The five contract clauses every creator should understand

Usage defines where the work appears. Territory defines where in the world. Term defines for how long. Exclusivity defines who you cannot work with while it runs. Indemnity defines who pays if something goes wrong. Those five clauses decide whether a deal is fair far more than the headline fee does. A lower fee with narrow usage and no exclusivity is frequently worth more than a bigger number that locks up your category for a year.
