Every touring act knows the rider: the unglamorous page that says what the venue must provide before anyone plugs in. Collaborations between creators need the same instrument. Not because anyone expects a fight — because memory is a terrible contract, and the time to discover you meant different things by “use my face” is before the shoot, not after the content is selling.
Clause one: the uses
Name the formats in plain words: stills, clips, or both; which platforms; whether the material can headline paid content or only promote it. “Use” is not one permission — it is a bundle, and the rider unbundles it line by line so each use is agreed, not assumed.
Clause two: the transformations
AI stages transform. The rider must say which transformations are in bounds — edits, face swaps, undress transformations — each named explicitly. Silence is not consent to a transformation; if a new one gets invented mid-tour, it gets its own written yes before it runs.
Clause three: the term
How long the permission runs, and what happens when it ends: does published material stay up, come down, or stop being sold while remaining visible? Decide it while everyone is friends. Add the review date to the calendar the day the rider is signed.
Clause four: the withdrawal
Either side can end it — so write down what ending looks like: notice period, takedown timeline, and what happens to jointly made content. A withdrawal clause that cannot actually be executed is decoration. The real one is boring, specific and short.
Keep the rider with the show
File the signed rider in the same folder as the content it covers, next to the billing blocks and the deliverables. MegaBio’s rules will ask for documentation when consent is questioned — the creators who thrive here are the ones who can produce the page in thirty seconds and get back to the show.
