ShootRights Venue Agreement Manager
A lightweight SaaS that helps photographers intake venue contracts, detect clause conflicts against the photographer’s standard terms, and generate a negotiation-ready addendum and email packet. It also maintains a venue clause database so photographers can pre-screen venues and avoid surprises before booking. The system focuses on structured clause checklists and template logic (not AI generation) to keep it predictable and defensible.

ShootRights Venue Agreement Manager
A lightweight SaaS that helps photographers intake venue contracts, detect clause conflicts against the photographer’s standard terms, and generate a negotiation-ready addendum and email packet. It also maintains a venue clause database so photographers can pre-screen venues and avoid surprises before booking. The system focuses on structured clause checklists and template logic (not AI generation) to keep it predictable and defensible.
Target customer
Independent wedding photographers and small studios (1–10 photographers) who regularly work at third-party venues and need consistent rights/usage terms for portfolio marketing and client delivery.
Problem-solution fit
Photographers need to protect copyright/portfolio usage and avoid conflicts between venue paperwork and client contracts; doing this manually is stressful and error-prone right before events. The product standardizes intake, identifies common high-risk clauses (ownership transfer, publication bans, approval requirements), and outputs a clear counter-proposal package plus a record trail to reduce last-minute disputes.
