Know what the venue
is really asking for.

Venue sends their standard contract — it's designed to protect venues, not you. Clause reads it in 15 seconds. You see exactly what's hidden: cancellation penalties, sound curfews, capacity limits, insurance requirements, deposit forfeiture terms. Red items come with counter-language most venues will agree to.

Most venues accept a sliding cancellation scale. Here's language for 50% at 30 days, 75% at 14 days, and a force majeure exception.

Book talent with
real contracts, not texts.

Talent booking has social dynamics — artists or their managers renegotiate, cancel, or add rider demands last-minute. Clause generates performance contracts with fee structures, payment schedules, rider specs, cancellation terms, and substitution rights. The contract becomes the neutral referee.

Don't deliver the event
then chase the sponsor.

Post-event sponsor non-payment is a cash-flow killer. You delivered the event, the sponsor got their exposure, now AP is slow-walking. Clause generates sponsor agreements with clear deliverables, activation specs, impression guarantees, and payment schedules. When they're late, the demand letter is ready.

Every contract for
every event, mapped.

Event promoters juggle 15+ moving parts per event — venue, talent, sponsors, permits, insurance, vendors. Clause maps every contract to every event date. One dashboard shows what's signed, what's missing, what's expiring, and what needs action. Your second brain for event operations.

Real attorneys when
the event is on the line.

AI catches the risk — but some situations need a licensed attorney. Talent no-shows, venue liability disputes, sponsor payment fights, permit emergencies. When the stakes are high and the event date is fixed, Clause routes the issue to entertainment and commercial attorneys who specialize in live events. You get real legal backup in hours, not weeks.

Venue liability disputes — injury claims, property damage, indemnification fights
Talent cancellation & breach — no-show recovery, deposit disputes, rider violations
Sponsor agreement disputes — deliverable conflicts, impression guarantees, payment collection
Permit & licensing compliance — entertainment permits, liquor license issues, noise ordinance defense

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.

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.
