A friend lost $2,400 on one brand deal, to a contract they signed.

Every term that cost them was in the contract. They did not know which lines mattered, and there was nowhere obvious to find out.

The story

What the contract actually took

The brand was real and the money was real. What my friend did not price in was everything the agreement quietly took: usage rights they were never paid for, reshoots with no cap on how many the brand could ask for, and payment that kept arriving late with nothing in the contract to push back with.

The options for catching it were not great. A lawyer charges $350 to $720 to look at one agreement, which makes no sense on a $500 deal. The free advice online is general and tends to stop exactly where it would start being useful, which is your contract, your scope, your number.

So I built the thing I wish my friend had had. It reads the contract, tells you which clauses are worse than standard, puts a dollar figure on what each one is costing you, and writes the message you send back to the brand.

The first real test

It was the same friend

They sent over a new contract months later. It flagged a usage rights clause that would have handed the brand paid advertising rights they were not being paid for. That one took about a minute.

What this is, and what it is not

ReviewAgreement is not a law firm and nothing it produces is legal advice. It is a data informed second opinion: it compares your contract against what is standard in creator deals, shows you the gap, and gives you the words to close it.

For a large or unusual agreement, have a lawyer read the final version. That advice costs me sales and I am giving it anyway.

ReviewAgreement also will not tell you what you want to hear. If a contract is fair, it says so.

How it makes money

You pay for reviews. That is the entire model, and I would rather say it plainly than make you guess, because I am asking you to upload a private legal document.

Your contracts are not sold, traded, or rented. They are not used to train anyone's models. They are visible only to you, and you can delete your account along with every contract you have uploaded at any time. The first two reviews are free with no card, so you can judge the output on your own contract before deciding it is worth paying for.

I read every email myself

If a review gets something wrong, if a clause explanation does not make sense, or if there is a contract type it should handle and does not, tell me at hello@reviewagreement.com. Every report also has a thumbs up and thumbs down on it, and I read those too.

To see what it produces before signing up, there is a full sample report with nothing to fill in, or start with how to review a brand deal contract.
