  3. LIST CONFIDENTIALITY & ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT. To maintain and support the client, Company and its staff members will have password access to the Customer’s CRM database lists. This is a necessary part of the service. The Company agrees that these lists are the exclusive property of the Customer. Because this information is valuable property and is of a highly confidential nature, Company agrees not to disclose, transfer, duplicate, or reproduce in any form or manner whatsoever all or any portion of the said emailing list(s) and to use such property solely for the provision of the Service to Customer.

  4. TERM AND TERMINATION. This Agreement shall be effective for a period of 12 months commencing on the EFFECTIVE DATE of this contract. 

    Completion: Upon successful completion of the 12-month program, Customer may continue with Company on a month-to-month basis at the then-current rate, or transition their system to a new hosting platform of their choosing (at Customer expense). The website, blog, and email automations are created as work-for-hire and all rights to the work product transfer (“Work Product”) to the Customer upon full payment as outlined in the attached PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION. Company will irrevocably assign to Customer all right, title and interest worldwide in and to all Work Product, and to any ideas, adaptations, changes, modifications, designs, redesigns, artwork, exclusive content, other copyrightable works, and any other work product created, conceived, or developed by Company (whether alone or jointly with others) solely for Customer during or before the term of this Agreement, including all  intellectual property rights therein upon full payment as outlined in the PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION.

    Transition: Upon successful completion of the program, should Customer choose to transition their website, blog, and email automations to a new hosting platform. Customer agrees and understands that Customer is 100% responsible for the transition. 

    Transition / Transfer Services. If Customer chooses to transfer the Essential Solution system, including website, they may purchase IMS transfer support services for a one-time fee of $1,500. Note that it is customary for the provider receiving the new account to be responsible for the transfer and often this is done at no charge.

    Termination: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Company may terminate this Agreement at any time should Customer breach this Agreement and not cure such breach to the full satisfaction of Company promptly after notice to Customer. In addition, Company may terminate this Agreement for convenience in its sole and absolute discretion upon 10 days’ notice to Customer. In the event this Agreement is terminated as a result of Customer’s breach of this Agreement, any payments made are nonrefundable and the remaining amounts due Company by Customer under the PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION attached to this Agreement shall be due and payable, and Customer's right to use the services or work provided by Company shall immediately cease, and Company may delete from its servers or its affiliate’s servers Customer’s account and any content associated with said account. Upon termination, Customer assumes sole responsibility for establishing any new marketing services they may or may not employ and Company is not responsible for any aspect of the transfer or establishment of new services unless so-contracted separately.

  5. NO EXPECTATION OF MARKET EXCLUSIVITY. Customer understands and agrees that there is no offer, guarantee, promise or expectation that Customer will “own,” dominate or increase its market share in any specific market or that engaging Company Service accords them exclusivity to the Service within their existing market or any targeted market.

  6. NO REFUNDS. Company abides by a strict, no refund policy. By accepting the terms of this Agreement, Customer expressly agrees and understands that Customer is foregoing any right to claim any refund of fees paid for access and use of the service(s) offered by Company for any reason whatsoever.

  7. SUCCESS NOT GUARANTEED: By accepting the terms of this Agreement, Customer agrees and understands that Company provides the Service in this Agreement “AS IS AND WHERE IS,” disclaims all warranties and guarantees no specific results. Further, Customer acknowledges that everyone's success is different, and dependent on factors such as Customer’s own drive, dedication, and motivation. Any examples of income or testimonials are not meant as a promise or guarantee of any success metric (earnings, new clients, market share increase, recognition, etc.). Please be aware that Customer may in fact experience a net loss by using the Service. In other words: Company does not guarantee results and there is an inherent risk Customer may spend money for the Service but not recoup the costs in new business, just like any other digital marketing effort.

  8. COMPENSATION. Customer agrees to pay Company the Total Amount Due as outlined in the PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION. The Total Amount Due is owed the Company whether or not Customer chooses to utilize any or all of the Service. Administrative access to website will not be granted to Customer and no transfer of Work Product will occur until the Total Amount Due is paid in full and this Agreement is satisfied.

  9. COLLECTION COSTS. In addition to all other amounts due, in the event it becomes necessary to use collection procedures, Customer agrees to pay for any and all collection agency fees, costs and expenses. And if the Agreement is turned over to an attorney, Customer shall be liable for reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and court costs in either the enforcement of any provisions of the Agreement, in connection with a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or in the collection of any amounts due.

  10. CONTENT. Customer shall be liable for any material protected by copyright, trademark, or trade secret law used in Customer’s content without the express, written permission of the author or owner of the intellectual property rights of such content, and for any defamatory or legal or factual inaccuracies in any materials in any of Customer’s content. Company shall not be responsible for reviewing or verifying the legal or factual accuracy or ownership rights of Customer’s content before it appears on the website.

Each party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such civil action or legal proceeding and waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such civil action or legal proceeding in such courts and/or the right to bring an action or proceeding in any other courts. Service of any court paper may be effected on such party by mail, as provided in this Agreement, or in such other manner as may be provided under applicable laws, rules of procedures or local rules. Company and the Customer hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waive any right to a trial by jury in any suit action, proceeding or counterclaim concerning any rights under this Agreement, or any related document or agreement delivered or which may be in the future delivered in connection herewith, or arising from any relationship existing in connection with this Agreement. And agree that any such suit, action, proceeding or counterclaim shall be tried before a court and not before a jury.

  15. NON BINDING MEDIATION. Before commencing any legal proceeding in any court of law, or before creating or posting any complaint, negative review or other online communication referencing the Company and/or this Agreement and claiming a breach, misrepresentation, poor service or other failure by the Company, the parties agree to subject any controversy, claim, dispute or disagreement (“Dispute”) about (i) the Service, including, without limitation, the quality, timeliness or other aspect of the Service, (ii) the terms of this Agreement, or the their enforcement or interpretation, or (iii)  an alleged breach, default, or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, shall first be submitted to non-binding mediation in Denver, Colorado, before a sole mediator selected from Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc., Denver, Colorado, or its successor (“JAMS”), or if JAMS is no longer able to supply the mediator, such mediator shall be selected from the American Arbitration Association, provided, however, that provisional injunctive relief may, but need not, be sought by either party to this Agreement in a court of law while mediation proceedings are pending. Mediation shall be held within thirty (30) calendar days of the end of such fifteen (15) calendar day negotiation period of the negotiating teams. Except as provided in this Section, no litigation for the resolution of such Dispute may be commenced until the parties attempt in good faith to settle the dispute by such mediation in accordance with such rules and either party has concluded in good faith that amicable resolution through continued mediation of the matter does not appear likely. The costs of mediation shall be shared equally by the parties to the mediation. Any settlement reached by mediation shall be recorded in writing, signed by the parties, and shall be binding on them. Customer expressly agrees and acknowledges that if Customer creates or posts any complaint, negative review or other online communication referencing the Company and/or this Agreement and claiming a breach, misrepresentation, poor service or other failure by the Company without first attempting to resolve the issues with the Company, and failing that conduction the mediation called for by this Section, and because the economic damages caused by improper online communication are difficult to determine, Customer agrees to be liable for liquidated damages to Company in the amount of $15,000.
