18 कलमे जे तुम्हाला स्वाक्षरी थांबवावे पाहिजे

व्यवस्थापन करार संस्थांकडून, संस्थांसाठी लिहिले जातात - आणि युट्यूबवर स्वाक्षरी करणारा एमसीएन असो, स्ट्रीमर्सवर स्वाक्षरी करणारे नेटवर्क असो किंवा सदस्यता निर्माण करणार्‍यावर स्वाक्षरी करणारा एजन्सी असो, ते सर्व एकसारखे नियम वापरतात. हे असे नियम आहेत ज्यामुळे तुम्हाला पैसे किंवा नियंत्रण खर्च होते: प्रत्येकाने काय केले आहे, ते का दुखावते आणि परत पाठवण्यासाठी काय शब्द आहेत.

तुमचा करार मोफत तपासा हा प्रस्ताव योग्य आहे का?
7 of these are deal-breakers. ते तुम्हाला तुमचे खाते, तुमच्या विषयवस्तु, किंवा तुम्ही आधीच कमवलेले पैसे खर्च करू शकतात. जर तुमच्या करारात एक असेल तर, त्यावर लिहून स्वाक्षरी करू नका.

कसे वापरावे

Read the ones marked critical first. Then either work through your own contract by hand, or paste it into the free reviewer and let it quote the exact clauses back at you with suggested replacement wording.

This is an automated review to help you spot common problems — not legal advice, and not a substitute for a lawyer. We can miss things, and a clause that looks fine in isolation can still be a problem in context. Have a lawyer review anything you are about to sign.
