High — negotiate before signing

Term longer than 12 months

El que aquesta clàusula fa

How long you are committed for.

Per què et fa mal?

A long term removes your only real leverage — the ability to leave. If the agency underperforms in month two, you have the rest of the term to endure it. Multi-year lock-ins are how creators end up trapped with agencies they hate.

Quina versió més justa sembla.

12 months maximum, ideally with a 30-day no-fault exit for both sides.

Es pot enviar de nou

The initial term shall be twelve (12) months. Either party may terminate at any time on thirty (30) days written notice without penalty.

Enganxar això en la vostra resposta. Fer un canvi específic és molt més efectiu que demanar-los "soften" una clàusula.
