A good influencer contract states deliverables, dates, approvals, usage rights, exclusivity, payment terms and what happens if something changes. Put it in writing before any shoot.

The checklist

Deliverables: formats, numbers, platforms and dates.

Approvals: who approves what and how many revisions.

Usage rights: where and for how long the brand may reuse content.

Exclusivity: competitors the creator must avoid, and for how long.

Disclosure: the label the creator must use.

Payment: amount, schedule and invoice terms.

Cancellation: what happens if either side cancels or delays.
