4. Confidentiality

4.1 Confidentiality Obligations. During the term of this Agreement, from time to time, either party may disclose (the Disclosing Party) or make available to the other party (the Receiving Party), whether orally, electronically or in physical form, confidential or proprietary information concerning the Disclosing Party and/or its business, products or services in connection with this Agreement (together, Confidential Information).  Confidential Information of each party includes, without limitation, business plans, customer relationships, acquisition plans, systems architecture, information systems, computer programs and codes, processes, methods, operational procedures, finances, budgets, policies and procedures, product plans, projections, analyses, plans or results, the existence of any business dealings or agreements between Customer and Bikky, and any other information which is normally and reasonably considered confidential.  Each party agrees that during the term of this Agreement and thereafter: (a) it will use Confidential Information belonging to the Disclosing Party solely for the purposes of this Agreement; and (b) it will not disclose Confidential Information belonging to the Disclosing Party to any third party (other than the Receiving Party’s employees, contractors and/or professional advisors on a need-to-know basis who are bound by obligations of nondisclosure and limited use at least as stringent as those contained herein) without first obtaining the Disclosing Party’s written consent.  Upon request by the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party will return all copies of any Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party.

4.2 Confidentiality Exclusions.  For purposes hereof, Confidential Information will not include any information that the Receiving Party can establish by convincing written evidence: (a) was previously known by the Receiving Party; (b) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to any Confidential Information belonging to the Disclosing Party; (c) was acquired by the Receiving Party from a third party having the legal right to furnish same to the Receiving Party without use or disclosure restrictions; or (d) was at the time in question (whether at disclosure or thereafter) generally known by or available to the public (through no fault of the Receiving Party).

4.3 Required Disclosures.  Nothing herein shall prevent a Receiving Party from disclosing any Confidential Information as necessary pursuant to any court order, lawful requirement of a governmental agency or when disclosure is required by operation of law (including disclosures pursuant to any applicable securities laws and regulations); provided that prior to any such disclosure, the Receiving Party shall use reasonable efforts to (a) promptly notify the Disclosing Party in writing of such requirement to disclose and (b) cooperate with the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s sole cost and expense, in protecting against or minimizing any such disclosure or obtaining a protective order.

4.4 Injunctive Relief.
 The parties acknowledge and agree that the disclosure of Confidential Information may result in irreparable harm for which there is no adequate remedy at law.  The parties therefore agree that the Disclosing Party may be entitled to an injunction in the event the Receiving Party violates or threatens to violate the provisions of this Section 4, and that no bond will be required.  This remedy will be in addition to any other remedy available at law or equity.

5. Payments.

5.3 Payment Terms.  Unless specified otherwise or subject to a good faith dispute, and except as may be otherwise set forth in an Order Form, all amounts due hereunder shall be paid in full (without deduction, set-off or counterclaim) within thirty (30) days after Customer’s receipt of invoice in US dollars at Bikky’s address or to an account specified by Bikky.  If Customer fails to make payment by the due date, Bikky may, in addition to its other rights and remedies, charge a late payment charge of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month, to cover costs of collections as well as interest, or, if lower, the maximum rate allowed by law.  Furthermore, upon written notice to Customer, Bikky may elect to suspend its performance under this Agreement and/or any Order Form until payment is received.

5.4 Expenses.  Where indicated on an applicable Order Form, Customer agrees to pay all of Bikky’s out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Bikky in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement including, without limitation, amounts incurred for air fare, travel, automobile rental, accommodations and an employee per diem.

If the applicable Order Form does not set forth a term, then this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated as provided herein or in an applicable Order Form, continue for one (1) year from the Effective Date, which term shall automatically renew for successive terms of one (1) year each, unless Customer notifies Bikky of its intent not to renew this Agreement at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the applicable term.

9.2 Termination.  This Agreement may be earlier terminated by either party (a) if the other party materially breaches a provision of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice of such breach from the non-breaching party, or (b) immediately upon written notice, if the other party makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a receiver, trustee in bankruptcy or similar officer is appointed to take charge of any or all of the other party’s property, or the other party seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors arrangement, composition or comparable proceeding or such a proceeding is instituted against the other party and is not dismissed within 90 days, or the other party becomes insolvent or, without a successor, dissolves, liquidates or otherwise fails to operate in the ordinary course.  Termination of this Agreement shall terminate all outstanding Order Forms.

10. General Provisions.

10.1 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including the Order Forms) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior negotiations, understandings or agreements (oral or written), between the parties regarding the subject matter of this Agreement (and all past dealing or industry custom).  Any inconsistent or additional terms on any related purchase order, confirmation or similar form, even if signed by the parties hereafter, shall have no effect under this Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Order Form, the terms of the Order Form shall control.  This Agreement supersedes any vendor forms, order forms, invoices, policies, or other terms and conditions provided by Customer.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but taken together constituting one and the same instrument.  Execution of a facsimile/electronic copy shall have the same force and effect as execution of an original, and a facsimile/ electronic signature shall be deemed an original and valid signature.  No change, consent or waiver under this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against which enforcement is sought.  The failure of either party to enforce its rights under this Agreement at any time for any period will not be construed as a waiver of such rights, and the exercise of one right or remedy will not be deemed a waiver of any other right or remedy.  If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.  This Agreement is in English only, which language shall be controlling in all respects.  

10.2 Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, USA, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.  The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement.  Unless waived by Bikky in its sole discretion, exclusive jurisdiction and venue for actions related to this Agreement will be the state or federal courts located in New York having jurisdiction over Bikky’s offices, and both parties consent to the jurisdiction of such courts with respect to any such action.  In any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover from the other party its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such action or proceeding and enforcing any judgment or order obtained.

10.3 Remedies. Except as specifically provided otherwise herein, each right and remedy in this Agreement is in addition to any other right or remedy, at law or in equity.  Each party agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of Section 3 or 4, the non-breaching party will suffer irreparable damage for which it will have no adequate remedy at law.  Accordingly, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable remedies to prevent or restrain such breach or threatened breach, without the necessity of posting any bond.

10.4 Notices.  All notices under this Agreement will be in writing, in English and delivered to the parties at their respective addresses stated herein or at such other address designated by written notice.  Notices will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile; the day after being sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service; or upon receipt, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

10.5 Force Majeure.  In the event that either party is prevented from performing, or is unable to perform, any of its obligations under this Agreement (except payment obligations) due to any cause beyond its reasonable control including, without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, fire, explosion, earthquake, storm, flood, strike, war, insurrection, riot, act of God or the public enemy, failures in any telecommunications, network or other service or equipment that are not within a party’s reasonable control, unauthorized access, breach of firewalls or other hacking by third parties, instructions of government or other public authorities, or judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (not arising out of breach by such party of this Agreement), the affected party’s performance shall be excused or extended for the period of delay or inability to perform due to such occurrence.

10.6 Publicity.  Customer hereby grants Bikky a limited, non-transferable (except to the extent this Agreement is transferred by Bikky in accordance with Section 11.7), non-exclusive license to include Customer’s name and standard logo within lists of customers utilizing Bikky’s services, both on Bikky’s public-facing website and in marketing and promotional materials.  

10.7 Assignment.  This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned, in whole or in part, by either party without the other party’s written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.  However, without consent, Bikky may assign this Agreement to (a) an Affiliate or (b) any successor to all or substantially all of its business that concerns this Agreement (whether by sale of assets or equity, merger, consolidation or otherwise).  This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors, representatives and permitted assigns of each party hereto.

10.8 Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is entered into solely between, and may be enforced only by, Customer and Bikky.  This Agreement will not be deemed to create any rights in third parties or to create any obligations of a party to any third parties.

10.9 Independent Contractors. The parties shall be independent contractors under this Agreement, and nothing herein will constitute either party as the employer, employee, agent or representative of the other party, or both parties as joint venturers or partners for any purpose.

4.4 Injunctive Relief.
 The parties acknowledge and agree that the disclosure of Confidential Information may result in irreparable harm for which there is no adequate remedy at law.  The parties therefore agree that the Disclosing Party may be entitled to an injunction in the event the Receiving Party violates or threatens to violate the provisions of this Section 4, and that no bond will be required.  This remedy will be in addition to any other remedy available at law or equity.

10. General Provisions.

10.1 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including the Order Forms) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior negotiations, understandings or agreements (oral or written), between the parties regarding the subject matter of this Agreement (and all past dealing or industry custom).  Any inconsistent or additional terms on any related purchase order, confirmation or similar form, even if signed by the parties hereafter, shall have no effect under this Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Order Form, the terms of the Order Form shall control.  This Agreement supersedes any vendor forms, order forms, invoices, policies, or other terms and conditions provided by Customer.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but taken together constituting one and the same instrument.  Execution of a facsimile/electronic copy shall have the same force and effect as execution of an original, and a facsimile/ electronic signature shall be deemed an original and valid signature.  No change, consent or waiver under this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against which enforcement is sought.  The failure of either party to enforce its rights under this Agreement at any time for any period will not be construed as a waiver of such rights, and the exercise of one right or remedy will not be deemed a waiver of any other right or remedy.  If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.  This Agreement is in English only, which language shall be controlling in all respects.  

10.2 Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, USA, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.  The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement.  Unless waived by Bikky in its sole discretion, exclusive jurisdiction and venue for actions related to this Agreement will be the state or federal courts located in New York having jurisdiction over Bikky’s offices, and both parties consent to the jurisdiction of such courts with respect to any such action.  In any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover from the other party its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such action or proceeding and enforcing any judgment or order obtained.

10.3 Remedies. Except as specifically provided otherwise herein, each right and remedy in this Agreement is in addition to any other right or remedy, at law or in equity.  Each party agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of Section 3 or 4, the non-breaching party will suffer irreparable damage for which it will have no adequate remedy at law.  Accordingly, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable remedies to prevent or restrain such breach or threatened breach, without the necessity of posting any bond.

10.4 Notices.  All notices under this Agreement will be in writing, in English and delivered to the parties at their respective addresses stated herein or at such other address designated by written notice.  Notices will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile; the day after being sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service; or upon receipt, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

10.5 Force Majeure.  In the event that either party is prevented from performing, or is unable to perform, any of its obligations under this Agreement (except payment obligations) due to any cause beyond its reasonable control including, without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, fire, explosion, earthquake, storm, flood, strike, war, insurrection, riot, act of God or the public enemy, failures in any telecommunications, network or other service or equipment that are not within a party’s reasonable control, unauthorized access, breach of firewalls or other hacking by third parties, instructions of government or other public authorities, or judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (not arising out of breach by such party of this Agreement), the affected party’s performance shall be excused or extended for the period of delay or inability to perform due to such occurrence.

10.6 Publicity.  Customer hereby grants Bikky a limited, non-transferable (except to the extent this Agreement is transferred by Bikky in accordance with Section 11.7), non-exclusive license to include Customer’s name and standard logo within lists of customers utilizing Bikky’s services, both on Bikky’s public-facing website and in marketing and promotional materials.  

10.7 Assignment.  This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned, in whole or in part, by either party without the other party’s written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.  However, without consent, Bikky may assign this Agreement to (a) an Affiliate or (b) any successor to all or substantially all of its business that concerns this Agreement (whether by sale of assets or equity, merger, consolidation or otherwise).  This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors, representatives and permitted assigns of each party hereto.

10.8 Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is entered into solely between, and may be enforced only by, Customer and Bikky.  This Agreement will not be deemed to create any rights in third parties or to create any obligations of a party to any third parties.

10.9 Independent Contractors. The parties shall be independent contractors under this Agreement, and nothing herein will constitute either party as the employer, employee, agent or representative of the other party, or both parties as joint venturers or partners for any purpose.
