Exit terms (no lock-in, notice <= 30 days)
“Can the creator terminate the agreement at will with 30 days or less written notice without financial penalty?”
Why This Matters to Creators
Long lock-in contracts (6–24 months) trap creators in non-performing or hostile agency relationships.
Scoring Guide for This Criterion
Month-to-month agreement, no minimum term, and notice period of 30 days or fewer.
Short initial term (2-5 months) before month-to-month, or notice period stated without clear initial term.
Minimum term of 6+ months, severe exit penalties, or termination terms undisclosed.
