or local laws, regulations and executive orders, (ii) will not result
in a breach by CreativeHub of any obligation to a third party; and (iii)
will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner. In the
event of any breach of this warranty by Creative Hub, Business’s sole
remedy and CreativeHub’s sole liability is to re-perform the Services

SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL BE Business'S SOLE REMEDIES WITH RESPECT
TO THE WARRANTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES,
EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED AND EXCLUDED,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY
OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE or non-infringement. No employee,
agent, representative or affiliate of CreativeHub has the authority
to bind CreativeHub to any additional representations or warranty concerning
the Services, and any representation or warranty not expressly contained
in this Agreement will not be enforceable.
- Trademark, Copyright Clearances.
ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES REGARDING THE CREATIVE CONTENT ARE MADE, IF AT
ALL, BY THE CREATIVE AND NOT BY CREATIVEHUB, WHICH DISCLAIMS ANY AND
ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY REGARDING THE CREATIVE
CONTENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY,
NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CREATIVEHUB DOES
NOT CONDUCT ANY TRADEMARK OR COPYRIGHT SEARCHES, OR ANY OTHER INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY CLEARANCES WITH RESPECT TO ANY CREATIVE CONTENT. CreativeHub
recommends that Business conduct any and all appropriate intellectual
property searches prior to licensing or using Creative Content.
- Indemnification by
CreativeHub. Except with respect to Creative Content, CreativeHub
shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Business and its directors,
officers, employees, and agents from and against all damages, costs
(including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments and other expenses
arising out of or on account of any third party claim alleging that
CreativeHub’s Services or Deliverables, in the form delivered to Business
by CreativeHub, infringe or misappropriate the U.S. patent, copyright,
trademark or other intellectual property rights of any third party,
except to the extent that such infringement results from the inclusion
of Business Content in the Services or a Deliverable or pursuant to
specifications provided by Business. CreativeHub's obligation
to indemnify Business requires that Business notify CreativeHub promptly
in writing of any claim as to which indemnification will be sought and
provide to CreativeHub reasonable cooperation in the defense and settlement
thereof. CreativeHub will have the exclusive right to defend any
such claim, and Business may not settle or compromise such claim without
the prior written consent of CreativeHub. In the event any such
claim is brought or threatened, CreativeHub may, at its sole option
and expense (1) procure for Business the right to continue receiving
the Services and using the Deliverables or the allegedly infringing
item, or (2) modify or amend the Services or Deliverables or allegedly
infringing item, or replace the Services or Deliverables or allegedly
infringing item with other Services or Deliverables having substantially
the same or better capabilities. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION
ARE BUSINESS'S SOLE REMEDIES AND CREATIVEHUB’S SOLE LIABILITY WITH
RESPECT TO AN INFRINGEMENT CLAIM AGAINST BUSINESS.
- Limited Warranties by
Business; Indemnification. Where Business provides CreativeHub
with instructions to use or insert into the Services or Deliverables,
any Business Content, including but not limited to Business Marks, product
specifications or product representations, Business warrants to CreativeHub
that Business has all necessary rights and licenses to use, and to have
CreativeHub use on Business's behalf, such Business Content. Business
agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless CreativeHub and its directors,
officers, employees, and agents from and against all damages, costs
(including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments and other expenses
arising out of or on account of any third party claim alleging that
the Business Content, or CreativeHub's use of such materials at Business's
direction, or CreativeHub’s compliance with Business’s specifications,
or any use of or modifications to any Creative Content, Deliverables
or Services, infringes or misappropriates the U.S. patent, copyright,
trademark or other proprietary or intellectual property rights of any
third party, or constitutes unfair competition or an unfair business
act, or is libelous or violates privacy rights. Business's obligation
to indemnify CreativeHub requires that CreativeHub notify Business promptly
in writing of any claim as to which indemnification will be sought and
provide Business reasonable cooperation in the defense and settlement
thereof. Business will have the exclusive right to defend any
such claim, and CreativeHub may not settle or compromise such claim
without the prior written consent of Business.
- No Consequential Damages.
EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS RELATING TO (A) EITHER PARTY’S INTENTIONAL BREACH
OF CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR INJURY TO PERSONS
OR DAMAGE TO REAL OR TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY, AND (B) EITHER PARTY'S
OBLIGATIONS TO INDEMNIFY THE OTHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT: IN NO
EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR LOST PROFITS, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OF ANY KIND
(INCLUDING COSTS OF COVER) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR IN THE COURSE
OF CREATIVEHUB PROVIDING ANY SERVICES TO THE BUSINESS, WHETHER BASED
IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), INTENDED CONDUCT OR OTHERWISE,
EVEN IF THAT PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OR DAMAGE TO REAL OR TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY AND (B) EITHER PARTY'S
OBLIGATIONS TO INDEMNIFY THE OTHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT: THE AGGREGATE
AMOUNT OF ANY LIABILITY OF ONE PARTY TO THE OTHER FOR ANY CLAIM(S) ARISING
FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED, IN ANY EVENT, THE
AMOUNTS PAID OR PAYABLE TO CREATIVEHUB (NET OF ANY REIMBURSABLE OR OVERAGE
EXPENSES) UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO WHICH THE LIABILITY RELATES FOR THE
PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES UP TO THE DATE OF THE LIABILITY CAUSING EVENT.
- Confidentiality; Non-Solicitation,
Non-Competition
6.1.1 During
the course of this Agreement, each Party (the “Receiving Party”)
may be given access to confidential and proprietary information of the
other Party (and its subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates and third party
associates) (the “Disclosing Party”).
6.1.2 “Confidential
Information” shall mean information, including trade secrets, know-how,
proprietary information, formulae, processes, techniques and information
relating to the Disclosing Party’s past, present and future marketing,
financial, research and development activities, and personally identifiable
information about users, employees, shareholders, suppliers, consultants,
competitors and customers, that may be disclosed, whether orally or
in writing, to the Receiving Party, or that may be otherwise received
or accessed by the Receiving Party in the course of performing this
Agreement. “Confidential Information” shall not include information
that the Receiving Party can prove is or was: (i) previously known to
the Receiving Party without an obligation of confidence; (ii) independently
developed by or for the Receiving Party without use of the Confidential
Information; (iii) acquired by the Receiving Party from a third party
which is not under an obligation of confidence with respect to such
information; or (iv) which is or becomes publicly available through
no breach of this Agreement.
6.1.3 The
Receiving Party shall only use or disclose the Confidential Information
for purposes of and in connection with this Agreement. Each Party
agrees to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information
of the Disclosing Party for a period not to exceed five (5) years from
initial disclosure in the same manner that it protects the confidentiality
of its own proprietary and confidential information of like kind, but
in no event shall either Party exercise less than reasonable care in
protecting such Confidential Information. Access to the Confidential
Information shall be restricted to (a) CreativeHub personnel and Business’s
personnel (including such personnel employed by subsidiaries, divisions,
affiliates or third party associates) engaged in a use permitted hereby
and (b) third party service providers of Business or CreativeHub solely
for use in connection with the provision of services to Business. <
6.1.4 The
Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing
Party as required to comply with any law or as required by any administrative
or regulatory agency or body. The Receiving Party shall not duplicate
any material containing Confidential Information except in the direct
performance of its obligations under this Agreement. The Receiving Party
shall return all copies of materials containing Confidential Information
upon reasonable request of the Disclosing Party or upon any earlier
termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever. If the
Receiving Party receives a subpoena or other validly issued administrative
or judicial process demanding Confidential Information, it shall promptly
notify the Disclosing Party of such receipt and tender to it the defense
of such demand. After providing such notification, the Receiving
Party shall be entitled to comply with such subpoena or other process
to the extent permitted by law.
- Non-Solicitation.
During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of twelve (12) months
following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, neither Party
shall directly or indirectly hire or employ any of the other Party's
employees unless such employee ceased being an employee of the other
Party twelve or more months prior to hiring.
- Non-Competition.
During the term of this Agreement, Business will not directly, or indirectly,
on a worldwide basis, compete with the business or patronage of CreativeHub.
Business agrees not to use any Confidential Information or Services
provided by CreativeHub hereunder for the purpose of launching or operating,
directly, or indirectly, a content-generation business designed to compete
with the business of CreativeHub. If the scope or enforceability
of either of these restrictive covenants is in any way disputed at any
time, each Party authorizes the relevant court to modify and enforce
the covenant(s) to the extent such court deems reasonable under the
circumstances existing at that time, with the balance of this Agreement
remaining in full force and effect.
- Intellectual Property Rights
- Business Intellectual Property
Rights. Business owns all right, title and interest
in and to, all of its Intellectual Property independently developed
by Business, prior to, during, or after the Term of this Agreement (collectively,
"Business Content"). To the extent CreativeHub requires
the use of any Business Content to perform Services for Business, Business
grants CreativeHub a non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable,
revocable license to use such Business Content for, and solely in connection
with, those Services.
- CreativeHub
Intellectual Property Rights. CreativeHub and its licensors
shall retain all right, title and interest in and to all CreativeHub
Intellectual Property, which includes items owned by CreativeHub prior
to commencement of the Services, know how, techniques, technologies,
methods, concepts, databases, inventions and programs used by CreativeHub
in its business. For any Deliverables that either include CreativeHub
Intellectual Property, or rely on CreativeHub Intellectual Property
for their exploitation, CreativeHub grants to Business and its successors
and assigns a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide license
to utilize the CreativeHub Intellectual Property as part of the specific
Deliverables developed for the specific Business Advertising Program
and delivered to Business, without additional cost.
- Creative Intellectual Property
Rights. For purposes of clarity, each Creative retains all
right, title and interest in and to all Creative Content that such Creative
submits for each Project. Unless or until Business reaches an
independent agreement with a Creative, Business has no license, right,
title or interest in the Creative Content of that Creative.
- Cooperation.
Each Party shall cooperate with the other, and execute additional documents
as reasonably necessary or desirable, to vest the rights of the Parties
as described in this Section 7.
- Publicity. Business
may at its sole discretion, if asked by CreativeHub and in each case
subject to the Business's prior written approval: (a) participate in
a joint press release with CreativeHub; (b) agree to have the Business's
name and logo included in CreativeHub's marketing materials and web
site; (c) provide written testimonial as to Business's success with
CreativeHub services; and (d) allow CreativeHub to use Business as a
reference client. Both Parties further agree not to issue or discuss
the pricing under this Agreement with any third party without the prior
written consent of the other Party.
- Entire Agreement; Amendment.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between
the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes
any previous agreements or understandings, whether oral or written.
This Agreement may only be amended or modified by a writing signed by
the Parties.
- Controlling Law.
This Agreement and all questions relating to its validity, interpretation,
performance and enforcement, shall be governed by and construed, interpreted
and enforced in accordance with the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
notwithstanding any conflict-of-law provisions to the contrary.
- Headings; Interpretation.
Headings and captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and
are not to be used to interpret this Agreement. This Agreement
will be interpreted fairly in accordance with its terms and conditions
and without any strict construction in favor of or against either Party.
- Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement is found to be illegal or unenforceable,
then, notwithstanding such finding, this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect and such provision shall be deemed stricken or modified
to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable; provided, however,
that the intent of the parties when entering into this Agreement is
maintained.
- Binding Nature of Agreement;
Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns. Neither Party may assign or transfer its rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the other Party’s prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
However, either Party may assign this Agreement to any entity it acquires,
is acquired by, or merges with the Party.
- Waiver. The failure
of either Party to enforce at any time any of the provisions hereof
or exercise any right or option hereunder shall not be construed to
be a waiver of the right of such Party thereafter to enforce any such
provisions or exercise such right or option. Any consent by any
Party to, or waiver of, a breach by the other, shall not constitute
a consent to, waiver of, or excuse of any other different or subsequent
breach.
- Force Majeure.
Neither Party will incur any liability to the other Party on account
of any loss or damage resulting from any delay or failure to perform
(other than payment of money or breach of confidentiality requirements)
if such delay or failure is caused, in whole or in part, by events,
occurrences, or causes beyond the control and without negligence or
fault of the Party to be excused due to a force majeure event.
Such events, occurrences or causes will include, without limitation,
acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, earthquakes, fire
and explosions.
- Notices. All
notices will be in writing and delivered to the addresses set forth
above or at such other address as either Party specifies in writing.
Notices will be deemed effectively given: (a) upon five (5) business
days after being sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid,
return receipt requested; (b) upon the next business day after being
sent overnight by a major U.S. overnight document courier; or (c) upon
receipt of confirmation following transmission via the internet by electronic
mail or by a facsimile machine if sent on a business day during business
hours (otherwise, deemed received six hours after the beginning of the
next business day) if followed by a hard copy sent by mail using one
of the delivery methods in (a) or (b) above.
- Counterparts; Faxes.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which so executed
will be deemed to be an original and such counterparts together will
constitute one and the same agreement. The parties may execute
this Agreement by exchange of fax signatures, or by manifesting assent
via electronic signatures.
