Always be careful with exclusive. If you are doing something exclusive, get

it in writing, in a contract and make it obvious what you both mean.


Personally, i feel you should be careful with exclusive deals for a number

of reasons.


1. what happens if the other partner goes belly up???

2. what happens if you have a falling out with the other partner and then

need to find a new partner pronto.

3. what actual benefit are you really getting by doing an exlusive deal? you

certainly need to weigh up the pros and the cons and decide that while it

may look very appealing in the short term, in the long term it may not be

worth doing.


Exclusive deals tend to benefit the weaker partner in the deal. Make sure

you are not the weaker partner...


Keep the eyes open on all deals and make sure you know what you are doing

and above all, get yourself a good lawyer to read the deals you sign. For

the sake of �150 (or so...) plus VAT an hour, a good lawyer is essential to

make sure you avoid any pitfalls and hassle later on...
