The terms and conditions of this Agreement and each Order Form are Confidential Information of Morrow.

  1. Morrow shall, at its own expense, defend and hold Customer harmless from and against any and all third party claims and related costs, fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), damages, liabilities, and expenses arising from property damage, personal injury, or death caused by gross negligence, the willful misconduct or willful omission of any Morrow personnel while performing under this Agreement, or while on Customer’s premises.

If Customer provides Morrow with access to computer programs, specifications, content, or other Customer-provided materials (“Customer Materials”), Customer will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Morrow from and against any and all liabilities incurred by or asserted against Morrow in connection with any third party claim to the extent such liabilities result from the infringement of any third party’s trade secret, trademark, copyright, patent rights, or other intellectual or proprietary rights.

  • Limitation of Liability. 

  1. EXCEPT FOR LIABILITY ARISING FROM A PARTY’S BREACH OF SECTION 9 (CONFIDENTIALITY), A PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 10 (INDEMNITY), OR A PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, HOWEVER CAUSED AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, OR ANY LOSS OF BUSINESS, GOODWILL, PROFITS, DATA, SALES, OR REVENUE, WORK STOPPAGE, OR COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, IN EACH CASE WHETHER OR NOT THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

  • Miscellaneous.

  1. Relationship of Customer and Morrow. The parties to this Agreement are independent contractors. There is no relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, or agency created hereby between the parties. Neither party will have the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other party’s behalf without the other party’s prior written consent.
  2. Non-solicit. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of 12 months thereafter, Customer shall not solicit, negotiate with, or offer employment to (whether as an employee, officer, director, partner, consultant, or otherwise), directly or indirectly, Morrow’s current, then-present, or former personnel, with whom Customer has either had contact or been referred to during the term of this Agreement, without first notifying an authorized designee of Morrow of such intent in writing. Due to the scarcity of human resources that possess the skills and experience necessary to perform services on behalf of Morrow, Customer acknowledges that Morrow’s damages and losses resulting from any breach of this Section 11(b) would be extremely difficult to fix in an actual and accurate amount as of the Effective Date. Therefore, it is further agreed that if Customer breaches this Section 11(b) by hiring any Morrow personnel (whether as an employee, officer, director, partner, consultant, or otherwise), Customer will pay a fee equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected one-year annualized compensation for each person hired as liquidated damages. This liquidated damages fee shall be payable by Customer immediately upon acceptance of each such hire. The parties intend that such liquidated damages fee constitutes compensation, and not a penalty. Customer’s payment of the liquidated damages fee, in each case, is Customer’s sole liability and entire obligation and Morrow’s exclusive remedy for any breach by Customer of this Section 11(b).
  3. Cumulative Remedies; Modifications and Waiver.   The parties intend that Morrow’s right to liquidated damages as set forth in Section 11(b) is Morrow’s exclusive remedy for each breach by Customer of its obligations set forth in the same Section 11(b). No modification of, or amendment or addition to this Agreement is valid or binding unless set forth in writing and fully executed by both parties hereto. Any waiver of any right or remedy under this Agreement must be in writing and signed by each party. No delay in exercising any right or remedy will operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. A waiver on one occasion will not be construed as a waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.
  4. Assignment. This Agreement and any rights or obligations hereunder may not be assigned, sublicensed, or otherwise transferred by the parties without the prior written consent of the non-assigning party, except that either party may assign or transfer this Agreement (i) to any of its Affiliates, or (b) upon a change of control of such party, a sale of all or substantially all assets of that party, or by operation of law, in each case, by providing the non-assigning party with prior written notice thereof provided that the assignee agrees in writing to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement and any Order Forms still in effect.
  5. Governing Law. This Agreement and any claim, controversy, right, obligation, or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement, the relationship of the parties, or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights, performance obligations, or duties of the parties will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Colorado, USA, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. The parties agree that the provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods do not apply to this Agreement. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts in Denver County, Colorado, USA and the federal courts in the City of Denver, Colorado, USA. The parties waive any right to jury trial in connection with any action or litigation in any way arising out of or related to this Agreement.
  6. Notices. Any notices under this Agreement will be in writing and sent via certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by overnight courier service. Notices will be sent to the addresses set forth below unless otherwise designated by Customer:

If to Morrow:

 

If to Customer:

 

  1. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable or illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be modified to the extent necessary to render it enforceable, or will be severed from this Agreement, and all other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
  2. Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts each of which when executed will be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts will each constitute one and the same instrument. The parties consent to electronic signatures for the purpose of executing this Agreement by e-mail or other electronic means, subject to compliance with any applicable laws, rules, or regulations. Any such documents that are delivered electronically and accepted are deemed to be “in writing” to the same extent and with the same effect as if this Agreement had been signed manually. In no event will electronic execution expand such assent to include any terms other than those explicitly set forth in this Agreement.
  3. Force Majeure. Except for Customer’s payment obligations hereunder, neither party to this Agreement will be liable to the other for any failure or delay in performance by circumstances beyond its control, including acts of God, fire, labor difficulties, governmental action, or terrorism, provided that the party seeking to rely on such circumstances gives prompt written notice of such circumstances to the other party hereto and uses reasonable efforts to overcome such circumstances.
  4. Subcontractors. Morrow may use the services of subcontractors for the provision of any Services; provided, however, Morrow will be responsible for each subcontractor’s performance of Services under this Agreement and for each subcontractor’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
  5. Publicity. Customer consents to Morrow using Customer’s name and logo in customer lists and on Morrow’s website.
  6. Entire Agreement; Interpretation. This Agreement consists of this Agreement and all Order Forms referencing this Agreement, all of which are incorporated by this reference, and constitutes the entire agreement and sets forth the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the matters described herein and in the Order Forms, and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions with respect thereto. In the event of an inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and a Order Form, the terms of such Order Form will govern, but solely to the extent of the inconsistency. Morrow hereby rejects any different or additional terms of a Customer purchase order or other non-Morrow ordering or similar document, and no terms included in any Customer purchase order or other non-Morrow ordering or similar document will apply to the parties. Headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and will not in any way define or affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. For purposes hereof, the words “include”, “includes”, and “including” mean “include”, “includes”, or “including”, in each case, “without limitation”. 

 

EXHIBIT A

WHEREAS, the “Membership Term” is the period of time described in the Order Form.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1) Non-Exclusive License of Morrow Marks.  Each Party (the “Granting Party”) hereby grants to the other Party (the “Licensed Party”) a nonexclusive, nontransferable, non-sublicenseable, royalty-free license during the Membership Term to use the Granting Party’s Marks in any jurisdiction in which the Granting Party has acquired and/or acquires rights in the Granting Party’s Marks for the sole purpose of identifying and promoting the Granting Party’s business, products, and services in relation to the Network Member’s participation in Morrow Program, and strictly in accordance with this Agreement. If the Granting Party is Morrow, its “Marks” are identified in Appendix 1 to this Exhibit.  This license does not grant rights to use any trademark of Morrow other than those identified as its Marks herein.  If the Granting Party is Network Member, its “Marks” are its name, its primary logos for its business, the name and logo of each of its Network Member Program Participants, and associated designs and logos as specified or approved in writing by Network Member in its discretion from time to time.  Each Party represents and warrants that it owns or otherwise has sufficient rights to its Marks, to the extent the Parties have obtained rights in a given jurisdiction, to grant the rights granted in this Agreement, and its Marks do not infringe any intellectual property rights of any third party.  All of the benefit and goodwill associated with the Licensed Party’s use of the Granting Party’s Marks will inure entirely to the Granting Party.
