WLDCRD Creator Track
Skip the bullshit.
Your plain-language guide to the terms inside your WLDCRD agreement, so you know exactly what you signed, why it's there, and what it means for you.
Before you read your contract
Legal agreements are written by lawyers, for lawyers. That's not a knock on lawyers; it's just true, and it means the version you signed is full of language that protects you but doesn't always read like it was written for you.
Before you dive into the full agreement, we built this: a plain-English walkthrough of every term you're likely to hit, what it actually means, and why it's structured that way.
This is your first look at how WLDCRD operates: we are fully transparent with everything we do with you.
Before section one
Exactly what WLDCRD puts in monthly, exactly what we take as commission, and exactly how our investment gets paid back.
Your commission rate is set by where you enter: 25% → 15% at the 90% Onboarding Window, or 20% → 15% at the 60% Growth Window. It drops once, permanently, to 15% when your Outstanding Balance reaches zero.
Section One: The Money Part
How revenue is defined, how it moves, and what WLDCRD takes.
Basically everything you earn while working with WLDCRD counts: brand deals, sponsorships, royalties, licensing, equity, and even gifts or barter of real value. This is the number your commission is calculated from.
Publishing income is the only carve-out; it runs under its own Co-Publishing terms.
The percentage WLDCRD earns on Commissionable Revenue. It is set the day you sign, based on your Sponsorship Window: 25% if you enter at 90% onboarding, or 20% if you enter at 60% growth. Both drop once to 15%, permanently, after you are recouped.
The running total of everything WLDCRD has put into building your business, including sponsorship payments, development costs, marketing, travel, production, and the allocated value of WLDCRD's time and methodology.
The phased schedule that ramps up to WLDCRD's full monthly investment: 90% of the base rate for months 1–3, 60% for months 4–6, and the full rate from month 7.
Paying down the Outstanding Balance from your own commission earnings. WLDCRD sends a statement every month showing the balance, what got paid down, and what is left.
If you leave before you are recouped, WLDCRD can still deduct commission from your revenue until the balance reaches zero.
Commission does not stop the day you leave. For 12 months after termination, WLDCRD still earns 10% of everything you make. On sponsorship deals WLDCRD originally sourced, WLDCRD earns 10% forever, including renewals with that brand.
Every cost that makes up your Outstanding Balance can be recouped from any revenue stream you have. It is not siloed by project or by the deal that generated the revenue.
You send WLDCRD a monthly accounting of your Commissionable Revenue. WLDCRD can audit your books once a year with 10 business days' notice, at its own expense, unless the audit finds you underpaid by 5% or more.
Section Two: How Long Am I Locked In
How long this runs, how exclusive it is, and how it can end.
Your Initial Term is 3 months. After that, it auto-renews every 3 months unless either side gives written notice at least 21 days before renewal.
While under this agreement, WLDCRD is your sole rep across entertainment, content, athletic, brand, and business activities. You cannot bring on anyone else doing similar work without WLDCRD's written OK.
You can still keep your own lawyer, accountant, or publicist, as long as you notify WLDCRD in writing within 5 business days of engaging them.
Moving from Tier 1 to Tier 2 is entirely WLDCRD's call, not a checklist you complete. WLDCRD is not obligated to upgrade you or explain its reasoning.
This agreement exists because of Tarra Stubbins' direct involvement in the company. If she stops being actively involved in the day-to-day operations, you can walk with 30 days' written notice.
After your Initial Term, either side can walk away for any reason with 60 days' written notice. If someone seriously breaches the agreement, the other side can end it faster with 30 days to fix the problem.
Section Three: WLDCRD Protecting You
The parts of the contract that show up if something goes sideways. This is protection for both WLDCRD and you.
Anything non-public shared between you and WLDCRD—financial, strategic, or personal—stays private. This runs both directions.
If something goes wrong on WLDCRD's end, WLDCRD's financial responsibility to you is capped and specifically excludes lost profits or lost business opportunities.
You are not a WLDCRD employee. There are no benefits, employment protections, partnership, or agency relationship. You and WLDCRD work together as independent parties.
If there is a serious disagreement, it does not go to court; it goes to binding arbitration in Nashville. Whoever loses pays the winner's attorney fees.
Anything you owned before WLDCRD stays 100% yours. The Wild Methodology stays 100% WLDCRD's. Work built together on your personal brand identity is yours; the underlying process and systems remain WLDCRD's.
Standard industry language giving either side an out if conduct seriously damages the brand or the working relationship. It is mutual protection for both sides.
The last thing
Our promise to you is that in every statement, every update, and every check-in, we'll keep using this same plain language.
What if I still don't understand something after reading this?
Ask. This is meant to be a conversation together.
Should I have my own lawyer look at this?
Yes. We always recommend independent counsel review your agreement before you sign.
Does this guide change anything in my actual contract?
No. This is a translation layer, not a legal document. Your signed agreement is always the final word.
