What to check in an OnlyFans agency contract before you sign

Which clauses matter most in an agency contract?

Five clauses decide most of what can go wrong later, so it makes sense to read them before anything else.

• Fee: The contract should say which revenue the percentage applies to, over which period and in which currency. We use revenue after the platform fee, but whichever an agency uses, it belongs in the text.
• Access: It should be clear which permissions the agency gets for which tasks and how they end. Your login, 2FA, recovery details and payouts should stay with you.
• Content: Look for who owns it, what the agency may do with it and what applies after you leave.
• Exclusivity: This clause says what you can’t do elsewhere and until when, and a ban on every other platform deserves a close look.
• Exit: You need the minimum term, the notice period, the form of notice and what gets settled at the end.

A few smaller points also cause trouble later if they’re worded loosely. The document should name the company in full, with an address and a contact person, and the scope should list the tasks and platforms along with what the agency expects from you and by when. It should also say who gets to see your legal name, ID documents and home address and how they’re stored, and changes to the scope or the price should only count if both sides sign them in writing.

Check which country’s law applies and where a dispute would be heard as well, because a lawyer is especially useful here if you live in one country and the agency is based in another.

How can you test the fee clause?

The simplest test uses your own numbers. Take your last full month, subtract the 20% platform fee, apply the agency’s percentage to the amount the contract names and see what’s left. Then do the same calculation on your gross revenue, because if the clause can be read both ways, you’ll get two different results.

Let’s say you had $15,000 in fan payments, which leaves $12,000 after the platform fee. At an example rate of 35%, the agency would get $4,200 of that, while the same 35% of gross revenue would be $5,250, or $1,050 more every month. Our guide to agency commission explains in more detail how the basis works.

What if an answer stays vague?

The best approach is to mark the clause, write down what it should say and ask for a revised version in writing, because a friendly call doesn’t change what’s in the document. If someone tells you “we never enforce that,” it’s a good reason to take the sentence out. You can also ask for the list of permissions as an annex before you share anything.

Some requests should end the conversation, such as being asked for logins or one-time codes or being asked to redirect your payouts. The same goes for a share the agency can change on its own, rights to your content that outlast the contract, and heavy penalties for leaving. Nobody needs your login to give you a price, and a good offer will still be there next week. Our guide to agency red flags covers these points in more detail.

What if you’ve already signed something that bothers you?

Start with everything about leaving: how long you’re bound, how notice works, who holds your files and who still has access. If a clause looks unreasonable, such as a long lock-in or large penalties, it’s best to talk to a lawyer before you give notice. Our guide to leaving a bad agency goes through the exit step by step.

What do our own terms look like?

You can hold us to the same list. Our commission is 25–50% of revenue after the platform fee, including your existing revenue, agreed in writing before we start, with no upfront or extra fees. You can cancel monthly, or immediately by mutual agreement, and your account, login, 2FA, recovery details and payouts stay with you.
