Help · from zero to an active contract

Getting started, step by step.

Seven steps from a fresh account to a signed contract whose splits push to distribution on their own. Screenshots are the real product.

Step 1

Create your account

Registration is open — name, email, password. No credit card, no sales call. A personal workspace is created for you automatically, and if a collaborator invited you, accepting their invitation places you in their organization instead.

Working with a team? Invite members from Settings and give each person a role — artist, manager, lawyer, producer, publisher, label, or admin — with permissions to match.

Step 2

Follow the guided setup

Your first contract walks the same four beats the platform is built around: create, invite, sign, sync. Start from a pre-built music template or a blank contract — the setup can be skipped at any point and every step is available later from the app.

Step 3

Draft from a template and fill the placeholders

Eleven contract types ship out of the box — producer, publishing, master recording, sync license, distribution, work-for-hire, co-writing, 360, management, licensing, and other — with jurisdiction-scoped template content (Nigeria, US, UK, or generic) and a counsel review trail on every template.

Placeholders know what they are. Fill a name, a percentage, or a territory once in the fill panel and it lands everywhere it belongs — the clause text, the schedule, the split table.

Step 4

Negotiate in the document, not an inbox

Every clause carries its own comment thread, every edit lands in a tracked version, and every party sees the same document. When terms change, the redline is in the contract — not scattered across attachments.

Step 5

Route approvals and collect signatures

Approval workflows route the contract before it goes out. Signers can type, draw, or upload a signature — and counterparties sign from a secure link without creating an account. Every signature is sealed with a tamper-evident SHA-256 fingerprint of the exact terms signed, so any later change to the document is detectable.

Step 6

Treat splits as live data

The split schedule is not an appendix — it is structured data with a percentage and revenue type per party, validated to total 100% before the contract can go active.

Step 7

Connect Royalti.io once

A workspace admin pastes a Royalti.io workspace API key (RWAK_…) in Settings → Integrations — it is stored encrypted at rest. From then on, when a contract goes active its split terms push to Royalti.io automatically. The sync is best-effort by design: failures are recorded and retryable, and the contract itself is never blocked.

Good to know

AI analysis (optional)

Claude-powered summaries in plain language — what the deal is, the money terms, what you give up, key dates, watch-outs — plus risk scoring, anomaly flags, and split-fairness checks. Analysis sits alongside the document, never instead of it, and it is not legal advice.

Obligations & reminders

Deliverables and deadlines are tracked per contract, with due and overdue notifications so nothing slips after signing.

Security posture

TOTP two-factor authentication, role-based access with seven roles, audit logs, encrypted integration keys at rest, and rate-limited public endpoints.

Your catalog in the AI era

The AI Rights Registry records per-work AI-training consent — opted in, opted out, or conditional — with ISRC/ISWC codes attached.

Everyday tools

Global search, dashboard analytics, PDF export, Google Drive import, and API keys for programmatic access.
