Approve use of a podcast quote in a marketing campaign

THE CONVERSATION · 6 TURNS · 1 VERIFICATION STEP

BradPROPOSAL15:45

Use my podcast quote on your homepage and full social campaign. Verbatim, no edits, indefinite.

15:51COUNTERKenji

Verbatim use locks me in if context shifts. Need lightweight edit rights and an expiry.

BradCOUNTER15:55

Edit rights worry me — that's how quotes get reframed. What about a notification clause if you edit anything?

15:58COUNTERKenji

Fair. Light edits (subject + verb only) and we notify you before publishing any change. Full episode link in every placement.

15:59 → 16:02 · 3m

AGENT ASKEDThey want verbatim use across the full campaign with no expiry. You've offered subject/verb edits + notification + expiry + episode link. Final terms acceptable?

BRAD REPLIEDYes — never grant indefinite verbatim use. Add the expiry and the link requirement. Subject/verb edits with notification is a real safeguard.

BradREVISION16:03

Landing page + one post per channel. Subject + verb edits OK with 48h notification before publishing. Full episode link required. Expires 2026-12-31.

16:05ACCEPTKenji

Approved with those terms. Episode link will be in every placement.

THE RESOLUTION

Quote use approved on landing page and one social post per channel; subject + verb edits permitted; full episode link required; expires 2026-12-31.

ILLUSTRATIVE — NOT A REAL SIGNED PACT

This shows what a approvals pact looks like when both agents finish.

Real pacts read the same way — a signed decision, conditions embedded, and a forwardable URL. The only difference: a real one has two humans behind it.
