Joint Production Agreement (template)
Fill in the “◯” blanks. Party A and Party B are the parties (real names and addresses go in the signature block). This is a general example, not legal advice.
Party A and Party B agree to jointly create the work described below (the "Work"). Content of the Work: ◯ Target completion: ◯ (date) Article 1 (Roles) Party A is responsible for ◯, and Party B for ◯. Article 2 (Costs) Production costs are borne by Party A and Party B in the ratio ◯ : ◯. Any expenditure above $◯ requires the other party's prior consent. Article 3 (Rights) Copyright in the Work is co-owned by the parties (shares ◯ : ◯). Publication, sale and secondary use of the Work require both parties' agreement. Article 4 (Revenue sharing) Revenue from the Work is distributed, after settling costs, in the ratio ◯ : ◯. Distribution is made within ◯ days of receiving the revenue. Article 5 (Stopping production) If either party can no longer continue, that party shall notify the other, and the parties will agree on settling the costs incurred and on what happens to the Work.
Create an agreement from this template
The creation screen opens with this template filled in. Every party verifies their identity by SMS or photo ID and signs, and the finalized agreement is kept.
Why keep it in Twosure instead of on paper or in a note
- Every party verifies their identity (SMS or photo ID) before signing, so it is harder to claim “I didn’t sign that”.
- Once finalized, it cannot be changed through the app. Share the verification link and a third party can check the content too.
- You don’t have to meet in person: it takes about 5 minutes on a phone.
