UseRight was developed for professionals who wish to improve the process of managing usage rights & buyouts between Rights Users, Rights Holders and Agencies. Typical examples of Rights Holders are (Voice) Actors , models, influencers, writers and photographers. Rights Users may be brand advertisers, media companies or publishers. Agencies can be advertising or marketing agencies, model or influencer agencies, or literary agents. 

UseRight creates order & clarity in an otherwise chaotic environment. 

Rights Users are clear about which rights they may use, during which period and in which territories and channels; Rights holders know they will get their fair share and Agencies and intermediaries finally have one simple tool to manage it all.

Every UseRight license is free for the first 30 days, during which you can test all of the functionality included in your license. Our Essential license plan is free forever.

We offer both free and paid license plans, suitable for every type of user. Our paid plans start at EUR 200.- per year. Here is a pricing overview of all license plans.

UseRight was developed by Joris Barendregt from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. A seasoned online advertising & production professional, Joris understood how to improve the process of buying & managing usage rights between Rights Holders, Agencies and Advertisers.

Of course! We offer standard templates which cover most needs. But if your business requires specific contracts, you can upload and store them in UseRight.

UseRight was developed using the highest security standards. All data is stored in EU servers, on the AWS platform. All communication is encrypted. Personal data is not communicated outside of UseRight, making the application GDPR-proof. Access is secure, including 2-factor authentication.
