Critical — do not sign

Upfront or setup fees

Wat hierdie klousule doen

You pay the agency money before it earns you anything.

Waarom dit jou seermaak

This is the single most reliable marker of an agency scam. Documented setup fees run $500-$5,000. A real agency makes money when you make money — that is the entire premise of commission. If it wants cash upfront, it has already been paid whether or not it ever helps you.

Hoe 'n billike weergawe lyk

No upfront fees of any kind. The agency earns only from commission.

Jy kan terugstuur in woord wat jy kan stuur

No fees, deposits, or charges of any kind shall be payable by Creator to Agency. Agency compensation is limited to commission on revenue actually received.

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