“Configuration” means the event production and configuration services necessary to configure the Event (as opposed to Customer in its capacity as a self-producer under a Producer Subscription and as opposed to video production services Customer may elect to purchase under an Order Form). If Customer purchases Configuration services, a Configuration fee is added to the Event as identified in an Order Form. As part of the Configuration fee, Notified will provide the following: Event timeline, Environment Configuration, Event setup, QA and testing, Event delivery and post-Event reporting.

“Producer Subscription” means, if Customer is a self-service client and desires to produce and configure Events, a producer subscription as required to access the Hosted Service and produce events as an Event administrator. The Producer Subscription is a seat subscription and is assigned only to credentialed individuals and may not be shared between individuals, but may be reassigned upon Customer’s written request.

 

3. Right to Use. Notified hereby grants to Customer: (i) the non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the Hosted Service to sponsor and participate in the Event; (ii) the number of individual, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable administrator subscriptions specified in the Order Form to access and use the Hosted Service as an Event administrator to configure and produce the Event (each a “Producer Subscription”); and (iii) the right to provide access and use to Attendees (as defined below) to participate in an Event. An Attendee is a user who registers to participate in an Event in any capacity and participates in such Event (each an “Attendee” and collectively “Attendees”).

Neither Customer nor Attendees shall have the right to license, sublicense, sell, resell, transfer, assign, distribute or otherwise commercially exploit or make available to any third party the rights granted herein or the Notified Proprietary Rights other than in connection with an Event as expressly contemplated hereby.

 

4. Support & Maintenance. All Events include basic production support, which includes access to: (i) platform-wide upgrades, features, and fixes; (ii) 24/7 online resource documents; and (iii) free on-demand training. Additional event and video production support service packages may be purchased by Customer by entering into an Order Form for these packages. Notified performs maintenance activities on the Hosted Service on Saturdays and Sundays between the hours of 12am and 2am CST (“Scheduled Maintenance”). Notified reserves the right to perform necessary or emergency maintenance at its sole discretion (“Unscheduled Maintenance”). Not all maintenance activities require the Hosted Service to be inaccessible; however, it is possible that during such maintenance activities, the Hosted Service may not be accessible by Customer or Attendees.

 

5. Fees: Customer shall pay the Total Fee specified in the Order Form, according to the payment terms therein. The Total Fee is Customer’s minimum commitment during the term of the Agreement.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that Notified has no obligation to monitor information or material stored within the Hosted Service.

Terms & Conditions

 

Invoicing. Payment terms shall be as set forth in the Agreement. The applicable currency will be stated in the Order Form. Unless specified otherwise in the Order Form, Notified shall bill for the Services in advance. If Customer uses features not listed in the Order Form, Customer will be charged for such features as provided for in the Agreement. In the event that the Services provided under the Order Form remain active beyond the end of the Order Form Term and Customer uses the Services after such time, Customer shall pay Notified the monthly subscription costs set forth herein for any month (or portion thereof) during which Customer uses the Services beyond the Order Form Term. In addition to the rates for the Services listed in the Order Form, Customer shall pay all applicable fees, duties, tolls, administrative assessments, surcharges, or taxes now or hereafter attributable to the Services and included on Customer’s invoice. Notified will assess any applicable fees, duties, tolls, administrative assessments, surcharges, or taxes, based on the geographic location of the billing address of the billing contact in the Notified billing system. Should Notified not have an address for the billing contact, then fees, duties, tolls, administrative assessments, surcharges, or taxes will be applied based on the geographic location provided at the account level in the Notified billing system. In the event Customer is required by law to make any deductions or to withhold from Customer’s payment to Notified, Customer shall pay Notified such additional amounts so that the net amount Notified receives from Customer is equal to the full amount for the charges which Notified would have received from Customer had such withholding not been made.

Exhibit 1

Video Production Addendum

 

1. Video Production Services. Notified will furnish the equipment, materials, supplies, video recording services, and the number of post-production hours associated with the package Customer purchased in order to produce video content to be broadcast within an Event, as set forth in the Agreement or subsequently executed work order (the “Video”). Production services will be provided during a pre-scheduled video recording session (a “Production Session”).

 

2. Scheduling & Customer Obligations. Following the execution of the Agreement, the parties will create an Event timeline, including the Production Session dates, length, required parties, and applicable content submission, editing, acceptance, or other deadlines. Customer will adhere to the Event timeline created by the parties, including any acceptance or approval deadlines. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Notified’s delivery of the Video is dependent on Customer’s meeting such deadlines. Notified is not liable or responsible for any delay in providing the Video to Customer, failure to meet timeline dates, or failure to complete the Video where Customer has not met a required deadline or any deadline upon which Notified’s obligations are dependent. Customer will provide the subject matter, including actors, speakers, subjects, script, clips, images, music, and the like, as applicable during the Production Session or thereafter, as necessary. Customer represents and warrants that Customer has obtained all necessary rights, releases, or clearances to broadcast (i) the script, interviews, graphics, clips, images, music, musical compositions, sound bites, or other content, or (ii) any performance by any actor or speaker, provided to Notified for inclusion in the Video. In addition, Customer shall secure releases for any location where the Production Session is performed. Customer acknowledges that in some jurisdictions, collective bargaining agreements may govern the use of on-site video production labor and labor rates. Customer will be responsible for any increase in fees incurred by Notified due to labor or collective bargaining agreements, provided such information is provided to Customer prior to entering into the Order Form.

 

3. Acceptance Schedule. Following the Production Session, Notified will deliver to Customer an edited version of the Video. Customer will have 3 business days to accept or reject such Video. Customer’s sole basis for rejection of the Video will be the failure of the Video to meet the specifications set forth in the Order Form, work order, or Event timeline, in Customer’s sole and reasonable determination. Should Customer reject the Video, Customer will clearly indicate the grounds for rejection in writing and Notified will have 10 business days to bring the Video into conformance with the aforementioned specifications.

 

4. Rescheduling. Should Customer desire to reschedule any Production Session,

4.1 Customer will owe Notified a reschedule fee for all additional hours incurred by Notified as a result of Customer’s rescheduled date at $220.00 USD per hour and

4.2 Customer agrees that should Customer reschedule any scheduled Production Session within 48 hours of such session, Customer will owe Notified the aggregate hourly fees for all production personnel for both the rescheduled Production Session and the later scheduled Production Session.

 

5. Ownership. Subject to Customer’s compliance with the terms of the Agreement, including payment in full for the video production services provided hereunder, the Video will be considered a work made for hire and Customer alone will own all right, title and interest in and to the Video. If, for any reason, the Video would not be considered a work made for hire under applicable law, then Notified does hereby sell, assign, and transfer to Customer, its successors and assigns all right, title and interest in and to the Video, including registrations, and/or applications relating thereto, as well as any renewals and extensions thereof.

 

Exhibit 2

Services Addendum

1. Rescheduling an Event. Customer shall work with Notified to schedule each Event. If known, the date of an Event will be noted on an Order Form executed by and between the parties. Once the date of an Event is established, Notified may allow Customer to reschedule the Event; provided that, Notified shall invoice Customer for any additional hours incurred by Notified due to the rescheduling of the Event at Notified’s hourly service rate of $220 USD per person per hour.

 

2. Scheduling Events with Over 10,000 Attendees. For Events with planned attendance of over 10,000 concurrent users, Customer agrees to notify Notified at least thirty (30) days in advance in order to ensure the appropriate resources are available to Customer.

 

3. Standalone Webcast Content Submission Deadline. Customer is responsible for the collection of all Content required for the Standalone Webcast Event. Customer shall submit content in accordance with the content collection deadlines below (each a “Content Submission Deadline”). Notified reserves the right to reject Content submitted subsequent to the applicable Content Submission Deadline in order to promote the integrity and success of the Standalone Webcast Event. As noted below, Notified may allow Content to be submitted subsequent to any Content Submission Deadline and charge Customer a Rush Fee (“Rush Fee”). The Rush Fee shall be equal to $200 USD per occurrence. The Rush Fee shall be invoiced to Customer in addition to any other fees owed.

(i) Timelines. In connection with each Standalone Webcast Event, Notified will work with Customer to create a timeline which will outline Customer’s obligations. Customer acknowledges that it is Customer’s responsibility to meet such deadlines and that Notified is not responsible for any issue, delay or other failure associated with Customer’s failure to meet such deadlines.

(ii) Escalation Process. Each party shall identify personnel to serve as executive sponsors to serve as a point of contact (each an “Executive Sponsor”). In the event any Standalone Webcast Event Content submission deadline is missed, or is in danger of being missed, the Executive Sponsors will discuss (via telephone or email) applicable Rush Fees, an implementation plan for either submitting Event Content according to a revised schedule (including any Rush Fees), or reducing the Content to be submitted.

(iii) Extraordinary Situations. Where Notified determines that late or missing Standalone Webcast Event Content will result in a failed Standalone Webcast Event, Notified senior management will meet with Customer’s Executive Sponsor to determine whether the Customer may deviate from any of the applicable deadlines, or whether it is necessary to reschedule the Standalone Webcast Event.
