Built For The Dilemma Every Newsroom Faces

When journalists and producers want to use third-party content, they often face an uncomfortable choice:

Option A
Reach out to license
Reveals your outlet and story intent
May inflate pricing based on identity
May make a legal claim more likely if no deal closes
Option B
Use under fair use, no outreach
No documented licensing attempt
Possible enhanced damages if sued
Possible missed licensing opportunity
The Chauncy Way
Anonymous inquiry
Market-based pricing
Identity stays private if no deal is reached
Handle everything quickly in one place — from first inquiry to signed license and payment

Takes under 20 seconds to start. No commitment until a deal closes.

Don't choose between two bad options.

Chauncy lets you explore licensing anonymously — so your identity and editorial plans remain private, pricing reflects the value of the content, and you can initiate, negotiate, and complete deals in one streamlined workflow with no delays.

How it works

From content URL to signed license.

01

Paste the URL

Start with a social post, video, image, or other third-party content link.

02

Set your terms

Define usage, territory, term, media, and opening offer in a single guided flow.

03

Negotiate confidentially

The rights holder sees a verified media buyer — not your outlet, story, or plans.

04

Sign and complete

If both sides agree, identity is revealed, documents are signed, and the deal closes.
