New Platforms Clause Samples

The "New Platforms" clause defines how the agreement addresses the emergence or use of new distribution channels, technologies, or media that were not originally contemplated at the time of contract execution. Typically, this clause specifies whether rights granted under the agreement extend to these new platforms, such as future digital services or social media, and may outline procedures for negotiating additional terms if necessary. Its core function is to ensure that both parties have clarity and a framework for handling technological advancements, thereby preventing disputes over rights and compensation as new platforms arise.
