Brands want speed. Platforms change rules. Contracts hide traps—exclusivity landmines, “usage forever,” auto-renew, payment holdbacks, and one-sided indemnities. One clause can freeze your channel or block your next deal. You don’t need theory. You need clean terms and fast answers.

Empire Legal PLLC is built for creators, influencers, YouTubers, streamers, podcasters, and managers. We spot red flags early. We tighten scope, usage, fees, and exit rights so the paper matches real life. We protect IP, name, image, voice, and data. We translate FTC/ASA rules into simple, on-screen disclosures. We handle US, UAE, and EU/UK matters with a cross-border sense. Plain English. Practical edits. Negotiations that move. Less risk, fewer surprises, more room to create.

What’s inside each engagement:

Red-flag pass + edit/rider with business terms that stick.
Platform/MCN math that is auditable and capped.
Likeness and AI-voice/image clauses with approvals.
Privacy basics (GDPR/CCPA/COPPA) that won’t slow you down.

FAQs

Do I need #ad or “paid partnership”?

Yes if there’s value exchanged. Make disclosures clear and hard to miss. Platform tags help but aren’t enough.

What’s the exclusivity trap?

Over-broad categories kill future deals. Narrow by product, region, platform, and time; add carve-outs you can live with.

Who owns the content and usage?

You should. License limited usage with defined media, geography, term, whitelisting, and paid boosting rules.

How do renewals and termination work?

Watch auto-renew and vague “for cause.” Set notice/cure periods and a clean end date.

Are audit rights safe to include?

Often yes, with limits. Cap frequency, protect data, and require payment if off by a set margin.

What about payment holdbacks?

Tie to objective milestones. Cap amounts. Add a timetable and late-fee language.

Non-disparagement—should I sign it?

Narrow to false statements only. Preserve honest reviews and required disclosures.

What if a platform removes my content?

Use appeal windows, evidence-backed notices, and preservation steps; have a takedown/playbook ready.
