Termination of the contract for online novels

I wrote a serial novel on Red Sleeves Fragrance Network and signed a license contract. However, after the editor's recommendation, the response was not good. The work was not outstanding enough and there was no income. Now, he wanted to apply for the termination of the contract and take back the novel copyright that was granted to Qidian. However, the Qidian contract was very strict. It included the copyright of the work (publishing, film and television, game adaptation, creator design and storyline, and the right to modify the work was permanently transferred to Party A). Most of the contract revolved around the rights of Party A. Other than fulfilling its obligations, Party B did not specify the way to terminate the contract (the contract could only be resolved through negotiation when there was a dispute between the two parties, and Party A could modify and create derivative works if Party B's creation did not meet the requirements).
There is another author who is in a similar situation as me.(The relevant examples can be found on Weibo, Meilin Chunxiao's Weibo.) We have already asked customer service, the editor, the chief editor, and the contracted editor. This author has also asked the legal department, and the answer we got was that the contract will not be terminated.
Please reply, we are collecting evidence.
(We have a copy of the Qidian contract. In addition, after I signed the contract, I sent it to the other party. I didn't receive a duplicate copy of the contract. In other words, I don't know if the other party signed and confirmed that the contract is effective. The author management system of the novel website only notified me that the contract has been received.)

Answer 1

The termination of a contract usually involved legal issues and breach of contract. Before terminating the contract, you need to read the contents of the contract carefully to understand the conditions and possible consequences of terminating the contract. If you have any questions, you can consult a lawyer or a relevant legal institution.

Under normal circumstances, web novels:

1. Both parties reach an agreement: If both parties have reached an agreement on the contents of the contract, they can terminate the contract through a written agreement.

2. Unitary termination: If one party does not reach a consensus, the contract can be terminated through a written agreement. However, in this case, they would have to bear the responsibility for breach of contract and pay the relevant termination fees.

3. Contract termination: If the contract has expired but both parties have not renewed the contract, it can be automatically terminated. However, in this case, they also had to bear the responsibility for breach of contract and pay the relevant termination fees.

When terminating the contract, you need to pay attention to the provisions of the contract to avoid breach of contract. If he breached the contract, he might face legal proceedings or other serious consequences.
