A contract between a publisher and a contributor of content.
£99.99
Description
A Contributor Agreement is for use between a website publisher and a contributor of original content consisting of text, video, images and/or other media for publication by the publisher. It may be used to cover multiple contributions from the contributor, paid or unpaid.
A contributor agreement is imperative to minimise the risk of intellectual property disputes, by clearly setting out the intellectual property terms (legal ownership of the material, transfer of the title, etc.) of the materials that are being contributed, as well as the other important terms of the contribution. Such terms include:
- details of the material the company wants the contributor to provide and the payment that will be given in exchange for it;
- specific clauses dedicated to the IP rights of the material created, whether the contributor will retain their rights to the intellectual property or if it is allocated to the company;
- explicitly stating the relationship between the two parties not being one of employment, the contributor will solely be seen as an independent contractor; and
- providing the parties’ ability to terminate the agreement.

Questions and Answers
We currently support businesses in the UK, Angola, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda. Located in a different country? We’d be happy to refer you to someone local who can help – please contact us at hello@strandsahara.com.
All our contracts, templates, and guides are signed off by fully qualified legal professionals who have worked for some of the biggest corporations in the world. They each have at least 8 years’ legal experience and possess local and international experience.
We strongly recommend that you sign up for one of our all-inclusive plans so that you can make the most of the guidance and support we provide. However, we also offer a pay-as-you-go options if you are not ready just yet.
Our plans are all-inclusive because it is important to us that you have the right support and guidance on each of the key legal protections. It is up to you whether you make use of everything available, but we hope that you do in order to give your business the legal protection it deserves.
We provide legal support for business issues, including contracts, intellectual property and company secretarial work. We do not currently provide dispute resolution, property law services or support for personal legal issues.
Absolutely not! Our contracts are tailored to your business needs and situation.
Every business should have its own, tailor-made standard contracts for customers which reflect the way it does business.
Having your own standard terms will ensure that you’re able to provide the protection that your business needs and will enhance your reputation because customers will know what to expect from you and what happens if things go wrong.
To be effective, your standard terms must reflect the way you do business and protect your business from the specific risks you face. In contrast, we know that many businesses resort to relying on generic templates or re-purposing contracts obtained from competitors or previous employers. The problem is that these contracts often do not match up with your or your customers’ expectations and fail to adequately protect your business because important risks are not properly addressed. Poorly drafted or ill-suited contracts are often not worth the paper they are written on.
We are keen to connect with experienced legal professionals across Africa with a shared passion for building the African corporate giants for tomorrow. If that’s you, please get in touch by sending us an email at hello@strandsahara.com.
