Critical — do not sign
Termination fee or exit penalty
この条件の意味
You pay money to leave.
なぜ痛いんだ
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.
フェアなバージョンはどう見えるか
No exit fee. Both sides can walk on reasonable notice.

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.
