What it is
A one-page variation letter that sits on top of a signed influencer agreement. It extends the usage period or expands the usage rights – switching on paid ads, boosting, or new channels – in exchange for an additional fee. It uses the same defined terms as the original Social Law Docs influencer agreement, so it slots straight in, and everything else in the original agreement continues unchanged.
What's inside
- •Original agreement details: the parties, the date, and the content the variation covers.
- •The variation options: extend the organic usage period, extend paid ads and boosting, expand the channels, or switch on paid ads and boosting – complete only what applies.
- •Additional fee, GST, tax and super: the extra fee, on the same GST, PAYG and superannuation basis as the original.
- •Everything else unchanged: confirmation that all other terms of the original agreement continue, plus signature blocks.
How easy it is to use
- •Fill in the shaded fields – the original agreement details, the changes you want, and the additional fee. Prompts guide each field.
- •No legal drafting required. It's a short letter that varies the agreement you already have.
- •Electronic signing supported. Reuse it each time you extend or expand usage.
