The subscription details shall be specified in the applicable SOW.

2. Effective Date/Term

This Agreement will commence as of the Effective Date set forth above and will continue until terminated by written agreement executed by both parties. Any obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement will continue thereafter in full force and effect.

a. License. Company and Customer grant to each other, during the term and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, worldwide, royalty-free, revocable license to use the other party’s name, web site address, logo, trademarks, copyrights and trade names (the “Intellectual Property”), solely in connection with this Agreement or SOWs executed by and between the parties.

b. Ownership. Customer shall own all right, title, and interest in and to all Intellectual Property developed, designed, created and/or contributed by Customer independent of or pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Customer Materials”). Company is the owner of and shall retain and own all right, title and interest in all its proprietary technology, processes or other technologies independently created and developed by Company that drive the functionality of any Services provided or Quikly Campaigns executed pursuant to the Agreement, including without limitation, all copyright, trade secret, patent, trademarks, user interfaces, creative ideas, and other related intellectual property rights therein and including any derivative works made during the term of this Agreement or thereafter even if improved upon or further developed by Company in the course of Company’s performance under the Agreement (collectively, the “Back-End Technologies”). Company hereby assigns to Customer all right, title, and interest in and to any Intellectual Property created for or on behalf of Customer pursuant to this Agreement, whether independently or jointly with Customer, provided that Company’s Back-End Technologies are expressly excluded from assignment to Customer. No right, title or interest in or to the Back-End Technologies, or any part thereof, is granted to Customer under this Agreement. Customer agrees that during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, it shall not directly or indirectly assert any interest or property right in the Back-End Technologies or contest the validity of Company’s ownership thereof.

Company’s indemnification obligations set forth herein shall not apply to any claims that are due to delayed delivery as a result of late or under payment by Customer resulting in a claim. Company will have no obligation or liability arising out of or relating to any claim of any kind that results from: (a) the combination, operation or use with the Back-End Technologies or Services of any content, product, apparatus, software, hardware, or service supplied, controlled or used by Customer or any third party to the extent such claim could have been avoided if the content, product, apparatus, software, hardware, or service were not used in such combination; (b) failure of Customer to use updates or modifications to any Back-End Technologies provided by Company, including those provided to avoid infringement; (c) allegations that including certain types of content in messages sent to mobile devices or methods of content-delivery infringe intellectual property rights; or (d) compliance by Company with designs, plans or specifications furnished by or on behalf of Customer. Company’s obligations and the exclusions under this paragraph will survive the termination of this Agreement.

Customer will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Company, its officers, employees, contractors, affiliates and agents (collectively, for purposes of Section 8 only, “Company”) against and from all claims, suits, judgments, losses, damages, fines or costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) resulting from any claim, suit or demand by any third party for loss or damage arising out of (i) Customer’s fraudulent behavior, negligence, intentional acts or omissions, misrepresentation, failure to honor a Quikly Campaign in accordance with its terms, or other violation of this Agreement; (ii) any Content provided by Customer, or (iii) to the extent Customer determined any or all Quikly Campaign components, any actual or alleged failure of the Quikly Campaign to comply with all federal, state, county, and provincial laws, ordinances, regulations, rules, and codes applicable to Customer and/or the Quikly Campaign. Customer’s obligations and all limitations under this paragraph will survive the termination of this Agreement.

The obligation to defend and indemnify provided under this Section shall apply only if (i) the indemnified party promptly notifies the indemnifying party in writing of any potential claim within a reasonable time (provided, however, that the failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not affect the obligations of the indemnifying party hereunder unless and only to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually materially prejudiced by such failure); (ii) the indemnifying party shall assume the defense thereof by appointing a reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense; (iii) the indemnified party provides the indemnifying party with reasonable assistance requested by the indemnifying party, at the indemnifying party’s expense, for the defense and settlement of any claim; and (iv) the indemnified party provides the indemnifying party with the exclusive right to control and the authority to defend and settle any claim; and (v) prior to the indemnifying party assuming control of such defense it shall first verify to the indemnified party in writing that such indemnifying party shall be fully responsible (with no reservation of any rights if appropriate) for all liabilities and obligations relating to such claim for indemnification and that it shall provide full indemnification to the indemnified party with respect to such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim giving rise to such claim for indemnification hereunder.

The indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the indemnified party (other than any fees and expenses of such separate counsel that are incurred prior to the date the indemnifying party effectively assumes control of such defense which, notwithstanding the foregoing, shall be borne by the indemnifying party). If the indemnifying party controls the defense of any claim, the indemnifying party shall obtain the prior written consent of the indemnified party before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the indemnified party, any intellectual property rights of the indemnified party shall be rendered invalid or unenforceable or if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the indemnified party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim, without prejudice.
