For adult studios and performers signing contracts that allow AI replicas

A replica clause with no lawyer and no description is unenforceable.

Effigy keeps every digital-replica clause a studio has signed and shows which of Labor Code 927’s three conditions it meets: it lets a replica replace work done in person; it does not describe the intended uses reasonably specifically; and the performer had neither a lawyer whose terms they signed nor a union agreement covering replicas. All three, and the clause cannot be enforced.

The problem

The replica rights you bought may not be yours.

California Labor Code 927 makes a contract clause unenforceable, for any new performance fixed from January 1, 2025, when it allows a digital replica of the performer’s voice or likeness in place of work they would have done in person, does not describe the uses reasonably specifically, and the performer had neither counsel who negotiated it with signed terms nor a union agreement that covers replicas.

§ 927

a digital-replica clause for a new performance from January 1, 2025 is unenforceable when it meets the listed conditions.

Cal. Labor Code →

3 conditions

replaces in-person work, no specific description, and no counsel or union behind it.

Unenforceable

a clause meeting all three, whatever the contract says.

Will not let a clause hide which conditions it meets.

Each clause shows the three conditions lit when met. A clause meeting all three is a stop. A lawyer named but nothing signed or initialed, a union whose agreement says nothing about replicas, and “consistent with the original” with no reason written are each called out. A clause with no performer is refused. Clauses are retired, never deleted.

How it works

Clauses, conditions, the file

Record each clause

Performer, contract and section, when signed and when the performance was fixed.

Mark the conditions

In-person replacement, a specific description, and the counsel or union with the details that make them count.

Print the file

Every finding and every clause with its conditions, for counsel.

What it will never do

It keeps the register. It decides no case.

Effigy shows which conditions a clause meets. Whether it holds is a court’s call.

No contracts stored.The clause’s reference and conditions, not the document.

Nothing deleted.A clause is retired and stays on the record.

It is not a lawyer.Not legal advice.

It never touches a payment.The subscription is for software.

Questions

The ones we actually get asked

Does it apply to old shoots?

To new performances fixed from January 1, 2025. A 2024 shoot is outside the rule, and Effigy says so.

What makes a lawyer count?

Counsel who negotiated the replica rights, with the terms in a writing the performer signed or initialed.

What about a union?

Only one whose agreement expressly covers digital replicas.

Is this legal advice?

No. It is the register your counsel will ask for.

What do I actually get when I pay?

The demo on this page is the whole program, running on invented records. Paying gets you a licence key — one line of text, emailed to the address you give at checkout within two working days. Paste it into the program and from then on it keeps your own records. Until then, nothing you type into it is kept.

The key is checked inside the page, on your own machine. It never calls us, so there is still no account and nothing about your business goes anywhere. If you ever stop paying, your records stay exactly where they are, read-only, and Export still hands you every one of them.

The invented studio has one clause meeting all three conditions, one leaning on “consistent with the original” with no reason, one with a lawyer named but nothing signed, a 2024 shoot outside the rule, and one with no performance date.
