California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy.

12(B). Confidentiality: Each party hereto acknowledges that by reason of its relationship to the other herein it will have access to certain information and materials concerning the other party’s business, plans, customers, technology and products that are confidential and of substantial value to such party, which value could be impaired if such information were disclosed to third parties. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that it will not use in any way for its own account or the account of any third party, nor disclose to any third party, any information received. Each party shall protect the confidential nature of such Confidential Information with at least the level of care it takes to protect its own confidential information of similar value, but in no event with less than reasonable care.

12(C) Injunctive Relief. The parties agree that any violation by Dealer of any of the proprietary rights or confidentiality restrictions set forth in this Section 7 could cause Norms Studio Corp irreparable harm without adequate remedy at law. Norms Studio Corp shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief against any such violation or intended violation by Dealer.

12(D) Independent Contractors. Norms Studio Corp and Dealer are independent contractors. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to (i) give either party the power to direct and control the day-to-day activities of the other, (ii) constitute the parties as agents, partners, joint venture partners, co-owners or otherwise as participants in a joint or common undertaking, or (iii) allow Dealer to create or assume any obligation on behalf of Norms Studio Corp for any purpose whatsoever.

12(E). Indemnity. Dealer shall be solely responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold Norms Studio Corp free and harmless from any and all claims, damages or lawsuits (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of the acts or omissions of Dealer, its employees or agents and from any claims or liabilities arising out of, or connected to, any breach by Dealer of its obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any penalties, interest, attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Norms Studio Corp or any person relying upon Dealer’s obligations under this Agreement.

12(F) Governing Law. The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California, without reference to conflict of laws principles

12(G) Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and merges all prior discussions between them. No modification of, or amendment to this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by Norms Studio Corp. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Norms Studio Corp may modify the terms, upon 30 days prior notice, given in a fax, letter, electronic mail or other notice.

12(H) Notices. Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by mail, addressed to the other party at the address shown at the beginning of this Agreement. Such notice shall be deemed to have been given five (5) days after deposit in the mail, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

12(I) Force Majeure. Nonperformance of either party (except for payment obligations) shall be excused to the extent that performance is rendered impossible by strike, fire, flood, act of God, governmental acts, failure of suppliers or any other reason beyond the reasonable control of the non-performing party.

12(J) No Waiver. The failure of either party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement, or the failure to require at any time performance by the other party of any of the provisions of this Agreement, will in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provisions, nor in any way affect the validity of such provision, or the ability of either party to enforce each and every such provision thereafter.

12(K) Non-assignability and Binding Effect. Dealer agrees that its rights and obligations under this Agreement may not be transferred or assigned directly or indirectly without the prior written consent of Norms Studio Corp. Subject to the foregoing sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their successors and assigns.

12(L). Compliance with Applicable Laws. Dealer shall comply with all laws and regulations applicable to Dealer with respect to (i) Products, and (ii) the conduct of business generally. Noncompliance by Dealer or its employees or agents shall be deemed to constitute a material default under this Agreement, justifying termination for default under Section 6(D).

12(M). Severability. If any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision. The parties agree to negotiate in good faith and be bound by a substitute, valid and enforceable provision that most nearly reflects the parties’ intent.

12(N) Limited Liability. Except as set forth in 12(E), Norms Studio Corp’s total liability under any cause of action arising under this agreement shall not exceed the amounts received by Norms Studio Corp from Dealer under this Agreement in the transaction giving rise to the liability. In no event shall either party have any liability to the other or to any other third party, for any lost profits or costs of procurement of substitute goods or services, or for any other indirect, special or consequential damages resulting from the use of the Products, or the failure of the Products to perform, or for any other reason, or arising under any cause of action; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply to any breach of the confidentiality obligations set forth in 12(B), or to dealer’s exceeding its authority granted herein. It is acknowledged by the parties that nothing in this Agreement shall limit dealer’s obligation to pay amounts already due and owing to Norms Studio Corp.

13 Assignment. This Agreement may be assigned by Norms Studio Corp. This Agreement may not be assigned by Dealer.
