Subject: Revised licensing terms — third draft
Dear Helena,
Thank you for circulating the third draft overnight. This proposal we cannot accept without amending clause nine, and that amendment we request before any discussion of commercial timelines proceeds further.
What our client needs is territorial exclusivity defined by active distribution, not historical presence claimed in footnotes. What footnotes currently suggest is ambiguity our counsel cannot sign.
It was ambiguity that caused the previous partnership to collapse in 2019. It was 2019 counsel referenced when advising caution. Rarely have we seen language reuse problematic clauses verbatim; never have we agreed to such reuse here.
What we agree to in principle is co-marketing for selected catalogues. What we reject is unilateral assignment of translation rights bundled without separate consideration. This bundling we front as the core obstacle.
Clause four we can discuss flexibly. Clause nine we cannot. What flexibility means in clause four is staggered renewal windows; what inflexibility means in clause nine is retained ownership of derivatives our authors expect to control.
What authors expect is contractual clarity communicated before signatures. What signatures without clarity produce is disputes expensive for reputations on both sides. All we wanted from this round was good faith redrafting; all we received was cosmetic reordering.
It was reordering that pseudo-clefts exposed in our internal notes: What changed was sequence, not substance. What substance remains is unacceptable overlap with existing sub-licences in Nordic territories.
What Nordic territories require is separate schedule mapping ISBN blocks. What mapping prevents is accidental double licensing discovered during audits. Not until schedules attach will finance approve escrow release.
It was escrow that your team proposed to accelerate goodwill. It was goodwill we appreciate yet cannot purchase with legal risk. Seldom does escrow compensate for indemnities drafted too broadly.
What indemnities must cover is specified breach categories. What broad language covers is unlimited exposure our board prohibits. This exposure we name explicitly so negotiation cannot pretend misunderstanding later.
What later arbitration would cost is relationship capital both imprints claim to value. What value implies is patience with iterative drafting. It was iterative drafting that produced acceptable terms in our 2021 joint venture.
What 2021 taught is fronting concessions early reduces stalemate. Early concessions we offer on marketing spend caps and festival presence. Those concessions we list in tracked changes attached.
What tracked changes exclude is clause nine language until your counsel responds. What response we anticipate is counter-proposal narrowing derivative definitions to formats explicitly enumerated.
It was enumeration that resolved a similar dispute with another partner. It was that partner's counsel who suggested model wording we can share under confidentiality. This wording we forward separately.
What confidentiality requires is one-week review window. What review window prevents is rushed acceptance before authors' agents comment. Only after agent comment should we schedule a closing call.
What closing calls achieve is alignment on implementation timelines obscured in drafts. What obscured timelines risk is missed print windows our sales team already advertised cautiously.
It was cautious advertising that protected us from over-promising.
