Contract Risks We Catch
These clauses appear in contracts every day. Our AI flags them instantly.
Master Recording Ownership
Sign once, lose your music forever. Labels typically own masters for life of copyright (your life + 70 years).
360 Deal Obligations
Modern deals take a cut of everything—touring, merch, sponsorships, acting roles, even your social media.
Perpetuity Clauses
Licensing deals that never expire, giving others the right to use your music forever.
Cross-Collateralization
Your hit song's profits pay for your album that flopped. You never see a dime.
Publishing Traps
Lose the rights to songs you wrote. Publishers can control, license, and profit from your compositions.
Sync & Licensing Rights
Your song in a commercial you hate? Many contracts give labels full control over sync licensing.

"They found a clause that would have given my label rights to my next 3 albums after this deal. I had no idea."
"We use SignSafe for every publishing deal. It's caught issues that would have cost our writers millions."
"The sync licensing clause they flagged would have let them put my song in anything. Political ads, anything."
