Contract and Usage Rights Checker
Catch red flags before you sign
Reviews sponsorship/UGC contract terms for common creator risks: unlimited revisions, vague approval timelines, net-60 payments, perpetual usage rights, exclusivity traps, and missing kill fees. Outputs suggested edits and negotiation language.
PROMPT
Create a skill called "Contract and Usage Rights Checker". Input: contract text or a bullet summary of terms. Output: 1) Red flags ranked by severity (payment, usage, revisions, exclusivity, approval, kill fee). 2) Suggested safer clause language for each red flag. 3) A negotiation email template to request changes. 4) A reusable minimum-terms checklist for future deals. Include a clear disclaimer: not legal advice.
How It Works
Paste contract text (or summarize terms). The skill identifies risky clauses and proposes safer alternatives.
Inputs
- Contract text (or key terms)
- Deliverables + timeline
- What you're comfortable granting (usage rights, exclusivity)
Outputs
- Red flag report (ranked)
- Suggested clause rewrites (plain language)
- Negotiation email template
- "Minimum terms" checklist for future deals
Examples
- Input: "Unlimited revisions until approved."
Output: "Rewrite: 1–2 revisions included; extra revisions billed; acceptance timeline."
- Input: "Perpetual ad usage rights."
Output: "Add term limit + renewal fee + platform restrictions."
