Scary Words, Made Simple.

Commissionable Revenue Money Article I; Section 5.1

Basically everything you earn while working with WLDCRD counts: brand deals, sponsorships, royalties, licensing, equity, even gifts or barter of real value.

Defined broadly and intentionally, with one twist depending on where you are in the relationship. During recoupment, it's everything you earn, whether WLDCRD had a hand in it or not. Once you're fully recouped, it narrows to only income from deals WLDCRD actually introduced, sourced, or materially advanced, including renewals of those deals. Money you land entirely on your own after full recoupment isn't commissionable. Publishing income runs under its own Co-Publishing terms instead.

Commission Money Section 5.1

20% of your Commissionable Revenue above the Recoupment Threshold. It's the same percentage throughout; it doesn't step down to a lower rate once you're recouped.

Outstanding Balance Money Article I

The running total of everything WLDCRD has put into building your business: sponsorship payments, development costs, marketing, travel, production, and the allocated value of WLDCRD's own time and methodology.

Recoupment Threshold Money Section 5.1, 5.2; Exhibit A

The monthly revenue floor set in your Statement of Work. Commission only kicks in on the portion of your Commissionable Revenue above this number, and only in months you clear it. Below it, you owe nothing that month.

Recoupment Money Section 5.5

Paying down your Outstanding Balance from your own commission earnings. WLDCRD sends a statement every month showing the balance, what got paid down, and what's left.

This obligation doesn't depend on the relationship staying active. If you leave before you're recouped, WLDCRD can still deduct commission from your revenue until the balance hits zero, and can pursue legal remedies, including attorney's fees, if you don't cooperate.

Kill Switch Money Section 5.3

If WLDCRD has been contributing the full $1,330/month for 18 straight months and your Commissionable Revenue still hasn't cleared the Recoupment Threshold, WLDCRD can end the agreement with 30 days' notice.

If that happens, your entire Outstanding Balance is wiped, WLDCRD can't come after you for it. Your Co-Publishing Interest and any commission on WLDCRD already earned the right to collect still survive, in perpetuity.

Hardship Event Money Section 5.4

If you pass away, your Outstanding Balance is wiped automatically. If you're going through something serious and you and WLDCRD can't agree on how to resume within 60 days of it ending, either side can walk away and your balance is forgiven in full.

If something serious happens—illness, injury, a mental health crisis, or something comparable—tell WLDCRD in writing within 14 days. Once accepted, your payments, commission, and the Kill Switch clock all pause, and your Outstanding Balance freezes; it doesn't grow while you're dealing with it.

Cross-Collateralization Money Section 13.13

Every cost that makes up your Outstanding Balance can be recouped from any revenue stream you have. It's not siloed by project or income type.

Accounting & Audit Rights Money Section 5.7

You send WLDCRD a monthly accounting of your Commissionable Revenue, due the 15th. WLDCRD can audit your books once a year with 10 business days' notice, at WLDCRD's own expense, unless the audit finds you underpaid by 5% or more.

Term & Renewal Time Section 3.1, 3.2

Your Initial Term is 6 months. After that, it rolls month-to-month automatically. Either side can end the month-to-month arrangement with 30 days' written notice, any time, no reason required.

Six Month Performance Gate Time Section 11.4

At the end of your 6-month Initial Term, you and WLDCRD do a formal review together. Either side then has a 14-day window to elect to exit, no cause needed.

If you exit here, your Outstanding Balance is forgiven in full. Your Co-Publishing Interest survives forever, and WLDCRD keeps its 20% on any deals it has already sourced or introduced, including renewals of those deals, forever.

Exclusivity Time Section 4.1, 4.2

While under this agreement, WLDCRD is your sole rep across entertainment, content, athletic, brand, and business activities. You can't bring on anyone else doing similar work without WLDCRD's written OK.

You can still keep your own lawyer, accountant, or publicist. We just ask that you notify WLDCRD in writing within 5 business days of engaging them, and that what they do doesn't overlap with what WLDCRD is already doing for you.

Disclosure Obligation Time Section 4.3

If anyone approaches you directly, outside of WLDCRD, with an offer, inquiry, or opportunity that could count as Commissionable Revenue, you need to tell WLDCRD in writing within 48 hours. Keeps everything transparent on both sides.

Key Person Clause Time Section 13.9

This agreement exists because of Tarra Stubbins' direct involvement in the company itself. If she stops being actively involved in the day-to-day operations, you can walk with 30 days' written notice.

Termination Time Section 11.1, 11.2

After your Initial Term, either side can walk away for any reason with 30 days' written notice. If someone seriously breaches the agreement, the other side can end it faster: 30 days to fix the problem, then it's over.

Confidentiality Rights Article IX

Anything non-public shared between you and WLDCRD—financial, strategic, personal—always stays private. This runs both directions.

Limitation of Liability Rights Article X

If something goes wrong on WLDCRD's end, WLDCRD's financial responsibility to you is capped and specifically excludes things like lost profits or lost business opportunities.

Independent Contractor Status Rights Section 13.2

You're not a WLDCRD employee. No benefits, no employment protections, no partnership or agency relationship. You and WLDCRD work together as independent parties.

Dispute Resolution Rights Article XII

If there's ever a serious disagreement, it doesn't go to court; it goes to binding arbitration in Nashville. Whoever loses pays the winner's attorney fees.

Intellectual Property Rights Article VII

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 side stays WLDCRD's.

Morality & Conduct Rights Section 13.14

Standard industry language giving either side an out if conduct seriously damages the brand or working relationship. It's mutual protection; it benefits both you and WLDCRD.

WLDCRD Performance Obligations Rights Section 13.11

This one runs the other way—it's what WLDCRD owes you. At minimum: one strategy call every month, active work registering and pitching your catalog, a written monthly report by the 15th, and a full quarterly review.

Music Management Services Music Section 2.1

The actual day-to-day of what WLDCRD does for you as your manager: career strategy and positioning, release planning and project oversight, deal negotiation and contract review, label, distributor, and publishing introductions, sync licensing pitching, PRO registration oversight, and content strategy guidance.

Touring & Booking Music Section 2.1

WLDCRD helps with touring strategy and stays in contact with booking agents, promoters, and venues on your behalf.

WLDCRD does not hold a booking license and does not book engagements directly. If you need an actual booking agent, that's a separate relationship; WLDCRD's role here is strategy and liaison.

Co-Publishing Interest Music Section 5.6

WLDCRD holds a permanent, irrevocable 50% interest in the publishing of every song you write during the Term, with mechanical, performance, sync, and print royalties all included. You keep the other 50% writer's share.

This vests the moment a song is written. Songs you wrote before signing with WLDCRD aren't included unless you choose to add them in writing.

Split Sheet Requirement Music Section 5.6(e)

For every song you write during the Term, you agree to sign a co-publishing split sheet within 14 days of writing it. That split sheet gets registered with the applicable PRO.

Publishing Administration Music Section 5.6; Section 13.11

WLDCRD acts as your publisher for songs made during the relationship: registering them with PROs, collecting mechanical royalties through the MLC, managing YouTube Content ID and other digital monetization, and chasing sync opportunities.

Re-record Restriction Music Section 13.10

You can't re-record or reproduce any song WLDCRD holds a publishing interest in in a way that competes with or diminishes the value of the original for 5 years after the relationship ends.
