WELCOME TO THE CODEX
For creators, coders, and studios who shape new worlds.
The Clause Codex is a curated library of legally-sound, creator-focused agreements crafted by a privacy and IP attorney who understands the technology, the craft, and the chaos of modern creation.
How the Codex Helps You Work
- Clear obligations and rights for collaborations and partnerships
- Professional-grade policies for your site, game, or community
- Modular clauses to strengthen agreements you already use
- Enforcement tools that protect your work when someone crosses a line
- Licensing structures that keep your ownership intact
- Waivers that set expectations and reduce future disputes
Each template includes guidance, fill-in prompts, and practical notes so you always understand what you are signing and why the terms matter.
When You Need Something Tailored
If your project requires a fit that goes beyond a template, you can always summon a consult for custom drafting or full review. The Codex pairs beautifully with personalized legal support when your world becomes more complex.

The Codex is a curated library of strategic templates designed for creators, studios, and platforms who want clarity, protection, and control. Every document in this library is built for real creative work. No generic boilerplate or corporate padding. Just clean, enforceable language shaped by the realities of digital creation.

RITES
Preliminary Rites for Entering Binding Agreements
Before a collaboration becomes an obligation, before goodwill turns into confusion, before a promise is mistaken for protection. These Rites are designed as practical resources, short guides meant to help creators, developers, and artists ask the right questions early. They do not replace counsel, contracts, or judgment. Only to surface risk, clarify expectations, and give structure to conversations that too often rely on trust alone.
