Know what your deal
is really worth.

Brand deal lands in your inbox — Clause reads it in 15 seconds. You see exactly what they're asking for: usage rights, exclusivity scope, payment terms, FTC obligations. Everything color-coded. Red items come with counter-proposal language you can send directly — three options, professional tone, no awkwardness.

"We'd love to proceed — could we limit paid media to 12 months and adjust the rate to reflect usage scope?"

See what they're
really asking for.

Creators massively under-price because they don't see usage rights as separate from the deliverable. "I'm making one Reel for $500" is what you think. "Perpetual worldwide paid license on your name, face, and content for $500" is what the contract says. Clause makes this visible — with benchmarks.

Collect what
you're owed.

When a brand's license expires but they keep running your content in paid campaigns, that's money you're owed. Clause tracks every usage window, alerts you before expiration, and drafts check-in emails when brands overstay. Many recoveries turn into bigger renewal deals.

Never accidentally
breach a deal.

Every signed contract builds your exclusivity map — category, geography, dates. When a new deal arrives, Clause checks it against everything you've already signed. Conflicts get a hard stop before you can sign, with options and drafted responses for each path forward.

Never miss a deadline
or obligation.

Every contract has buried obligations — deliverable due dates, payment milestones, option windows, rights expirations. Clause extracts them all automatically and builds your calendar. Get alerts before deadlines hit so you're never scrambling, never in breach, and never letting money slip through the cracks.

Real attorneys when
the stakes demand it.

Some deals are too big or too messy for AI alone. When Clause flags a contract that needs human legal expertise — a career-defining brand partnership, an IP dispute, a complex licensing conflict — it routes you directly to a licensed entertainment or IP attorney. No cold intake, no explaining from scratch. The attorney gets your full contract analysis, flagged issues, and context pre-packaged. You get real legal backup in hours, not weeks.

Contract lands

A contract arrives in your inbox — brand deal, venue agreement, booking contract, licensing terms. Upload any PDF, DOCX, or even a screenshot from your DMs. Clause reads it clause-by-clause in about 15 seconds.

02

Clause shows you what matters

Every clause color-coded: green for fair, yellow for review, red for overreach. Rights, obligations, payment terms, exclusivity — all in plain English with benchmarks for your category.

03

You respond with leverage

For anything flagged red, Clause drafts counter-proposals — professional, cheerful, firm. Three options per issue so the conversation feels collaborative, not adversarial. You review and send.

The gap in the market is real.

Everyone else leaves you to figure it out alone. We have your back.

Questions? Answers.

No. Clause is NOT a replacement for a lawyer, and we are clear about that. For the 90% of contracts that are routine — booking agreements, brand deals, licensing terms, venue contracts — Clause handles analysis and counter-proposals. For career-defining moments — management deals, label contracts, major licensing agreements — we route you to vetted entertainment attorneys through Brightpoint Law. Clause helps you handle the everyday deals that don't need a $400/hr attorney, and connects you to one when they do.
Clause benchmarks your deal terms against market data for your category, scope, and usage rights. Our benchmarks are built from industry rate cards, public data sources, and anonymized aggregate data from our community. The goal: you never sign a deal without knowing what it's typically worth.
Upload it to your Vault. Clause will track every obligation, deadline, and usage window — so you know exactly when rights expire and when to follow up. Many creators discover they're owed money from brands still running expired content. Going forward, Clause ensures every new deal is analyzed before you sign.
No. Professional counter-proposals are expected in the industry — brands have entire legal teams who wrote those contracts. Clause generates language that's cheerful, professional, and offers options. "Which works best?" is a relationship-preserving close, not an adversarial demand. Brands respect creators who know their worth.
Yes. All contracts are encrypted with AES-256 at rest and in transit. We use Supabase for infrastructure with row-level security policies. Your data is never used to train AI models. We are pursuing SOC 2 Type II certification and comply with the ESIGN Act and eIDAS standards. You own your data — export or delete it anytime.
