Commission above 30%
What this clause does
The agency takes this percentage of what you earn.
Why it hurts you
Commissions of 30-50% are common in this industry and frequently buy very little — recycled followers, generic chatting, or nothing at all. At 50% you are working the first half of every month for them. Before you agree, look at what your True Net actually becomes.
What a fair version looks like
A genuinely full-service agency is typically 15-25%, and only on revenue it can show it generated.
Wording you can send back
Commission shall be twenty percent (20%) of Net Revenue, calculated after platform fees and applicable only to revenue generated after the Effective Date.
Paste this into your reply. Asking for a specific change is far more effective than asking them to "soften" a clause.
