Creator management agreements: Fees, access and exit checklist

15 written-term checks before signing

Use these checks on the agreement you are considering, including Space Management’s. Record where each answer appears in the written terms and clarify any gap before signing. For an earlier provider-shortlisting decision, use the OnlyFans agency-selection guide; use the fees guide to compare calculation bases. This cross-service page reviews written terms rather than ranking providers.

How our own agreement works

This is a plain-language summary of the creator management agreement Space Management uses. The signed agreement and its schedules are what bind both sides; this summary helps you know what to look for before you read it in full.

• It is a business-to-business agreement: the creator works as a registered business, sole trader, self-employed person or equivalent that can issue invoices where required. Nothing in it creates employment
• Depending on how each platform pays out, it can cover two services: our management, marketing and operations services to the creator, and, where the platform structure requires it, the creator’s content and performance services to us
• Every invoice must match a service that was actually supplied, and each side handles its own taxes, registrations and bookkeeping
• There is no guaranteed income, subscriber count or ranking, and nobody acting for us may promise one or offer different terms outside the signed agreement

The 50/50 split, step by step

The split is calculated on Adjusted Net Revenue, not on the gross amount a platform shows. The order of deductions is written into the agreement so both sides can check every statement.

• Start with gross platform revenue attributable to the creator on each managed platform, whoever receives the payout
• Subtract external deductions: platform and payment-processing fees, refunds, chargebacks, reversals, platform reserves, payout and currency fees, and non-recoverable transaction taxes
• Subtract approved shared costs only: creator-specific advertising, promotion, tools or production approved in the schedule or in writing. Our rent, general salaries and overheads are never deducted unless agreed in writing
• The remainder is split 50% to the creator and 50% to Space Management. Where VAT applies, it is included inside each 50% amount, not added on top

Weekly reconciliation and when money moves

• Each platform is reconciled weekly (Monday to Sunday), even if it pays daily, weekly or monthly
• Only cleared revenue, money actually received or freely withdrawable, becomes payable. Pending, reserved or frozen earnings are tracked and carried forward until they clear
• Neither side has to pre-finance the other’s share before the platform pays
• A separate invoice is issued for each platform payout, naming the platform and period, and is payable within three business days once the cleared funds, the invoice and the reconciliation statement are all available
• If both sides receive payouts from different platforms in the same week, each invoices the other separately; any set-off happens only after those invoices exist

Your boundaries stay yours

• The creator alone controls their own physical participation and can set or change content, messaging, privacy, collaboration and location boundaries at any time
• Any proposed shoot, stream, request or collaboration can be refused without a contractual penalty for that refusal. Agreeing to one thing never implies agreeing to another
• Content calendars and targets are planning tools only and never override a boundary
• Initial boundaries, including information that must never be disclosed and regions to block, are recorded in a schedule signed with the agreement and can be updated in writing
• No co-performer may appear in managed content or streams until age, identity, consent and platform verification are complete

Accounts, content and privacy in our agreement

• A subscription account registered to the creator remains the creator’s account; we receive only the management permissions the agreement and platform allow
• Promotional social-media accounts that we create or fund remain ours. When the relationship ends, we stop using the creator’s likeness and remove their personal photos and details from those accounts where technically possible
• Webcam profile ownership follows each platform’s rules for independent models and studios; neither side can demand a transfer the platform does not allow
• The creator keeps copyright in their original content and grants a limited licence for the agreed services during the term
• The creator’s legal identity is never published unless law, a platform or payment verification requires it, or the creator agrees
• Data-protection responsibilities, security measures and deletion at the end of the relationship are set out in a dedicated data-protection schedule

Term, exit and final settlement

• After the initial term stated in the schedule, the agreement runs month to month and either side can end it with 30 days’ written notice
• Either side can end it immediately for serious issues such as unlawful activity, failed verification, coercion concerns, fraud or a material breach that is not fixed
• Revenue earned during the term is still reconciled after exit, including later refunds and chargebacks; revenue earned only after the end date is not subject to our share
• The target for settling amounts that are already cleared is 30 days after termination, with later platform payouts settled once they clear
• Our access to creator-owned accounts is removed once it is no longer needed for settlement, security or legal compliance
• The agreement limits liability in ways allowed by law and asks both sides to confirm they had the chance to take independent legal, tax and accounting advice before signing

Account access and governance

The agreement should explain which accounts are created, who may access them, what access is used for, and how account governance operates under platform rules.

• Ownership, credentials, recovery rights, access and transferability for creator/platform accounts are governed by the applicable platform rules and technical structure
• Which assistants or support team members can access communication tools under written creator boundaries
• How passwords, two-factor authentication, and operational permissions are handled safely
• Creator original content/IP is 100% creator-owned; social-media accounts created by Space Management remain Space Management property; pre-existing creator-owned social-media accounts remain creator-owned

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 terms (canonical ownership principles)

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 orderly cutover without financial exit penalties
• Creator original content and IP remain 100% creator-owned and retained by the creator
• Social-media accounts created by Space Management remain Space Management property; pre-existing creator-owned social-media accounts remain creator-owned; creator/platform account governance follows platform rules
• How outstanding disbursements, refunds, chargebacks, or itemized final reconciliations are completed

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.

Compare offers before sharing access

Compare written responsibilities and risks, not just a headline percentage. If an offer is unclear, ask for an explanation before sharing credentials or making a commitment. A lower percentage does not tell you which work, costs or restrictions are included.

• Request a worked calculation covering platform deductions, management share and additional costs
• Ask how creator approvals, account recovery and removal of access are handled
• Check what evidence supports testimonials or income claims and what limitations were omitted
• Pause if guaranteed income, pressure to sign immediately or unexplained charges replace clear answers

Questions to ask before signing with an agency

• What specific services and tasks are included, and what remains the creator’s responsibility?
• What is the exact percentage, what is its calculation base, and are there any upfront fees?
• Which payout cycle and payment methods are used for disbursements?
• Who owns original content, intellectual property, and existing social-media accounts?
• Who owns agency-created social accounts, and how is platform-account access governed?
• What specific account permissions are required, and how can access be adjusted or revoked?
• How can the agreement be paused or ended, and what happens to operational access upon exit?
• What evidence substantiates agency performance claims, and are earnings explicitly non-guaranteed?

A contract checklist by topic

• Services, exclusions, approval points and expected response times

• Account ownership, least-privilege access, recovery and security incidents
• Content rights, reuse, confidentiality and data return
• Term, notice, termination, disputes and post-exit restrictions

Illustrative split calculation

Space Management Agency uses a fixed 50% management share of managed platform revenue. The following example is an educational comparison showing how a hypothetical third-party agency percentage can produce different results depending on the calculation base. Suppose a platform reports 1,000 units of gross activity and 200 units of platform deductions. If a hypothetical 25% management share applies to the 800-unit platform-payable amount, the share is 200 and 600 remains before taxes and other creator costs. If it applies to gross activity instead, the share would be 250. These invented figures are not Space Management terms or an earnings forecast.

Proof and sales claims

• Ask what period, population and calculation produced a result
• Separate gross screenshots from net cash received
• Check whether testimonials have publication permission and relevant context
• Treat urgency, guaranteed income and unexplained bonuses as risks
• Apply the same questions to Space Management and any competing agency

Access and exit drill

Before signing, walk through a hypothetical exit: who sends notice, which exports are produced, how pending revenue is reconciled, who removes each login, how recovery is tested and what happens to stored creator material.

Warning signs that need a written answer

A warning sign is a reason to pause and verify, not a factual accusation about a named agency. Request the missing evidence and get independent advice about unclear restrictions. No industry-wide fee average or ranking is implied here.
