Common use of Delete as appropriate Clause in Contracts

Delete as appropriate. Insofar as the Author has transferred his rights to a collecting society, he/she shall obtain its consent to the intended use. Other than that, his/her rights of use remain unaffected. (1) We recommend caution with regard to granting rights of use for an unlimited period. However, if these are nevertheless part of the agreement, the fee should be settled on an annual basis. The statutory term of copyright refers to copyright protection that applies throughout the lifetime of the author and for a period of 70 years after his/her death. (2) Instead of individual rights of use, the concrete use should be indicated in this case. (3) In the case of editions and book publications, it is important to specify the number of copies. (4) It must be agreed and documented in advance whether the use should be in analogue and digital format or only on the internet/in print. (5) When granting an exclusive right of use, only the User may use the work in the manner agreed upon. She/He may even prohibit the author from using the work in this way. Therefore, only non-exclusive rights of use should be granted if possible. § 3 Fee/remuneration
