Out of Print. Either party may terminate this Agreement, effective 30 days after written notification of termination to the other party, if (a) the Publisher sends written notification to the Author of a decision to put the Work out of print, or (b) the work is available only in electronic or digital versions and/or in a print-on-demand format, and the Author’s royalties and subsidiary rights income from the Work total less than $100 in a single royalty accounting period. The parties’ respective obligations to pay any sums owed to the other under the terms of this Agreement will survive any termination of the Agreement.
Out of Print. If Publisher finds that the sale of The Book, in print format, reaches a point not justifying reprinting, it shall have the right to declare The Book as out of print. Publisher shall advise Author of this declaration, and Author shall have the right for thirty (30) days from such notice date to request copies of the electronic files, if any, of The Book and, if Author so desires, to purchase any remaining stock, if any, of The Book at manufacturing cost plus shipping charges. If Author fails to request the electronic files or fails to purchase any remaining stock, Publisher may dispose of any such files, and books without further liability for royalties. If Publisher, in Publisher’s sole discretion, determines that further publication or dissemination of The Book in any format is not in Publisher’s best interest, then Publisher shall have the right to declare The Book as out of print and cancel this Agreement; provided, however, that no such declaration may be made by Publisher earlier than three years following first publication of The Book. A declaration that The Book is out of print will not relieve Publisher of its obligations to pay Royalties owed by Publisher to Author under Section 8. When The Book has been declared out of print, all publishing rights return to Author, excluding any outstanding licenses under this Agreement.
Out of Print. If, after the expiration of one (1) year from the date of Random House’s first publication of the Work, the Work is out-of-print, the Proprietor may make written demand to Random House to reissue or license rights in the Work. Random House shall notify the Proprietor in writing within sixty (60) days after its receipt of a demand whether it intends to comply. If Random House does not respond or if, within six (6) months of its notice that it intends to comply, Random House has not complied by reissuing the Work or entering into a sublicense for a new edition with a sublicensee who shall then reissue the Work, then the rights with regard to such title shall terminate and all rights to that title granted to Random House shall revert to the Proprietor. Such reverted titles may be published by TPR itself, subject to Random House’s reasonable and prior written approval, which shall be based on whether the publication of such reverted title will impair the value of any of the rights granted to Random House under the Agreement. Upon termination, the Proprietor shall have the right for thirty (30) days to purchase the plates or film, if any, at one-fourth (1/4th) of the cost (including typesetting). For the purposes of this paragraph, the Work shall be considered in print if it is available for sale in the United States in a full length English language edition or if a contract for its publication by a sublicensee of Random House for publication within eighteen (18) months is outstanding. This Paragraph 24 shall not apply to Annuity Titles.

In the event of the Publishers’ failure to revive sales of the Translation to the Reversion Level within such 6 (six) months, the Owner shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement forthwith by notice to the Publishers, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate.

The Editor's requirement that the Work be reprinted shall be regarded as satisfied if at the time of the Editor's giving notice the Publisher has sub-leased rights for an edition scheduled for publication within twelve months of such notice being given.
Out of Print. The Author agrees that, if the sales of this Work decrease to such an extent that in the opinion of the Publisher it is no longer profitable for the Publisher to continue this work in print, the book may be allowed to go “out of print”, in which case this Agreement shall terminate and all rights to the work not already disposed of will revert back to the Author. The Author shall have first option to purchase any remaining unsold copies of the Work at the manufacture price (the cost of typesetting, printing, and binding).
Out of Print. Should the Publisher at any time allow the Work to go out of print, the Author shall be entitled by notice in writing to request them to publish a reprint or a further edition, and in the event of their failing either to publish a reprint within six months of such a request or to offer within three months to publish a further edition, all rights not disposed of shall revert to the Author, who shall be free to license any other person to publish the Work, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any part of this Agreement.
Out of Print. If at any time the Publisher determines that demand or changes in conditions do not justify continued publication of the Work, the Author may request return of rights (these rights will be returned unless the Publisher agrees to issue a new printing within six months after the request), and may purchase any existing plates or negatives of the Work and original artwork, as well as the Publisher’s stock at cost.
