Upload the brand's contract and get back a risk-rated, plain-English review in under a minute - every clause checked against the terms you actually agreed.
Same contract in, same answer out. Not AI guesses, no hallucinations. Your contracts stay private - encrypted, isolated, never used to train anyone's AI.
Creators should create. Managers should hustle - careers, deals, revenue. CBA handles the contracts.
A single talent contract takes 3-5 hours of focused review. That's your most experienced person reading legalese every week, instead of growing the roster.
Unlimited paid usage. Uncapped exclusivity. Buried indemnities. Career-defining clauses, easy to miss at clause 11 of a 40-page doc.
Escalating to a legal professional costs £500-£2,000+ per contract - plus days of attention pulled from the job in hand. Many contracts never get escalated at all. That silence is where the risk lives.
Every review depends on who does it, how much time they have - or what mood the AI is in that day. No audit trail, no structured process, no way to compare deals over time.
Every other option for reviewing a talent contract has a structural flaw. Manual review burns hours. Generic AI hallucinates. Legal tech platforms cost six figures. CBA is purpose-built for the deals creators and their teams actually face.

Pre-agreed terms in. Contract in. A structured, risk-rated, plain-English summary out. Every flag is backed by a specific rule in our industry library, every result is reproducible, every decision is logged.
Log what you negotiated before the contract arrives. CBA automatically checks every clause against what was agreed, and flags where the brand has deviated.
Payment, usage, exclusivity, IP ownership, moral rights and more. Calibrated for the deals you actually face.
CBA flags clauses that should be present but aren't. What's missing from a contract is often more dangerous than what's in it.
Every clause translated into clear, jargon-free language. Understand what you're signing without needing a law degree.
Every deal is captured at creation: pre-agreed terms, contract history, risk scores, all in one place. Searchable, versioned, defensible.
Enter what you agreed: payment, usage, exclusivity, term.
Drop in the brand's contract (PDF or docx). CBA reads every clause and matches it against your terms and our clause library.
See what matches, what doesn't, and what's missing, in seconds. Every flag is colour-coded (green / amber / red) with a plain-English explanation.
Download a structured summary or redlined document. Escalate with confidence, or sign knowing exactly what you're agreeing to.
The review screen - illustrative mock-up.
A typical talent contract takes 3-5 hours of focused work: read, mark up, negotiate, sign off. Plus the days of back-and-forth in between. ContractBuddy compresses the focused work into minutes and accelerates the calendar time.
From upload to a risk-rated, plain-English summary with redline suggestions in under a minute.
Flag risk early, fix it in plain English, and avoid the solicitor invoice for issues that should never have reached them.
Active management, pitching, growing the roster. Three full working days back per month, every month.
Freed up for winning deals, not reading legalese. A conservative middle-case for a moderately busy talent manager - heavier loads scale linearly, and some users see 400+ hours back.
Every plan gets the same engine. Tier choice is about how many contracts you need each month, not which features you get.
Talent managers know talent managers. Creators know creators. Find a tool that saves hours per contract, and word travels.
Every paid subscriber gets a unique link from their account dashboard.
They sign up on any paid plan and complete their first month.
Credited automatically on both accounts. Stack as many as you like.
Generic AI guesses at legal conclusions. CBA doesn't guess. It matches every clause against a rule-based library built from real talent deals. Explainable results you can actually act on.
The CBA differenceCBA uses constrained matching logic and a curated clause library, not free-form AI generation. Results are explainable and auditable, not probabilistic guesses.
Our clause library is built from real talent contracts, covering payment, usage, exclusivity, IP and more. Calibrated for the deals creators and their teams actually face.
Your contract data is encrypted and isolated with row-level database security. Your talent's deals stay private. No data processed through shared public AI models.
Creators free up creative time. Junior managers gain independence. Senior managers reclaim their schedule. Whole agencies run structured, consistent reviews at a fraction of the cost of legal escalation.
Generic AI generates plausible-sounding text, and the same question can get a different answer tomorrow. CBA matches every clause against a rule-based library built from real talent deals - same contract in, same answer out, and every flag traceable to the specific rule and clause behind it.
The brand's contract, as a PDF or Word document. For the full check, add your pre-agreed terms - fee, usage, exclusivity, term - and CBA reconciles the paperwork against the deal you actually struck, clause by clause.
Yes. Your contracts are encrypted, isolated with row-level database security, and never used to train anyone's AI. Each customer's data sits in its own private environment, GDPR-ready.

No. Every clause comes back in plain English with a clear risk rating, so you can see what matters at a glance. And when something genuinely needs a professional, CBA says so - you escalate with a precise brief instead of a 40-page mystery, which is where the £500-£2,000 savings come from.
Tiers differ by monthly contract volume only - every plan runs the full engine, every feature included. Start where your volume sits, move tiers whenever it changes, and your founding rate stays locked in.
