This includes, but is not limited to, your website, text, images, logos, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, promotional materials, photos, audio, and video content related to your existing website, to the extent needed for GFunnel to execute the Services. This license will end upon termination of the Service Agreement.
b. Ownership of Creative Deliverables and Content: Once GFunnel receives the full, unconditional payment from you, you will own all rights, title, and interest in the Creative Deliverables created under this Agreement. GFunnel preserves a non-exclusive, non-revocable license in the finished Creative Deliverables, and reserves the right to use the Creative Deliverables for advertising, publication, promotion, display, or other purposes.
c. Ownership of Non-custom Website Design: Despite Section 7.b. and Section 7.d., GFunnel retains all copyrights in all non-custom website designs delivered under this Agreement as per Section 1.i. Upon a valid cancellation of this Agreement according to Section 6, and as long as full, unconditional payment has been received by GFunnel for any amounts you owe under this Agreement, you will be granted a perpetual, royalty-free, revocable, non-transferable license to use, copy, and publish any website design and related materials delivered to you under this Agreement. GFunnel reserves the right to revoke this license only if either (1) you do not fulfill the Initial Term and/or pay the waived Setup Fee, or (2) you initiate a payment dispute for any past payment.
d. Websites License: GFunnel grants you, for the Term for which you have paid the applicable Fees, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license, subject to this Agreement and any qualifications contained herein, to access and use the Websites Service to display a Websites website design. This license is limited, non-sublicensable, and intended solely for the purpose of accessing and using the Websites Service in connection with the creation of your websites hosted by GFunnel. This license to access the Websites will terminate upon cancellation or non-payment of any applicable fees.
e. Work Product Ownership: All copyrightable works, ideas, discoveries, inventions, patents, products, marketing data, marketing campaigns, or other information (collectively, the "Work Product") developed in whole or in part by GFunnel during the course of this Agreement shall be the exclusive property of GFunnel. This excludes the Creative Deliverables and any materials referenced as belonging to the Client pursuant to Section 7a.
f. Trademarks: All trademarks mentioned in this Agreement and those used in relation to the Services are the property of their respective owners or licensors. Except for the trademark rights explicitly granted in this Agreement, no other rights to any trademarks are conferred herein. Unauthorized use of GFunnel's trademarks without GFunnel's express written consent is prohibited.
Non-Disclosure Agreement: Both parties, GFunnel, the Client, and the user of the client, as well as any associated individuals or entities within GFunnel sharing information or intellectual property, agree to maintain the confidentiality of all information and know-how communicated during this Agreement. The confidential information is identified as being proprietary and/or confidential, or by the nature of the circumstances surrounding the disclosure, ought to be treated as proprietary and/or confidential ("Confidential Information"). Both parties agree to make no use of such Confidential Information except under the terms and for the purpose of this Agreement.
This confidentiality obligation shall not apply to information that: a) is known to the receiving party prior to receipt from the disclosing party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party; b) becomes known (independently of disclosure by the disclosing party) to the receiving party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party; c) becomes publicly known or otherwise ceases to be secret or confidential, except through a breach of this Agreement by the receiving party.
Non-Compete Agreement: All employees, contractors, clients, users, or any associated individuals or entities within GFunnel agree not to engage in or become associated with any business, practice, or any other professional activity, directly or indirectly, that is in competition with GFunnel during their engagement with GFunnel and for a period of three (3) years following the termination of their engagement with GFunnel for any reason. Also, during their engagement with GFunnel and for a period of three (3) years following its termination for any reason, such parties agree not to solicit, induce, recruit, encourage, or otherwise endeavor to cause or attempt to cause any other employee, contractor, client, or user of GFunnel to terminate their relationship with GFunnel or to engage in any practice, business, or activity that is in competition with GFunnel.
This Non-Compete Agreement, however, does not preclude any individuals or entities within GFunnel from working on tasks unrelated to the Services provided by GFunnel during their engagement or after the termination of the Agreement.
