FAQ · the fine print, in plain language
Questions, answered like clauses.
Short, honest answers. If yours isn't here, it will be — this page grows with the product.
§1What is FlowRights?
FlowRights is contract-to-royalty automation for the music industry. It’s the
place where a music deal is drafted, negotiated, and signed — and then keeps
going: the split terms you signed sync to Royalti.io for
royalty distribution. Generic e-signature tools stop at the signature; royalty
platforms start after the deal. FlowRights is the whole middle.
§2What does it cost? Is there a waitlist?
Sign-up is open today — no invite, no waitlist, and no credit card required to
create an account. Register at
app.flowrights.io/register and start your
first contract. We don’t publish a pricing page yet; when that changes, it will
be announced here first.
§3Is FlowRights legal advice?
No. FlowRights is software, not a law firm, and nothing in the product or on
this site is legal advice. Templates carry a counsel review gate (draft → in
review → changes requested → approved) precisely so your lawyer stays in the
loop, and the AI features are analysis tools — summaries, risk flags,
consistency checks — that sit alongside the document, never instead of your
counsel. For anything consequential, talk to a lawyer.
§4Can counterparties sign without a FlowRights account?
Yes. Anyone you’re dealing with can review and sign from a secure link — no
account required. Signatures can be typed, drawn, or uploaded, and every
signature is sealed with a SHA-256 tamper-evident fingerprint of the exact
terms signed. The public signing link is the only anonymous surface in the
product, and it’s rate-limited accordingly.
§5How do splits reach Royalti.io?
Automatically. A workspace admin connects Royalti.io once, by pasting a
workspace API key in Settings → Integrations (the key is encrypted at rest
with AES-256-GCM). From then on, when a contract goes active its split terms
push to Royalti.io on their own — no re-keying, no CSV exports. The sync is
best-effort by design: if it ever hiccups, the failure is recorded and
retryable, and the contract itself is never blocked.
§6What does the AI actually do?
FlowRights uses Anthropic’s Claude for analysis, named honestly: plain-language
contract summaries (what this deal is, money terms, what you’re giving up, key
dates, watch-outs), risk scoring, anomaly detection, consistency checks, and
split-fairness checks. Summaries are written for people without legal training.
The AI reads the fine print with you — it is not an “AI lawyer,” and its
output is not legal advice. AI features are optional: the platform works
without them.
§7What is the AI Rights Registry?
A per-work record of your catalog’s AI-training consent. For each work — sound
recording, composition, lyrics, performance, music video, or album — you can
record opted in, opted out, or conditional consent, attach ISRC/ISWC
codes, and note who it’s licensed to. Your music, your terms, in writing.
§8Is my data secure?
Security is layered through the product: TOTP two-factor authentication,
role-based access control across seven roles (admin, artist, manager, lawyer,
producer, publisher, label) with granular permissions, audit logs, and
SHA-256 tamper-evident fingerprints that make any change to signed contract
terms detectable. Integration credentials — like your Royalti.io workspace
key — are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM.
§9What kinds of music contracts does FlowRights handle?
Eleven contract types: producer, publishing, master recording, sync license,
distribution, work-for-hire, co-writing, 360, management, licensing — and
“other” for everything else. Templates support jurisdiction-scoped content
(Nigeria, US, UK, plus a generic base) with a counsel review gate before a
template is approved for use.
