T is for Third Party Payor
In this reel, I talk about third party payors.
Let’s say the father of the bride is footing the bill for your wedding photography services. Or a corporate sponsor is paying for your work with an influencer. They’re not your client, they’re not getting the service — but they are the one paying.
That's a third party payor. 💳
Here’s what questions might pop up for you in these situations:
➡️ Who is the actual client?
➡️ Who signs the contract?
➡️ What happens if they stop paying?.
If you’re working with parents, sponsors, partners, or anyone else paying on someone’s behalf, your agreement needs to protect you, your relationship with your real client, and your cash flow.
So you need a third party payor addendum.
Not sure if your contract covers third party payors properly? That’s exactly what I'm here for.
