Warranty
EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS ATTACHMENT B, CONTRACTOR DISCLAIMS ANY
AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, SUITABILITY, COMPLETENESS OR RESULTS TO BE DERIVED FROM THE
WORK.
In the event a party is required to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to
a judicial or other governmental order, such party shall, to the maximum extent
permitted by law or opinion of counsel, provide the other party with prompt
notice prior to any disclosure so that the party or its client may seek other legal
remedies to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information.
Each party receiving Confidential Information shall be responsible for any
breach of this provision that is caused by any of its employees, affiliates,
representatives or agents and such party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the other party from and against any liabilities, claims, damages, losses, costs
and expenses resulting, directly or indirectly, from any breach by a party, or any
of its employees or independent contractors, of any provision of this Agreement.
The obligations of this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement for a
period of 3 years.
Contractor agrees that the deliverables and materials developed pursuant to
this Agreement (including, without limitation, all presentations, writings, ideas,
concepts, designs, text, plans, and other materials that Contractor conceives and
develops pursuant to this Agreement, including all materials incorporated
therein whether such materials were conceived or created by Contractor
individually or jointly, on or off the premises of Client, or during or after working
time) shall be treated as if the development of such deliverable constitutes a
“work for hire” and shall be owned by Client upon payment of all fees due to
Contractor pursuant to this Agreement.
In the event that any such material is considered not to be a “work made for
hire,” Contractor hereby assigns all ownership (whether represented or not by a
registered patent, copyright, trade secret) and other proprietary or rights, title
and interest in such deliverables and materials to Client, and agrees to execute
such documents as Client may reasonably request, in order to assist Client in
obtaining and protecting such rights.
Contractor agrees that Contractor has no interest in any materials that
Contractor submits to Client, including, without limitation, any security interest
therein, and hereby releases to Client any interest therein (if any) which may be
created by operation of law. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing and as
necessary in the performance of this Agreement, Contractor shall have no rights
to license, sell or use the deliverables or materials developed under this
Agreement, or any portion thereof.
Relationship of Parties
Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause,
upon 1

pay Contractor any and all sums which are due and payable for: (i) services
provided as of the date of termination; and (ii) expenses already incurred,
including those from documented non-cancelable commitments. Contractor
agrees to use the best efforts to minimize such costs and expenses.
Termination for any reason shall not affect the rights granted to Client by
Contractor hereunder. Upon termination, Client shall pay to Contractor all
undisputed amounts due and payable. If upon termination Client has not paid
undisputed fees owed for the material, deliverables or Services provided by
Contractor as of the date of termination, Client agrees not to use any such
material or the product of such Service, until Client has paid Contractor in full.
Any provisions or clause in this Contract that, by its language or context, implies
its survival shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Contractor shall
retain a perfected security interest in the deliverable or material until Client has
made payment in full for all undisputed amounts as of the termination date.
Contractor hereby agrees to release and waive its security interest in the
deliverable and material upon receipt of full payment for all undisputed
amounts.

business days of receipt. In case of overdue payments, Contractor reserves the
right to stop work until payment is received.

authorized in writing by Client in advance; payable within 5 business days of
itemized invoice.

Any material changes to the Services, including work to be performed and
related fees must be approved by the prior written consent of both parties.
Contractor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Client from any and
all claims, actions, damages, and liabilities (excluding, without limitation,
attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) arising (i) through Contractor’s gross
negligence ; (ii) out of any claim that the materials or deliverables, or any portion
thereof, in fact infringes upon or violate any proprietary rights of any third party,

thereof in fact infringes upon or violate any proprietary rights of any third party,
including but not limited to patent, copyright and trade secret rights; or (iii) from

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWABLE BY LAW, CONTRACTOR SHALL NOT BE
LIABLE TO THE CLIENT FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT,
SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST
PROFIT, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR THE LIKE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS

PAID BY CLIENT TO THE CONTRACTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
Both Parties agree that when asked, Client must properly identify Contractor as
the creator of the deliverables. Client does not have a proactive duty to display
Contractor’s name together with the deliverables, but Client may not seek to
mislead others that the deliverables were created by anyone other than
Contractor.
Client hereby agrees Contractor may use the work product as part of
Contractors portfolio and websites, galleries and other media solely for the
purpose of showcasing Contractors work but not for any other purpose.
Contractor will not publish any confidential or non-public work without Client’s
prior written consent.
This Agreement and any dispute arising hereunder shall be governed by the
laws of the jurisdiction of Contractor’s primary business location (the
“Contractor’s Jurisdiction”), without regard to the conflicts of law provisions
thereof. For all purposes of this Agreement, the Parties consent to exclusive
jurisdiction and venue in the courts located in the Contractor’s jurisdiction.
Force Majeure
No failure or omission by a party in the performance of any obligation under this
Agreement shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement or create any liability if
such failure or omission shall arise from any cause or causes beyond the
reasonable control of such party which cannot be overcome through that party’s
reasonable diligence, e.g., strikes, riots, war, acts of terrorism, acts of God,
severe illness, invasion, fire, explosion, floods and acts of government or
governmental agencies or instrumentalities.
Notices
Miscellaneous
The section and subsection headings used in this Agreement are for
convenience only and will not be used in interpreting this Agreement. Both
parties have had the opportunity to review this Agreement and neither party will
be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for the purposes of interpreting any
ambiguity in this Agreement. The parties agree that this Agreement may be
signed by manual or facsimile signatures and in counterparts, each of which will
be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one and the
same instrument. In the event that any provision of this Agreement will be
determined to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be first revised to
give the maximum permissible effect to its original intent or, if such revision is
not permitted, that specific provision will be eliminated so that this Agreement
will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
Entire Contract
This Agreement, along with this Attachment B, and any exhibits, schedules or
attachments, between the Parties supersedes any previous arrangements, oral
or written, and may not be modified in any respect except by a future written
agreement signed by both Parties.
