A copyright holder has the exclusive rights to control and develop the copyrighted material. In certain circumstances he or she may convey certain of those rights to a third party via a license agreement. A copyright license is usually given for a specified period during which the licensee pays a royalty fee for the use of the copyrighted material. Once the term of the license expires, all rights in the copyrighted material then revert back to the original copyright holder. This is a Copyright License Agreement for Copyrighted Text which sets forth the specific details of the license agreement. Having a well-written License Agreement will prove invaluable in the event of disagreements or misunderstandings.

• Parties: This provision sets forth the identity and names of the parties to the agreement;
