BRAND AMBASSADOR AGREEMENT
This Agreement takes effect on [DATE] between: CREATOR: [Creator Full Name] ("Creator") Creator contact/address for notices: [CREATOR CONTACT] BRAND: [Brand/Company Name] ("Brand") Brand contact/address for notices: [BRAND CONTACT]
1. APPOINTMENT AND TERM
Brand appoints Creator as a non-exclusive independent ambassador for [PRODUCTS], beginning on [DATE] and ending on [END DATE]. Renewal is not automatic and requires written agreement before expiry. Creator will identify the sponsored relationship whenever representing Brand and may not bind Brand, negotiate customer contracts, promise refunds or speak as a company employee. Existing personal opinions and unrelated projects remain Creator's own. The parties will name one contact each to approve briefs and handle concerns.
2. RECURRING DUTIES
Monthly deliverables: [DELIVERABLES]. Calendar, draft deadlines, publication dates and channels: [DELIVERY]. Each sponsored post must remain live for [POST LIVE TERM], apart from naturally expiring stories if specified. Events, travel, appearances and extra content are included only if expressly listed with dates and compensation. Brand will supply products and training needed for truthful demonstrations. Creator will provide links and available aggregate performance reports monthly; no access to private account data is required.
3. COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES
Brand agrees to pay Creator a fixed monthly retainer, invoiced at the start of each month and due within the agreed payment terms.
Monthly fee: USD $[AMOUNT], due within 15 days of the invoice issued at the start of the service month. This monthly schedule controls any general payment label. Products or benefits included: [PRODUCTS AND VALUE]. No commission is implied; any affiliate compensation needs a written rate and attribution schedule. Brand reimburses only expenses approved in advance with receipts. For a partial final month, fees are prorated against agreed deliverables and committed work; unearned advances are returned within 15 days. Sales targets are goals, not a condition for paying the fixed fee.
4. REVIEW AND REVISIONS
Brand has five business days after receipt to approve or give one consolidated list of specific departures from the agreed brief. One revision round to address those departures is included, due within five business days of receiving feedback. A changed brief, new concept, extra version or reshoot caused by Brand requires a separately agreed fee and deadline. Silence does not permit publication of an unapproved endorsement: Creator may invoice work conforming to the brief after the review period and pause further work pending feedback. Brand cannot delay payment indefinitely by withholding feedback. Brand-caused delays extend deadlines by the corresponding delay; the parties will agree a new date when rescheduling is necessary.
5. USAGE LICENSE AND EXPIRY
Organic use only on the channels expressly listed in this Agreement. No paid advertising or account access is included. Posting by Creator is required only if expressly included in the deliverables.
Permitted channels/accounts: [CHANNELS]. Territory: [TERRITORY]. License starts: [USAGE START]. License duration: [USAGE TERM]. The license is non-exclusive and limited to the final approved Content, the stated channels, territory and period. It takes effect only after compensation currently due for that Content has been provided. Where only future affiliate commissions are owed, the license may begin on approved delivery while Brand meets its reporting and payout obligations; it does not require prepayment of commissions not yet earned. Missing license terms must be agreed before use; they do not grant perpetual or unrestricted rights. Brand may let a service provider operate the campaign on its behalf under these same limits and remains responsible for that provider. No resale, sublicensing to other brands or use outside this scope is allowed. On expiry, stop ads and remove licensed copies from Brand-controlled public channels within five business days; secure internal legal records may be retained. Renewals require written agreement on scope and price.
6. OWNERSHIP AND PERMITTED EDITS
Creator retains copyright, pre-existing materials and all rights not expressly licensed. No work-made-for-hire status, copyright assignment or exclusivity is created. Brand retains its trademarks and supplies permission to use its materials solely to perform this Agreement. Each party must obtain permission for people, music, stock assets and other materials it supplies, for the actual licensed uses; trending platform audio is not assumed cleared for advertising. Brand may crop, resize and add accurate captions without changing the meaning. Other edits require Creator's written approval. Creator's name, voice and likeness may be used only as included in the licensed Content. AI training, synthetic voice, digital replicas and misleading endorsements are excluded. Creator may show publicly released Content in a portfolio, subject to confidentiality.
7. DISCLOSURES AND HONEST CLAIMS
Creator will clearly disclose payment, free products or affiliate commissions whenever endorsing Brand. Disclosures must appear with the endorsement, be easy to notice and understand, and use the endorsement's language. A platform label alone, a buried hashtag or the words "affiliate link" alone may not explain the relationship. Brand will give disclosure instructions, monitor sponsored publications and promptly request corrections. Neither party may remove required disclosures or require a positive review. Brand is responsible for substantiating product claims it supplies; Creator will describe only genuine experience and will not add unsupported performance, health or earnings claims.
8. EXCLUSIVITY, CONDUCT AND EXIT
No exclusivity is included without a separate signed schedule naming competitors, restricted services, dates and the related fee. Neither party may require a misleading endorsement or unlawful conduct. Either may end this Agreement on 30 days' written notice or after a material breach is not cured within seven days of written notice. Urgent unlawful or infringing use may be stopped immediately. A subjective reputational concern alone does not forfeit earned fees. At expiry or termination, Creator stops presenting themselves as a current ambassador; Brand stops new uses outside each Content license and removes the current-ambassador designation. Completed paid Content retains only its agreed remaining license period. Earned fees, approved costs and any separately agreed accrued commissions remain payable.
9. CONFIDENTIALITY AND PERSONAL DATA
Each party will protect non-public briefs, launch plans, prices, credentials and personal information received from the other, use them only for this engagement and share them only with people who need them and are bound to protect them. This does not cover information already public without breach, independently developed, or lawfully received from someone else. Legally required disclosures are permitted, with prior notice where lawful. On request or termination, confidential information will be returned or deleted, except legally required records and secure backups. These duties continue for two years after termination; trade secrets remain protected while they qualify as such. Shipping and contact details may not be used for unrelated marketing.
10. RESPONSIBILITY AND INDEPENDENT STATUS
Each party confirms it has authority to sign and will comply with laws and platform rules applicable to its own conduct. Creator is an independent contractor responsible for their equipment and taxes; this Agreement does not create employment, a partnership or authority to bind the other party. Brand will reimburse only expenses approved in writing beforehand. Each party is responsible for direct losses caused by its breach, negligence or infringement by materials it supplies. Neither party guarantees views, sales or platform availability. Neither is liable for speculative lost profits or indirect damages, except where exclusion is prohibited by law. Nothing limits liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, unpaid agreed compensation or rights that cannot legally be limited.
11. NOTICES, DISPUTES AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT
Notices must be sent to the contact addresses above; receipt must be acknowledged or otherwise evidenced. The parties will first try in good faith to resolve a dispute for 15 days after written notice, without preventing urgent court relief or mandatory statutory remedies. Governing law and courts: [GOVERNING LAW AND COURTS], subject to mandatory applicable law. This Agreement and any brief expressly accepted by both parties are the entire agreement. This Agreement controls a conflict with a brief unless a signed amendment identifies the clause being changed. Changes, renewals and transfers of this Agreement require both parties' written consent. An invalid provision does not invalidate the rest. Electronic signatures and counterparts may be used to the extent permitted by applicable law. Each signatory confirms authority to bind the named party.
