Model Agreement Overview

A written management agreement should explain the full commercial and operational relationship in plain language before onboarding begins.

Topics To Review

  • Services included and creator responsibilities
  • Revenue share, deductions, payment timing, and statements
  • Account ownership, access permissions, and content rights
  • Contract duration, notice periods, and exit process
  • Privacy procedures, confidentiality, and their limitations
  • Dispute and complaint routes

Account Access And Control

The agreement should explain which accounts are created, who may access them, what access is used for, and how access is removed if the relationship ends.

  • Whether the creator, platform, agency, or another party controls each account
  • Which assistants or support team members can access communication tools
  • How passwords, two-factor authentication, recovery details, and permissions are handled
  • What happens to profiles, content, messages, and data after exit

Payment And Statement Terms

Payment language should be specific enough that the creator can calculate what happened after a payout period closes.

  • Gross revenue, platform deductions, and any agreed management share
  • Payout schedule, minimums, currency, fees, and chargeback treatment
  • What records or statements the creator receives and when
  • Who to contact when a payment is late, disputed, or unclear

Boundaries And Service Limits

A written agreement should not pressure a creator to cross content or communication boundaries. It should also define what the agency does not provide.

  • Creator-defined content boundaries and refusal procedures
  • Limits of privacy measures, geo-restrictions, and leak-response support
  • Responsibilities for taxes, legal advice, platform rules, and personal safety decisions
  • Whether trained VA support, engagement management, or promotion support is included

Exit And Pause Questions

The exit process should be understandable before onboarding. Applicants should know what happens if either side wants to pause, end, or change the relationship.

  • Notice periods, contract duration, and renewal rules
  • How access is removed and data is returned, retained, or deleted
  • How outstanding payments, refunds, chargebacks, or disputes are handled
  • Whether any platform transfer, content rights, or non-compete issues apply

Documents To Keep

Creators should keep a copy of the signed agreement, any updated terms, payment statements, account-access notes, written boundary decisions, and important support conversations. Records make it easier to resolve payment questions, access issues, and misunderstandings later.

Take Time To Decide

Applicants should read the full agreement, ask questions, retain a copy, and seek independent advice where appropriate before committing.
