INTRODUCTION
The first slim volume of Media Contracts was published in 1989. Such was
the clear demand for ready-to-use media-based precedents, that a second
volume was published in 1990. A second edition of Media Contracts was
published in 2001, which combined both volumes with internet-related
agreements. A third edition followed in 2006 expanding the work into business
and commercial areas including, in particular, employment contracts. The
fourth edition, published in 2009, continued with the expansion of the broad
nature of the contracts, letters and other related material into areas outside
the relatively strict confines of ‘media’ and into more business-to-business
areas, and for that reason the title was revised to ‘The Media and Business
Contracts Handbook’. A fifth edition, published in 2014, was expanded
considerably with a number of new agreements and restructured to reflect
the shifting emphasis towards digital and business-to-business models.
This 6th edition of The Media and Business Contracts Handbook revises
and updates the 5th edition and incorporates 10 new agreements to bring
the work more closely into alignment with current practices and legal
developments.
In addition, the structure of the new edition has evolved in line with the
revised contents as follows:
1
INTRODUCTION
• Apps/digital;
• Website/internet/social media;
• General business and commerce;
• Publishing agreements;
• Agency;
• Employment, contracts for services, confidentiality;
• Sponsorship and image rights;
• Advertising, promotion, product placement;
• Film and television production;
• Exploitation of characters, designs, artwork, photographs and three-
dimensional works;
• Short form agreements, letters and competition rules;
• Specific clause meanings;
• Codes of Practice and guidelines;
• Legal, commercial and business internet directory.
The effect of Brexit is of course on-going, as shall be the case for some
time. In that context the drafting issues addressed include not only the
relevant prevailing jurisdiction of an agreement but the territorial scope of
its intended aim.
Technological and culture advancements impact the new edition of this
work in a number of ways particularly in the context of film production
(Contracts 62–75) where account is taken of the continuing evolution of the
term ‘broadcast’ to include the wireless transmission and delivery of images,
content, sounds and data to all manner of devices. It also presumes the
continuing ‘blurring’ of the concepts of a ‘phone’, a computer or a ‘tablet’ or
even a ‘watch’ as the increasing sophistication of all devices races towards
seamless access to music, sounds, images, data collection and analysis
integrating a wide variety of devices for myriad purposes.
The previously entitled ‘Checklist’ section has been expanded and
broadened under the new heading ‘Specific clause meanings’ which can
be used not only as checklist reference source but also as a stand-alone
narrative and analysis addressing 20 commonly used terms within the
contracts from ‘Assertion’ to ‘Warranty’.
It has been a consistent challenge of ours over the years to avoid, where
reasonably possible, reference to specific acts of Parliament and secondary

INTRODUCTION
Each contract in this work can be used as a starting point and subsequently
adapted for particular circumstances. We often find that even the structure
and general content of an agreement can be of great assistance to an
individual who is initially faced with a blank screen and a tight deadline.
Our accompanying title, The A–Z of Contracts Clauses, has been drafted on
the basis that a wide range of potentially alternative and new clauses is very
helpful during the course of negotiation.

the essential nature and dynamics of the agreement in both a legal and
commercial context. This edition contains a large number of references to
specific legislation which are pertinent to the agreement in hand.

1 APP DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
It is important to note that this agreement presumes that the app will be
downloaded for free, otherwise further clauses would need to be incorporated
addressing the accounting of such revenues.
Contract 2 of this work is very different to this one because there are
provisions relating to the division of anticipated revenues from the purchase
of the app. There will no doubt be circumstances where a hybrid of both of
these contracts is more appropriate.
However this agreement is intended to address fundamental issues including
the intellectual property ownership of the developed app which is drafted in
favour of the Proprietor under the provisions of Clause 4.
This agreement is similar in concept to an agreement to design and
commission a website. As with website design it is crucial to keep as
firm a handle on costs as may reasonably and realistically be imposed.
Therefore there is a clearly defined ‘app budget’ and a Schedule setting
out the Payment and Critical Path which will of course be particular to each
adapted deal.
In due course to make the app available from Apple or Google or indeed
any third party, the provider will need to engage with the detailed terms
requested from those sources which need to be assessed within their own
very idiosyncratic and detailed US-driven terminology.
Those ‘developer agreements’ are separate agreements that do not form
part of this work as they necessarily belong to and emanate from the major
app players.
These agreements come in different forms and components: Amazon
have an ‘Appstore Distribution Agreement’ and a ‘Developer Services
Agreement’; Google refer to an ‘Android Market for Developer’; Apple have
an ‘iOS Developer Programme Licence Agreement’.
You do need to keep a close eye on changes to such agreements and the
numerous components and schedules which in their totality form the entire
agreement and are often difficult to piece together.

[534] Les bruits odieux répandus sur la mort du prince électoral de Bavière ne sont
plus répétés aujourd’hui que par de vils écrivains sans aveu, sans pudeur, et sans
connaissance du monde, qui travaillent pour des libraires, et qui se donnent pour des
politiques. On trouve dans les prétendus Mémoires de madame de Maintenon, tome V,
page 6, ces paroles: «La cour de Vienne, de tout temps infectée des maximes de
Machiavel, et soupçonnée de réparer par ses empoisonneurs les fautes de ses
ministres.» Il semble, par cette phrase, que la cour de Vienne eût de tout temps des
empoisonneurs en titre d’office, comme on a des huissiers et des drabans. C’est un
devoir de relever des expressions si indécentes, et de combattre des idées si
calomnieuses.
[535] Voltaire dit Pernits, dans le chap. XXVI. Saint-Simon écrit Berlips; voyez
pages 278, 445 du tome II de l’édition de ses Mémoires en vingt volumes in-8º. B.
[536] Reboulet suppose que cet ambassadeur fut reçu d’abord magnifiquement. Il
fait un grand éloge de sa livrée, de son beau carrosse doré, et de l’accueil tout-à-fait
gracieux de sa majesté. Mais le marquis, dans ses dépêches, avoue qu’on ne lui fit
nulle civilité, et qu’il ne vit le roi qu’un moment dans une chambre très sombre,
éclairée de deux bougies, de peur qu’il ne s’aperçût que ce prince était moribond.
Enfin, les Mémoires de Torci démontrent qu’il n’y a pas un mot de vrai dans tout ce
que Reboulet, Limiers, et les autres historiens, ont dit de cette grande affaire.
[537] Il y avait toujours un parti français à la cour d’Espagne. Les chefs de ce parti
imaginèrent de faire accroire au roi qu’il était ensorcelé, et l’on envoya consulter, en
conséquence, le plus habile sorcier qu’il y eût alors dans toute l’Espagne. Le sorcier
répondit comme on le desirait, mais il eut la maladresse de compromettre dans sa
réponse des personnes très considérables; ce qui fournit à la reine, contre qui cette
intrigue était dirigée, et qui n’osait s’en plaindre, un prétexte pour perdre le sorcier et
ses protecteurs. (Mémoires de Saint-Philippe). K.
[538] Quelques mémoires disent que le cardinal Portocarrero arracha du roi
mourant la signature de ce testament; ils lui font tenir un long discours pour y
disposer ce monarque: mais on voit que tout était déjà préparé et réglé dès le mois de
juillet. Qui pourrait d’ailleurs savoir ce que dit le cardinal Portocarrero au roi tête à
tête?
[539] Voyez, dans le volume suivant, le chapitre (XXVII) des Anecdotes.
[540] Voyez les Mémoires de Torci, tome Iᵉʳ, page 12.
[541] A ne considérer que la justice, cette question était délicate. Le traité de
partage liait Louis XIV; mais il n’avait aucun droit de priver son petit-fils d’une
succession qui était indépendante de son autorité. Il avait encore moins celui de
donner à l’Espagne un autre maître que celui qui était appelé au trône par la règle
ordinaire des successions, par le testament de Charles II et le consentement des
peuples. Le traité fait avec l’Angleterre paraît donc injuste; et ce n’est pas de l’avoir
violé, mais de l’avoir proposé, qu’on peut faire un reproche à Louis XIV. Devait-il
regarder comme absolument nul cet engagement injuste, ou devait-il, en laissant la
liberté à son petit-fils d’accepter ou de refuser, se croire obligé à ne lui point donner
de secours contre les puissances avec lesquelles il avait pris des engagements? La
guerre qu’elles feraient au nouveau roi d’Espagne n’était-elle point évidemment
injuste? Et l’engagement de ne pas défendre son petit-fils, injustement attaqué, aurait-
il pu être légitime? K.
[542] Malgré le mépris où sont en France les prétendus Mémoires de madame de
Maintenon, en est pourtant obligé d’avertir les étrangers que tout ce qu’on y dit au
sujet de ce testament est faux. L’auteur prétend que lorsque l’ambassadeur d’Espagne
vint apporter à Louis XIV les dernières volontés de Charles II, le roi lui répondit: Je
verrai. Certainement le roi ne fit point une réponse si étrange, puisque, de l’aveu du
marquis de Torci, l’ambassadeur d’Espagne n’eut audience de Louis XIV qu’après le
conseil dans lequel le testament fut accepté.
Le ministre qu’on avait alors en Espagne s’appelait Blécour, et non pas Belcour.
Ce que le roi dit à l’ambassadeur Castel dos Rios, dans les Mémoires de Maintenon,
n’a jamais été dit que dans ce roman.
[543] Guillaume III, né, suivant les uns, le 14 octobre 1650, suivant les autres, le
13 novembre, est mort le 16 mars 1702, avant d’avoir atteint sa cinquante-deuxième
année. Il était dans la cinquante et unième au commencement de 1701. B.
[544] Du moins c’est ce que rapportent les Mémoires manuscrits du marquis de
Dangeau. Ils sont quelquefois infidèles.
[545] Cet alinéa fut ajouté dans l’édition de 1752. Des changements et additions
furent aussi faits à ce qui précède et à ce qui suit. B.
[546] Il paraît, d’après les notes des Mémoires de Berwick, que Louis XIV avait
pris sa résolution avant la mort de Jacques, et qu’ainsi le conseil, dont en a parlé ici,
fut tenu avant la troisième visite de Louis XIV à ce prince, celle où il déclara au
malheureux Jacques qu’il reconnaîtrait son fils pour roi d’Angleterre. K.
[547] Entre autres, milord Bolingbroke, dont les Mémoires ont depuis justifié ce
que l’auteur du Siècle avance. Voyez ses Lettres, tome II, page 56. C’est ainsi que
pense encore M. de Torci dans ses Mémoires. Il dit, page 164 du tome Iᵉʳ, première
édition: «La résolution que prit le roi, de reconnaître le prince de Galles en qualité de
roi d’Angleterre, changea les dispositions qu’une grande partie de la nation
témoignait à conserver la paix, etc.» Le lord Bolingbroke avoue, dans ses Lettres, que
Louis XIV reconnut le prétendant par des importunités de femmes. On voit, par ces
témoignages, avec quelle exactitude l’auteur du Siècle de Louis XIV a cherché la
vérité, et avec quelle candeur il l’a dite.
[548] Voyez page 476. B.
[549] Voyez, ci-devant, la note de la page 460.
On a fait dire à Guillaume: «Le roi de France ne devrait point me haïr; je l’imite
en beaucoup de choses, je le crains en plusieurs, et je l’admire en tout.» On cite sur
cela les Mémoires de M. de Dangeau. Je ne me souviens point d’y avoir vu ces
paroles: elles ne sont ni dans le caractère ni dans le style du roi Guillaume. Elles ne se
trouvent dans aucun mémoire anglais concernant ce prince, et il n’est pas possible
qu’il ait dit qu’il imitait Louis XIV, lui dont les mœurs, les goûts, la conduite dans la
guerre et dans la paix, furent en tout l’opposé de ce monarque.
