Licensing Terms

Sample Licensing Agreement

They say opportunity won’t knock twice. And that’s wrong. Opportunity knocks many times, it just knocks softer each time.

Consider this page the first knock.

WHEREAS, we the Parties of this agreement (henceforth referred to as the "Payee/ Partyee" and the “Payer/Partyer”) realize that for this to be a good Party, the Partyee and the Partyer must each bring something to said Party (usually this can be accomplished quite simply by saying nice things about each other--on social media--or personally recommending each other to friends) WHEREAS, the Partyee and Partyer agree that Parties are supposed to be FUN, so we will have FUN, and HAVING FUN is especially important if AND when we are not MAKING MONEY… because if there is one that we don’t have enough of in our lives—hint: it’s not money—it’s FUN.

WHEREAS, anyone reading this contract who has not yet watched, or laughed out loud while watching, our short film at www.732-738.com/licensing will agree to do so now.

WHEREAS, anyone who has read this contract, or watched the alternative ending to our short film that does not use your music at www.732-738.com/licensing-alternate-ending, and watched it to its very end, also agrees to abide by Rule #2 of The Accomplices' Code: Never, ever spoil the ending (for what it's worth, we also recommend not spoiling beginnings, but that is sometimes harder.)

WHEREAS, if I do accidentally spoil "The Ending", that's ok, sometimes shit happens, we all screw up sometimes, and it's also OK as long as you don't spoil "The Alternate Ending", because "The Other Ending" was the better anyway.

WHEREAS, by continuing to read past this line, I am agreeing to become an Accomplice in The Plot to Change The World (#TPTCTW), I will abide by The Accomplices' Code in its entirety, and agree to trust "The Author" that THIS WILL FUN, even though I know not yet Rules number 1, nor 3 through 5.

WHEREAS, if we cannot agree on something, as an alternative to mediation, the dispute may be resolved by duel, specifically a lightsaber duel to the death, whereby Parties agree to film a duel between two persons of mutual choosing, and the winner of said duel gets exclusive rights to the film footage and master recording of the duel.

WHEREAS, below begins the serious part about how we want to stuff your pockets with money.

If you’re here, you probably own the rights to one of the works at the bottom of the page. Watch the videos below and review our proposed financial terms.

Here are the two songs that we are seeking ‘For Festival Use Only’ licenses for the short film about the not-yet-optioned film that’s got Hollywood laywers laughing:
