Advertising Agency Agreement

An Advertising Agency Agreement governs creative and media services provided by an agency to a client. This playbook discusses ownership of deliverables, approval processes, and termination rights.

Advertising Compliance Requirements

Why This Matters: Non-compliance can result in fines, campaign shutdowns, and damage to brand reputation. Explicit requirements mitigate legal exposure and clarify accountability.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Client:

Ensure that the contract includes clear compliance obligations for the Agency, including indemnification clauses to protect against breaches.

If you're the Agency:

Negotiate for reasonable compliance requirements and ensure that indemnification obligations are fair and limited to direct breaches.

Essential elements

1

Compliance Obligations

Adherence to laws and standards.
2

Indemnification

Protection against legal breaches.
3

Approval Requirements

Obtain necessary regulatory clearances.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if compliance obligations are too broad or unclear.

EDIT

Reject clauses that impose unreasonable indemnification without limits.

ADD

Add language for jurisdiction-specific compliance if not present.

PRO TIP

Always consult with legal experts to ensure compliance with local advertising laws.
