Exactly, and if they have any queries then they need to ask them prior to deciding whether to sign or not.
RE the subject under discussion in this thread, it seems that legal action has been instigated claiming that clause/s have not been applied as indicated on the contract or have not been spelt out clearly in the terms of the contract, or whatever else is in the claim.
It may be the case (or not) that the clauses concerning payment to the author were not clearly articulated and may have caused the authors to 'believe' one thing when in fact something else was intended.
