Free Podcast Producer
Service Agreement
Stop handing over your high-fidelity masters and polished show notes only to have the client vanish before the final invoice is settled.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a clause in your service agreement stating that the license to broadcast or distribute the audio is only granted once payment has been received in full.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Podcast Producer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I prevent a client from downloading my final edit and publishing it without paying me?
Using a digital escrow system ensures that your files are either locked or contain audible watermarks during the review phase, and the high-quality, clean versions are only released automatically once the client's payment is confirmed.
Will watermarking my audio files make the review process difficult for the client?
Not at all; an automated escrow platform allows the client to hear the quality of your work through a 'preview' file while protecting your intellectual property until the transaction is finalized.
What happens if a client needs the raw project files but hasn't paid the final milestone?
By utilizing an automated delivery system, you can upload all project assets—including multi-tracks and project files—to a secure vault that remains inaccessible to the client until the final payment is triggered.
