Document Overview

An Agreement Between Publisher and Author on Royalty Basis is a legal contract that sets out the terms under which a publisher is allowed to publish, market, and sell an author’s work - such as a book, novel, academic text, or any written material - while the author retains ownership (copyright) of the work.

Instead of selling their rights outright, the author allows the publisher to distribute the work in exchange for a percentage of the sales revenue (royalty). This ensures the author continues to earn income from every copy sold.

Purpose:
1. It ensures that the author’s copyright is recognized and preserved while allowing the publisher to reproduce and sell the work lawfully.
2. It specifies the royalty percentage the author will receive per sale, how often payments are made, and how sales are reported.
3. It clearly outlines the duties of both parties:
4. It provides a clear framework for resolving issues such as delays, accounting transparency, or termination of rights, reducing misunderstandings.
5. It makes the relationship legally enforceable under Kenyan law, allowing either party to seek legal redress if the other breaches the terms.
