    I read through the terms and wondered why anyone would ever agree to something like that ...until I got to the part about collecting 30 to 60 percent of their advertising revenue : ) So, you give them non-exclusive, royalty-free and worldwide but terminable rights to your work, and they pay you? (Terminable because, "license shall be perpetual, unless terminated by Company or Artist. To terminate this agreement, Artist must notify Company by email content@clapway.com or clapway@gmail.com AND certified mail to 195 Plymouth, Unit 6/17 Brooklyn, NY 11201.") Your ability to monetize the video relies on payment for the "Artist's Music." The term is not defined and it's not clear what is intended. But, their website does not seem to place ads over videos anyway so any anticipated advertising revenue may not materialize even if the agreement is tightened up. Do they simply generate revenue from the services offered in their "Marketplace"? Under the terms, you do not share in that revenue. Moreover, nothing stops them from promoting your video on their YouTube channel. Unfortunately, the terms expressly shut you out from any revenues they collect from YouTube/Google. Finally, I haven't checked recently, but I thought that under YouTube's terms, videos uploaded there gave Larry and Sergey non-terminable (really "perpetual") rights to the uploads. Perhaps others know more about that. My question would be, what do you hope to get out of it? Best, Andrew
