Critical — do not sign
Upfront or setup fees
该条款的作何规定
You pay the agency money before it earns you anything.
为何会伤害你
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.
多么公平的版本 看起来像
No upfront fees of any kind. The agency earns only from commission.
说句话,你可以回去
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.
把这个粘贴在您的答复中。 要求具体修改要比要求他们“ 简单” 条款更为有效 。
