agreement or wish to use the Image in a manner not permitted by this usage agreement
(for example: as part of an advertisement, point-of-sale material, product

6. EXCLUSIVITY
The Agency and Advertiser will
be authorised to publish the Imagery to the exclusion of all other persons.
However, Raidzer0 retains the right in all cases to use the Imagery in any
manner at any time and in any part of the world for the purposes of advertising
or otherwise promoting Raidzer0’s work. After the exclusivity period indicated
in the Licence to Use Raidzer0 shall be entitled to use the Imagery for any
purposes.
7. CLIENT CONFIDENTIALITY
Raidzer0 will keep
confidential and will not disclose to any third parties or make use of material
or information communicated to him/her in confidence for the purposes of the
Imagery, save as may be reasonably necessary to enable Raidzer0 to carry out
his/her obligations in relation to the commission.
8. SEVERABILITY
Should any clause of this
Agreement be found unenforceable, that will not affect any other clause and each will remain in full force and effect.
9. USER WARRANTIES
You warrant that you will take
all necessary steps to prohibit and prevent duplication or further distribution
of the image(s).
10. RAIDZER0 WARRANTIES
Raidzer0 warrants that the
supplied digital image(s) shall be free from material defects in material and
workmanship for thirty (30) days from the time of delivery. Your sole and
exclusive remedy for a breach of this warranty shall be the replacement of the
image(s) or refund of the purchase price at the sole discretion of Raidzer0. Raidzer0
makes no other warranties, express or implied, and hereby expressly disclaims
any and all other warranties of merchantability, non-infringement or fitness
for a particular purpose.
11. DAMAGES
In no case shall Raidzer0 be
liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, cover or consequential
damage or loss, including, without limitation, lost profits, loss of business,
business interruption or the inability to use equipment or access data, whether
such damages are based upon a breach of express or implied warranties, breach
of contract, negligence, strict tort, product liability or any other legal
theory. This remains the case even if Raidzer0 is advised of the possibility of
such damages. In no case will Raidzer0’s liability under any legal theory
exceed the amount of the licence fee actually paid by you to Raidzer0. The
foregoing limitations will apply even if the warranties in this Agreement fail
in their essential purpose.
(USA only) Some jurisdictions
do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability or incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to
you. The limited warranty, exclusive remedies and limited liability set forth
above are fundamental elements of the agreement between Raidzer0 and you. Raidzer0
would not be able to provide the image(s) on an economic basis without such
limitations.
(Outside of the USA only) The
limitations, exclusions, warranties and liability contained in this agreement
do not effect or prejudice the statutory rights of a
consumer; i.e., a person acquiring goods otherwise than in the course of
business. Raidzer0 shall not be liable for any general, special, direct,
indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising out of the licence and
use of the image(s).
12. INDEMNITY
Raidzer0 agrees to indemnify
the Agency and the Advertiser against all expenses, damages, claims and legal
costs arising out of any failure by Raidzer0 to obtain any clearances for which
he/she was responsible in respect of third party
copyright works, trade marks, designs or other
intellectual property. Raidzer0 shall only be responsible for obtaining such
clearances if this has been expressly agreed before the commission. In all
other cases the Agency shall be responsible for obtaining such clearances and
will indemnify Raidzer0 against all expenses, damages, claims and legal costs
arising out of any failure to obtain such clearances. In the
event that either a court or competent jurisdiction directs us to go to
court, or the matter involves copyright, you agree to fully reimburse Raidzer0
for its reasonable legal fees and disbursements if Raidzer0 is successful in the
suit.
13. PAYMENT
A purchase order for 100% of
the agreed usage quote must be received by Raidzer0 before any use of the works
commences. Payment must be received by Raidzer0 within 30 days from the date of
invoice, as per Raidzer0’s standard payment terms. If the invoice is not paid
in full, Raidzer0 reserves the right to charge interest at the rate prescribed
by the Late Payment of Commercial Debt (Interest) Act1998 from the date payment
was due until the late payment is made.
14. APPLICABLE LAW
This Agreement will be
governed by the laws in force in England and Wales excluding the application of
its conflicting legal rules. This Agreement will not be governed by the United
Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the
application of which is expressly excluded. If any part of this Agreement is
found void and unenforceable, it will not affect the validity of the balance of
the Agreement, which shall remain valid and enforceable according to its terms.
You agree that neither the Images nor the Products will be shipped, transferred
or exported into any country or used in any manner prohibited by export
administration legislation or any other export laws, restrictions or
regulation.
