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.

What 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.

What 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.

Can counterparties sign without a FlowRights account?

Yes. Anyone you’re dealing with can review and sign from a secure link, with 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.

How 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, with no re-keying and 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.

What 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. When you import an existing document, AI also detects its structure (parties, splits, deal terms, contract type) for you to confirm on a review screen; it never rewrites the contract text itself. 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.

What 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.

Is 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.

What 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.

Can I start from a contract I already have?

Yes. Upload a DOCX or a text-layer PDF from the new-contract flow and FlowRights parses it while AI detects the structure: parties, revenue splits with their percentages, deal terms, contract type, and jurisdiction, each with a confidence score. Nothing is created until you review: every detection traces to its source clause and can be confirmed or corrected, detected people are matched to workspace members or invited by email, and warnings (like splits that do not total 100%) surface first. The contract wording is never rewritten by AI; the imported text is preserved verbatim and kept with the original file as version 1. Scanned or image-only PDFs are not supported yet.
