I have a question about the following paragraph in the Suppliers Agreement:
”3.E. License.
To enable 2CO to use the information you supply to 2CO, including without limitation, the images, trademarks, trade names and logos found on your website(s), without violating any rights you might have in the information and the images, trademarks, trade names and logos found on your website, you agree to grant, and hereby do grant, 2CO a royalty free, worldwide, nonexclusive, perpetual and irrevocable license to exercise the copyright, publicity and database rights, and to sublicense such rights through multiple tiers, that you have in such information, images, trademarks, trade names and logos, in any media now known or not currently known, with respect to the information, images trademarks, trade names and logos. ”
Does this mean that 2CO can use the content of the e-books I intend to sell? For instance sell it to a publisher or for movie rights without my consent or knowledge?
And does 2CO get the copyright of my information, or do both @CO and I share that copyright?

Thank you for the question. I’m happy to clarify.
2CO is an internet reseller. If we attempted to claim copyright of our suppliers’ e-books and other creative products/services in an attempt to sell the movie rights etc., we’d very quickly lose the trust of our suppliers.
This part of the agreement provides 2CO the ability to list your products on our transaction pages and in our shopping center. It allows us to provide the services we provide. It also allows us to promote your products/services and your association with 2CO through a variety of means. It does NOT provide us with the ability to violate your copyrights or trademarks.

Hi Cliff,
Thank you for your answer, which is very clear.
Unfortunately I am asking on behalf of an client of mine, who would like to see that in writing in the suppliers agreement. Is this possible? Or could it be possible to supply her with another written document that states the above?
Thank you!
