In the event a party is required to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to a judicial or other
governmental order, such party shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law or opinion of counsel,
provide the other party with prompt notice prior to any disclosure so that the party or its client may
seek other legal remedies to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information.

indemnify and hold harmless the other party from and against any liabilities, claims, damages, losses,
costs, and expenses resulting, directly or indirectly, from any breach by a party, or any of its employees
or independent contractors, of any provision of this Agreement. The obligations of this Section shall
survive termination of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year.
In the event that any such material is considered not to be a “work made for hire,” Service Provider
hereby assigns all ownership (whether represented or not by a registered patent, copyright, trade
secret) and other proprietary or rights, title, and interest in such deliverables and materials to Client,
and agrees to execute such documents as Client may reasonably request, in order to assist Client in

effective once sent if no error or “bounce back” has been received within twenty-four (24) hours of
submission.
Appropriate Conduct
Client and Service Provider will seek to maintain a professional relationship that is free from
harassment of any kind and from any other offensive or disrespectful conduct. If at any time during
the term of this Agreement Service Provider believes that he/she has been subjected to harassing
behavior on the part of Client or Client’s staff, Service Provider will notify Client immediately and
demand that appropriate actions will be taken to correct the matter. In the event that the reported
behavior continues following Service Provider’s second notice, such behavior will constitute a breach
of this Agreement and entitle Service Provider to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the
Agreement’s Term and Termination Clause and be paid in full for the ordered project or for the
planned monthly service hours, as applicable, without limiting any other right or remedy available to
Service Provider by law.
Miscellaneous
The section and subsection headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and will not be
used in interpreting this Agreement. Both parties have had the opportunity to review this Agreement
and neither party will be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for the purposes of interpreting any
ambiguity in this Agreement. The parties agree that this Agreement may be signed by manual or
facsimile signatures and in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which
together will constitute one and the same instrument. In the event that any provision of this
Agreement will be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be first revised to give
the maximum permissible effect to its original intent or, if such revision is not permitted, that specific
provision will be eliminated so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and
enforceable.
