Unmonetize all videos

Hi everybody!
Let me introduce myself, my name is Marco, I'm 28, and I'm a YouTuber since 2007.
I signed a 2 year contract with buzzmyvideos more or less 1 year ago, and I absolutely don't want to stay with them until next year. No way.
I'm doing my best since 4-5 months to terminate the contract, and of course they say it is not possible. So I decided to unmonetize all of my videos, and I'd like to ask you a couple of things: first of all, do I just have to select the "Track in all countries" option in every video, instead of "Claim and monetize worldwide"? Is it possible that they could earn in any way from my videos if the "track in all countries" option is selected? Could I have any kind of trouble that I'm not taking in count?
Of course, if anyone has any suggestion, is deeply appreciated. :)

Thank you!!
Marco
 
As @Gabriel Stated above, once you sign a contract, you are legally bound to it, but why in the world do you not want to earn money? Also they won't really notice you un-monetizing your content.....
 
Because, actually, we could terminate the contract, since there's a paragraph that states that either party may terminate the contract by providing 60 days' notice in writing. They do not want to terminate the contract because they earn from my videos, so yes, if I unmonetize my videos I won't take anymore money (that is something like 30-50 $ every two months...), but they won't too. Since they always replied to my requests of termination of the contract, I'd write them to let them know about the unmonetization.

Well i see what you are trying to do,

but if the network you signed with has bigger channels than yours that make thousands of bucks they probably won't notice you unmonetizing your videos.

Since you want to unmonetize, the best you can do is make your videos private, but i wouldn't reccommend it because all your hard work will lose views, but the network won't earn money no views= no money.

What is so bad about them that makes you want to terminate the contract anyways?
 
You shouldn't have signed the contract... :O_o2:

I can't tell without reading the contract myself; are you sure there are not other requirements to the termination clause? Make sure you read those thoroughly because contracts can be made to be very specific.

They could bulk claim your videos again in two seconds flat :D

This, I would leave some videos unmonetized since they had low views, but by the next day they were monetize. So I would just wait out your contract and keep the little you earn now.
 
If you were not monetizing it, they probably would bulk claim your videos anyway, which often happens. My advice is next time, if your signing a contract, do the research. :) Wait out your current one and terminate it when you can, all you can do I'm afraid.
