Clauses About Non-Exclusive Use

These clauses share the designated rights in the work between the creator and the other party. They are generally less “dangerous” than grants of exclusive rights, yet still warrant attention because many (if not most) contracts containing these clauses do not require the other party to get the creator’s approval for any of the other party’s exploitations.

Many or most of these contracts do not oblige the other party to pay the creator for those exploitations.
