Collaboration Starter Kit
Collaborations are exciting… until someone forgets what they agreed to, who owns the content, or how the profits are being split.
The Collaboration Starter Kit helps you set expectations and protect content from day one with a clear, professional legal foundation for your next collab. This bundle includes:
Collaboration Agreement;
Print Release;
and Model Release.
making it easy to define roles, contributions, usage rights, and content permissions before the project kicks off.
Whether you're teaming up for a campaign, content shoot, product collaboration, or creative project, this kit helps you stay protected, organised, and legally legit.
The Collaboration Starter Kit is the ultimate “let’s collab… but make it clear” legal bundle for business owners, creatives, and brands who want to collaborate confidently without the stress of misunderstandings, scope creep, or content disputes.
In the world of business, collaborations can be an incredible way to grow your audience, expand your reach, and create something exciting together, but they can also get messy fast if roles, responsibilities, payments, and content rights aren’t clearly agreed upfront.
This kit gives you the key documents you need to protect your collaboration from the start:
The Collaboration Agreement sets out the agreed terms between parties, including contributions, responsibilities, profit sharing, intellectual property, and what happens if things don’t go to plan.
The Print Release helps manage image usage permissions for commercial and promotional use.
The Model Release ensures you can legally use photography/video content that includes identifiable individuals (especially for marketing).
So whether you’re collaborating with another brand, shooting content together, launching a joint campaign, or building something exciting, this kit helps you stay clear, protected, and professional from day one.

IMPORTANT
Purchasing our fill in your blanks templates for you to customise and ensure they suit you and your business needs, utilising our free resources or having a chat with us as part of a consultation doesn’t create a lawyer-client relationship between you and Foundd Legal (sorry!). It also doesn’t constitute legal advice. Please consult with a lawyer for any questions.
We do offer templates for countries outside of Australia, you will see on the specific template page which country or countries the template is available for, just make your selection! Unfortunately at this time, we are only offering templates for the countries specified.
Our templates are however customisable for countries outside of Australia, and whilst they are a good base and potentially save you money getting something created from scratch, it would be prudent to have a lawyer in your country to review the template especially if you have any questions.
You get a single user licence and can re-use the templates you purchase as many times as you want for your own business needs! But keep in mind we’re a small business just like you, offering a service and we need more people like you to help us continue to grow - just like you! So from the bottom of our humble hearts, thank you for making a legit purchase and not sharing!
