High — negotiate before signing

Term longer than 12 months

Lo que esta cláusula hace

How long you are committed for.

¿Por qué te duele?

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.

Qué versión más justa parece

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

La palabra puede enviar de vuelta

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

Pegar esto en tu respuesta. Pedir un cambio específico es mucho más eficaz que pedirles que "suavicen" una cláusula.
