The worst stories in this industry are not about bad marketing. They are about contracts: two-year terms, five-figure exit fees, account credentials the model never gets back. We have read those contracts, because models bring them to us. Then we wrote ours to be the opposite, and the opposite fits in one sentence.
Either side can end the engagement with 90 days' notice. No fee, no reason required.
Why 90 and not zero
Ninety days is not a soft lock-in; it is the time an orderly handover actually takes. Fans need continuity, scheduled content needs to ship, pricing changes mid-flight need to land. A shorter exit punishes the model's own revenue on the way out. A longer one starts serving the agency instead. Ninety is where the interests balance, so ninety is the number.
What to read before signing anywhere
If you take one thing from this journal, take the checklist. Who owns the account and its credentials. Who owns the content made during the term. What exactly happens on exit day. What the agency earns on, and whether it can earn while you don't. Every clause we ask you to read in our contract, we would ask you to read in anyone's.
What to check in an OnlyFans management contract
- Term and renewal: how long the contract runs, and whether it renews by itself.
- Exit notice: how many days, whether either side can give it, and whether leaving costs anything.
- Commission: what it is calculated on (gross or net of the platform's fee), which income it covers, and whether it continues after you leave.
- Payment flow: OnlyFans should pay you directly, and the agency's share should be paid from there, never the other way round.
- Account and logins: the account stays in your name and on your email, and the agency's access ends the day you leave.
- Content: who owns what is filmed during the term, what the agency deletes after exit, and by when.
- Data: what happens to the fan notes, purchase histories and reports built on your account.
- Confidentiality: in both directions, and still in force after the contract ends.
- Non-compete and non-solicit: how long they last, what they cover, and whether they only stop either side poaching staff and fans or stop you working with anyone else at all.
- Reporting: what the agency must show you, how often, and whether you can check it against your own OnlyFans statements.
Whatever the agency, ours included, have a lawyer read the contract before you sign it.
An agency that grows models does not need a cage to keep them. Seven years in, the average model has been with us over two — on a contract either of us could have ended in ninety days.
