If that ever happens, it's news to me. Authors generally write endorsements (blurbs) as a favor to the other author or editor, or to help give a boost to a new writer. Never heard of it being written into a contract. The editor sends a copy of a manuscript and says, "Hey, if you have time, could you read this and send me a quote if you like it?" And the author says, "Sure," or, "Sorry, can't."
