Kickstarter/Indiegogo Consulting Agreement Template

What Is the Kickstarter/Indiegogo Consulting Agreement?

This contract establishes the legal framework between a campaign creator and a crowdfunding consultant providing strategic advice for Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or similar platforms. It defines exactly what consulting services the expert will provide, from campaign strategy development and reward tier analysis to marketing recommendations and ongoing performance consultation. You'll set clear expectations about whether the consultant delivers written strategy documents, conducts consultation sessions, or provides both.

The agreement addresses the unique risks of consulting relationships where success isn't guaranteed. You'll choose payment structures that align with your budget and risk tolerance, whether fixed project fees, hourly rates, monthly retainers, or success-based bonuses tied to funds raised. Most importantly, you'll establish clear provisions confirming the consultant provides advice but doesn't guarantee campaign results, protecting both parties from disputes when market conditions or execution challenges prevent campaigns from reaching funding goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this template multiple times?

Yes. Use it with different crowdfunding consultants for multiple campaigns. You're purchasing the template with unlimited reuse rights, not a single-use license.

Is this contract legally binding?

Yes. This template contains the same legal provisions attorneys draft in custom consulting agreements. Courts and businesses accept properly executed contracts based on this template.

Does this protect me if the campaign fails despite following the consultant's advice?

Yes. The No Guarantee of Results article explicitly establishes that consultants provide advice but don't guarantee campaign success. This prevents lawsuits claiming the consultant is liable for poor campaign performance.

What's the difference between this and a campaign management agreement?

Consultants provide strategic advice while you or your team execute. Campaign managers handle execution directly, including content creation, ad management, and daily operations. This template is for advisory relationships only.

Can I structure payment based on campaign success?

Yes. The Compensation and Payment Terms article includes a success-based bonus option where consultants earn a percentage of funds raised. You can use this alone or combined with base fees.

Who owns the strategy documents the consultant creates?

You own all custom deliverables created specifically for your campaign. The consultant retains ownership of general frameworks, templates, and methodologies they use across clients, but you get a license to use them for your campaign.
