18 klausuler som ska stoppa dig att skriva under

Ledningskontrakt skrivs av byrån, för byrån — och samma klausuler dyker upp oavsett om det är en MCN-signering av en YouTuber, ett nätverk som signerar en streamer eller en byrå som undertecknar en prenumerationsskapare. Det är dessa som tillförlitligt kostar dig pengar eller kontroll: vad varje faktiskt gör, varför det gör ont, och formuleringen att skicka tillbaka.

Varför ingen annan publicerar detta

Sök råd om skapare management kontrakt och det mesta av vad som kommer tillbaka är skrivet av byråer. De kommer inte att berätta för dig att en 50% provision måste nästan fördubbla din inkomst innan du bryter ens, eller att en credential-överföring klausulen ger över hela din verksamhet.

Vi har ingen byrå att skydda. Denna lista finns eftersom det måste finnas inom vår kontraktsgranskare ändå — så det kan lika gärna vara offentlig.

Hur du använder den

Read the ones marked critical first. Then either work through your own contract by hand, or paste it into the free reviewer and let it quote the exact clauses back at you with suggested replacement wording.

This is an automated review to help you spot common problems — not legal advice, and not a substitute for a lawyer. We can miss things, and a clause that looks fine in isolation can still be a problem in context. Have a lawyer review anything you are about to sign.
