Direct answer
The most serious contract red flags include transfer of account or recovery control, unclear payout access, broad content or likeness rights, an undefined commission base, hidden auto-renewal, excessive exclusivity and no export or revocation process. The actual agreement should be reviewed by a qualified lawyer.
Ownership and access
- The agency gains ownership of the account, email or recovery.
- A blanket permission covers every setting without an approval map.
- The agency can change payouts or bank details.
- There is no access register or revocation process.
Content and likeness
- A vague or perpetual right to use content or likeness after termination.
- Sublicensing rights without a defined purpose or approval.
- No record of personal boundaries or prohibited uses.
Commercial and exit
- An unclear gross/net fee basis.
- Hidden auto-renewal or a long notice period.
- Broad exclusivity beyond the real scope.
- No export, access removal or deletion schedule.
- Performance guarantees without definitions, methodology or remedy.
What to request
Ask for a plain-language summary of ownership, access, fee basis, operator roles, data, term and exit. If the summary conflicts with the contract, the contract — not the sales call — controls.
