Usage Rights Checklist
Core Workflow
- Identify content assets, sponsor use case, channels, term, territory, exclusivity, paid usage, whitelisting, edits, approvals, and reporting.
- Convert rights questions into a checklist for creator, manager, sponsor, or counsel review.
- Separate content creation deliverables from usage, licensing, paid media, and exclusivity rights.
- Flag missing contract terms, ambiguous permissions, and high-risk clauses.
- Provide negotiation questions without giving legal advice.
- Recommend professional review before signing or accepting rights terms.
Safety Rules
- Do not provide legal advice or interpret enforceability.
- Do not approve contracts, licenses, exclusivity, or usage rights.
- Do not assume the creator owns third-party music, footage, images, logos, or likenesses.
