What a UGC contract must pin down

UGC deals go wrong in the same five places, and every field in this template exists to close one of them before filming starts.

Deliverables and scope

How many videos or photos, their length and format, and how many hooks or variations count as one deliverable · “one video” with unlimited re-cuts is not one video.

Usage rights with an end date

Where the brand may run your content · organic pages, paid ads, their site, email · and for how long. Rights that never expire are worth several times a 90-day license, so they should be priced that way.

Exclusivity

Which competitors you cannot work with and for how long. Unpaid exclusivity is a fee you are waiving · price it, shorten it or strike it.

Payment terms

The amount and the due date, counted from delivery or approval · never from “campaign end”, a date the brand controls and you cannot see.

Revisions

How many rounds are included and what counts as a new brief instead of a revision. Two rounds is the working standard for UGC.

Usage rights: the clause that decides what the deal is worth

A UGC fee is not really a price for a video · it is a price for a license. The same 30-second clip is worth one amount if the brand posts it once on its own feed, and a very different amount if it becomes the creative for months of paid ads with your face on them.

That is why the rights clause needs three answers, not one: which channels (organic, paid social, website, email, marketplaces), which period (30, 90 or 365 days is common · perpetual should be a deliberate, separately priced choice), and whether the brand may edit or re-cut the content into new versions.

Ad use through your own account · TikTok Spark Ads or Meta partnership ads · is a separate grant again, because it borrows your handle and your credibility, not just the file. Charge it per month of ad usage, and put the authorization window in writing.

UGC agreement or influencer agreement: which one you need

A UGC deal means you produce content and hand it to the brand to publish on the brand's own channels. You normally have no posting obligation, so the price follows the production work and the license, not your follower count.

An influencer or sponsorship deal means the content goes out on your channels, which brings posting windows, advertising disclosure such as #ad, and expectations about reach into the contract.

This template covers the first case. If the deal includes posts on your own account, generate a sponsorship agreement instead · the AI Contract Maker linked below drafts one around exactly those clauses.

Five clauses to strike before you sign

Worked example: a three-video skincare deal

Say a skincare brand orders three 30- to 45-second vertical videos, two hook variations each. In the template that reads: deliverables “3 vertical videos, 30–45s, 2 hook variations each, filmed to the brief”; usage “organic social and paid social, 90 days from first publication”; exclusivity “no competing skincare brands for 30 days”.

Payment follows the template's own terms · half on signing, half on delivery of the approved content · with two revision rounds inside five business days each. If the brand later wants the ads to keep running past day 90, that is a renewal at a new price, not an email asking for a favor.

Written this way, every later disagreement has a sentence to point at · which is the whole job of a one-page contract.

After the template: the rest of the paperwork

How to use this contract template

  1. Fill in the deal: Enter the brand, the creator, the deliverables, the platforms, the fee and the dates. The agreement below updates as you type.
  2. Check every clause: Read the usage rights, exclusivity, revision and termination clauses against what you agreed by email, and edit anything that does not match.
  3. Download and sign: Copy the text, download it as a .txt file or as the branded PDF, and have both parties sign. For large or paid-media deals, get a lawyer to review it first.

FAQ

Is this contract legally binding?

It is a template based on standard influencer / UGC industry terms but is NOT a substitute for legal advice. We recommend both parties have qualified counsel review the final document before signing, especially for deals over $5,000 or with exclusivity / paid-media usage clauses.

Does this cover paid media (whitelisting, boosting)?

No. Paid media usage is intentionally excluded by default and requires a separate paid usage-rights addendum. Adding paid usage rights typically increases the deal fee by 50-100%.

What jurisdiction should I use?

Most US contracts default to California, Delaware, or New York. EU creators commonly use the country where the creator is tax-resident. Use the jurisdiction of the party with the most leverage and the better courts. When in doubt, ask a lawyer.

Can I edit this template?

Yes. Download the text file and edit freely in Word, Google Docs, or any text editor. The template uses plain text so it imports cleanly anywhere.

What should a UGC contract include?

At minimum: the deliverables and platforms, the fee and when it is paid, delivery and go-live dates, how many revision rounds are included, how long and where the brand may use the content, any exclusivity period, disclosure obligations, how either side can end the deal, who owns the content, and which law applies. This template covers all of them.

Who owns UGC after a brand deal?

Under this template the creator keeps ownership and the brand receives a limited license: non-exclusive, on its own channels, for the number of months you set. If a brand wants to own the content outright or run it as paid ads, that is a buyout or a paid-usage addendum, and it is normally priced on top of the base fee.
