Covering a range of contract types, this webinar provides you with the knowledge you need to understand contracts and increase your awareness of clauses that may not be in your favour.

We will take a comprehensive look across this topic, including what clients can do with your artwork (rights), what promises you are giving them (warranties and indemnities), and if you are covered if a project ends (cancellation and termination).

We’ll cover:
