First, nail the scope—what exactly the brand wants you to showcase, the platforms, the length of use, and the exact deliverables. Then lock the compensation in a tiered structure—base fee plus bonuses for hits, likes, or sales that trigger performance clauses. Make sure to include exclusivity windows, a non‑compete clause that bars you from rival brands for the campaign period, and a clause that allows you to terminate if the brand’s use deviates from the agreed creative direction. Finally, secure indemnification and a release of liability to protect you from any misuse of your likeness, and add a clause that any changes must be in writing and signed by both parties. Keep it tight, enforceable, and leave no gray area.

Schedule Lock: The Brand agrees that any studio session scheduled for the agreed late‑night window (10 p.m.–2 a.m.) must be pre‑approved in writing by you. Your availability during these hours is reserved and cannot be overridden without your consent. Merchandise Royalty: For every unit of merchandise sold under your name, you shall receive a royalty equal to 10 % of net sales. The Brand shall provide audited sales reports quarterly and remit the royalty within 30 days of each report.

Merchandise Royalty: For every unit of merchandise sold under your name, you shall receive a royalty equal to 12 % of net sales. The Brand shall provide audited sales reports quarterly and remit the royalty within 30 days of each report. No‑Sunday Clause: The Brand may not schedule or request any studio session, promotional event, or appearance on a Sunday without your prior written consent. If such a request is made, the Brand must provide at least 48 hours’ notice and can cancel without penalty.

You’re absolutely right—if they try to sneak a Sunday session in, the big‑eye lens is all yours. And with that 12% royalty and clear audit trails, we’ve got the perfect safety net to keep you shining.
