What to Look for in
“Out of Print” Termination Clauses
By Guest Blogger Susan Spann
The “out of print” clause is often one of an author’s
only ways to terminate a publishing contract unilaterally (a legal term
that means “one-sided”—and, in this case, means the author’s right to terminate without the
publisher’s consent).
Out of print clauses are not relevant to
self-publishing, and should never appear in self-publishing terms of use.
