Getting paid to let someone use your work is not the same as giving it to them.
A lot of creators don't know that. They sign something, get a check, and find out months later that a brand is running their content in a national ad campaign, training an AI model with their face, or reselling it to a third party... all without owing them another dime. Because the paperwork said so. Paperwork they didn't fully read.
This is the contract that stops that.
License It, Don't Lose It is an attorney-drafted licensing agreement for when a brand, platform, or partner wants to use content you've already created. You keep the copyright. You define exactly what they get: which platforms, which uses, for how long, in which territories and everything outside that definition requires a new agreement.
What's inside:
A complete licensing agreement with exclusive vs. non-exclusive selection, permitted use and platform restrictions, derivative works authorization, payment terms with license suspension if they don't pay, a 30-day post-termination wind-down, and Exhibit A (Licensing Conditions & Restrictions) integrated directly into the document. Not a separate attachment. Not something that gets lost. Built in.
The AI training prohibition is in here, too. It's not optional. It's not a checkbox. It's a standard clause, because in 2026, letting a brand opt your content into AI training by default isn't a risk, it's a guarantee.
Also includes a prep sheet that covers the ten terms you need to understand before you license anything, including what perpetual rights actually mean, why vague scope always benefits the Licensee, and the difference between a license and an assignment (spoiler: one of those is forever).
Who this is for: Creators who want brands and partners to use their existing work (photos, videos, writing, audio) without handing over ownership or control of what happens next.
What most templates won't tell you: "Optional" AI clause isn't a feature. It's a liability. This agreement treats the AI prohibition the same way it treats payment terms: non-negotiable.
