Questions, answered

Is this legal advice?

No. Record Deal Opps is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. The analysis is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Always consult a licensed entertainment attorney before signing anything risky.

What kind of contracts can I analyze?

Recording agreements, management agreements, publishing deals, distribution agreements, and producer agreements. If it controls your music or your money, you can run it through.

How long does the analysis take?

Usually under a minute once payment is confirmed. Longer or more complex contracts can take a little more time.

Who sees my contract?

Only you. Your contract text is stored privately on your account so you can revisit your analysis. It is never sold, shared, or shown to anyone else.

Why only artists?

Because the other side of the table already has lawyers. This tool exists for the independent artist who is being asked to sign something they do not fully understand.
