Hi again jevive. OH came home and I've asked him to go through the fine detail. He is not a lawyer (annoyingly), but was an analyst, so pretty good at going through the fine detail. After having a quick read through myself (properly this time I did see that it was actually written to be 'opaque'! or as clear as mud! On a general level; people who are creative, so paint, write, act, musical, by their very nature, find it difficult to also be smart regarding the legalities of contracts, finances, etc. One of my sons is an actor/musician and if you try to pin him down with the importance of keeping track of his bank account, or any contracts signed, he starts humming, looking out of the window and picking his nose! Luckily now, he has an agent but it's easy to see how people who shoot to stardom because they are talented get shafted by being remiss with who is in charge of what they sign and where their money ends up! Not that I consider myself to be in that category! or will end up needing Elton John's legal team for my sad little offering of my children's tale!!!! (think we can safely assume I won't be writing any highly acclaimed books on law!). Anyway, up to you if you submit right now but I'm certainly going to see what my OH thinks after going through it and may not submit the rest of the book if I think it really is a situation where they will take advantage of genuine, trusting, wannabe authors.
