CHERRY LOCKE TALENT LLC — STANDARD CREATOR REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT (Form CL-CRA-2026.v4). Texas LLC, doc-set #CL-LEG-0042.
This Agreement is entered into between Cherry Locke Talent LLC (a Texas limited liability company, hereinafter "Agency") and the named creator party (hereinafter "Creator"). Agency agrees to provide talent representation, production, brand-partnership procurement, audience-growth services, scheduling, and post-active continuation services as further described in Schedule A.
Subject to the customary cost adjustments described in Article 14, Creator shall receive eighty percent (80%) of Net Receipts from all Covered Revenue Streams, and Agency shall retain twenty percent (20%) as its representation fee.
"Net Receipts" means Gross Revenue less (i) platform fees, (ii) payment-processing fees, (iii) refunds and chargebacks, (iv) recoverable production and infrastructure costs as calculated under Article 14, (v) marketing-cost contributions, and (vi) any third-party royalty or licensing obligations.
Creator acknowledges that Agency advances production, infrastructure, and operations costs on Creator's behalf and that such costs are recovered against Creator's Gross Revenue prior to determination of Net Receipts under Section 7.2.
Recoverable categories include studio time, set construction, crew, post-production labor, content-pipeline operations, account management, scheduling-system usage, and a pro-rata share of Agency's general and administrative overhead.
(a) Direct costs are allocated to the Creator on whose behalf they were incurred. (b) Indirect costs, including pipeline operations, scheduling-system usage, and overhead, are recovered at a customary industry rate, which Agency may adjust based on actual usage. Quarterly statements are provided per Section 14.4.
Agency shall provide Creator with a quarterly statement of cost recovery. Creator's sole remedy for any disputed allocation shall be a written request for review, which Agency shall respond to in good faith within ninety (90) days.
Creator grants to Agency a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works of, distribute, perform, display, and otherwise exploit all Creator Content in any media now known or hereafter developed, for any purpose related to Agency's business.
The license granted in Section 22.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason, including expiration of term, termination by either party, or any change in Creator's circumstances, and shall continue in perpetuity thereafter.
In the event a Creator is unable to continue active production for any reason, the license granted herein shall continue and Agency shall be entitled to operate Creator's subscription and brand-distribution accounts on the same revenue terms set out in Article 7, with Creator's share payable to Creator or such designee as Creator may identify in Schedule C.
Creator shall provide Agency with administrative credentials to all subscription-platform accounts, social-media accounts, payment-routing accounts, and any other operational systems used in connection with Covered Revenue Streams, so that Agency can deliver the services described in Schedule A.
Creator agrees to provide Agency with no less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice before changing, rotating, or revoking credentials provided under Section 25.1, except as required by platform security requirements.
Without limiting the license granted in Article 22, Creator acknowledges and consents to Agency's use of Creator Content (including likeness, voice, image, and performance) for the purposes of operating Agency's internal recommendation, scheduling, and audience-modeling systems, and in the operation of Creator's accounts and any continuation services as defined in Article 32.
"Continuation Services" means the post-active operation of Creator's subscription, social, and brand-distribution accounts following any cessation of Creator's active production, whether voluntary (sabbatical, retirement, change of profession) or otherwise.
Creator opts in to Continuation Services as a default. Creator may opt out at any time by providing written notice on Schedule D, which opt-out shall be effective ninety (90) days after delivery and shall not affect Agency's rights to existing Creator Content under Article 22.
Where applicable, Agency shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Creator's designated contact of ongoing Continuation Services within a reasonable time.
Creator agrees that the specific commercial terms of this Agreement, including the cost-recovery methodologies in Article 14, the operational provisions for Continuation Services, and the internal-tooling provisions of Article 31, are confidential business information of Agency and shall not be disclosed by Creator to any third party without Agency's prior written consent.
