Deadline at a glance

Before signing

There is no statutory deadline — but every signature without a review is a lost round of negotiation.

It is an AI, not a person: nobody looks at your individual case, and we do not know who signs up or for what reason. That is why we give pointers, but no legal advice on the individual case. Guidelines and playbooks in the platform are only guardrails: the AI relies on the available sources and your information. AI can make mistakes — check important results, and if in doubt, ask a lawyer.

Typical risks in this scenario

What we pay special attention to

Curated from real cases. The AI review flags exactly these points in your document.

  • Total buy-out of all usage rights without any time limit — the brand may use your content forever and worldwide.

  • Exclusivity clause that blocks every competing brand (often very broadly defined) for 6–12 months.

  • Contractual penalty (Vertragsstrafe) for every breach (e.g. a missing #ad) from €5,000, often cumulative.

  • Obligation to provide free re-edits / unlimited correction rounds.

  • Confidentiality about the fee amount — prevents fair benchmarks.

  • Guarantee of performance metrics (reach/engagement) that you cannot actually influence.

  • Right of the brand to edit or shorten your content or use it in other contexts.

  • Place of jurisdiction at the brand's seat (often abroad) — legal action becomes practically impossible.

What you can do here in 5 minutes

Cooperation agreements with brands, agencies or platforms often look simple, but they contain clauses that tie you down for months, sign away your rights to your content forever or trigger four-figure penalties for a minor oversight. Our AI tools check the points that really matter.

Upload the agreement (PDF/DOCX) — we extract the fee, posting obligations, rights of use, exclusivity clauses and penalties and deliver a list of the top risks with a concrete negotiation proposal.

Transparency

What the AI checks — and what only a lawyer can decide

An AI is only as good as the question. We show openly where your answer is reliable and where you should speak with a lawyer.

For fees of €10,000 or more, international brands, exclusive ambassador contracts or holdings relevant to M&A, you should involve a media law lawyer — we refer you directly.
