InVista has developed talent assessment solutions (“Role Specific Solutions” or "Solutions") and has the right to license the Role Specific Solutions to others; Customer desires to access InVista's Role Specific Solutions via InVista's online digital platform, Connect2Vista. In consideration of the mutual covenants and promises expressed herein and other good and valuable considerations, it is agreed as follows:
InVista hereby grants Customer, subject to the terms of this Agreement, a license to access certain Specific Solutions on the Connect2Vista platform.
The term for Customer's access to the InVista Solutions shall begin on the Effective Date and shall continue so long as InVista receives the applicable fees for use of the Solutions. Fees charged during the Term shall be at InVista's then-current rates, unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing.
Either party may terminate this Agreement, effective 30 days after the terminating party gives the other party written notice of termination. In addition, Customer will pay InVista any outstanding fees owed to InVista within 60 days of termination. Failure to cease all use of the Solutions and Connect2Vista platform after termination shall constitute copyright infringement.
InVista is the owner of all right, title and interest in the Role Specific Solutions and the Connect2Vista platform. Customer shall acquire no right or interest in the Solutions or the Connect2Vista platform, by virtue of this Agreement or by virtue of use of the Solutions and/or platform, except the right to use the Solutions and the platform in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All uses of the Solutions and the Connect2Vista platform by Customer shall inure to the benefit of InVista.
Customer agrees to indemnify InVista and hold InVista harmless against any claim or demand or against any recovery in any suit (including taxes of any kind, reasonable attorney's fees, litigation costs, and other related expenses) that may be:
Customer shall not assign this Agreement or any license, power, privilege, right, or immunity, or delegate any duty, responsibility, or obligation hereunder, without the prior written consent of InVista. Any assignment by InVista of its rights shall be made subject to this Agreement.
If any provision of this Agreement shall, to any extent, be invalid and unenforceable such provision shall be deemed not to be part of this Agreement, and the parties agree to remain bound by all remaining provisions.
Customer acknowledges that irreparable damage would result from unauthorized use of the Solutions and/or Connect2Vista platform and further agrees that InVista would have no adequate remedy at law to redress such a breach. Therefore, Customer agrees that, in the event of such a breach, specific performance and/or injunctive relief, without the necessity of a bond, shall be awarded by a Court of competent jurisdiction.
This instrument embodies the whole Agreement of the parties. There are no promises, terms, conditions, or obligations for the Role Specific Solutions licensed hereunder other than those contained herein; and this Agreement shall supersede all previous communications, representations, or agreements, either written or verbal, between the parties hereto, with the exception of any prior agreements that have not previously been terminated by written consent of both parties or by one party if the terms of the agreement allow. This Agreement may be changed only by an agreement in writing signed by both parties.
Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and if sent by certified or registered mail postage prepaid to the addresses first herein above written or to such addresses as either party may from time to time amend in writing. No letter, telegram, or communication passing between the parties hereto covering any matter during this contract, or periods thereafter, shall be deemed a part of this Agreement unless it is distinctly stated in such letter, telegram, or communication that it is to constitute a part of this Agreement and is to be attached as a right to this Agreement and is signed by both parties hereto.
