OnlyFans agency contract: what it should say before you sign

Three rules before you read it

1. You should get it before you sign, with time to actually read it. As the Free Speech Coalition puts it, you have a right to know what you're getting into before you agree to anything (Xtra).
2. You can show it to anyone you want: a lawyer, a friend, your partner. Be wary of anyone who tries to talk you out of that.
3. The contract is what counts, not what someone said on WhatsApp. If a promise isn't in writing, ask for it to be added.

The 12 clauses to look for

1. The parties. The company's legal name, state or country, registration number, and address. Plus your details or stage name, depending on how it's signed.
2. The services. A specific list of what the agency does: account setup, chat, editing, posting, social media, a manager, meetings.
3. What you do. How much content and how often. On a fixed salary, the agreed sessions.
4. The split. The exact percentage, whether it's based on net or gross, and a worked example. On a salary: the amount, how raises work, and any bonuses.
5. How the money flows. Who the platform pays, into which account, when the agency's share is paid, and what breakdown you get.
6. Account ownership. That the platform accounts, the login email, and the bank account are all in your name.
7. Your content. That your content belongs to you and the agency can only use it while the contract lasts. A license that ends when you leave is reasonable. A transfer of ownership isn't (Aruna Talent).
8. Your limits. An attachment listing what you're comfortable with and what you're not, which you can update anytime, plus a promise that saying no carries no penalty.
9. Chat. Who talks to your fans, under what rules, and your right to read the conversations.
10. Privacy. Stage name, country blocking, team confidentiality, and how your personal data is handled.
11. Leaving. Days of notice, no fines or "debts," what happens to pending sales and the final payout, and the handover of the accounts.
12. Governing law and disputes. Which law applies and how disagreements get resolved.

Clauses that should make you stop

• Long lock-in periods or penalties for leaving.
• "Debts" for costs nobody explained.
• The agency owning your content or your account.
• Percentages that can change without your signature.
• Fines for turning down content you don't want to make.
• Any fee to get started.

Six questions to ask about the contract before you sign

1. What happens if I want to change my limits three months from now?
2. What happens to last month's sales if I leave?
3. Who can post or message as me, and how do I review it?
4. Can the percentage change without my signature?
5. What personal data do you keep, and when do you delete it?
6. Which law applies, and where would a dispute be resolved?

If an answer isn't in the contract, ask for it to be added in writing.

What if the company is in another country?

A lot of agencies are registered somewhere other than where you live. That's not a problem on its own, but it changes two things: which law governs the contract, and where you'd go if something went wrong.

Check that the company exists in that country's official registry, and ask whether any clauses protect you under your own country's rules, like data protection. If the contract is in a language you're not comfortable with, ask for a version in yours before you sign.
