Why Agency Contracts Matter

Agency contracts are important because they define your relationship with the agency. They outline what the agency will do, what you'll do, how money is split, how long you'll work together, and what happens if things don't work out. Understanding your contract protects you and ensures you know what you're agreeing to.

What Contracts Cover

Contracts typically cover:

• Services the agency provides
• Fees and payment structure
• Length of the agreement
• Termination clauses
• Rights and responsibilities
• Other important terms

Understanding what's in your contract helps you make informed decisions.

Why You Should Review Carefully

Reviewing contracts carefully is important because:

• Contracts are legally binding
• You're committing to terms

• It ensures you understand what you're agreeing to
• It prevents problems later

Taking time to review contracts carefully is essential.

At TP MGMT, we believe in transparent, fair contracts. We want creators to understand what they're signing and feel comfortable with the terms.

1. Fee Structure

Understand how fees work:

• What percentage does the agency take?
• Are there any additional fees?
• When are fees calculated?
• Are fees clear and transparent?
• Compare with other agencies

Fee structure is one of the most important terms. Make sure you understand exactly how much you'll pay.

2. Services Included

Know what services are included:

• What exactly does the agency do?
• What's included in the fee?
• What's not included?
• Are services clearly defined?
• Make sure it matches what they promised

Services should be clearly defined in the contract. Make sure it matches what you discussed.

3. Contract Length

Understand how long you're committing:

• How long is the contract?
• Is it month-to-month or fixed term?
• What happens at the end?
• Can you renew or extend?
• Understand the commitment

Contract length determines how long you're committed. Make sure you're comfortable with the timeframe.

Know how to get out if needed:

• Can you terminate the contract?
• What's the process for leaving?
• Is there a notice period?
• Are there penalties for leaving early?

Termination clauses are important. You should be able to leave if the relationship isn't working.

5. Payment Terms

• How often are payments made?
• What's the payment method?
• Are there any delays or holds?

• Make sure rights are clear

Rights and ownership are important. Make sure you understand who owns what.

7. Exclusivity

Check if there's an exclusivity clause:

At TP MGMT, we include all these terms clearly in our contracts. We're transparent about fees, services, terms, and expectations.

Red Flags in Contracts

Here are red flags to watch for:

1. Unclear or Vague Terms

Unclear terms are a problem:

• Vague language
• Confusing clauses
• Not clear what you're agreeing to
• Hard to understand
• Get clarification or don't sign

Contracts should be clear. If you don't understand it, don't sign it.

2. Very Long Contracts

Very long contracts can be concerning:

• Multi-year commitments
• Hard to get out of
• Locked in for a long time
• Be cautious of long terms
• Consider shorter terms first

Very long contracts lock you in. Consider starting with shorter terms.

3. High Penalties for Leaving

High penalties are a red flag:

• Large fees for termination
• Unreasonable penalties
• Hard to leave
• Trapped in contract
• Be very cautious

High penalties for leaving are concerning. You should be able to exit reasonably.

4. Hidden Fees

Hidden fees are a major red flag:

• Fees not mentioned upfront
• Surprise costs
• Unclear fee structure
• Additional charges
• Read contracts carefully

All fees should be clear upfront. Hidden fees are a warning sign.

5. No Exit Clause

No way to leave is concerning:

• Can't terminate contract
• Very difficult to leave
• No exit options
• Trapped in contract
• Major red flag

You should be able to leave if needed. Contracts without reasonable exit clauses are a red flag.

6. Unfair Terms

Unfair terms are concerning:

• Terms that only favor the agency
• Unreasonable requirements
• Unfair to you
• One-sided agreement
• Get legal advice if needed

Contracts should be fair to both parties. Unfair terms are a red flag.

At TP MGMT, we avoid all these red flags. Our contracts are clear, fair, and include reasonable exit clauses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I look for in OnlyFans agency contracts?

Look for: fee structure (what percentage, are there additional fees, when are fees calculated), services included (what exactly does the agency do, what's included, what's not), contract length (how long is the commitment, is it month-to-month or fixed term), termination clause (can you terminate, what's the process, are there penalties), payment terms (when do you get paid, how often, what's the method), rights and ownership (who owns your content, what rights does the agency have), exclusivity (are you exclusive, can you work elsewhere), and performance expectations (what's expected of you, are there minimum requirements). These are the key terms that affect your relationship with the agency. At TP MGMT, we include all these terms clearly in our contracts.

What are red flags in agency contracts?

Red flags include: unclear or vague terms (hard to understand, confusing language), very long contracts (multi-year commitments, hard to get out of), high penalties for leaving (large fees for termination, unreasonable penalties), hidden fees (fees not mentioned upfront, surprise costs), no exit clause (can't terminate, very difficult to leave), and unfair terms (terms that only favor the agency, unreasonable requirements). If you see these red flags, be very cautious. Consider getting legal advice and negotiating terms. At TP MGMT, we avoid all these red flags in our contracts.

Should I get legal advice before signing a contract?

Yes, it's a good idea to get legal advice, especially for longer contracts or if you're unsure about terms. Legal advice can help you: understand what you're signing, identify problematic terms, negotiate better terms, protect yourself, and make informed decisions. While it costs money, it can save you from problems later. For shorter contracts or if terms are very clear, you might not need it, but it's always safer to get advice. At TP MGMT, we encourage creators to review contracts carefully and get legal advice if needed.

Can I negotiate contract terms?

Yes, you can negotiate contract terms. Don't be afraid to ask for changes if needed. You can negotiate: fees (percentage, additional fees), contract length (shorter terms, flexibility), termination clauses (easier exit, lower penalties), services (what's included, customization), and other terms. Contracts are negotiable—don't accept terms you're not comfortable with. Stand up for yourself and get what you need. Good agencies are willing to negotiate reasonable terms. At TP MGMT, we're open to discussing terms and finding what works for both parties.

What if I want to leave the agency?

If you want to leave, check your contract's termination clause. It should outline: how to terminate (what's the process, notice required), when you can leave (immediate, after notice period), penalties (are there fees, what are they), and what happens after (content ownership, payments). Follow the process outlined in your contract. If the contract doesn't allow reasonable exit, that's a red flag. You should be able to leave if the relationship isn't working. At TP MGMT, we include reasonable termination clauses that allow creators to leave if needed.

How long should agency contracts be?

Contract length depends on your preferences. Shorter contracts (month-to-month, 3-6 months) offer: more flexibility, easier to leave, less commitment, and ability to test the relationship. Longer contracts (1-2 years) offer: more stability, potentially better terms, but less flexibility. Many creators prefer starting with shorter contracts to test the relationship, then extending if it works. Very long contracts (3+ years) can be concerning because they lock you in. Consider what works for you. At TP MGMT, we offer flexible contract terms that work for creators.

What questions should I ask before signing?

Ask about: fees (what percentage, additional fees, when calculated), services (what exactly will you do, what's included, what's not), contract (how long, can I terminate, what's the process), expectations (what's expected of me, minimum requirements, communication), and results (what can I expect, how long, can you show examples, references). Don't be afraid to ask questions. Good agencies are happy to answer them. If an agency won't answer questions or is evasive, that's a red flag. At TP MGMT, we're happy to answer all questions and are transparent about everything.

Are there hidden fees I should watch for?

Yes, watch for hidden fees. Read contracts carefully and look for: fees not mentioned upfront, surprise costs, unclear fee structures, additional charges, setup fees, termination fees, and other hidden costs. All fees should be clear and transparent upfront. If you see fees that weren't mentioned, that's a red flag. Ask about all fees before signing. Compare fee structures with other agencies. At TP MGMT, we're transparent about all fees upfront—no hidden costs.

What happens to my content if I leave the agency?

It depends on your contract. Check the rights and ownership section. Typically: you own your content, the agency may have used it for promotion, you can continue using it, but check your specific contract. Some contracts may have restrictions on content use after leaving. Make sure you understand content ownership and rights before signing. You should own your content. If the contract says the agency owns your content, that's a major red flag. At TP MGMT, creators own their content—we never claim ownership.

Should I sign if I'm not sure about terms?

No, don't sign if you're not sure about terms. Instead: ask questions (get clarification on anything unclear), get legal advice (have a lawyer review it), negotiate terms (ask for changes if needed), take your time (don't rush, think it through), and only sign when comfortable (you should understand and be comfortable with all terms). Signing something you don't understand can lead to problems later. It's better to wait, ask questions, and only sign when you're sure. At TP MGMT, we want creators to understand and be comfortable with contracts before signing.
