Upfront or setup fees
Vad denna klausul gör
You pay the agency money before it earns you anything.
Varför det gör ont.
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.
Hur en rättvis version ser ut
No upfront fees of any kind. The agency earns only from commission.
Ordning du kan skicka tillbaka
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.
