What We Flag

The clauses that cost artists everything

Revenue Risk

Royalty Splits

We flag unfair revenue sharing terms that give you pennies while labels and distributors keep the bulk. Know your split before you sign.

“Artist shall receive 12% of net receipts…”

Ownership Risk

Work-for-Hire Traps

Hidden clauses that strip you of master ownership. If you created it, you should own it. We catch work-for-hire language before it costs you everything.

“All works created shall be considered works made for hire…”

Backend Risk

Producer Credits

Buried backend deals that give producers or engineers hidden points on your tracks. We surface every credit and backend arrangement.

“Producer shall receive 20% of publishing royalties…”
