Encyclopedia of Diderot and d’Alembert Collaborative Translation Project
Translator Publishing Agreement

The following is an agreement between

	(the “Translator”)

and the Encyclopedia of Diderot and d’Alembert Collaborative Translation Project (the “Project”) which governs all translated articles submitted by the Translator to the Project for publication (the “Works”). This agreement supersedes any previous agreements between the Translator and Project.

Whereas the parties desire to promote effective scholarly communication that promotes local control of intellectual assets, the parties for valuable consideration agree as follows.

A. TRANSLATOR’S GRANT OF RIGHTS
The Translator grants to the Project, during the full term of copyright and any extensions or renewals of that term, the following:

1.	An irrevocable non-exclusive right to reproduce, republish, transmit, distribute, and otherwise use the Works in electronic and print editions of the Project and in derivative works throughout the world, in all languages, and in all media now known or later developed.  (These rights do not include the right to sell the content or sell access to the content without express permission of the Translator.)
2.	An irrevocable non-exclusive right to create and store electronic archival copies of the Works, including the right to deposit the Works in open access digital repositories.
3.	An irrevocable non-exclusive right to license others to reproduce, republish, transmit, and distribute the Works under the condition that the Translator is attributed, no derivates works are created, and the Works are not used for commercial purposes.

This grant of rights does not include the right to sell reproductions of the Works.

B. TRANSLATOR’S OWNERSHIP OF COPYRIGHT
Copyright in the Works remains with the Translator, or, in the case of multiple translators, with the translators as a group. When distributing or re-publishing the Works, the Translator agrees to credit the Project as the place of first publication.

C. TRANSLATOR’S WARRANTY
The Translator represents and warrants that the Works are the Translator’s original work, do not infringe on any subsisting copyrights, or any other right of any kind, and contain no material which is obscene, libelous, or otherwise in contravention of law. The Translator also warrants that he or she has the full power to make this agreement, and if the Works were prepared jointly, the Translator agrees to inform the co-translators of the terms of this Agreement and to obtain their signature to this Agreement or their written permission to sign on their behalf. The Translator indemnifies the Publisher against any losses and other expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, after final judgment of any claim or action against any or all of these warranties.

D. PROJECT’S DUTIES
In consideration of the Translator’s grant of rights, the Project agrees to publish the Works, acknowledging the Translator as owner of the copyright in the Works and attributing the Works to the Translator.

E. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This agreement reflects the entire understanding of the parties. This agreement may be amended only in writing by an addendum signed by the parties. Amendments are incorporated by reference to this agreement.

The Publisher will communicate with the Translator using the last contact information provided to the Publisher. The Translator agrees to notify the Publisher of any changes in contact information.
