Social Media Agreement Lawyers for Texas

This 7-page Social Media Content Collaboration Agreement is a lawyer-prepared contract designed for two collaborators who are creating and monetizing content together on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, podcasts, blogs, and more. It clearly sets expectations on who does what, who owns what, and how revenue is shared, so you can focus on creating content instead of arguing about credit, control, or payments. The Agreement is written in practical, plain language and uses fill-in fields for platforms, content type, services, work schedule, and revenue shares, making it easy to adapt to different projects, channels, or co-creator relationships. Who this Agreement is for: • Influencers and content creators teaming up on recurring videos, reels, podcasts, or series. • YouTubers collaborating on a shared channel or long-term project. • Podcasters, bloggers, and newsletter creators who are co-producing and co-owning content. • Social media managers and creative partners who share strategy, production, and monetization. • Small businesses or personal brands co-creating content with another entrepreneur or expert. • Any two collaborators who want a clear, written agreement on contributions, ownership, and revenue. Key clauses included in this template: • Purpose and Content Definition: Describes the collaboration, the platforms where content will appear, and the type of content you’ll create together (videos, reels, podcasts, posts, etc.). • Services and Responsibilities: Breaks down what each collaborator agrees to do, so roles like scripting, filming, editing, posting, and promotion are clearly assigned. • Work Schedule (Exhibit A): Allows you to set a written work schedule with deadlines for creation and publishing, and requires both parties to keep each other informed of delays or issues. • Collaboration and Decision-Making: Requires both parties to act in good faith, sets a process for joint decisions, and provides an option to terminate the Agreement if you can’t resolve disputes within a set time. • Exclusivity: Lets you specify that you’ll collaborate exclusively with each other on similar content during the term of the Agreement. • Ownership Shares and Revenue Split: Establishes each party’s percentage ownership of the content and related rights, how revenue is divided, how payments are handled, record-keeping obligations, and how a collaborator can sell their interest (with a first-offer right to the other party). • Term and Termination: Defines when obligations start, how long they last, and how either collaborator can end the Agreement with notice or for cause, while keeping revenue and rights allocations in place. • Content Changes and Attribution: Requires mutual agreement for changes to the content and ensures both collaborators receive agreed-upon credit whenever the content is published or used. • Use of Content: Confirms that each collaborator may post the content on their own social media accounts with proper attribution and links to the other party. • Name, Image, and Likeness: Grants each collaborator broad rights to use the other’s name, voice, likeness, and bio in connection with the content and its promotion. • Mutual Representations and Warranties: Each party promises their contributions are original, won’t infringe third-party rights, and will be delivered professionally and on time. • Failure to Perform and Indemnification: Provides remedies if one collaborator fails to perform, including termination and restrictions on using the other’s services, plus mutual indemnification against claims arising from breaches. • Dispute Resolution: Requires mediation followed by binding arbitration (with a prevailing-party legal fees provision), so disputes are handled efficiently and privately. • Confidentiality: Protects the terms of the Agreement and confidential business information shared between collaborators. • Governing Law and Boilerplate: Includes standard, business-grade clauses on prior agreements, assignment, amendments, waiver, notices, and entire agreement to make the contract enforceable and complete.
