In Perpetuity

Risk Level: High

A legal phrase meaning "forever". If you sign rights "in perpetuity", the brand owns your content until the end of time.

Why it matters for Creators

This is the #1 red flag for creators. It means the brand can use your face in ads 50 years from now without paying you another cent. Always negotiate a fixed term (e.g., 12 or 24 months).

Don't sign what you don't understand.
