Description of Work:

The Client wishes to license certain rights in the Work which the Author has created and which is described as follows:

Title: Internet Guide. This is a weekly series of articles averaging between 590 and 610 words per article. The subject matter of the articles revolves around the Internet and all of its related facets. It is intended to be a guide to both new and experienced users helping them to find their way through the maze we call the Internet.

Delivery Date:

The Author agrees to deliver said articles in the Internet Guide series by E-mail. Articles can easily be cut and pasted into the client’s page layout software.  These articles will be emailed weekly.

Grant of Rights:

Upon receipt of full payment, Author grants to the Client the following rights in the Work:

To print the Work one time only in the Client’s newspaper or periodical. Additional printing or printing in other publications owned by the Client will require additional licensing and compensation.

With respect to the usage shown above, the Client shall have nonexclusive rights to the work. The Work is a nationally syndicated series.

Reservation of Rights:

All rights not expressly granted hereunder are reserved to the Author, including but not limited to all rights in preliminary materials and all electronic rights. For purposes of this agreement, electronic rights are defined as rights in the digitized form of works that can be encoded, stored, and retrieved from such media as computer disks, CD-ROM, computer databases, and network servers.

Fees:

Client agrees to pay the following for the rights granted. The license fee for the Internet Guide series is $5.00 per article for daily newspapers. Total cost for the print rights to the fifty two articles is $260.00. Daily newspapers in towns with less than 5,000 population are billed at one half the standard rate $130.00. Weekly newspapers are billed $50.00 reflecting their smaller circulation and advertising revenue.
