Upfront or setup fees
O que fai esta cláusula
You pay the agency money before it earns you anything.
Por que che doe?
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.
Como se ve unha versión xusta
No upfront fees of any kind. The agency earns only from commission.
Texto que pode enviar de volta
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.
