I've been asked to sign a contract with a woman's mag for my short story, but can't understand most of it. Where can I find out what all the jargon means?

or Google e.g. DCT Contract and I daresay it will have been discussed.
The most important thing will be what it means for you, in terms of re-use/resale etc.
'exclusive' - means them only.
'non-exclusive' - means you and them.
All rights/formats (now and in future) means everything, whether you can use the work elsewhere or in another format could depend on the exclusivity or non-exclusivity.
Boredrobots? Do you mean send bits of contract? If so then 'Moral rights' what's that?
