The Best Social Media Management Agreement
— So You’re Not Blamed for the Algorithm

A lawyer-crafted SMM contract that sets expectations, protects your workflow, and includes 13 disclaimers for algorithm shifts, platform glitches, reposts, UGC, and more.

Clients expect viral growth. Algorithms change. And somehow… you’re the one they blame.

This Social Media Management Agreement keeps that from happening.

It sets crystal-clear boundaries around your role, deliverables, client responsibilities, and what’s not within your scope.

With 13 built-in disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnities that protect you from blame for what’s (definitely) outside your control — like algorithms, platform updates, or what users do with the content — so you can do your job without being the scapegoat.

No legalese. Just a lawyer-crafted contract that makes your work clearer, easier, & keeps expectations realistic.

  • By purchasing a contract you are not entitled to email communication, calls, (virtual or physical) meetings, or any other type of communication with Selene the Lawyer and/or Selene Snippe.

    These reusable contracts do not include access to Selene the Lawyer and/or Selene Snippe or any legal advice or feedback, and these contracts are priced accordingly.
