Redlines
Their wording
Creator grants Brand a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty free license to use, edit and distribute the Content across all media now known or later devised, including paid advertising.
Replace with
Creator grants Brand a ninety (90) day, worldwide license to use the Content on Brand owned channels and in paid advertising. Any extension beyond 90 days is subject to an additional fee equal to 40% of the base fee per 90 day period.
Perpetual paid usage is the single most expensive thing you can give away. Standard is 90 days, priced.
Their wording
For twelve (12) months following delivery, Creator shall not create content for, promote, or be affiliated with any brand in the beauty, skincare, fragrance or cosmetics categories.
Replace with
For sixty (60) days following the first posting date, Creator shall not create sponsored content for direct competitors in the colour cosmetics category only. Broader or longer exclusivity may be added for an additional fee.
A year off the entire beauty category can cost you six figures in blocked deals.
Their wording
Brand shall remit payment within sixty (60) days following Brand's final written approval of all Content.
Replace with
Brand shall remit payment within thirty (30) (Net 30) days of invoice date. Undisputed amounts unpaid after 15 days past due accrue interest at 1.5% per month.
Net 60 from approval means the brand controls when your clock starts. Tie it to the invoice date.
Their wording
Creator shall revise the Content until Brand is satisfied, at no additional cost.
Replace with
The fee includes two (2) rounds of revisions. Additional rounds are billed at $350 per round. Brand shall provide consolidated feedback within 5 business days.
Unlimited revisions turn a one day shoot into a three week job for the same fee.
What to send back
- Happy to include paid usage for 90 days. Beyond that I charge 40% of the base fee per additional 90 days.
- I can do 60 days of exclusivity in colour cosmetics within this fee. A 12 month category lockout would need to be priced separately.
- Could we move to Net 30 from invoice date? I also add 1.5% monthly interest after 15 days past due.
- This includes two rounds of revisions, with additional rounds at $350 each.
Missing from this contract
- Kill fee if the brand cancels after you have shot
- Approval deadline so the brand cannot sit on your draft
- Confirmation that you keep ownership of the raw footage
- Late payment interest
With the four redlines above accepted, this lands slightly above market for your audience size and deliverable load.
