UNIK Services Agreement

THIS MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT between UNIK (UNIK), A Florida Company, and “Client”. UNIK and the Client are sometimes collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Parties”.
The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the date listed above and shall continue until terminated by either party upon at least thirty (30) days written notice, unless otherwise terminated as provided for in this Agreement (the “Term”).

This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions for e-mail campaigns and data services to be delivered by UNIK and Client pursuant to each Insertion Order or Estimate entered into by the Parties during the Term. Each Insertion Order or Estimate is sometimes referred to as an “Order Contract” in this Agreement. Client shall not use exit pop-up window links on any Insertion Order related campaign landing pages without the prior, written consent of UNIK.

1.1 Invoicing
I. Unless otherwise specifically stated in a PO or Estimate executed by both Parties, invoices shall be rendered on a monthly basis, or upon completion of UNIK’s. Unless otherwise specifically stated in an Order Contract executed by both Parties, any undisputed portion of an invoice shall be paid upon completion.

II. If any invoices become more than thirty (30) days “past due”, UNIK, in its sole discretion, may immediately terminate this Agreement and any related Order Contracts and/or may suspend providing any or all of the Services to Client. In addition, invoices thirty (30) days or more past due are subject to interest charges of one and one-half (1.5) percent per month or eighteen percent (18%) annual rate, or the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is lower. Client shall also reimburse UNIK for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by UNIK in collecting such overdue invoices. UNIK may apply any deposits made in connection with an Order Contract to outstanding amounts owed by Client to UNIK. Client is not entitled to any credits or refunds.

1.2 Confidentiality
Each Party shall keep confidential and shall not disclose confidential information of the other Party, and shall not use such information except as required to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Each party will observe in respect of the confidential information of the other the same standards and practices as it observes for its own confidential information of similar character and importance but in any event not less than commercially reasonable standards and practices. Each Party acknowledges that a breach of this Section would cause the other Party irreparable harm and that the harmed Party shall be entitled to seek appropriate injunctive relief in the event such breach is threatened or occurs. For the purposes of this Section, the following shall not constitute “confidential information”: (i) information in the public domain, (ii) information already known to the receiving Party, (iii) information acquired by the receiving Party from another source without violation of any confidentiality obligation, (iv) information developed by a Party independently of information received from the disclosing Party, or (v) information a Party is required to disclose by law or a final order of a court or other governmental agency or authority of competent jurisdiction.
The duties and obligations to protect the Information shall survive for three (3) years following termination or expiration of the Term. Within ten (10) days of the termination or expiration of the Term, each Party shall return all Information of the other Party in its possession or control to the other Party.

1.3 CAN-SPAM Compliance; Compliance with all Laws
I. UNIK represents and warrants that (i) each e-mail address pursuant to this Agreement has been obtained through “Affirmative Consent” as defined in the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, and all amendments thereto (the “CAN-SPAM Act”); and (ii) UNIK will not engage in any conduct prohibited by the CAN-SPAM Act in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, e-mail harvesting, dictionary attacks or other deceptive practices.

III. Client shall provide UNIK any and all “Advertiser” suppression lists, including, without limitation, all opt-out names, for specific to offers or advertisements to be sent by UNIK pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Client must provide UNIK with suppression lists (if applicable) seventy-two (72) hours in advance of any scheduled campaign deployment. Client shall also provide UNIK with an Internet-based opt-out mechanism, such as a functioning email address or opt-out URL, as well as an address for postal opt-outs.

If a compliance issue arises related to deployment of any campaign by Client, UNIK, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether or not the e-mail deployment complies with the CAN-SPAM Act and all applicable laws, rules and regulations and UNIK has the capacity to suspend or reject such campaign(s) deployment and may terminate services to Client.
