For purposes of this Agreement:
If Customer acquires any Products on a trial basis (the "Trial Products"), then Customer will have a period of thirty (30) days from the day the Trial Products are made available to Customer to evaluate the Product (the "Trial Period"). During the Trial Period, all terms and conditions of this Agreement will apply, except that (i) no fees will be due from Customer; (ii) such Products and any Services provided by IRGame with regard to such Products will be provided without warranties or indemnities of any kind, entirely on an "as-is" basis (e.g., the provisions of Sections 7 (Support Services), 10.1 (Product Warranties), 10.2 (Service Warranties), and 11.1 (IRGame Indemnity Obligations) will not apply); and (iii) additional trial terms and conditions may appear on the trial registration web page or on the applicable Order. Any such additional terms and conditions are incorporated into this Agreement by reference and are legally binding.
Subject to Customer's payment of all relevant fees, IRGame hereby grants to Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable (except pursuant to Section 14.9 (Assignment)), right to access and use for its internal business purposes the SaaS Services. The initial term of the foregoing access right will be as set forth in the applicable Order. Customer shall be solely responsible for connection of Customer's systems to a telecommunications service that provides Internet access for purposes of Customer's access and use of the SaaS Services.
IRGame may offer "Beta Products" to Customer at no charge. Use of the Beta Products are at the election of Customer and are for evaluation purposes only. Beta Products are not considered "Products" and do not come with Support Services. Beta Products may be subject to additional terms. IRGame reserves the right to discontinue the Beta Products at any time. Beta Products will automatically terminate at such time as IRGame makes such Beta Products generally available. Beta Products may be unpredictable and lead to erroneous results.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that: (i) Beta Products are experimental and have not been fully tested; (ii) Beta Products may not meet Customer's requirements; (iii) the use or operation of any Beta Products may not be uninterrupted or error free; (iv) Customer's use of any Beta Product is for purposes of evaluating and testing the Beta Product and providing feedback to IRGame; (v) Customer shall inform its employees, staff members, and other users regarding the nature of Beta Product; and (vi) Customer will hold all information relating to Beta Products and Customer's use of Beta Products, including any performance measurements and other data relating to Beta Products, in strict confidence and shall not disclose such information to any unauthorized third parties. Customer shall promptly report any errors, defects, or other deficiencies in any Beta Product to IRGame.
IRGame reserves the right to update the Products from time-to-time but makes no guarantee as to the availability of such updates.
All sales are final, non-refundable, and non-returnable except with respect to Products that do not meet applicable specifications in the relevant Documentation.
Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Order, (i) Products are acquired on a subscription basis per the Order; (ii) additional subscriptions may be added at any time during a co-pending subscription term via an Order, with the term for such additional subscriptions to be prorated for the portion of then-current subscription term remaining at the time the mid-term subscriptions are added; and (iii) any such additional subscriptions will be co-pending and each shall terminate on the same date as the original subscription term.
This is not a work made-for-hire agreement (as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 17 of the United States Code). IRGame and its licensors own all right, title, and interest, including intellectual property rights, in the Products and all enhancements, modifications, and updates thereto, as well as the results of any Services performed hereunder. Except for express licenses granted in this Agreement, IRGame is not granting or assigning to Customer any right, title, or interest, express or implied, in or to IRGame's intellectual property. IRGame reserves all rights in such property.
Customer may provide IRGame with suggestions, comments, or other feedback (collectively, "Feedback") with respect to the Products. Feedback is voluntary. IRGame is not obligated to hold it in confidence. IRGame may use Feedback for any purpose without obligation of any kind. To the extent a license is required under any Customer intellectual property rights to make use of the Feedback, Customer grants IRGame an irrevocable, non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to use the Feedback in connection with IRGame's business, including the enhancement of the Products.
IRGame may audit Customer compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon reasonable notice, IRGame (or an agent of IRGame) may conduct an audit during normal business hours (with the auditor's costs being at IRGame's expense). If an audit reveals underpayments, then Customer will pay to IRGame such underpayments. If underpayments discovered exceed five (5) percent of the Order price (permitting for the allowance in Section 4.2), Customer will reimburse IRGame for the auditor costs.
Customer grants IRGame and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, world-wide, royalty-free license to use the data and other information input by Customer into the Products ("Customer Data"): (i) to perform IRGame's obligations under this Agreement; (ii) in compliance with the Privacy Policy; and (iii) as may be required by law. Customer will be responsible for obtaining all rights, permissions, and authorizations to provide the Customer Data to IRGame for use as contemplated under this Agreement. Except for the limited license granted in this Section, nothing contained in this Agreement will be construed as granting IRGame any right, title, or interest in the Customer Data. Customer Data shall be deemed Customer Confidential Information.
IRGame may also use Customer Data in an aggregate, de-identified, and generic manner for marketing, survey, and benchmarking purposes, in the review and development of current and future Products, Product usage, and other similar purposes ("Aggregated Data"). Aggregated Data: (i) is used only for internal administrative purposes and general usage statistics; (ii) does not identify Customer or any individual; and (iii) to the extent such Aggregated Data is disclosed, it is only disclosed in a generic or aggregated manner for the purposes of sharing Product usage, statistical, or benchmarking purposes. Aggregated Data will not be considered Customer Confidential Information.
Customer Data is maintained using industry standard administrative, physical, and technical safeguards that are designed to provide for the protection of the security, confidentiality, and integrity of Customer Data. IRGame's security safeguards include means for preventing access, use, modification, or disclosure of Customer Data by unauthorized individuals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer Data access may be provided (i) to IRGame and other personnel to the extent necessary to provide Products and Services; (ii) as compelled by law in accordance with Section 9.1(v); (iii) as set forth in the Privacy Policy; or (iv) as expressly permitted by Customer.
The collection, use, and disclosure of Customer Data in connection with Customer's use of the Products is subject to the Privacy Policy. Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that all Users will review and consent to the Privacy Policy before accessing or using the Products. By using the Products, Customer, and each User acknowledges that the Customer Data will be processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy and this Agreement and may be processed in a country where it was collected, as well as in countries where privacy laws may be different or less stringent. By using the Products or submitting Customer Data via the Products, Customer and each User expressly consents to such processes. To the extent Customer or a User provides personal or confidential information about a named person or entity that is not a User, Customer or the applicable User represents that it has that person's or entity's consent to do so.
Customer is solely responsible for all telecommunication or Internet connections and associated fees required to access and use the Products, as well as all hardware and software on the Customer site. IRGame is not responsible for (i) Customer's access to the Internet; (ii) interception or interruptions of communications through the Internet; or (iii) changes or losses of data through the Internet.
Customer shall keep the User credentials (e.g., usernames and passwords) confidential and not disclose any such credentials to any third party. In addition, Customer shall notify IRGame immediately upon discovery of the disclosure of any such credentials, and upon any termination of the engagement of any employees or agents of Customer with knowledge of any such credentials, so that such credentials can be changed.
Customer may not: (i) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, or otherwise attempt to reveal the trade secrets or know how underlying the Products, except to the extent expressly permitted under applicable law; (ii) use IRGame's intellectual property and Confidential Information to develop a product that is similar to the Products; (iii) use any IRGame Confidential Information to contest the validity of any IRGame intellectual property; (iv) remove or destroy any copyright notices or other proprietary markings or confidentiality legends placed on or made available through the Products; (v) use the Products in any manner or for any purpose inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Documentation; or (vi) copy, reproduce, distribute, rent, loan, sell, transfer, grant any license, sub-license or otherwise make available Products to third parties except as expressly permitted in this Agreement. Products shall only be used for the licensed number of Assets for which Customer has paid the applicable fees.
The sale, resale or other disposition of Products and any related technology or Documentation may be subject to the export control laws, regulations and orders of the United States and may be subject to the export and/or import control laws and regulations of other countries. Customer is solely responsible for complying with all such laws, regulations and orders and acknowledges that it shall not directly or indirectly export or import any Products to any country to which such export or transmission is restricted or prohibited. Customer understands and acknowledges its responsibility to obtain any license to export, re-export or import as may be required.
Fees due for the Products or Services (the "Fees") will be as set forth in each Order. If no period is specified in a quotation, quoted Fees will be valid for thirty (30) days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, quoted Fees will be subject to increase in the event of an increase in IRGame's costs or other circumstances beyond IRGame's reasonable control. Fees are exclusive of taxes, including sales, use, excise, value added, and similar taxes or charges imposed by any government authority, and domestic and international shipping charges. Customer is responsible for payment of the foregoing (with the exception of any IRGame income or employee taxes) and such charges will be paid by Customer to IRGame in addition to the price of the Products or Services, as applicable. Except as otherwise specified herein or in an Order: (i) payment obligations are non-cancelable and Fees paid are non-refundable; and (ii) term and quantities purchased cannot be decreased during the applicable Product term. You will be responsible for any payments owed but not paid by any of your Affiliates ordering Products or Services hereunder.
Fees due for Products or Services may be invoiced by IRGame in full at the start of the subscription term or as otherwise expressly provided in the Order. Customer agrees to pay the net amount of each invoice without offset or deduction within thirty (30) days after the date of IRGame's invoice (unless otherwise noted on the invoice). If any amount is not paid upon the due date, IRGame shall be entitled to receive the amount due plus interest thereon at the rate of 1.5% per month (or such lower rate as shall be the highest permissible contract rate under applicable law) on all amounts that are not paid on or before the date due. Customer shall also pay all of IRGame's reasonable costs of collection, including but not limited to reasonable attorney's fees.
IRGame will not exercise its right of suspension in the event Customer disputes such charges, in good faith, and provides IRGame with written notice of such dispute prior to the due date, pays all undisputed charges on time, and cooperates diligently to resolve the dispute.
All Orders are subject to credit approval by IRGame. Customer agrees to submit such financial information from time to time as may be reasonably requested by IRGame for the establishment and/or continuation of credit terms. Any payment received from Customer may be applied by IRGame against any obligation owing from Customer to IRGame.
In the event Customer acquires Products via a reseller, then all payment-related terms will be set forth in the applicable reseller agreement between such reseller and Customer.
"Confidential Information" does not include information that: (i) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach by the Receiving Party of this Agreement; (ii) was previously known to the Receiving Party prior to the date of disclosure, as evidenced by contemporaneous written records; (iii) was acquired by the Receiving Party from a third party which was not in breach of any obligation of confidentiality; or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party hereto without reference to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. In the event that the Receiving Party is required to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to a subpoena or other similar order of any court or government agency, the Receiving Party shall promptly inform the other Disclosing Party in writing and provide a copy thereof (unless notice is precluded by the applicable process), shall only disclose that Confidential Information necessary to comply with such subpoena or order, and shall use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment of such information.
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Receiving Party will not use or disclose any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party without the Disclosing Party's prior written consent, except disclosure to and subsequent uses by the Receiving Party's employees or consultants on a need-to-know basis, provided that such employees or consultants are bound to obligations of confidentiality that are at least as restrictive as the Receiving Party's obligations under this Section 9. Subject to the foregoing nondisclosure and non-use obligations, the Receiving Party agrees to use at least the same care and precaution in protecting such Confidential Information as the Receiving Party uses to protect the Receiving Party's own Confidential Information and trade secrets, and in no event less than reasonable care. Each party acknowledges that due to the unique nature of the other party's Confidential Information, the Disclosing Party may not have an adequate remedy in money or damages in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure of its Confidential Information. In addition to any other remedies that may be available in law, in equity or otherwise, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to prevent such unauthorized use or disclosure.
All documents and other tangible objects containing or representing Confidential Information that have been disclosed by either party to the other party, and all summaries, copies, descriptions, excerpts or extracts thereof that are in the possession of the Receiving Party, shall be and remain the property of the Disclosing Party and shall be promptly returned to the Disclosing Party, and the Receiving Party shall use reasonable efforts to promptly delete or destroy all summaries, copies, descriptions, excerpts, or extracts thereof in their possession, upon the Disclosing Party's written request. The Receiving Party shall have no obligation to delete or destroy copies that: (i) are contained in an archived computer system backup that was made in accordance with such party's security, e-mail retention, and/or disaster recovery procedures; or (ii) are kept by it for record-keeping, archival, or governance purposes in compliance with such party's document retention policies. Any such retained Confidential Information shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement for so long as it is retained. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party will continue to be bound by its confidentiality and other obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. At the Disclosing Party's option, the Receiving Party will provide written certification of its compliance with this Section.
IRGame represents and warrants that all Products shall materially conform to their then-current Documentation. For SaaS Services, Customer must notify IRGame of any breach of this warranty within thirty (30) days of the first occurrence of such breach. For Software, Customer must notify IRGame within one (1) year of Customer's receipt thereof. Customer's sole and exclusive remedy, and IRGame's sole and exclusive liability, for a breach of the foregoing warranty will be for IRGame to provide Support Services to repair or replace the relevant Product or terminate the relevant Order and issue a refund for any pre-paid, unearned fees for the affected portion of the Product. IRGame shall not be responsible for any breach of the foregoing warranty resulting from Customer's abuse or misuse of the Product or failure to use the Product as described in this Agreement or the Documentation, including failure to use the Product in accordance with its operational requirements.
IRGame warrants that IRGame shall provide the Services in a professional, workmanlike manner consistent with generally accepted industry standards. Customer must notify IRGame of any breach of this warranty within thirty (30) days of delivery. Customer's sole and exclusive remedy, and IRGame's sole and exclusive liability, for a breach of the foregoing warranty will be for IRGame, in its sole discretion, to use reasonable efforts to re-perform the Services or terminate the relevant Order and issue a refund for the portion of price paid for the non-conforming Services.
Customer represents and warrants that (i) it owns, or is a licensee of, having the right to sublicense, the Customer Data and that Customer has the right to grant IRGame the rights that Customer purports to grant in this Agreement; (ii) IRGame's possession or use of the Customer Data does not and will not infringe on, violate, or misappropriate any patent, trademark, or copyright, or misappropriate any trade secret or other proprietary right of any third party; (iii) the Customer Data shall be free from viruses, trojan horses, or other similar elements which could harm the systems or software used by IRGame to provide the Products; and (iv) it will not use, nor will it allow any third parties under its control to use, the Products or Services for high risk activities, such as the operation of nuclear facilities, air traffic control, or life support systems, where the use or failure of the Products or Services could lead to death, personal injury, or environmental damage.
Each party warrants that it will comply with all laws and regulations applicable to its provision or use of the Products or Services or performance of its obligations under this Agreement, as applicable (including applicable security breach notification law). In addition, each party represents and warrants that it has the full authority to enter into this Agreement and that it has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Agreement.
IRGame will defend and indemnify Customer from any and all claims, losses, deficiencies, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees) finally awarded against Customer, as approved via a court-approved settlement, or via binding mediation or arbitration arising from a claim by a third party that Customer's authorized use of a Product infringes that third party's United States patent, copyright, or trade secret rights. The foregoing indemnification obligation of IRGame is contingent upon Customer promptly notifying IRGame in writing of such claim (provided the failure or delay in doing so shall not relieve IRGame from any obligations to indemnify Customer except to the extent that such delay or failure materially prejudices the defense of such claim), permitting IRGame sole authority to control the defense or settlement of such claim, and providing IRGame reasonable assistance (at IRGame's sole expense) in connection therewith.
If a claim of infringement under this Section occurs, or if IRGame determines a claim is likely to occur, IRGame will have the right, in its sole discretion, to either (i) procure for Customer the right or license to continue to use the Products free of the infringement claim; or (ii) modify the Products to make them non-infringing, without loss of material functionality. If neither of these remedies is reasonably available to IRGame, IRGame may, in its sole discretion, immediately terminate the related Order and, upon return of the infringing Products from Customer, refund any pre-paid, unearned Fees paid for such Products.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, IRGame will have no obligation with respect to any claim of infringement that is based upon or arises out of (a) the use or combination of the Products with any hardware, software, products, data, or other materials not provided by IRGame; (b) modification or alteration of the Products by anyone other than IRGame; (c) a breach by Customer of this Agreement, including use of the Products in excess of the rights granted in this Agreement, or any breach by Customer of any applicable law; (d) any specifications or other intellectual property provided by Customer; or (e) Customer's failure to comply with IRGame's direction to cease any activity that in IRGame's reasonable judgment may result in such a claim (collectively, the "Excluded Claims"). The provisions of this Section state the sole and exclusive obligations and liability of IRGame and its licensors and suppliers for any claim of intellectual property infringement arising out of or relating to the Products or this Agreement, and are in lieu of any implied warranties of non-infringement, all of which are expressly disclaimed.
Customer will defend and indemnify IRGame, its Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, successors, and assigns (the "IRGame Indemnified Parties") and hold the IRGame Indemnified Parties harmless from, any and all claims, losses, deficiencies, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by any IRGame Indemnified Party as a result of any claim by a third party arising from (i) Customer's use of the Products in breach of this Agreement; (ii) IRGame's authorized use of the Customer Data; or (iii) the Excluded Claims. The foregoing indemnification obligation of Customer is contingent upon IRGame promptly notifying Customer in writing of such claim (provided the failure or delay in doing so shall not relieve Customer from any obligations to indemnify IRGame Indemnified Parties except to the extent that such delay or failure materially prejudices the defense of such claim), permitting Customer sole authority to control the defense or settlement of such claim, provided that Customer may not settle any such claim unless it unconditionally releases IRGame of all liability, and providing Customer reasonable assistance (at Customer's sole expense) in connection therewith.
The allocations of liability in this Section represent the agreed, bargained-for understanding of the parties and IRGame's compensation hereunder reflects such allocations. The limitation of liability and types of damages stated in this Agreement are intended by the parties to apply regardless of the form of lawsuit or claim a party may bring, whether in tort, contract, or otherwise, and regardless of whether any limited remedy provided for in this Agreement fails of its essential purpose.
No action arising out of this Agreement may be brought by either party more than two (2) years after such cause of action accrues.
This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date and shall remain in full force and effect until terminated by either party pursuant to this Section 13 ("Term"). The "Effective Date" shall be the date an Order signed by Customer, or a purchase order issued by Customer, is acknowledged by IRGame. IRGame hereby rejects any preprinted term or condition included in any communication or document from Customer relating to this Agreement, including on purchase orders. For the avoidance of doubt, any of Customer's purchase terms and conditions are expressly excluded. IRGame's failure to object to conflicting or additional terms will not change or add to the terms of this Agreement.
In the event IRGame, in good faith, believes or otherwise becomes aware of a User's violation of this Agreement, then IRGame may specifically request that Customer suspend such User's access to and use of the Products. In the event Customer fails to suspend such non-compliant User, Customer hereby authorizes IRGame to suspend such User(s) or Customer entirely from access to and use of the Products. The duration of such suspension is at the sole determination of IRGame and shall continue until such time as IRGame determines that the applicable User has cured the breach resulting in such suspension. IRGame may also suspend access and use of the Products with respect to any individual User or the Customer account to: (i) prevent damages to, or degradation of, the Products or IRGame's systems; (ii) comply with any law, regulation, court order, or other governmental request; or (iii) otherwise protect IRGame from potential legal liability. Any such suspension will be to the minimum extent and of the minimum duration required to prevent or terminate the cause of the suspension.
IRGame delivers its services, platform, and products (collectively, the "Services") in part through the use of third-party software, infrastructure, APIs, payment processors, and other technology providers (collectively, "Third-Party Systems"). These Third-Party Systems include, without limitation, payment processing services, cloud hosting providers, identity and authentication services, communication platforms, data enrichment tools, and other integrated technologies.
Third-Party Systems are not developed, owned, operated, or controlled by IRGame. IRGame's ability to monitor, audit, secure, or remediate vulnerabilities within Third-Party Systems is materially limited by the access, transparency, and cooperation provided by such third-party providers.
The parties agree that the allocation of risk set forth in this provision reflects a reasonable and negotiated allocation of the respective risks, benefits, and responsibilities associated with the Services, and that this provision is an essential element of the bargain between the parties.
To the extent any Third-Party System provider offers warranties, indemnities, service level commitments, or other protections to IRGame, IRGame shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pass through the benefit of such protections to Customer upon Customer's written request, subject to the terms and conditions imposed by the relevant Third-Party System provider. IRGame does not guarantee that any such pass-through will be available or enforceable.
Customer acknowledges that the use of Third-Party Systems involves inherent risks, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks, data loss, service interruption, and regulatory non-compliance, and that Customer has independently evaluated such risks in connection with its decision to use the Services.
Customer shall, at its own expense, obtain and maintain throughout the term of the Agreement appropriate and adequate insurance coverage, including but not limited to cyber liability insurance and data breach response insurance, in amounts sufficient to cover Customer's potential exposure arising from a Third-Party Security Incident. Customer shall provide evidence of such insurance upon IRGame's written request.
Customer acknowledges that it has conducted or had the opportunity to conduct its own independent evaluation of the Third-Party Systems used in connection with the Services. Customer assumes all risk associated with its own decision to use the Services notwithstanding its knowledge of the Third-Party Systems involved.
Unless expressly authorized in writing by IRGame, Customer shall not submit to the Services any data that is subject to heightened regulatory protection, including without limitation: (a) protected health information governed by HIPAA; (b) payment card data subject to PCI-DSS beyond that which is processed directly through the applicable payment processor integration; (c) government-issued identification numbers; or (d) data relating to minors under the age of 13. In the event Customer submits such data in violation of this Section, Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold IRGame harmless from and against any and all Losses arising therefrom.
In the event IRGame receives written confirmation from a Third-Party System provider that a Third-Party Security Incident has occurred and that such incident has materially affected Customer Data processed through the Services, IRGame shall provide written notice to Customer within seventy-two (72) hours of IRGame's receipt of such confirmation, to the extent permitted by applicable law and by any confidentiality obligations owed to the Third-Party System provider.
IRGame's notification obligation under Section 13.10 is limited to relaying information received from the Third-Party System provider. IRGame shall have no obligation to investigate, remediate, or independently assess any Third-Party Security Incident, and the provision of notice shall not constitute an admission of liability by IRGame.
Upon receiving notice of a Third-Party Security Incident, Customer shall: (a) promptly notify its own cyber liability insurer; (b) cooperate in good faith with IRGame and the Third-Party System provider in any investigation; and (c) take reasonable steps to mitigate its own Losses.
Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless IRGame and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns (collectively, "IRGame Indemnitees") from and against any and all Losses brought by third parties (including Customer's own customers, employees, or regulators) arising out of or related to:
The indemnification obligations in Section 13.13 shall not apply to the extent that the applicable Losses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by IRGame's own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
The purpose of the relationship between IRGame and Customer is for Customer to purchase a subscription to the Products, which contain software, content, and information for IT risk management, or regulatory compliance. The SaaS Services, content, and information disclosed is proprietary to IRGame and is an important business asset of IRGame (the "Proprietary Information"). The Proprietary Information consists of protected financial data, trade secrets, and commercially valuable information that, if disclosed, would harm the competitive position of IRGame. In the event of a request for disclosure of IRGame's Proprietary Information, Customer will affirmatively respond denying the request pursuant to the terms of this paragraph and will promptly, but no later than five (5) business days after receiving such request, forward the request on to IRGame. Customer shall not release any such Proprietary Information except pursuant to written instructions by IRGame, or a final un-appealable court order, provided that any such disclosure shall be limited to the minimum necessary to be in compliance with the request, based upon the opinion of counsel. If Customer cannot agree to the foregoing, then Customer is not permitted access to the Proprietary Information.
Each party agrees that during the term of this Agreement, and for a period of one (1) year after the termination or expiration of this Agreement, it will not solicit, without the other party's prior written consent, any person employed then by the other party if such person became known to the soliciting party through the relationship established pursuant to this Agreement. This prohibition will not apply to job opportunities posted on recruiting websites or in other publications in which one party seeks to find candidates for open positions (absent direct solicitation and/or recruitment).
This Agreement does not and is not intended to confer any enforceable rights or remedies upon any person or party other than the parties hereto.
IRGame retains the right to assign such personnel, including subcontractors, as it deems appropriate for the performance of any Services or the development, maintenance, or support of any Products.
IRGame, its personnel, agents, subcontractors, and independent contractors are not employees or agents of Customer and are acting as independent contractors with respect to Customer. Neither party is, nor shall be considered to be, an agent, distributor, partner, joint venturer, or representative of the other party for any purpose, and neither party shall have the authority to act on behalf of, or in the name of, or to bind the other party in any manner whatsoever.
Neither party to this Agreement shall be liable for delays or failures in performance under this Agreement (other than the payment obligations) resulting from acts or events beyond the reasonable control of such party, including acts of war, terrorism, acts of God, pandemic, earthquake, flood, embargo, riot, sabotage or dispute, governmental act, or failure of the Internet, power failure, energy interruption or shortages, other utility interruption, or telecommunications interruption, provided that the delayed party: (i) gives the other party prompt notice of such cause; and (ii) uses its reasonable commercial efforts to promptly correct such failure or delay in performance.
This Agreement, including any and all Orders, constitutes the entire understanding between the parties related to this Agreement which understanding supersedes and merges all prior understandings and all other proposals, letters, agreements, oral or written. The parties further agree that there are no other inducements, warranties, representations, or agreements regarding the matters herein between the parties except as expressly set in this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the body of this Agreement and any Order, the body of this Agreement shall control, unless language in a mutually executed Order explicitly states that it is intended to supersede a particular provision of this Agreement. In the event that the Customer, or its Users, are presented with IRGame click-wrap, the contents of this Agreement shall supersede any conflicting terms. Any additional or different terms and conditions set forth in Contractor's invoices, purchase order acknowledgments, or similar writings or in Contractor's electronic data interchange acknowledgments are objected to by Company and will not be binding upon Company unless specifically assented to in writing by an authorized agent of Company. As used herein, the term "including" shall mean "including, without limitation;" the term "includes" as used herein shall mean "includes, without limitation;" and terms appearing in the singular shall include the plural and terms appearing in the plural shall include the singular. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, or altered in any manner except by a written agreement signed by both parties, and any attempt at oral modification shall be void and of no effect.
Customer may not assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement either in whole or in part without the prior written consent of IRGame. Any attempted assignment or delegation without such consent will be void and IRGame may immediately terminate this Agreement for cause. Except as provided above, this Agreement shall apply to, inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.
The waiver or failure of either party to exercise any right in any respect provided for herein shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any further right hereunder.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Louisiana without regard to choice of law principles. The parties consent and submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the state courts or federal courts that serve Lafayette, Louisiana for any dispute relating to the terms, interpretation, or performance of this Agreement (other than claims for preliminary injunctive relief or other pre-judgment remedies). Notwithstanding the foregoing, IRGame shall have the right to seek injunctive or pre-judgment relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent or enjoin the misappropriation, misuse, infringement, or unauthorized disclosure of IRGame's Confidential Information or intellectual property rights. No Federal Acquisition Regulations shall be construed to apply to IRGame without IRGame's written agreement thereto. The United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement. In the event any provision of this Agreement is held by a tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
All provisions of this Agreement relating to confidentiality, non-disclosure, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and payment, and any other provisions which must survive in order to give effect to their meaning, shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Any notice provided pursuant to this Agreement, if specified to be in writing, shall be in writing and shall be deemed given: (i) if by hand delivery or by delivery service, upon receipt thereof; or (ii) if mailed, three days after deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid. All notices shall be addressed to the parties at the addresses specified in the opening paragraph of this Agreement or at such other addresses as either party may in the future specify in writing to the other.
The headings contained in this Agreement are for purposes of convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
