Without prejudice to the provisions in paragraph 7(b) of this Schedule Ten, the Writer also irrevocably waives pursuant to Section 87 of the Act unconditionally, irrevocably, all rights under Sections 77 and 80 of the Act and all other moral and writer’s rights of a similar nature whether now existing or hereafter conferred under the laws of any jurisdiction in respect of any changed format version. (b) The BBC will endeavour to ensure, in any agreement with a third party, that a screen credit shall be given to the Writer on the changed format versions, in a form to be agreed. Failure by any third party or inadvertent failure on the part of the BBC to comply with this clause shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement and in any event the rights granted pursuant to this Agreement shall not be capable of termination by reason of any breach of this clause. The fees set out above are equal to those for stories under the WGA Agreement uplifted by 10% and then rounded to the nearest $500.
