Termination fee or exit penalty

Wat hierdie klousule doen

You pay money to leave.

Waarom dit jou seermaak

An exit fee converts a bad relationship into an expensive one. It is a core driver of creator/agency disputes, and agencies use it to make leaving financially impossible rather than to compensate genuine loss.

Hoe 'n billike weergawe lyk

No exit fee. Both sides can walk on reasonable notice.

Jy kan terugstuur in woord wat jy kan stuur

Neither party shall owe any fee, penalty, or liquidated damages upon termination.

Plak hierdie in jou antwoord. Vra vir 'n spesifieke verandering is baie doeltreffender as om hulle te vra na "s dikwels"' n klousule.
