Washington University appreciates and understands that many entities have certain preferred language for contracts. However, due to the large demand for SNOT and several of our copyrighted instruments, the agreement is non-negotiable.
As our office has completed numerous agreements for SNOT, we have worked hard to produce a non-negotiable agreement that both protects our interest in the intellectual property and is fair and reasonable to our licensees. The terms have been well vetted and accepted by numerous companies and non-profit entities.
Washington University can provide an amendment to your license. There is a $5000 amendment fee for commercial licenses, so we encourage you to accurately select number of uses and the term and add a buffer if needed.
