WHEREAS, WF has developed certain products and services that provide hands-on or game-based training pertaining to forensic accounting, fraud investigation, fraud detection, fraud prevention, and data sleuthing (the “Licensed Products”);
WHEREAS, Licensee desires to license the Licensed Products from WF for educational use only, and WF and Licensee desire to set forth their agreement and understanding regarding the licensing and use of the Licensed Products by Licensee;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and obligations contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. License.
1.1 License Grant. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement, WF grants to Licensee a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, license to use, access, and copy the Licensed Products for educational use only, without the right to sell, transfer or sublicense to any other entity or person. The grant of this license includes, without limitation, the right of Licensee to use all software programs, works of authorship, trademarks, service marks, inventions, patents, trade secrets, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights now owned or licensed, or in the future developed, owned and/or licensed by WF, that comprise the Licensed Products and/or the products and services thereunder (the “Product IP”) solely in connection with Licensee’s permitted use of the Licensed Products.
1.2 Ownership. The parties agree and acknowledge that WF owns all right, title and interest in and to the Product IP and the Licensed Products. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to grant to Licensee any ownership or rights in the Product IP or the Licensed Products other than the rights granted herein. Licensee will not assert, nor will Licensee authorize, assist, or encourage any third party to assert, any intellectual property infringement claims regarding the Product IP and the Licensed Products.
1.3 License Restrictions. Licensee will not use the Licensed Products in any manner or for any purpose other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement. The rights granted in this Agreement are subject to the following limitations: (a) Licensee may not copy any Product IP; (b) Licensee will not modify, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or create derivative works based on any of the Product IP; and (c) Licensee will use the Product IP in compliance with applicable law, including but not limited to all applicable provisions of copyright and other intellectual property laws.
2. Indemnification.
2.1 Indemnified Parties. Licensee will to the extent permitted by the law applicable to the Licensee and without waiving sovereign immunity defend and indemnify against, and hold harmless WF and its affiliates, and each of their respective employees, officers, directors, and representatives (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and to pay on behalf of or reimburse any Indemnified Party as and when incurred for, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, demands, claims, actions, suits, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses and disbursements (including accountants’ and expert witnesses’ fees) of whatever kind and nature (collectively, “Losses”) which may be imposed on or incurred by an Indemnified Party arising out of or related to any third-party claim concerning: (a) Licensee’s use of the Licensed Products; or (b) breach of this Agreement or violation of applicable law by Licensee. Licensee will reimburse WF employees’ and contractors’ time and materials spent responding to any third-party subpoena or other compulsory legal order or process associated with third party claims at then-current hourly rates.
2.2 Process. WF will promptly notify Licensee of any claim subject to Section 2.1, but failure to promptly notify Licensee will only affect Licensee’s obligations under Section 2.1 to the extent that such failure prejudices Licensee’s ability to defend the claim. Licensee may: (a) use counsel of Licensee’s own choosing (subject to WF’s written consent) to defend against any claim; and (b) settle the claim as Licensee deems appropriate, provided that Licensee obtains WF’s prior written consent before entering into any settlement.
