  • Grant timestamp — Exact date and time rights were granted — no ambiguity.
  • Scope documentation — Exactly which rights, territories, and terms were granted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know.

What should a content licence agreement include?

A content licence should include: licensed works (clear description), grant of rights (usage type, territory, exclusivity, media channels), term and renewal provisions, licence fee and payment, attribution requirements, moral rights (if applicable), and termination provisions.

Can music synchronisation licences be executed via e-signature?

Yes. Music sync licences — grants from both the master rights holder and music publisher — can be executed via Zignature. Multi-party signing handles both the master and sync grant in the same signing flow.

How do I track when content licences expire across a large catalogue?

Set licence expiry dates in Zignature. Automated alerts fire at configurable intervals before expiry — ensuring renewal discussions begin before inadvertent rights violations occur.

Can I use Zignature for stock photography licence agreements?

Yes. Individual image licence agreements, bulk image licence agreements, and image licence amendments can all be executed via Zignature — providing stronger protection than typical stock library click-through licences.

How do I handle content licence amendments when usage scope expands?

Create a licence amendment template that references the original licence and specifies the expanded rights, additional territory, or extended term. The rights holder signs the amendment — the original licence and all amendments form the complete licence agreement.

Does Zignature support content licensing for podcast and audio content?

Yes. Podcast licensing agreements — syndication rights, episode usage, music licensing for podcast background — can all be executed via Zignature. Include specific podcast platform and territory provisions in your audio licence templates.
