Are you being paid to create user-generated content (UGC) to promote a Brand’s product?
And, you’re tired of trying to figure out al the legal jargon and contracts on your own?
Well…you’ve come to the right place.
Introducing our UGC Bundle (Legal) - which includes a contract template, training video, and so much more to help you earn more money and legally protect your creator rights.
💭 Imagine sending your professional, well-written contract to a brand, knowing how to edit their contract, and knowing how to negotiate better deals (in terms of money and contract terms) without the constant legal worry and headaches.
AND…..picture being able to tailor each deal to align perfectly with what you negotiated and ensuring you are not unknowingly taking on any legal obligations or responsibilities that you shouldn’t be.
It’s possible!!!
This bundle is your key to confidently monetizing your content, negotiating contracts with ease, and legally protecting you and your content creation business.
👉 What’s Included?
UGC Client Contract template drafted by a lawyer, it is fully customizable and includes easy-to-follow instructions
Reviewed and approved for use in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the U.K. and the U.S.
Contract Amendment Template - make adjustments to your original contract after it’s been signed - so you can sell additional content, extend the organic or paid ad licensing/usage right time period, sell raw footage, and more.
UGC Creator Outline of must-have legal terms and items to address/negotiate with the brand
Legal Training Video to help explain it all along with potential liability and pitfalls
Our template was designed for "if/then" scenarios - you no longer have to guess what terms should be included or not. We tell you!
The easy to use instructions and color coding guides make it that much easier to use our templates and to know what is a variable term that needs to be customized versus a legal note to you.
Provided in a PDF (with a master link to Google drive documents).
👉 What is the UGC Client Contract Template?
The UGC Client Contract Template is your own customizable agreement to send to Brands, which includes informational know-how to assist in your customization.
This is great for knowing the exact language to include,
If the Brand has an agreement (but it's too general, broad, or is written to protect them only), then you have the exact language to send to them to edit their contract.
If the Brand doesn't propose an agreement, make sure that you at least have one! This is the best way to protect yourself and to set clear boundaries on what is expected for each party.
Better yet, ask the Brand to review and approve your agreement instead!
👉 What is the UGC Creator Outline?
The "UGC Creator Outline" is a comprehensive checklist-styled outline (over 3 pages long!) to cross-check that a Brand's proposed agreement includes all the necessary terms to protect YOU, as the UGC creator.
Brand asking you to re-edit for a 3rd time? Nope. Good thing you used the Outline and added a key term to prevent this, now they'll have to pay extra for that.
You provided licensing rights, but now the Brand is asking for your backend account information? Good thing you checked the contract before signing and made sure that you were providing Paid Media rights only, not whitelisting/dark posting. You refer the Brand to the contract - they'll have to pay more for that.
One way indemnification clause in the Brand's favor? Nope. You caught this and asked them to revise.
Arbitration Clause included? No way! Good thing you caught this and asked them to revise.
The comprehensive Outline helps you avoid these types of situations, and more.
👉 What is the Legal Training Video?
In the Legal Training video, our attorney, Alyssa Malchiodi, explains the importance behind certain key terms, identifies legal issues and potential pitfalls, and guides you through your UGC Creator Outline and UGC Brand Agreement.
We don't just send you a bunch of legal mumbo-jumbo and legal templates. We want you to KNOW the legal reasons behind the key terms so that you feel confident and can truly protect yourself.
Templates are worthless unless you understand the terms and WHY the terms are included - allowing you to customize your template for each brand deal.

All of our templates were drafted by Alyssa Malchiodi, a licensed attorney in the State of Nevada and California. She has been practicing law for over 12 years, in the following areas of law: business, contracts, social media marketing, and brand protection (copyright and trademarks).
We've also helped many creatives and other online businesses along their journey and frequently update our templates to stay up-to-date in the industry.

There are lots of choices when it comes to online contract templates.
Many of the "free" contract templates found online are missing key terms, are not attorney-drafted, and are not specifically tailored to UGC creators. Often times "free" equates to sloppy, quasi-legal, unprofessional contracts with terms that are often contradictory and don't cover all the bases. It can backfire and end of costing you more money down the road when things don't work out with the client/Brand.
Unlike other template shops, our template and bundle is priced so it's affordable for all creators.
We also include a video guide and outline to make sure that you truly understand the contract or have the factual knowledge to negotiate with the Brand regarding their contract. We think templates are worthless unless you understand the terms inside.
Also, our templates are more of an "if/then" set up and a "choose your own adventure" style- because, each brand deal will be different and will require you to customize the contract for that deal. We've included when some terms should be included, and not included.
Did we also mention these are attorney-drafted by an attorney with other 10 years of experience in business litigation and contract law? So much knowledge is packed into this bundle.
-
Our templates are based on basic contract law and formation (offer, acceptance, something of value in exchange for goods/services) and are generally accepted by all U.S. states and a majority of countries as well.
However, we have only reviewed and approved the templates for the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.
Overall, our contracts are great at capturing the spirit of the working relationship and making sure that each party knows what is and is not expected of them.
We think having legal training and a general lawyer approved template is way better than having nothing…it is like being 99% legally protected. To get that other 1%, and to be completely sure, it would require that you hire a local attorney to draft you a custom contract OR have local counsel review our template for your local laws.
Because contract templates are not drafted for you and where you are located, we highly recommend getting a contract template and then having a local attorney in your area review it regardless of where you live.
But hiring a lawyer isn’t always affordable, which is why templates are such a wonderful alternative.
