4 – RIGHTS AND ADDITIONAL FEES
All rights are conferred on Do Good Things Ltd, the publisher of nearfield magazine.

You, the contributor, grant the Company all rights to the commission, but retain copyright of the commission.

The Company shall have the right to use the Material for advertising and publicity purposes in any medium for the purpose of promoting the publication in accordance with this Agreement.

“All rights” means an assignment of the entire worldwide rights in respect of the Material and for the full period of copyright therein, and all renewals and extensions thereof and all rights of a like nature wherever subsisting.

Where the Company has a “syndication licence” it may exercise the above syndication rights on a non-exclusive basis. The Company may itself re-use the Material with no onward obligation to the Supplier.

The Supplier warrants that he/she is fully authorised to confer the rights covered by this Agreement.

All of the material created by the Supplier as a result of this commission shall be the subject of the rights granted to the Company, and not just the material the Company chooses to publish. All material produced shall be delivered to the Company on request, at the expense of the Supplier.
