Understanding the payment terms outlined in your influencer contract is crucial. Typically, payment schedules vary based on the agreement, but they usually range from 14 to 90 days after the completion of the work or the submission of an invoice.

If you haven't received payment:

• Review your contract: Refer to the specific payment terms outlined in your contract to confirm the agreed-upon timeline and payment method.

• Send a polite reminder: If you haven't received payment by the specified date, send a polite reminder email or message to the brand or agency.

• Follow up: If you don't receive a response or payment after a reasonable period, consider following up with a more formal communication, such as a letter or email.

If you continue to face payment issues, our team can assist you in pursuing legal action or alternative dispute resolution methods.

If you haven't met your KPIs, it's important to understand the specific terms of your contract. While not meeting KPIs can impact your payment, it's crucial to have an open dialogue with the brand to discuss the situation.

Here's what you can do:

• Understand the specific KPIs and the consequences of not meeting them.

• Discuss the reasons for not meeting the KPIs with the brand.

• Explore options like partial payment or additional opportunities to make up for the shortfall.

Yes, absolutely. Transparency is key in influencer marketing. Failure to clearly label sponsored content can lead to legal and ethical issues.

To ensure compliance with regulations like the ASA Code of Practice, you should clearly indicate sponsored content using phrases such as "ad," "sponsored," or "paid partnership." This can be done in the caption, description, or as a visual label on the post itself.

Remember, misleading consumers can damage your reputation and lead to penalties. Always prioritize transparency and honesty in your influencer partnerships.

Generally, you own the copyright to photos you take, unless there's a specific agreement in place.

However, when you're working with brands, it's important to have clear agreements about ownership rights. These agreements should outline who owns the copyright to the photos, whether you or the brand.

If the brand owns the copyright, they may have the right to use the photos for various purposes, such as advertising or marketing. If you retain ownership, you may need to grant the brand a license to use the photos under specific terms and conditions.

Always consult with a legal professional to ensure your rights are protected. LegalLens is here to help.
