11. Representations and Warranties

11.1. Mutual Representations and Warranties. Each party represents and warrants to the other party that:

  • (a) it is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing as a corporation or other entity as represented herein under the Laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization;
  • (b) it has the full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder;
  • (c) the execution of this Agreement by its representative whose signature is set forth at the end hereof has been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action of the party; and
  • (d) when executed and delivered by such party, this Agreement will constitute the legal, valid, and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms.

11.2. Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes any representation or warranty by Licensor that:

  • (a) guarantees that the Materials and Licensed Services will accurately assess an end-users readiness to transition the end-user’s business;
  • (b) any Licensed Mark is valid;
  • (c) any Licensed Mark (if an application) shall proceed to grant or, if granted, shall be valid; or
  • (d) the exercise by Licensee of rights granted under this Agreement will not infringe the rights of any person.

11.3. Exclusion of Consequential and Other Indirect Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, Licensor will not be liable to Licensee for any consequential, incidental, indirect, exemplary, special, PUNITIVE, or enhanced damages whether arising out of breach of contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, regardless of whether such damage was foreseeable and whether or not Licensee has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

12. Indemnification and Insurance.

12.1. Indemnification. Licensee shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Licensor and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against all Losses arising out of or in connection with any third party claim, suit, action, or proceeding (each, a “Third-Party Claim”) relating to any actual or alleged: (a) breach by Licensee of any representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation under this Agreement; or (b) Licensee's exercise of its rights granted under this Agreement, including any product liability claim or infringement, dilution, or other violation of any intellectual property rights relating to the provision, manufacture, promotion, advertising, distribution or sale of the Licensed Services.

12.2. Indemnification Procedures. The Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Licensee upon becoming aware of a Third-Party Claim under this Section 11. The Licensee shall promptly assume control of the defense and investigation of such Third-Party Claim, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Licensee in connection therewith, in each case at the Licensee's sole cost and expense. The Indemnified Party may participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim, with counsel of its own choosing and at its own cost and expense. The Licensee shall not settle any such Third-Party Claim on any terms or in any manner that adversely affects the rights of any Indemnified Party without such Indemnified Party's prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). If the Licensee fails or refuses to assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party has the right, but no obligation, to defend against such Third-Party Claim, including settling such Third-Party Claim after giving notice to the Licensee, in each case in such manner and on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate. Neither the Indemnified Party's failure to perform any obligation under this Section 11.2 nor any Indemnified Party's act or omission in the defense or settlement of any such Third-Party Claim will relieve the Licensee of its obligations under this Section 11.2, including with respect to any Losses, except to the extent that the Licensee can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced as a result thereof.

12.3. Insurance.  

(a) At all times during the Term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, Licensee shall procure and maintain, at its sole cost and expense, commercial general liability insurance with limits no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 in the aggregate, including bodily injury and property damage and products and completed operations and advertising liability, which policy will include contractual liability coverage insuring the activities of Licensee under this Agreement.

(b) All insurance policies required pursuant to Section 11.3 must:

  • be issued by insurance companies with a Best's Rating of no less than A-VII;

  • waive any right of subrogation of the insurers against Licensor;
  • provide that such insurance be primary insurance and any similar insurance in the name of and/or for the benefit of Licensor is excess and non-contributory; and
  • name Licensor, including, in each case, all successors and permitted assigns, as additional insureds.
(c) Licensee shall provide Licensor with copies of the certificates of insurance and policy endorsements required by this Section 11.3 upon the written request of Licensor, and shall not do anything to invalidate such insurance.

Licensee shall not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights, or delegate or otherwise transfer any of its obligations or performance, under this Agreement, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law, or otherwise, without Licensor's prior written consent, which consent Licensor may give or withhold in its sole discretion. For purposes of the preceding sentence, and without limiting its generality, any merger, consolidation, or reorganization involving Licensee (regardless of whether Licensee is a surviving or disappearing entity) will be deemed to be a transfer of rights, obligations, or performance under this Agreement for which Licensor's prior written consent is required. No delegation or other transfer will relieve Licensee of any of its obligations or performance under this Agreement. Any purported assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of this Section 15 is void.

Nothing contained in this Agreement will be construed as creating any agency, partnership, joint venture, franchise, or other form of joint enterprise, employment, or fiduciary relationship between the parties, and neither party has authority to contract for or bind the other party in any manner whatsoever. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the relationship between Licensee and Licensor created hereby is not a franchise and Licensee is not a franchisee of Licensor and will not hold itself out as, market itself or refer to itself as a franchisee.
