Default contract question regarding future franchising or sale.

I'm in the middle of writing a usage contract for a logo i designed for a hot dog vendor. Ive factored in a fee (half of the original price) for use on each future cart, but there is a possibility of these guys selling the whole ensemble or possibly franchising at a later date. Any help on how i include a stipulation for this in a contract would be helpful. Do I come up with a percentage? a set fee? Is it usually based on a companys worth at the time of sale? and if so how do I know the figure i'm told is real?

I would only put in the specific useage in this original agreement with a stipulation that ANY other use is to be negotiated with the artist. For instance, this contract is only for the corp id and useage on the carts themselves. Any other use (shirts, franchises sales, cups, etc) would have to be re-negotiated prior to implementation. This leaves it open so that they can do whatever they need to (you're not tying them down) but still protects your work. You might check out the GAG handbook too, I think there is a chapter regading this in there.

Good luck!

That last post was mine... Also you could actually sell the entire thing over (well, the copyrights) for an huge payday if they decide to sell the company or something. But that's tricky to negotiate. What if the copy gets as big as McDonalds? What if they don't? How do you compensate the artist for either situation?

Ive checked the gag book, its kind of all over the place on that specific topic. I had already resorted to the "negotiable " type contract, but i'll still have to figure it out if these circumstances arise though.
