The moment

You have 48 hours and 14 pages of someone else's agreement.

Templates don't help here. You're not drafting an agreement — you're being handed one, and you need to know what's in it before Friday.

From: partnerships@[agency].com  ·  Subject: Contract for signature

"Hi! So excited to work together. Attached is our standard creator agreement — it's pretty boilerplate, same one we use with everybody.

Can you get this back to us signed by Friday so we can lock the campaign dates?"

  • ? Is "standard" actually standard, or standard for them?
  • ? What did I just agree to about who owns the video?
  • ? How long can they run this, and where?
  • ? Which brands can I not work with now?
  • ? If I ask for changes, do I lose the deal?
  • ? Is any of this worth pushing back on?
What you get

A written review, not a phone call you'll forget.

One agreement, one flat fee, one document back that you can act on immediately — and forward to the brand if you want to.

01

The issues that matter

Every provision worth your attention, ranked by what it actually costs you — not a 40-page memo restating the contract back at you.

02

What each one means in plain English

What the clause says, what it does to you, and how it plays out twelve months from now.

03

Specific replacement language

Word-for-word wording to send back, with a note on which asks brands usually grant and which they'll fight.

Included

  • ✓ One agreement, reviewed in full
  • ✓ Written summary of material issues
  • ✓ Suggested revision language
  • ✓ A clear recommendation: sign, push back, or walk
  • ✓ 48-hour turnaround

Not included at this price

  • — Negotiating with the brand on your behalf
  • — Redlining and multiple revision rounds
  • — Ongoing representation
  • — Disputes over an agreement already signed

If your deal needs any of the above, we'll say so in the review and quote it separately.

What we look for

The ten places brand deals quietly cost creators money.

Every review runs this list against your agreement. You can also just download it and run it yourself — it's free, and it's the same list.

Ownership"Work made for hire" — and whether you can still post your own video.
Usage rights"In perpetuity, throughout the universe" is not boilerplate.
ExclusivityWhich brands you can't work with, for how long, and whether you got paid for it.
Term & terminationWhether they can walk after you've shot it, and what you're owed.
PaymentNet 90 after undefined "acceptance" is a clock that never starts.
ApprovalsUnlimited revisions turns a flat fee into unpaid hourly work.
IndemnificationWhether you're covering claims about their product.
Morality clauseWho decides, and whether they can claw the money back.
FTC disclosureThey write the caption, you carry the regulatory risk.
Name, image & likenessWhitelisting is a separate product. It shouldn't be free.

All ten, with the exact red-flag language and the wording to send back.

Who reviews it

Someone who sits on the other side of this table every week.

"Your brand deal has a formal name. It's an endorsement agreement, and there are fifty years of practice behind how it gets fought over."

Brand Deal Review is run by Zeb Chandler, an Atlanta entertainment attorney specializing in endorsement and social media marketing agreements — the exact instrument in your inbox. Fifteen years of it, on both sides of the table, for creators, athletes, and the brands and agencies sending these contracts out.

That matters for a reason most sites won't tell you: the agency contract you were sent didn't come from nowhere. Its clauses migrated in from talent, music, and film agreements that have been negotiated for decades. Knowing where a provision came from is how you know which ones are real and which ones are asks.

Every review is done by a licensed attorney. Not a template engine, not an AI summarizer, not a contractor. That's the whole product.

Most brand deals don't need a lawyer on retainer. Some absolutely do. The point is that you can tell which is which — and that the next step exists when you need it.

Questions

The ones that actually matter.

Is this legal advice? Am I a client?

For a paid Brand Deal Review, yes — you're engaging a licensed attorney under a written limited-scope engagement, and the review is legal advice about your specific agreement. That's the point of it, and it's what separates this from a template site. The free guide and the subscription library are different: those are legal information and document tools, and using them doesn't make you a client.

Why is it limited scope?

Because a flat fee only works if both sides know exactly what's in it. A review is a full read of one agreement and a written analysis. It isn't rounds of redlining or negotiating with the brand — those are real work and get quoted as such. If the review turns up something that needs more, we'll tell you plainly and you decide.

What if I'm not in your state?

Most creator agreements turn on contract terms that don't change much across state lines, and we review deals nationally on that basis. Where your state's law genuinely changes the answer — or where a matter requires representation in a jurisdiction we're not admitted in — we'll say so and, where appropriate, bring in local counsel rather than guess.

Will pushing back cost me the deal?

Almost never, and this is the single most common fear we hear. Brands and agencies expect a counter — their first draft is an opening position, not a final offer. The review tells you which asks are routine and which are a real fight, so you're not spending goodwill on something you were going to get anyway.

I already signed. Is it too late?

Sometimes, not always. Agreements get amended more often than people think, and some provisions are weaker than they read. That's a conversation rather than a flat-fee review — get in touch and we'll tell you honestly whether there's anything to work with.

How fast, really?

48 hours standard, and most come back the next business day. If your deadline is sooner than that, say so when you submit — rush is available.

Don't sign it yet.

Send us the agreement. Know exactly what's in it — and exactly what to send back — before Friday.
