    You should define if they're allowed to re-use your design for other work outside the original scope. And then describe the cost structure of using the work in other derivative work, you don't have to be specific but at least get them to sign on the fact that it has to be negotiated prior to them being allowed to use it for other projects.

    On the flip side, I have this paragraph regarding ownership whenever I sign a contractor:

    "The Contractor agrees that all designs, computer software or ideas of whatever kind developed in whole or in part by him/her during the term of this Agreement shall be and remain the exclusive property of the Company." etc.
