Contracts
Scope, intellectual property terms, milestones and payment terms, in plain language, agreed before anyone starts working.
Trust infrastructure for creative collaboration in Africa
Creative work shouldn't live in DMs.
Contracts, intellectual property records and payment terms, agreed before the work starts and kept long after it ends.
Structure beneath the work
Intellectual property records
What was delivered, when, and on what terms. Every delivery is timestamped and logged in an append-only record.
Payment terms
Amounts, deadlines and splits written into the agreement. The creator confirms each payment on the record. We never hold the money.
How it works
From brief to handover
-
1 · Agree and sign
Scope, duration, channels, exclusivity, fee and deadlines. Both sides sign. Once signed, the terms are locked.
-
2 · Deliver the work
Upload what you've made against the agreement. Every file is timestamped, and the brand's approval goes on the record.
-
3 · Close the loop
The creator confirms payment on the record. The record stays available for six years after the agreement ends.
A record with no stake in the outcome
-
We never hold your money.
Payment goes brand to creator directly and never passes through us.
-
We never take a cut of a creator's fee.
Brands pay us for access. Creator accounts are free.
-
We don't sell placement.
Nobody pays to appear higher, and who you work with is your call.
-
We don't own anything you make.
The work is yours. We only hold the record of what you agreed.
For brands and agencies
Which of your campaign assets are you still allowed to run?
That photo from the shoot fourteen months ago, still on the homepage. The cutdown running on YouTube. The reel your agency reposted in March. Somebody agreed terms for each of those, in a thread nobody can find.
Every creator agreement you sign on Disambi records what you licensed, where you can run it, and the date it expires. You and the creator both get a reminder 90 days before it does.
When your client's legal team, an auditor or a donor asks you to prove the rights, the terms are on the record, signed and dated, not somewhere in WhatsApp.

The deal ends. The record doesn't.
Every agreement you sign here becomes something you keep: what you licensed, to whom, for how long, and whether it was paid. It sits in your account after the campaign is forgotten and after the brand's marketing manager has moved on.
You'll need it sooner than you think. When a client reuses your work past the term. When you file a return. When someone asks you to prove this is your income.
