Critical — do not sign

Upfront or setup fees

Lo que esta cláusula hace

You pay the agency money before it earns you anything.

¿Por qué te duele?

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.

Qué versión más justa parece

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

La palabra puede enviar de vuelta

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.

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