This Agreement includes any current or future statement of work on the form attached hereto as Attachment A and executed by each party (any “SoW”), and all such documents are incorporated by this reference.

Vendor provides professional services related to all creative services including but not limited to; marketing, social media, print design, graphic design, website hosting, and domain name servicing. The parties have agreed that Vendor will provide such professional services as the parties may agree, now and pursuant to future statements of work. Therefore, in consideration for the commitments set forth below, the adequacy of which consideration the parties hereby acknowledge, the parties agree as follows.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
Vendor shall provide the services set forth in each SoW (“Professional Services”), and Customer shall provide any assistance and cooperation necessary or convenient to facilitate the Professional Services called for in an SoW. Vendor may employ subcontractors in the provision of Professional Services, but Vendor will be responsible and liable for such subcontractor’s acts and omissions related to this Agreement.

DELIVERABLES
2.1. ACCEPTANCE & REJECTION
Deliverables created pursuant to Professional Services (“Deliverables”) will be considered accepted (“Acceptance”) (a) when Customer provides Vendor email notice of acceptance or (b) 14 days after delivery, if Customer has not first provided Vendor with email notice of rejection. Customer may reject a Deliverable only in the event that it materially deviates from its specifications and requirements listed in the applicable SoW and only via written notice or email setting forth the nature of such deviation. In the event of such rejection, Vendor shall correct the deviation and redeliver the Deliverable within 7 days. After redelivery pursuant to the previous sentence, the parties shall again follow the acceptance procedures set forth in this Subsection 2(a). This Subsection 2(a), in conjunction with Customer’s right to terminate for material breach where applicable, sets forth Customer’s only remedy and Vendor’s only liability for failure of Deliverables.

2.2. LICENSE TO DELIVERABLES
Effective upon Acceptance of each Deliverable, full payment, and subject to section (a) below vendor hereby assigns to Customer all vendor’s ownership, right, title, and interest in and to any and all copyrights in assets listed on the Statement of Work (“Deliverables”)

(a) The assignment in the preceding sentence does not include any component of the Work Product created before the Effective Date (any “Pre Existing Asset”).

(b) To the extent that this Section 2 “Deliverables” does not provide Customer with full ownership, right, title, and interest in and to the Work Product, including without limitation Pre Existing Assets, Vendor hereby grants Customer a perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid, royalty-free, worldwide license to reproduce, create derivative works from, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and use the Work Product, with the right to sublicense each and every such right; provided Customer may not: (i) reproduce or use Pre Existing Assets other than as components of the Work Product, (ii) distribute Pre Existing Assets, or (iii) sublicense any rights in Pre Existing Assets to third parties other than in support of Customer’s internal business operations.

2.3. FEES & REIMBURSEMENT
Customer shall pay Vendor the fees as set forth in each SoW except to the extent that the SoW specifically provides to the contrary. Customer shall reimburse the Vendor such expenses as Vendor reasonably incurs in provision of Professional Services. Vendor will not be required to refund fees under any circumstances.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Recipient shall protect Confidential Information with the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information of similar nature and importance, but with no less than reasonable care. Recipient shall promptly notify Discloser of any misuse or misappropriation of Confidential Information that comes to Recipient’s attention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recipient may disclose Confidential Information as required by applicable law or by proper legal or governmental authority. Recipient shall give Discloser prompt notice of any such legal or governmental demand and reasonably cooperate with Discloser in any effort to seek a protective order or otherwise to contest such required disclosure, at Discloser’s expense.

3.2. INJUNCTION
Recipient agrees that breach of this Article 3 would cause Discloser irreparable injury, for which monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation, and that in addition to any other remedy, Discloser will be entitled to injunctive relief against such breach or threatened breach, without proving actual damage or posting a bond or other security.

3.3. TERMINATION & RETURN
With respect to each item of Confidential Information, the obligations of Section 3.1 above (Nondisclosure) will terminate 1 year after the date of disclosure; provided that such obligations related to Confidential Information constituting Discloser’s trade secrets will continue so long as such information remains subject to trade secret protection pursuant to applicable law.
