Critical — do not sign

You sign away ownership of your content

Ko te mea e mahi ai tēnei waehere

Rights to your content transfer to the agency.

He aha te take i pā ai ki a koe

Your content is the only asset you actually own. Assigning it — or granting a perpetual, irrevocable licence, which is nearly as bad — means the agency can keep using and selling it after you leave, forever, and you may not be able to stop it.

He aha te āhua o te putanga tika

You keep all ownership. The agency gets a limited, revocable licence to use content solely for marketing you, ending when the contract does.

Ka taea e koe te tuku i te kupu

Creator retains all right, title and interest in and to all Content. Agency receives a non-exclusive, revocable, royalty-free licence to use Content solely to promote Creator during the Term, terminating automatically upon expiry or termination.

Whakapā tēnei ki roto i tōna urupare. He tino pai ake te tono mō tētahi huringa tauwhāiti i te tono ki a rātou ki te "whakamārō" i tētahi waeine.
