2. PERMITTED PURPOSE

The Licensed Content and Confidential Information is solely for the Users’ internal business purposes to assist in the engagement, contracting, and retention of high net worth individuals and clients by the contracting Member (the “Permitted Purpose”). User acknowledges that the pricing used for User is dependent on the scope of the Permitted Purpose and the number of Users. As such, should User use the Licensed Content and Confidential Information in a manner beyond the Permitted Purpose, such as making the Licensed Content and Confidential Information, available to affiliates or unauthorized users, then User will be charged additional fees.

3. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Company retains, and shall at all times retain, the sole and exclusive right to, title to, and interest in, all rights associated with the Licensed Content and Confidential Information, of whatever nature anywhere in the world (registered or unregistered) including copyright, design rights, know-how, trade secrets, technology, systems, methods, expertise, patents, data base rights, trademarks and trade names or any other intellectual property in connection with the Agreements (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”), and no User shall acquire any rights to, title to, or interest in, any portion of the Intellectual Property. Each User further agree that such User shall not remove any copyright, trademark, trade name, or similar notice contained in the Intellectual Property. The Company may alter, modify all or any part of the Confidential Information and/or Intellectual Property as the Company considers necessary or appropriate, in its sole discretion. No User shall modify, adapt, disclose, or make available to third parties, extract or publish, create any derivative works for third parties, reverse engineer, disassemble or decompile, in each case, in whole or in part, any portion of the Confidential Information. Each User agree that all work product of any type or kind whatsoever, whether tangible or intangible, which the Company invents, creates, composes, authors, discovers or otherwise produces for any User under this Agreement shall not be considered works made for hire to the fullest extent accorded the meaning of that term under any copyright laws of the United States or any other jurisdiction, or under any other applicable statutes, case law, common law, and/or common usage (collectively “Copyright Laws”). If and to the extent any work product hereunder constitutes a work made for hire as so defined under any Copyright Laws, each User hereby irrevocably grants, assigns and transfers all rights, title, and interest of any kind in and to such work product to the Company. The Company’s rights and each User’s obligations under this section and section 5 below shall be continuing and shall survive the expiration or termination of the Agreements by either party for any reason.

4. LICENSE

Upon entering into the Membership Agreement, the Company grants each User a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, fully revocable, non-sublicenseable license to use the Intellectual Property for the Permitted Purpose during the Term of the Membership Agreement. The Company reserves the right to revoke the licenses at any time at its sole discretion, for violations of the Membership Agreement. At the completion of the Term, the User agrees to destroy, deleted, and otherwise obliterate any Licensed Content and Confidential Information in User’s possession.

5. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

You and your Users shall keep the Confidential Information confidential and shall not use any of the Confidential Information other than solely for the Permitted Purpose and not in any manner that is detrimental to the Company. You shall direct all of your Users on the confidential nature of the Confidential Information. You shall cause all of your controlled Users, and direct all of your third-party Users, to adhere to the non-use and non-disclosure obligations under these Terms as if they were parties hereto. You shall promptly notify the Company of any breach of this these Terms or the Membership Agreement by you or your Users of which you have knowledge, and shall fully cooperate with the Company in any effort to enforce the Company’s rights in relation to any such breach. You shall be responsible for any breach of these Terms or the Membership Agreement by any of your Users. You shall (at your sole expense) undertake all commercially reasonable precautions to safeguard and protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and restrain your Users from prohibited or unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information. Without the prior written approval of the Company (except as required by applicable law, rules, regulations or other applicable legal process (collectively, “Law”) or requested by United States governmental authority), you shall not, and shall direct your Users not to, disclose to any person (other than your Users who have a need to know), all or any portion of the Confidential Information, that the Confidential Information has been made available to you or your Users or any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to the Agreements. In the event that you or any of your Users are required by Law or requested by United States governmental authority to disclose all or any part of the Confidential Information, you shall promptly, to the extent legal, use best efforts to notify the Company in writing of the request so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the applicable provisions of the Agreements. You shall cooperate reasonably (and shall cause your relevant Users to cooperate reasonably) with the Company in its efforts to obtain a protective order. You also agree, to the extent legally permissible, to provide (and to cause your relevant Users to provide) the Company, in advance of any such disclosure, with a list of any Confidential Information you (or your relevant Users) intend to disclose (and, if applicable, the text of the disclosure language itself). In the absence of such protective order or other remedy or such receipt of a waiver by the Company, if you are nonetheless required by Law or requested by United States governmental authority (as reasonably determined in the opinion of your counsel) to disclose the Confidential Information, you may disclose only such minimal portion of the Confidential Information as is required by Law or requested by United States governmental authority; provided, however, that you shall cooperate reasonably (and shall cause your relevant Users to cooperate reasonably) with the Company in its efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Confidential Information.

Nothing contained in the Agreements shall be construed as granting you or any of your Users any rights, by license or otherwise, to any Confidential Information, other than as expressly set forth herein. However, the term “Confidential Information” does not include any information that (a) at the time of disclosure, is, or thereafter becomes, known and available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by you or any of your Users, (b) is already in your or your Users possession or becomes available to you or any of your Users on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or its representatives, agents or advisors (provided, however, that such source is not bound by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Company or any of its affiliates with respect to such information) or (c) has been independently developed by you or your Users without violation of these Terms and without any reference to or use of any Confidential Information.Money damages and other remedies at law would not be a sufficient remedy for any actual or threatened breach by you or any of your Users of any agreements contained in these Terms, and therefore the seeking of specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief shall be a right and entitlement of the Company as a remedy for any actual or threatened breach of these Terms without proof of actual damages or irreparable harm. You shall waive, and shall direct your Users to waive, any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with equitable relief sought by a party pursuant to the foregoing sentence. The foregoing remedies shall not be exclusive, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity to the Company. In the event of litigation between you and the Company in connection with the Agreements, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines a final, non-appealable order, then the non-prevailing party shall reimburse the prevailing party for its reasonable costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred in connection with such litigation.

6. TERM AND TERMINATION

Your Membership Agreement shall continue for the period noted therein (the “Term“) unless terminated earlier upon receipt of due written notice (as set forth below) prior to the conclusion of the Term. Either your or the Company may terminate the Membership Agreement for any reason with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice after the first ninety (90) days of the Term. Either party may terminate this Agreement effective immediately in the event of a material breach.

7. INVOICING AND PAYMENT

You agree to pay the fee set forth in the Membership Agreement for access to the Confidential Information and for the provision of any Services during the Term (“License Fee”). All Services, Confidential Information, and deliverables (if any) shall be deemed accepted by you and your Users upon receipt. License Fees shall be payable net thirty (30) days from receipt of invoice, unless otherwise stated in the Membership Agreement. Should you fail to pay on time, we reserve the right to charge you an additional 1.5% per month late fee. Such fee may be amended on any renewal of the Membership Agreement or as otherwise agreed to in writing by you and the Company. The License Fee is stated exclusive of any applicable sales, use, or other taxes or surcharges chargeable thereon and you shall pay such taxes, surcharges and the License Fee in full and without deduction, set-off or withholding of any kind. If you are under any legal obligation to make any withholding or deduction against the License Fee, it shall be deemed to be grossed by an amount equal to such withholding or deduction such that the net amount that you shall pay to the Company shall always be equal to the License Fee as set out in the invoice provided to you by the Company. The License Fee is due one quarter in advance, unless otherwise stated in the Membership Agreement. You shall reimburse to the Company any pre-approved out of pocket expenses incurred by the Company or its representatives in connection with the provision of the Services or otherwise under the Agreements.

Miscellaneous.

The headings in the Agreements are for convenience only and shall not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of the Agreements.
