Landing your first paid brand deal is exciting — until you realize you have nothing in writing. This free, fill-in-the-blanks collaboration agreement covers the terms that actually matter, in plain English, so both you and the brand know exactly what was agreed.
Two pages · plain English · signature-ready
What it covers
- The work & timeline — exactly what you'll deliver, and by when.
- Compensation — fee, gifted product, and payment terms.
- Usage rights — where the brand can use your content, for how long, and extra pay for ads/whitelisting (the clause creators lose money on most).
- Exclusivity, approvals & creative control — clear limits so you keep your voice.
- FTC disclosure, cancellation & a kill fee — the protections that matter if a deal falls through.
- Signature blocks for both sides.
