The Author agrees not to publish or permit others to publish the Work in any form or medium prior to its initial publication by Publisher. Furthermore, the Author agrees not to publish or permit others to publish the Work for 21 days from the date of initial publication by Publisher, unless the Author has written permission from the Publisher. If and when the Work is republished by Author or any licensee of Author (other than Publisher), the Author agrees that Publisher shall be named as the “First Publisher” and, if republished in digital form, that the Work shall include a link to the original Work as published by Publisher.
   
   
3. In exchange for the rights granted to the Publisher herein, the Author will receive the one-time payment as agreed to and arranged by the Publisher and Author. Author shall be entitled to no other compensation.

THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FORMS AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN PUBLISHER AND AUTHOR.
