SOUND FAMILIAR?

Signing fast — and paying for it later

Verbal promises that never quite made it into the actual contract

The kickoff call covered scope, deliverables, even extra footage — and the signed agreement somehow ended up half of that, in the brand’s favour.

Usage rights vague enough that the brand keeps using the work for months

A campaign that was meant to last a launch ends up in paid ads, on the homepage, and in retail decks long after the original fee was spent.

Exclusivity clauses broader than the fee — blocking other styling income

A modest payment came with sweeping competitor restrictions — and the next three months of perfectly good collaborations had to be turned down quietly.

WHAT’S INSIDE

Inside the checklist, 6 sections and 23 items

Confirm the Scope of Work

List every deliverable by format, lock in revision rounds, clarify who provides what, and get every verbal promise into the written agreement before work starts.

Define Timeline and Approval

Real dates for product, prep, drafts, feedback, and post — plus a clause for when product runs late or the brand changes its schedule on you.

Review Payment Terms

Total fee, deposit, invoice flow, late-payment language, and the surcharges for extra deliverables, rush, reshoots, or extended usage clearly priced from day one.

Protect Usage Rights

Specify where the work can run, limit by channel and time, separate organic from paid and whitelisting, and require written approval for anything outside the original deal.

Check Exclusivity and Conflicts

Pin the exact competitors, categories, and dates in scope — and refuse exclusivity that locks up more income than the fee actually compensates for.

Finalize Before Posting

Cancellation terms, kill fees, signed contract and assets archived in one folder, payment and disclosure cleared — and the lessons captured for the next deal.
