I found Creators Legal very helpful and easy to use, that’s why I subscribed for the year. I picked a contract, used the form builder then switched to the Full Editor feature to modify/add certain things that pertain to us.
I loved the fact that I could find legal agreements for all marketing areas: podcast, social media, photography and more in one place! The annual subscription is worthy because I have access to all templates. The interface is also user friendly and very easy to use!
Easy to use templates, and I like that I can quickly jump on here and send out contracts as I need them. I’ve used single contracts but it’s worth getting the subscription if you’re signing contracts regularly. Better than copy/pasting contracts as I was doing before.
I discovered Creators’ Legal and I just got to say they are just phenomenal, the platform is great, its really helped my podcast in terms of contracts, monetization and other content creators. Overall super friendly.
This Product is Awesome! It allow me to opportunity to protect our brand with the proper legal language.
