Rights & licensing

What is Perpetual buyout?

A licence granting the brand use of the content forever, across all media, with no expiry.

Why it matters to your money

Eliminates every future renewal conversation and all control over the asset. Price it as a multiple of your base rate, and prefer a term-limited licence where you can.
