact split and what it applies to, the term length, the notice period, whether the deal is exclusive, who owns the accounts and content, how payments flow, and a clear exit clause. If any of these is vague, ask for it in writing before you sign.
Templates are a strong starting point and help you spot missing terms, but they are not a substitute for advice on your situation. For a binding opinion, especially across borders, use a qualified lawyer. We can refer one.
There is no single number. Management splits commonly range from about 20% to 50% of creator net, and full management at the higher end should come with more service. Judge the split against what the agency actually does, not in isolation.
A fair contract leaves the creator owning the platform accounts, the audience, and the content. Be very cautious of any deal that takes ownership of your accounts or logins, or that blocks you from leaving.
If chatters access your messages, the contract should cover confidentiality, data handling, and conduct. Read how chatting teams work before you agree to a messaging arrangement.
