What are the results from the consultations?

All information discussed during the consultation services is provided "AS IS." Neither the Consultant nor Client makes any warranties, express, implied, or otherwise, regarding the accuracy, completeness, or performance of any such information.

NO ASSURANCE OF RESULTS. The Consultant cannot and does not guarantee the results (including, without limitation, their nature and/or economic or commercial value or utility) of the consultation services to be performed as part of each consultation. The consultation services will be provided on a best efforts basis only.

INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Of Client by Consultant. The Consultant shall indemnify and hold harmless the Client and its officers, members, managers, employees, agents, contractors, sublicensees, affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, and assigns from and against any and all damages, liabilities, costs, expenses, claims, and/or judgments, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (collectively, the "Claims") that any of them may suffer from or incur and that arise or result primarily from (i) any gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Consultant arising from or connected with Consultant's carrying out of its duties under this Agreement, or (ii) the Consultant's breach of any of its obligations, agreements, or duties under this Agreement.

What are the confidentiality and publicity policies for the consultation services?

During the "Rent a UX Expert" term and for a period of twelve (12) calendar months thereafter, both the Consultant and Client shall retain in confidence and not disclose to any third party Confidential Information obtained from the other party pursuant to the "Rent a UX Expert" of the consultation services. "Confidential Information" means any of the Party's proprietary information, technical data, trade secrets, or know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans, products, services, customer lists, markets, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances, or other business information disclosed to one Party by the other, either directly or indirectly. Neither Party will use Confidential Information except for the express purpose of performing this Agreement. The Consultant may use the Confidential Information to the extent necessary for negotiations, discussions, and consultations with Client personnel or authorized representatives or for any other purpose the Client may hereafter authorize in writing.

Client expressly gives authorization to Consultant (Garofalo Enterprises, Inc.) to use branding information, including but not limited to, Client name, Client likeness, and Client image, for commercial and advertising purposes.

What are the policies for the intellectual property, ownership rights, future products, and residuals?

Let's keep this as mutual as possible.

OWNERSHIP RIGHTS. Each party acknowledges that the Confidential Information is, and at all times will be, the Disclosing Party's sole property, even if suggestions made by a Receiving Party are incorporated into the Confidential Information. Neither party obtains any rights, by license or otherwise, in the other party's Confidential Information. Neither party solicits any change in the other party's organization, business practice, service, or products, and the disclosure of the Confidential Information may not be construed as evidencing any intent by a party to purchase any products or services of the other party or as an encouragement to expend funds in development or research efforts. The Confidential Information may pertain to prospective or unannounced products. Neither party may use the other party's Confidential Information as a basis on which to develop or have a third party develop a competing or similar plan or undertaking.

FUTURE PRODUCTS; RESIDUALS. The confidentiality terms of this agreement do not limit either party's right to develop or acquire products independently without use of the other party's Confidential Information. Further, each party may use for any purpose the residuals resulting from access to or work with the other party's Confidential Information. However, neither party may disclose the other party's Confidential Information except as expressly permitted under this agreement. The term "residuals" means information in intangible form that is retained in memory by people who have had access to the Confidential Information, including ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in that Confidential Information. Neither party is required to limit or restrict the assignment of such persons or to pay royalties for any work resulting from the use of residuals. This section does not give either party a license under the other party's copyrights or patents.

What if a disagreement or dispute arises?

The Consultant and Client will first attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution to any and all disputes between the parties arising out of or related to the consultation services. All unscheduled and scheduled consultation services will be paused until the dispute is resolved. Any dispute that is not resolved in this manner within twenty (20) business days from the receipt of notice of such dispute will be escalated to a Director at Garofalo Enterprises, Inc., and a principal, partner, or senior officer at Client for a final attempt to resolve the dispute through good faith negotiations. If after escalating the dispute to the foregoing levels of management, the dispute is not resolved within ten (10) business days, the dispute will be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules by an arbitrator familiar with software contracts and the software industry. The final selection of an arbitrator will be agreed upon in writing by the Parties. In the event the Parties cannot agree upon the choice of an arbitrator, each Party will appoint one (1) individual representative and the two (2) Party representatives will, between themselves, choose an arbitrator. The arbitration is to be conducted in the County of San Diego, California. The arbitrators are to apply California law without regard to choice of laws principles. Each Party will submit to any court of competent jurisdiction for purposes of the enforcement of any award, order, or judgment. Any award, order, or judgment pursuant to such arbitration shall be deemed final and shall be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
