Kind of Contract

Non-exclusive (?)

2+2=5?

I couldn't convince my computer to open the agreement, but going by their FAQ it seems to be reasonably fair (however caution is a good thing when dealing with POD publishers).

Note that in this particular case this does not necessarily indicate a problem. In this instance my own computer was to blame.
