UGC Revision Policy Template
A UGC revision policy states how many rounds are included (usually one), the window to request them, what extra rounds cost, and — importantly — that a new concept or added deliverable counts as new work, not a revision. This free template gives you that policy in a few sentences you can paste into any pitch or contract.
REVISION POLICY Include this in a pitch, brief reply, or contract so revisions are agreed before work starts — not negotiated after a brand asks for a fourth round. - This project includes [1] round of revisions, covering changes to the agreed brief (pacing, wording, minor edits to the existing concept). - Revision requests must be sent within [3 business days] of delivery. - Additional rounds beyond the included one are $[amount] per round. - A request for a NEW concept, script, or deliverable — not a revision of the existing one — is treated as new work and quoted separately. - Revisions are for the agreed brief. Scope changes (new must-says, a different platform, a longer cut) are handled as an add-on, not a free revision. Why this matters: an open-ended "just a couple tweaks" invites unlimited redo requests. Naming the number up front makes it easy to say "that's an add-on" — without it feeling like a confrontation.
Inside Plug, a revision policy attaches to the real contract on the deal — so 'that's an add-on' has a written agreement behind it, not just an email.
How do I write a UGC revision policy?
One is standard — name it up front, not after the third ask.
A flat fee per round beyond what's included.
A new concept is new work, priced separately.
FAQ
How many revisions should a UGC contract include?
One included round is standard, with additional rounds charged per round. This template gives you the exact wording to set that expectation up front.
What's the difference between a revision and new work?
A revision adjusts the agreed brief (pacing, wording, minor edits). A new concept, script, or deliverable is new work and should be quoted separately — this policy states that explicitly.
How do I bring up a revision limit without sounding difficult?
Include it in your pitch or brief reply before work starts, framed as a standard policy rather than a rule aimed at them — it reads as professional, not defensive.
