Rights buried in contracts, surfaced instantly.

Content deals, licensing agreements, and talent contracts define your revenue — but the key terms are buried in hundreds of pages. Missed windows, expired rights, and unclaimed royalties cost media companies millions every year. fluex extracts what matters from every agreement.

The challenge

A catalogue of rights is only as good as your ability to track them.

Rights window tracking at catalogue scale

A catalogue of hundreds of titles has rights agreements expiring at different dates across territories. Manual tracking in spreadsheets misses windows — and missed windows mean lost licensing revenue.

Residual and royalty clause extraction

Calculating royalty obligations requires extracting complex tiered rate structures from deal memos and distribution agreements — work that takes lawyers hours and still produces errors.

Counterparty obligation monitoring

Talent agreements include delivery obligations, approval rights, and exclusivity periods that trigger future payments or penalties. None of these surface unless someone reads every page.

How fluex helps

Every right extracted. Every window tracked.

fluex reads content licensing agreements, distribution deals, and talent contracts — returning rights windows, royalty schedules, and obligation dates as structured data that feeds directly into your rights management system.

  • Rights window extraction — effective dates, territory scopes, media channels, and expiry dates extracted from every agreement into a unified rights record.
  • Royalty schedule parsing — tiered rate structures extracted as nested JSON: rates, thresholds, territories, and collection periods — ready for royalty calculation engines.
  • Expiry alert integration — extracted dates push to calendar integrations and alerting systems so windows are never missed and renewals are proactively managed.
  • Obligation and penalty tagging — counterparty obligations, approval triggers, and penalty clauses tagged and indexed so your team can search and monitor across the full catalogue.

Missed window dates and unclaimed royalties cost media companies millions per year. fluex's media configuration extracts every revenue-relevant clause from your contract corpus, surfacing the rights you can monetize and the obligations you need to track.

Rights extraction

Territory, term, exclusivity, media windows (theatrical, SVOD, AVOD, FAST, broadcast), language rights — extracted as structured rights records ready for catalog operations.

Royalty schedule parsing

Royalty rates, recoupment thresholds, escalation triggers, accounting periods — normalized across deal templates so finance teams aren't re-reading every contract every quarter.

Talent contract clauses

Holds, options, exclusivity, kill fees, marketing-services obligations, residuals — surfaced into your talent-management system with deadline-aware alerts.

Catalog migration

FAQ

Common questions.

How accurate is rights extraction on dense contracts?
98%+ on standard deal templates after a brief calibration pass on a customer's deal corpus. Non-standard clauses go to the exception queue with the relevant section highlighted; typical resolution is under a minute by a contracts team member.
Can fluex handle talent agreements with side letters?
Yes. The system parses the main agreement plus side letters, amendments, and option exercises, presenting a unified view of the current state of the relationship. Effective-date logic is preserved so historical states are queryable.
What about contracts in other languages?
Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, and Italian are first-class. Other languages are supported via a multilingual extraction layer with reduced confidence — review queue is recommended for non-English contracts.
Can we backfill our entire catalog?
Yes — most customers do. A 10,000-contract catalog typically processes in 3-5 business days. Each contract produces a structured rights record plus a confidence score per field; low-confidence fields route to your contracts team for review.
How does fluex handle royalty calculation?
fluex extracts the royalty schedule (rate, recoupment, accounting period, reporting frequency). Calculation runs in your downstream royalty system; fluex provides clean structured input. We integrate with Counterpoint, Vistex, and custom royalty engines.
