Let's say a publisher in the UK (let's call them Publisher Y) wants to buy world rights to a series.
In the contract, Publisher Y agrees to pay "10% royalty for book/ebook sales, and 5% royalty for export and international sales."
What does export/international sales mean, exactly?
Does that mean if someone in Germany buys a book from Publisher Y? (Presumably online or something?)
What about say, a German publisher (Publisher Z) who buys German rights to the book and sells it in Germany? Is that dealt with separately (Publisher Z + different contract?) or treated as an export/international sale with Publisher Y?
Does Publisher Y get some of the money with each German book Publisher Z sells? Or does the only money come from the sale of the German rights?
You can't even Google this stuff.
Totally lost, need help
