UGC Contracts

UGC contracts aren’t scary, but ignoring them is. Always get terms in writing, know exactly how your content will be used, set usage length, and don’t hand over full rights for pennies. If it’s not clear, don’t post, don’t send, and don’t sign—protect your work before it protects a brand.
