1. Services Provided by Barketing Unleashed

BU will provide the services set forth in the attached “Scope of Work” pursuant to the terms set forth in this agreement. Client agrees that the Scope of Work has been agreed upon between the parties and is the basis for DRM’s bid on the work. BU will not alter the Scope of Work without a written change order. Any change order may change the timelines for delivery of work and/or the amount charged for the work. BU may subcontract or assign the work to be performed to any employee or service provider that it chooses at its sole discretion so long as that person/provider is bound to the duties of confidentiality, non-disclosure, non-solicitation set out in this agreement.

2. Warranty of Ownership/Control

Each of the parties warrants that any artwork, copy, text, design, photograph, graphic, software or other material subject to intellectual property rights/protections (collectively the “Site Materials”) that is provided to the other party for inclusion in the work shall not be subject to any cost, fee, license, royalty or other charge without the express written permission of the party to whom the Site Materials are provided.

3.Work for Hire

Any work produced by BU for Client shall be deemed “work for hire” as that term is construed in copyright law. Client will own all rights to use the work for any purpose once BU’s work has been delivered to, accepted by and paid for in full by Client. To the extent that the work is not deemed work for hire, once the work has been delivered to, accepted by and paid for in full by Client, BU grants Client a worldwide royalty free license to the work. Provided, however, that any such license shall not be deemed to create a license or right to use any work that is owned or controlled by any other person or entity beyond the rights to use and control that work as granted by the other person or entity.

4. Payment by Client

Unless different terms are set out in the Scope of Work, all invoices submitted by BU to Client are due upon receipt. They are considered past due if not paid within 15 days of the invoice. Any sums past due will be charged a late fee at the rate of 2% per month charged in advance on the first day past due. For instance, if an invoice for $100 is presented to Client on the first day of the month, it is due before the close of business on the fifteenth of the month. If it is not paid, on the sixteenth of the month the late fee of 2% is immediately added to the invoice making the total due on the sixteenth $102. The late fees are charged each succeeding month the invoice remains unpaid and are charged on the total amount (including prior late fees) then due. If BU elects to take legal action to collect the amounts due from Client, BU may recover any costs, fees (including attorneys’ fees) or expenses incurred in the collection, regardless of whether it actually files a lawsuit. Further, BU may elect to defer, postpone or terminate all work on Client’s project if timely payment is not received from Client. Any payment by the Client sent to BU will be considered acceptance of adequate and acceptable design work. It is the responsibility of the Client to make all change requests within the "Scope Of Work" set forth and to verify that design work including functionality and visual look, prior to making final payment.

5. Client Materials/Input/Feedback

Most projects undertaken by BU require certain materials, Client input or Client Feedback in order to progress. If Client fails to provide such materials, input, or feedback after having been requested by BU to do so, BU may elect to defer, postpone or terminate work on the Client’s project until the materials, input or feedback are received from Client. The delay caused by Client’s failure to provide the materials, input or feedback shall be automatically added to the projected delivery date for the project.

The receiving party shall not copy, extract, reverse engineer, disassemble, or decompile any documents, materials, prototypes, software, or other objects, which are found within the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

8.Exceptions to Restrictions

11. Non-Solicitation (Employees/Contractors)

During the term of this AGREEMENT and for a period one (1) year from the date of the termination of this AGREEMENT, the parties shall not, individually or with others, directly or indirectly (including without limitation, individually or through any business, venture, proprietorship, partnership, or corporation in which it controls or owns any interest, through any agents, through any contractors, through recruiters, by their successors, by its employees, or by its assignees) recruit or solicit any employee, contractor, or consultant or induce any employee, contractor, or consultant of the other party hereto to leave that party.

12. Non-Solicitation (Clients/Customers)

During the term of this AGREEMENT and for a period one (1) year from the date of termination of this AGREEMENT, neither party shall, individually, or with others, directly or indirectly (including without limitation, individually or through any business, venture, proprietorship, partnership, or corporation in which it controls or owns any interest, through any agents, through any contractors, through recruiters, by their successors, by its employees, or by its assignees) recruit or solicit any client, customer, or other person or entity transacting business with the other PARTY hereto to cease transacting such business with that PARTY.

13. Notices

Notices and invoices shall be transmitted by email to the person/s at the email addresses specified in the Scope of Work. The notice or invoice shall be deemed received by the party on the day sent unless the sender receives an automatically generated message that the delivery has failed.

14. Waiver of Damages

Each of the parties hereby waives any right to claim or collect any damages in excess of the total amount of the contract between the parties. By way of example, if the contract calls for services in the amount of $5,000, the amount that either party could collect from each other (except for the addition or attorneys’ fees incurred in collection) would be $5,000. The parties agree that this limitation of damages is a significant consideration in the formation of their agreement, and that they would not have entered into this agreement but for the limitation on damages. THE PARTIES SPECIFICALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS TO CLAIM CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES EVEN IF THE OTHER PARTY HAD INFORMED THE PARTY OF THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WOULD GIVE RISE TO SUCH A CLAIM.

Client Initials Regarding Section 14 of this Agreement "Waiver of Damages"

Mandatory Mediation

Any dispute between the parties must be submitted first to mediation before any court action may be taken. This requirement reflects the parties’ belief that less formal dispute resolution is better, more efficient and generally less costly in terms of both time and money. If mediation is unsuccessful and the mediator provides written notice of the failure of the mediation, the parties may proceed with legal action subject to the rights and limitations set forth above.

Independent Contractor Status

BU is an independent contractor. Nothing in this agreement may be construed to give either party the ability or authority to bind the other to any agreement with any other person/entity.
