The plan of the agreement

Fifteen articles, always in the same order

1. Purpose: Why say what the manager does and record that the creator remains the holder of her accounts.; Without it the agreement can be read as a transfer of the account or as a de facto partnership.
2. Term: Why set a start, an end and renewal in writing only.; Without it the relationship has no end and only stops through a conflict.
3. Services: Why list what is owed, and nothing else.; Without it each party expects from the other tasks that were never agreed.
4. Compensation: Why name the commission, its basis of calculation, the monthly statement and the absence of any penalty for renegotiating or leaving.; Without it the amount changes with the basis used and the creator cannot check the calculation.
5. Account access: Why say who holds what, what the manager never changes, and keep a register.; Without it the person who holds the email address holds the account.
6. Content ownership and license: Why the creator keeps all her rights and grants a license limited to the services and to the term.; Without it the content can be reused elsewhere, or after the end, with no clear recourse.
7. Confidentiality: Why protect the real identity, the revenue, the access credentials and the personal data, during and after the agreement.; Without it nothing forbids revealing who is behind the pseudonym.
8. Exclusivity: Why say whether the creator may entrust the same services to another provider, and within what limits.; Without it each party assumes the opposite of the other.
9. Platform rules: Why each party reads the published terms and does not ask the other to act against them, with no promise of compliance.; Without it the manager can be blamed for a compliance he does not control, or the creator can be subjected to methods she did not choose.
10. Account suspension or closure by a platform: Why set who informs whom, what remains owed and how to exit if the account is not restored.; Without it the commission is still claimed on revenue never received and nobody knows how to exit the agreement.
11. Automated conversation tools: Why the creator knows whether an AI speaks in her name, and accepts or forbids it.; Without it she finds out from a fan, or from the platform.
12. Age of majority and consent: Why certify the age of the creator and of every visible person, and keep the documents.; Without it the manager publishes content he knows nothing about.
13. Termination: Why a notice period in days for each party, and an immediate exit in case of serious breach.; Without it the only way to leave is to stop answering.
14. End of the agreement: Why return of access and data, deletion of copies, final statement.; Without it the access credentials and the files stay with the manager after the end.

Frequently asked questions

Three questions about this calculation

Can this agreement be used as is?

No. It is a working draft, in English, that puts on paper the choices you made in the form. It is there to discuss and to prepare the review by a legal professional, who will adapt it to the country, to the status of the parties and to your situation. The text says so at the top and at the bottom.

Why does the agreement forbid changing the email address of the account?

Because a manager does not need that power to do the work, and because it is one of the three clauses that the lesson Agency or solo, drawing on a press investigation, flags as a reason to refuse, together with the penalty for renegotiating and the absence of a term and an exit. The generated agreement takes the opposite position on all three: revocable access, no penalty, explicit term and notice, return of everything at the end.

What does the agreement say about automated conversation tools?

Article 11 informs the creator that the manager may use an automated tool to handle the conversations, and records her consent; if you uncheck the box, the article forbids any use without prior written consent. In both cases, the agreement does not say that those tools are allowed by the platforms: Article 9 points to the terms published by each of them, which both parties have to read.
