c) In addition, Clients may not send any Unsolicited Email by use or means of the wTAMs and/or Solutions. "Unsolicited Email" is defined as email sent to persons other than: (i) persons with whom the Clients have an existing business relationship, OR (ii) persons who have consented to the receipt of such email, including publishing or providing their email address in a manner from which consent to receive email of the type transmitted may be reasonably implied.

Clients shall honor any and all such revocations of consent within 72 hours.
e) The Client shall be responsible to ensure that the Principals comply with the foregoing policies set out in this Clause 9A, and any breach by the Principals shall be deemed to be a breach by the Client.
10. Intellectual Property
a) “IP Rights” are hereby defined as all patents, trade marks, service marks, logos, goodwill, get-up, trade names, internet domain names, rights formulas, designs, copyright (including rights in computer software) and moral rights, database rights, rights in know-how, trade secrets, inventions, models, methodologies, processes, proprietary information and other intellectual property rights, in each case whether registered or unregistered and including applications for registration, and all rights or forms of protection having equivalent or similar effect anywhere in the world which subsist in (without limitation):
whether or not the same were developed with reference to information or materials provided by Clients and/or Principals, or at the request or instructions of Clients and/or Principals.
b) The Clients acknowledge and agree (and shall procure that the Principals acknowledge and agree) that the IP Rights shall be and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Fournaise at all times, and that the wTAMs, Services, Solutions, Programs and other software and tools provided by Fournaise consist of proprietary information and trade secrets of Fournaise. The Clients shall not (nor permit or facilitate the Principals to) have access to or any rights whatsoever over the IP Rights (including but not limited to copy, reproduction and/or usage, even partial) at any time whatsoever. During the validity period of the Clients Agreements (and/or Solutions) and after their expiration (or sooner termination), the Clients acknowledge and agree (and shall procure that the Principals acknowledge and agree) not to (directly or indirectly) copy, reproduce or use (whether partially or in full) any of the IP Rights, create derivative works or similar products or solutions or engines from the IP Rights, post or link to or host on any website, domain, network or bulletin board, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, grant security over, licence/sublicence any of the IP Rights or do anything to prejudice or invalidate Fournaise’s IP Rights, or attempt to do so for any reason whatsoever. In the event of a breach of the IP Rights by the Clients or the Principals, the Clients specifically agree to pay Fournaise an IP Rights breach compensation fee (the “IP Rights Breach Compensation Fee”) equivalent to 30 times the fees agreed by the Clients in the Clients Agreements related to the Services and/or Solutions for which the Clients breached one or more IP Rights, or US$1 million, whichever is higher. A breach by the Principals of the IP rights shall be deemed to be a breach by the Clients.
c) In the specific case where the Services include the delivery of performance reports, tracking reports and/or any other reports (the “Reports”) to the Clients, Fournaise shall grant to the Clients a perpetual, non-revocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to Fournaise’s:
For the avoidance of doubt, the Client may make copies of the Relevant Deliverables for the Principals, and for their (the Client’s and the Principals’) respective affiliates and contractors to only use the same (but not to make copies thereof) for the purposes of the performance of their obligations towards the Client, provided that such Principals, affiliates and contractors:
By way of illustration, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Client is to ensure no part of the Relevant Deliverables is disclosed by the Client, the Client’s affiliates and contractors, and the Principals to marketing performance management & measurement (MPM) providers, marketing effectiveness tracking & boosting (MarkEff) providers, market research service providers, data analysis service providers, insights providers and their respective suppliers.
The "Relevant Deliverables" shall refer to the Reports and any final notes, files, presentations and documents, including but not limited to Fournaise Content+Structure documents (“FCS”) and results presentations (“Results Presentations”), delivered in any form (including verbally and by email) by Fournaise to the Client arising from any workshop or presentation or meeting or communication between the Client and/or Fournaise in relation to the Services/wTAMs/Solutions/Programs.
In all cases, the Clients shall be solely responsible for any breach of confidentiality or restraint use undertakings by any person to whom any part of the Reports and/or of the Relevant Deliverables has been disclosed.
d) Where the Reports are delivered to the Principals (whether through the Clients or directly to the Principals), the foregoing subclause c) shall apply to the Principals, and it shall be the responsibility of the Clients to ensure that the Principals comply with the requirements of the foregoing subclause c) as if all the references to “Clients” therein are substituted with “Principals”, and any breach by the Principals of any of such requirements shall be deemed to be a breach by the Clients. This subclause d) shall not limit the application of subclause c) to the Clients in any event.

The How-Parameters, How-Exposure, How-Capture and How-Calculations are called the “Four Hows”.
Fournaise has spent a significant amount of money over the years to develop its proprietary Solutions , Programs and the IP Rights (including the Four Hows). Therefore, to protect its intellectual property, know-how and trade secrets Fournaise follows the black box (“Black Box”) model in anything it does (including for the IP Rights and all its Programs and Solutions). This Black Box model means that inputs and outputs (and the relationships between them) (including but not limited to Parameters, results and analyses) may be fully or partially explained and/or shown by Fournaise to the Clients and/or the Principals at Fournaise’s sole discretion, but internal structure, processes and working of the Solutions, Programs and IP Rights will remain strictly confidential and will not be shared, explained or shown to the Clients and/or the Principals by Fournaise at any time for any reason whatsoever.
f) Names, personal details, profile, contact, log and other information of the Audience and regarding the Audience (the “Audience Details”) solely belong to Fournaise and/or Fournaise partners/suppliers at all times: the Audience Details will be kept strictly confidential at all times and will not be shared by Fournaise with the Clients or the Clients’ clients/agencies/partners/suppliers, the Principals or anybody at any time and for any reason whatsoever. In addition, all the Audience’s individual responses to the FACS and/or insights it provided to Fournaise, and all related raw data solely and exclusively belong to Fournaise and will not be provided to (or shared with) the Clients or the Clients’ clients/agencies/partners/suppliers, the Principals or anybody else outside the Fournaise operations for any reason whatsoever.
g) For audit, compliance and/or internal training purposes Fournaise reserves the right to record at its sole discretion the face-to-face, phone, online and/or video discussions, meetings and/or presentations of any kind (including but not limited to Results Presentations) it had/has with the Clients in relation to the Services/wTAMs/Solutions/Programs (the “Meetings”). The Clients hereby expressly authorise Fournaise to make such recordings of the Meetings. The Clients also expressly agree not to record any of the Meetings for any reason whatsoever. To protect Fournaise’s intellectual property the Clients agree that no (full or partial) original or copy of any recording of any Meeting will be provided to the Clients by Fournaise for any reason whatsoever.
h) In the specific case Fournaise designs, creates and/or conceptualises creative artworks, ads, and other communication materials and/or campaigns via Fournaise ResultMachine™ for the purpose of providing the Services stipulated in the Fournaise ResultMachine™ quotations approved by the Clients (the “Ads”), upon payment of all fees due by the Clients to Fournaise, Fournaise shall, subject to Clause 10 b), assign to the Clients (or the Principals, if so directed by the Clients) all rights, title and interest in and to the Ads (and every part thereof), including copyright, for the full period of copyright and other applicable rights. Clients agree (and hereby undertake to procure that the Principals agree) that such assignment includes an irrevocable, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free licence of the rights to Fournaise to retain a copy of, use, develop, create enhancements, reproduce, distribute and adapt the Ads for portfolio, archival and internal training, research, commercialisation, training, and to promote Fournaise’s services and solutions. Any assignment shall be subject to such agreement of the Principals as aforesaid.
11. The Vendors acknowledge and agree that all IP Rights are the sole and exclusive property of Fournaise and the Vendors shall not have access to or any rights over the IP Rights (including but not limited to reproduction and usage, even partial) unless they have been specifically granted in writing by Fournaise.
12. Materials Policy. In connection with User Submissions of material on the Solutions by the Clients and/or the Principals and/or the Clients’ agents/partners, the Clients further agree that they will not and will procure that the Principals will not:
(i) submit and/or load and/or display material that is copyrighted, protected by trade secret or otherwise subject to third party proprietary rights, including privacy and publicity rights, unless the Clients are the owner of such rights or have permission from their rightful owner to post the material and to grant Fournaise all rights necessary to publish, reproduce or distribute the same without infringing any third party rights;
(ii) publish falsehoods or misrepresentations that could damage Fournaise or any third party;
(iii) submit material that is unlawful, obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening, pornographic, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or encourages conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, violate any law, or is otherwise inappropriate;
(iv) post advertisements or solicitations of business;
(v) impersonate another person.
Fournaise does not endorse nor warrant the accuracy or reliability of any User Submission or any opinion, recommendation, or advice expressed therein, and Fournaise expressly disclaims any and all liability in connection with User Submissions. Fournaise does not permit copyright infringing activities and infringement of intellectual property rights on its Website and/or Solutions, and Fournaise will remove all Content and User Submissions if properly notified that such Content or User Submission infringes on another's intellectual property rights. Fournaise reserves the right to remove Content and User Submissions without prior notice. Fournaise will also terminate a Client’s or Principal’s access to its Website and/or Solutions, if the Client and/or the Principals are in Fournaise’s sole discretion determined to be repeat infringers. A repeat infringer is a Client or Principal who has been notified of infringing activity more than twice and/or has had a User Submission removed from the Website and/or Solution more than twice. Fournaise also reserves the right to decide whether Content or a User Submission is appropriate and complies with these Terms and Conditions for violations other than copyright infringement and violations of intellectual property law, such as, but not limited to, pornographic, obscene or defamatory material, or for being irrelevant or excessive in length. Fournaise may remove such User Submissions and/or terminate a Client's or Principal’s access for uploading such material in violation of these Terms and Conditions at any time, without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
13. Fournaise shall be entitled from time to time to assign or sub-contract part (or all) of its obligations for the purpose of providing the Services to third parties, agents and/or partners (the “3rd Parties”). The Clients agree not to directly or indirectly solicit or endeavor to solicit or entice away these 3rd Parties for any reasons whatsoever without the prior written agreement of Fournaise.
14. Neither the Clients, Principals nor the Vendors will be entitled to use, reproduce, distribute or display any of Fournaise trade names, trade marks or service marks (including, without limitation, the Fournaise logo and the Fournaise name) in any manner unless approved in writing in advance by Fournaise. If Fournaise provides any such approval, the Clients (and the Clients shall procure that the Principals) and/or Vendors will comply with any guidelines regarding the use of such logos, names or marks provided by Fournaise.
15. In the case Vendors have to translate and/or integrate and/or program translated languages as part of their Services, they must follow procedures and/or processes agreed in writing with Fournaise (including but not limited to formats of English transcript documents).
16. The Clients shall pay to Taibeet and/or Fournaise all costs, expenses, fees and charges ("Charges") for the amounts and in the manner stipulated in the Clients Agreements. The Charges shall be paid to Taibeet and/or Fournaise net of all applicable bank charges, taxes, government surcharges, levies, penalties, remittance charges, foreign exchange control charges, administrative charges and other third party fees/expenses that may be incurred for the purposes of remitting the Charges to Taibeet and/or Fournaise, which shall be the sole responsibility of the Clients and shall be borne/paid by the Clients at all times.

b) Clients Agreements related to or including Fournaise CustomerGenerator™ and/or Fournaise ShopperConvertor™ (hereby defined as the “Period-based Clients Agreements”) include a period that corresponds to the number of months or years the Clients have agreed to use, activate, apply, run, deploy and/or renew their contract with Fournaise for both or one of these two Solutions (hereby defined as the “Period”):
17. Taibeet and/or Fournaise reserve the right to amend, vary, or supplement part or all of the Terms and Conditions herein at any time without prior verbal or written notice. All Clients and Vendors shall be bound by any such variations, and are responsible for regularly checking Fournaise’s website for the latest updates to these Terms and Conditions.
For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a conflict between the Terms and Conditions (including any amendments, variations, supplements or changes thereto), and any other terms or conditions contained in any other correspondence, note, receipt, invoice, purchase order, delivery order, or any other relevant document whatsoever, the Terms and Conditions shall prevail, without any exception whatsoever, regardless of when the Clients Agreement is signed.
However, in the event of a conflict between the Terms and Conditions (including any amendments, variations, supplements or changes thereto), and any other terms or conditions contained in the Clients Agreements, the Terms and Conditions shall prevail, provided always that Fournaise may at its sole discretion make specific written provision in the Clients Agreement for a specific term in the Clients Agreement to prevail over a specific term in these Terms and Conditions.

Termination of Clients Agreements/Vendors Agreements for any reason shall not affect any rights or liabilities accruing to either party before such termination.
19. The failure of Taibeet and/or Fournaise hereto to insist in any one or more instances upon the strict performance of any of the provision of these Terms and Conditions or a Clients Agreement or Vendors Agreement, or to take advantage of any of its rights thereunder, shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision thereof.
20. Where the Services are to be provided to or for the benefit of a Principal, it shall be the sole responsibility of the Clients, notwithstanding that Fournaise and the Principal may be dealing directly with little or without reference to the Clients, to ensure that the Principal observes and performs all the obligations required of Principals under these Terms and Conditions and all obligations of the Clients under these Terms and Conditions as if the Principals were named hereunder in place of the Clients. Any breach by the Principal of these Terms and Conditions shall be deemed to be a breach by the Clients hereunder. This Clause shall not be construed to limit the obligations of the Clients under these Terms and Conditions.
