OnlyFans Agency Contract: A 16-Clause Checklist With Six Filled Examples

What should an OnlyFans agency contract include?

An OnlyFans agency contract should name the account owner, list the services in scope, state the commission and the amount it is taken from, say how and when the creator is paid, set a term and an exit and keep the content with its owner. Desirely's glossary page describes the contract as the document that sets the revenue split, the services (see OnlyFans management), each side's duties, the length of the engagement, termination and confidentiality, and Aruna Talent's contract guide lists ten elements, from scope of services to dispute resolution. The checklist turns those into sixteen fields. Use it as a working list, and have a lawyer in the creator's jurisdiction review the final contract before anyone signs.

The OnlyFans agency contract checklist (copy this)

Version 1.0, 8 October 2026. Copy the sixteen fields into a document, one per creator, and fill them in order. Settle fields 3, 5, 6 and 12 before the first call, because they set the money and the exit. Every field stays, even when the answer is "none".

• 1. Parties and account owner: [legal names and addresses, OnlyFans username, account owner]. Name the creator as owner and define agency staff and contractors as "agency personnel".
• 2. Services in scope: [each service by name, how often, what is excluded]. A named service can be checked; "management services" cannot.
• 3. Commission and its base: [X]% of [gross fan spending / earnings after OnlyFans' 20%], on [revenue types]. Write the base and list every deduction before the split. OnlyFans keeps its 20% first, as OnlyFans fees shows.
• 4. Payout route and timing: [the creator's own account that OnlyFans pays, days after payout until the agency's share is paid, statement]. The share comes out of the creator's 80%, as OnlyFans payouts explains.
• 5. Term and trial: [start date, trial length, initial term, renewal rule].
• 6. Termination and notice: [who can end it, how, days of notice, exit fee, grounds for ending at once].
• 7. Account access and credentials: [who holds the login and recovery details, roles for staff and tools, how access is removed]. The creator can revoke access at any time.
• 8. Content ownership and licence: [who owns the content, the agency's licence and its end date, who owns agency-made edits].
• 9. Confidentiality: [what each side protects, for how long after the end].
• 10. Non-compete and non-solicit: [what is restricted and for how long, or "none"].
• 11. Exclusivity: [platforms and services, during the term only].
• 12. Post-termination commission: [none, or a tail of __ days on a named base].
• 13. Chargebacks and refunds: [how deducted before the split, any reserve, when settled]. A card dispute can reverse a sale after the share was paid.
• 14. Co-performer records: [who keeps ID records for anyone else on camera, where filed]. In the US, 18 U.S.C. § 2257 sets ID record-keeping duties for producers of explicit content; the contract names who keeps the records.
• 15. Dispute resolution: [governing law, first step, final forum].
• 16. Signatures: [names, dates, how signed, where stored]. Agency access starts after both sign.

Filled examples: six deal types, same sixteen fields

Each example fills the same sixteen fields in order. Percentages stay [X]% because the two sides agree them. Terms and invoice rhythms are illustrations, not recommendations.

How to adapt the contract to each deal

• Set the term from the work. Aruna Talent's contract guide calls an initial term of 3 to 6 months standard, and Desirely's glossary page recommends a trial of 1 to 3 months with simplified exit terms.
• Write the base before the number. Desirely's page says to spell out whether the share is calculated on gross or net and which revenue sources count. Aruna Talent's commission guide, written by one agency, quotes 30 to 40% for full-service management, not a market-wide rate. The OnlyFans agency guide covers the usual ranges.
• Compare splits by scope. OFM-Tools' template page gives three starting splits: 50/50 when the agency runs everything, 30/70 in the creator's favour for established accounts where the agency only adds chatting, and 60/40 in the agency's favour for new-account builds where the agency pays for content production.
• Match notice to term. Aruna Talent's guide treats 30 to 60 days' written notice after the initial period as fair and warns that 90 days' notice on a 6-month contract means deciding on day one.
• Decide the tail on purpose. OFM-Tools' template page proposes a sunset clause: 60 to 90 days of commission after the end on subscribers acquired during the term. Aruna Talent's guide calls post-termination non-competes particularly predatory, so fields 10 and 12 are separate choices.
• Scope the licence to the job. Aruna Talent's guide wants a limited, revocable licence that ends with the contract. OFM-Tools' template lets the agency keep the edits it makes, such as thumbnails and ad edits. Field 8 says which.

What are the red flags in an OnlyFans agency contract?

The main red flags in an OnlyFans agency contract are a commission with no end date, no login for the creator, a long lock-in and a vague commission base. On the first: an agency can keep earning commission after a creator leaves only if the contract says so, and a fair version caps that tail at a set number of days on fans won during the term. An agency should read its own draft for each of them before a creator's lawyer does.

• A commission with no end date. A share that keeps running after the creator leaves; OFM-Tools' sunset clause caps it at 60 to 90 days.
• No login for the creator. Aruna Talent's guide flags, among others, language that requires the creator to hand over primary credentials, says nothing about the creator's own access, or has no way to remove agency access after the end.
• A long lock-in. The same guide flags, among others, an initial term over 6 months with an agency never worked with, and auto-renewal with a short opt-out window, such as 90 days before the renewal date.
• A vague base. The same guide flags, among others, commission on "all earnings" with no definition of "all", and hidden fees.
• Ownership wording. The same guide names phrases to question, including "in perpetuity", "work made for hire" and "irrevocable". OFM-Tools' template uses an irrevocable licence limited to the term, so read the limit, not only the word.

Which contract mistakes do agencies make?

• Starting on a chat message. Desirely's page lists a verbal agreement or a simple WhatsApp message as a common mistake, with disputes inevitable once revenue grows.
• Using a generic template. OFM-Tools' page says generic influencer or talent-management documents miss chargebacks, vault management, account takeover rights and what happens if the creator fires the agency. OnlyFans chargebacks shows why field 13 matters.
• Giving access before the signature. OFM-Tools' page says access comes only after both parties have signed.
• Not diarising the dates. OFM-Tools' page says to log the start date, renewal date and notice deadline at once. A missed notice date can roll a self-renewing contract into another term.
• Leaving the pitch out of the paper. Aruna Talent's guide says a written contract generally supersedes verbal promises, so every promise from the call goes into field 2.

How do agencies run contracts across many creators?

An agency running many creators keeps one master agreement and one short schedule per creator, plus a register with a row per creator. OFM-Tools' template page describes the same structure: a master agreement with a Schedule A per creator holding the handle, commission, term and services. The sixteen fields above become the register's columns, with the start, renewal and notice dates.

At each renewal, rerun the contract checks in the creator onboarding checklist, confirm who still has access, and file the new signed copy before the old term ends.
