with revised terms that are fairly standard.¶
As I mentioned, the document as presented had a lot of defects (in addition to it being a rather lackluster offer). I know you all chatted about moving forward quickly, but we all need to collectively address the terms in more detail. The provision regarding back end is so off base, I suggest we address the other issues like price and term first.¶
Also please note that needs to reserve quite a few rights so she can proceed with her intended business goals of a podcast, Ted Talk, speaking engagements, and unscripted projects.¶
Most importantly, if a creative work based on her book (only) is to be made, she needs creative input and approval so her life and those of her family are not distorted for the sake of the project.¶
Since you do not seem to be well versed in this area, you may want to consider engaging an attorney to assist on your end. This agreement should not have been fast tracked in this way, it is not fair to as I’m sure you understand now.¶
Reserving all rights.¶
