The publisher is obliged to carry out or have carried out the manufacture or production in digital form under the conditions, in the form and according to the modes of expression provided for in the contract.
He may not, without written authorisation from the author, make any changes to the work.
He must, unless otherwise agreed, display on each of the copies or on the work produced in digital form the name, pseudonym or trademark of the author.
In the absence of a special agreement, the publisher must complete the edition within a period set by the practices of the profession.
In the event of a fixed-term contract, the rights of the assignee are extinguished ipso jure on expiry of the period without the need for formal notice.
The publisher may, however, for a period of three years after this expiry, dispose of the copies remaining in stock at the normal price, unless the author prefers to purchase these copies at a price to be fixed by expert opinion in the absence of amicable agreement, without this option granted to the first publisher prohibiting the author from having a new edition made within a period of thirty months.
