Episode 012 – Exclusivity in Contracts

Listen to this episode of Simplifying Legal for Small Business Owners using the player above or check it out on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Today is all about exclusivity in your contracts. An exclusivity provision places restrictions on one of the parties so that certain aspects of the relationship will be exclusive between the parties. Not every contract includes this type of provision, but a handful of industries use them regularly. 

Exclusivity clauses are extremely common for bloggers and influencers, particularly in sponsored content agreements. Exclusivity is often a heavily-negotiated area so you need to know how to read these provisions and evaluate if they’re a good fit.

In this episode, I cover several areas typically included in exclusivity clauses within contracts, providing examples along the way. I also touch on what you must do to ensure you’re working with good exclusivity clauses, before wrapping it up with a couple of action steps.

Please subscribe if you haven’t already. And if you like the show, I’d love it if you’d give it a review wherever you listen to podcasts!
