How it works
Five steps, from the first message to the payout. Every deal follows the same path: no partnership without a contract, no payment without escrow.
- 01
Proposal
The brand proposes an amount, deliverables and dates. You negotiate, and every version is kept.
- 02
Signed contract
A contract compliant with French influencer law is generated, then signed online by both parties.
- 03
Escrow
The brand pays. The funds are held before the creator starts.
- 04
Deliverables
The creator submits proof: links, screenshots, stats. The brand approves within 7 days.
- 05
Payout
As soon as the brand approves the deliverables, the creator is paid. The contract is archived.
A contract is required, for every deal
Whatever the amount, every partnership comes with a contract. It includes the clauses required by French law no. 2023-451 on commercial influence: identity of the parties, deliverables, payment, the "Advertising" or "Commercial collaboration" label, intellectual property, duration, termination. It's signed electronically, with a signature compliant with the EU eIDAS regulation.
The money is secured before work starts
The brand pays at signature. The funds are held by our licensed payment provider and only paid to the creator once the deliverables are approved. If the brand doesn't answer within 7 days of the proof being submitted, the deliverables are approved automatically.
If you disagree
Either party can open a dispute before approval. The funds stay held while the Sponsquad team reviews the conversation, the contract and the proof, then makes a reasoned decision.
You talk on Sponsquad until signature
The built-in messaging keeps a record of the negotiation. Sharing an email, a phone number or a payment link before the contract triggers a warning: that's what protects both parties.
