Your contract & negotiation advocate
AI contract analysis, counter-proposals, and licensed attorney access for music artists.
Label deal lands in your inbox — Clause reads it in 15 seconds. You see exactly what they're asking for: master ownership, advance structure, recoup rates, delivery obligations, territory, and term length. Everything color-coded. Red items come with counter-proposal language you can send directly.
Management deals are career-defining — commissions, duration, territory, post-term tails. Most artists sign without understanding the exit. Clause extracts commission rates, term length, key-person clauses, sunset provisions, and post-term collection rights. Routes high-value deals to an entertainment attorney.
Sync deals feel like 'making it' — so you rush to sign. Clause extracts master vs publishing splits, MFN clauses, step deal structures, territory, and media type. Benchmarks against typical rates by placement type. Routes high-value deals to a music attorney.
Publishing agreements control your songwriting income for years — sometimes decades. Clause extracts co-pub vs full-pub terms, admin rights, reversion clauses, minimum delivery commitments, and advance structures. Flags deals that take more than industry standard.
Option periods, delivery deadlines, reversion dates, sync license expirations, publishing minimums — Clause extracts them all from your deals automatically. Your calendar fills itself. Alerts fire before deadlines hit so you're never in breach and never letting money slip.
Some deals are too important for AI alone — label offers, catalog acquisitions, management disputes. When Clause detects career-defining risk, it routes your contract to a licensed entertainment attorney who specializes in music. You get human review where it matters, You get real legal backup in hours, not weeks.
My label deal had a clause giving them rights to all future recordings made during the contract term. Not just the album — everything I created for 5 years. Clause flagged it before I finished reading page one.
My management contract had a 2-year post-term tail at full commission rate. That's 20% of everything I earn for 2 years after I leave. Clause showed me standard sunset language to negotiate.
I almost signed a sync deal for $5,000 on a national auto campaign. Clause showed me the market rate was $20K+ and the territory was worldwide perpetual. I renegotiated to $22K with a 2-year cap.
My publishing deal was full-pub, not co-pub. I didn't even know the difference until Clause broke it down. That's half my songwriting income I almost gave away permanently.

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.
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.
