Know what your deal
is really giving away.

Producer agreement, label deal, or sync offer lands in your inbox — Clause reads it in 15 seconds. You see exactly what they're asking for: master ownership, publishing splits, royalty structures, delivery obligations. Everything color-coded. Red items come with counter-proposal language you can send directly.

30 seconds, not 30 texts.

Don't sign a sync
on excitement alone.

Sync deals feel like "making it" — so you rush to sign. Clause slows you down just enough: extracts master vs publishing splits, MFN clauses, step deal structures, territory, and media type. Benchmarks against typical rates. Flags when you're leaving money on the table and routes high-value deals to a music attorney.

Negotiate to $12K+ for national TV. Limit territory to US, add step deal for international, and cap term at 24 months.

Track every royalty
stream you're owed.

Every deal creates royalty obligations — publishing splits, master points, sync license windows, recoup thresholds. Clause maps them all across your catalog. When a license expires and someone's still using your music, you'll know. When an advance recoups, you'll know that too.

Your calendar fills itself. Alerts fire before deadlines hit so you're never scrambling and never leaving money on the table.

Real attorneys when the deal
outgrows the tool.

Clause handles the 90% of deals you can read, flag, and negotiate yourself. But some deals need a real lawyer — master disputes with no paper trail, six-figure sync negotiations, label deal structuring, publishing audits. When Clause detects complexity beyond AI analysis, it routes the matter directly to a licensed entertainment or IP attorney who already has context on your deal. You get real legal backup in hours, not weeks.

Master ownership disputes — unpapered deals, contested splits
Sync deal negotiation for $10K+ placements — attorney handles counter-proposals
Label deal structuring — 360 agreements, option terms, advance recoupment
Publishing & royalty disputes — mechanical audits, co-pub conflicts

⚠ Complexity Beyond AI Analysis
This 360 agreement contains cross-collateralization across 4 revenue streams, a key-person clause tied to an A&R exec, and advance recoupment terms referencing a separate side letter. Attorney review strongly recommended before signing.

Cross-collateralization across merch, touring, publishing COMPLEX

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.
