For brands, agencies and teams

Can I lock contract terms so they can’t be negotiated?

Short answer

Treat a fixed term as an instruction to review, not an automatic lock.

Handling a non-negotiable term

  1. State the required term clearly in your outreach, negotiation, or template.
  2. Tell the other side which term needs to stay unchanged.
  3. Check their response.
  4. Review the draft contract before finalizing.

Use your team’s approval process for exceptions. Do not assume a written instruction prevents someone from proposing a different value.

A question about your deal?

Rates, dates, the brief or payment: ask the brand or agency that sent the deal. They wrote the terms.
