OnlyFans agency contracts: what to check

An agency contract sets out who does what, who gets what and how you part ways. Problems rarely appear in the first weeks; they appear when you want to leave. So read the contract from the end: what happens when you want out?

Term and notice

The most important clause. A trial month or a month-to-month agreement with short notice is fair. Minimum terms of six or twelve months are a problem, as are automatic renewals for the same period if you miss a deadline.

Check the form as well: does notice have to be sent by post, or is email enough? Is there a right to terminate early if the agency fails to deliver, for example if the chat goes unstaffed for days?

Commission and invoicing

The contract must say what percentage the agency receives and of what. Calculation on net, after the 20 percent platform fee, is standard. If it only says "of revenue", ask.

• When and how is it invoiced? Monthly with a statement is standard.
• Who pays for ads, tools and chat staff? That should be covered by the commission.
• Can the agency change the rate on its own? It should not be able to.

The platform payout goes to your account and you pay the agency its share. If it runs the other way round, you depend on the agency paying you.

Commission after the contract ends

Some contracts give the agency a share of your revenue for months after you leave, justified by fans gained during the partnership. A short tail of one month is defensible. Six or twelve months are not, because in that time you effectively cannot hire a new agency.

Account, access and content rights

The OnlyFans account is in your name, with your email address and your bank account. The contract should state that it belongs to you and that the agency only receives revocable working access.

The same goes for social media accounts created for you. Have it recorded that they pass to you with all credentials when the contract ends. For your content, grant a simple licence for the duration of the contract, not an exclusive or perpetual one.

Exclusivity and non-compete

Not hiring a second agency for the same account during the term is normal. A ban on working with other agencies after the contract ends, or on being active on other platforms, is not.

Boundaries and approvals

What may be written and sold in your name? Record in writing which content is off limits, whether custom requests need your approval, and whether the team may promise things you then have to deliver. A list attached to the contract is enough.

Penalties, jurisdiction, confidentiality

Penalties for leaving or for delivering too little content are a clear warning sign. Also check which law governs the contract and where a claim would have to be brought. Many agencies are based abroad. That is not disreputable in itself, but it makes enforcing your rights more expensive.

A confidentiality clause protects both sides and should also say that the agency does not pass on your identity or legal name.

Checklist before you sign

• Term of one to three months at most, or month-to-month

• No commission after exit, or one month at most
• Account, login and payouts stay with you
• Social accounts pass to you at the end

For larger sums, an hour with a contract lawyer is worth it. It costs less than a month in a bad contract.
