Recoupable Expenses for Revenue Share Agreements

Creators and labels often enter into revenue share agreements where one party covers upfront costs (e.g., music video production, photography, marketing, artwork, or other project expenses). Currently, revenue shares are distributed immediately according to the agreed split, making it difficult to recover those initial investments before payouts begin.

Proposed Solution: Allow users to attach one or more recoupable expenses to a revenue share agreement. Revenue generated from the sales would first be applied toward recovering these costs before any payouts are distributed according to the agreed revenue split. Once the recoupable balance has been fully recovered, distributions would automatically revert to the standard revenue share percentages, with all parties able to track the remaining recoupable balance and recoupment progress.
