Embargo

Embargoes are standard in tech, gaming and film, where reviewers get a product or a screener early on the understanding that nothing publishes until an agreed moment. The company gets a coordinated wave of coverage on launch day. You get time to do the work properly. Breaking one rarely involves lawyers. It involves being dropped from the list, which for a channel built on early access is the more expensive outcome. Get the exact time and timezone in writing, then check your scheduled slot against it.
