Invoices & Exclusive Onboarding (TES → Brand)
At TES, we (the agency) invoice the brand for the total collaboration amount once a rate is confirmed. Invoices are sent from talents@tescreators.com or, for exclusive creators, from their @tescreators.com inbox.
- Invoice shows: Brand total, TES commission (20% exclusive / 15% non-exclusive), and creator payout (total − commission).
- Payment flow: Brand → TES → Creator (net of commission). TES does not withhold taxes.
- After signing (exclusive): You’ll trigger the email setup via info@tescreators.com and start managing the creator’s new inbox daily for opportunities.
TES sends the invoice after the rate is confirmed and before content delivery. The invoice is a formal request for the brand to pay the full collaboration amount to TES.
The invoice clarifies: who pays (brand to TES), what for (scope/deliverables), how much (brand total), and commission math (TES commission & creator payout).
Choose the two correct statements:
- From (Sender): talents@tescreators.com or creator’s @tescreators.com
- To (Recipient): Brand billing/campaign contact
- Creator Represented, Scope/Deliverables
- Brand Total, TES Commission (20%/15%), Creator Payout
- Payment Instructions (Pay TES via PayPal/ACH), Notes

Note: TES invoices the brand; once paid, TES pays the creator minus commission.
Once the brand pays TES, we deduct our commission and pay the creator the remainder. Keep the creator informed of timing; TES doesn’t withhold taxes.

When a creator agrees to go exclusive, duplicate the TES contract in Google Docs, personalize with their name/handle, and send for signature. After signing, tell them to expect an email with their new inbox setup instructions.
Which is correct?
After signature: message info@tescreators.com with the creator’s info and that they signed; the team sends setup instructions to the creator. Once finalized, we manage the new inbox daily for opportunities.
