Open your agreement before you message anyone. Copy four things from the termination clause into your own notes: the notice period, how notice has to be delivered, the date the exit takes effect, and any fee on money that lands after that date. Creator guides report notice periods of 30 to 90 days. Delivery usually means written notice to a named email address, and a text to your account manager may not count. Note whether it renews on its own.
In writing, dated, by the method the contract names. Email is the easiest to prove.
- Say you are giving notice under the clause number, and name both parties.
- State the effective date.
- Ask the agency to stop activity on your accounts by that date, remove its team and tools, return your files and send a final statement.
- Ask for confirmation of receipt.
Leave grievances out, or the reply will be about the grievances instead of the date. Save the notice and the sent record somewhere the agency cannot reach. If nothing comes back in two days, send a follow-up.
Most agreements require you to keep providing access until the effective date. Locking the agency out early can put you in breach and hands them a reason to hold the final payment. Leave it in place and plan the handback for the effective date.
Two things override that. Safety, meaning a threat, a doxxing attempt or content going out that you did not approve. And money moving, meaning a payout method or payout request you do not recognise. Protect the account first, then tell the agency in writing.
One sitting, on a device you own, in this order.
- Email. Change the password on the inbox attached to the account and remove recovery addresses and forwarding rules you did not set.
- Password. Change the OnlyFans password in Account Settings.
- Sessions. Open Login sessions, screenshot the list, then close every session except your own.
- Two-step authentication. Reset it and generate new backup codes. The old codes stop working.
- Phone and connected sign-ins. Replace any number that is not yours and disconnect any Google or X login the agency controls.
- Payout method. Open Banking and confirm the destination is yours.
- Queued posts. Clear anything the agency scheduled, including mass messages, or it still goes out under your name.
- Team access. Remove every agency account.
- Vault handback. Confirm each folder is still there before anything is moved. Removing vault items is permanent.
- Outside tools. Ask any chat vendor to disconnect your account and confirm it in writing.
Reconcile it against the Statements page in your own account, not the agency's report, with the effective date as the cut-off. Check whether the fee is on gross or on what reaches you after the platform's share. New earnings sit in a pending balance for about a week, so some may still be pending on the effective date. Raise any dispute in writing before you pay.
This is general information, not legal advice. Get a lawyer in your jurisdiction when the agency claims ownership of your content or says it will keep using your likeness, when an exit fee is large enough to change your month, or when a restraint tries to stop you working with another agency. Creator guides report that fees tied to projected rather than real earnings are hard to enforce. Whether that holds for your contract is a question for your lawyer.

QUESTIONS
Read the termination clause, give written notice by the method it names, keep access open until the effective date unless there is a safety or money problem, then run the exit-day security checklist.
A contract with a notice period lets you leave by giving that notice. Send it in writing and keep the proof. If the agency ignores it, holds your logins or says it will keep your content, document everything and get a lawyer in your jurisdiction.
Usually no. Most agreements require access until the effective date, and cutting it early can be a breach. The two exceptions are a safety risk and money moving where it should not.
You can talk to the next agency at any time. Sign nothing that starts before your current effective date, and check your contract for an exclusivity clause. Showgirl reads every application.
