Six things worth checking in a co-branding agreement

The brand license, both ways.

Check exactly how each side may use the other's name and logo, and who approves the result.

If a partner is sold.

Change-of-control clauses can let the other side exit or renegotiate. Check what triggers them.

Liability without a ceiling.

Check which claims fall outside the cap — brand damage, IP and data are common.

A non-compete on similar products.

Look at whether you may launch similar products alone or with another brand.

Quality standards.

Check who sets them and what happens if a product misses them.

After the partnership.

Check sell-off periods for co-branded stock and when each side must stop using the other's brand.

What co-branding agreements in a public contract dataset contain

We counted clauses in the 22 co-branding agreements among 510 public-company commercial contracts from the CUAD dataset (The Atticus Project, CC BY 4.0). These are larger-company deals, not a sample of every co-branding agreement — use them as a reference point, not a rule.

Stands out

  • A license grant: 19 of 22 (86.4%) — across all 510 contracts: 50.0%.
  • A change-of-control clause: 13 of 22 (59.1%) — across all 510 contracts: 23.7%.
  • Liability left uncapped for some breaches: 12 of 22 (54.5%) — across all 510 contracts: 21.8%.

An insurance requirement1 (4.5%)166 (32.5%)

In this set, co-branding agreements granted licenses, carried change-of-control clauses and left some liability uncapped far more often than the average contract — what happens to the brand if things change is the core risk.

Small sample: with 22 contracts, one contract moves a percentage by about 4.5 points. A clause being rare here is not a reason to leave it out of yours.

Questions people ask

Is the co-branding agreement review free?

Yes — your first analysis is free for good, one contract per account, no card. You get the risk score and every finding by name, with the two most important explained in full. The rest are listed but locked until you unlock the report for $9 or start a plan.

Is co-branding the same as a license?

It usually contains licenses running both ways, plus terms about the joint product. The analysis reads both parts.

Can a small brand use this before partnering with a bigger one?

Yes. The findings show which terms lean toward the other side, so you know what to ask about.

Is my co-branding agreement private?

It is private to your account and is never used to train models. Uploaded files are deleted after 30 days. From 30 September 2026, your report stays in your account until you delete it.
