Welcome to the discussion on what should be included in a "model agreement" contract for a new platform aimed at independent cam models. This platform promises to revolutionize the industry by offering more control and ownership of content to the models themselves. Here's a summary of the key points and concerns raised:
- The proposed model agreement will ensure that any content uploaded by the models, including recordings of shows, will be fully owned by the models. The company will require explicit consent from the models to use their content outside of the platform.
- There's skepticism and concern about the legitimacy of the new platform, highlighting the importance of verification and trust in such ventures.
- The discussion includes critical feedback on existing practices in the industry and suggestions for what could be improved in the new model agreement, such as better revenue sharing, handling of chargebacks and refunds, and inclusivity of diverse models.
- Questions are raised about how the new platform will handle common issues like chargebacks and refunds, with a suggestion for the platform to cover these, except in cases where technical problems on the model's end are to blame.
- The importance of the percentage of revenue given to models and the platform's ability to generate traffic without significant out-of-pocket expenses for models is also discussed. Suggestions include offering a higher percentage of revenue to models and being open to working with a diverse range of models, not just those who fit traditional beauty standards.
This conversation is crucial for shaping a more equitable and model-friendly platform in the webcam industry. The input from experienced models will help in crafting a model agreement that addresses the current shortcomings of standard contracts and aligns with the needs and concerns of independent cam models.
