Client shall pay UgoWork (or the Authorized Distributor, as applicable) the applicable fees under the payment terms agreed upon in the Agreement, which shall include the fees applicable to: (i) any Battery Subscriptions, including any charges for kWh utilization in excess of the maximum allotted under the Battery Subscription Plan and any other additional fees provided for in this Agreement, where applicable (collectively, the “Fees”). UgoWork shall invoice all applicable Fees to Client on the date of the shipment of the Battery to Client, and monthly thereafter, in accordance with the Basic Order Terms. All amounts owed to UgoWork shall be paid within thirty (30) days of an invoice thereto. If payment of any Fees is overdue, UgoWork may suspend the provision of the Services, and/or suspend or terminate the Battery Subscriptions granted hereunder until full payment of the Fees and interests associated therewith is received. Any amount not paid when due will bear interest from the due date until paid at a rate equal to 1,5% per month (19,56 % per year). Payment shall be made without any right of set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, deduction, debit or withholding for any reason. Client shall also pay, upon demand, all fees incurred by UgoWork in connection with cheques or electronic funds transfers that are returned or canceled for any reason whatsoever, including insufficient funds. No reimbursement will be made for any change to a Battery Subscription during the Term (as defined below). Except as provided for herein, all payments made pursuant to this Agreement are non-refundable.
- Taxes. All Fees and other amounts payable by Client under this Agreement are exclusive of taxes and similar assessments. Client is responsible for all applicable taxes, including without limitation sales tax, goods and services tax (GST), value-added tax, use and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, provincial, territorial, or local governmental entity on any amounts payable by Client hereunder, other than any taxes imposed on UgoWork’s income.
- Additional Fees. Client hereby acknowledges and understands that all service costs, including commissioning costs for the Battery, as well as costs related to any service intervention other than those covered by the Service Level Agreement, are not included in the Fees and may be charged to Client.
- Subscription Fee Adjustment. UgoWork expressly reserves the right to change the Fees applicable to a Battery before the Battery Subscription Effective Date, as applicable, if such date is at least nine (9) months after the date of acceptance of the Order in order to reflect any change in the UgoWork’s pricelist. In such case, UgoWork shall notify Client of such adjusted Fees upon thirty (30) days prior written notice. The adjusted Fees shall be deemed accepted by Client unless Client unilaterally elects to remove the Battery subject to this adjustment from the Basic Order Terms by giving written notice to UgoWork within ten (10) days of the date of such notice. In addition to its other rights and remedies hereunder, UgoWork also reserves the right to change the applicable Battery Subscription plan in the event the Client exceeds the consumption limits of its Battery Subscription plan.
- New Features. UgoWork may, from time to time, develop new modules, versions, functionalities or features to the UgoWork Technology (as defined below) (each an “Upgrade”). Upgrades are generally included with the applicable Battery Subscription Plan, except if UgoWork indicates otherwise (each, an “Excluded Upgrade”). Excluded Upgrades can be added to an Order accepted by both parties, and may be subject to additional fees and terms and conditions. Excluded Upgrades shall not include security patches and updates that are required for the Battery to function substantially as described in this Agreement.
- Fees Increase. UgoWork expressly reserves the right to increase the Fees; upon thirty (30) days prior to written notice to Client, by multiplying such Fees by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the US Producer Price Index (as hereinafter defined) figure published for December of the previous year, and the numerator of which shall be the US Producer Price Index figure for December of the adjustment year (provided that such fraction shall not in any event be less than 1). As used herein, the term “US Producer Price Index” shall mean the United States Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Producer Price Index for Machinery and Equipment: Industrial Material Handling Equipment (WPU1144). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fees will remain unchanged for twelve (12) months following the Battery Subscription Effective Date.
- Excess Fees. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing in the Basic Order Terms, kWh utilization in excess of the maximum allotted under a Battery Subscription Plan will be billed at a rate of 1.50$ per kWh; provided that, in the event of multiple active Battery Subscriptions for the same facility, Client will only be billed for kWh in excess of the limit of all Client combined Battery Subscriptions (except Battery Subscriptions for unlimited plans) for such facility.
6. Term; Termination
- Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date on which the Order is accepted (the “Agreement Effective Date”) and the term of each Battery Subscription starts after the delivery and commissioning of the Battery (the “Battery Subscription Effective Date”) for the duration indicated in the Basic Order Terms (the “Battery Subscription Term”), it being agreed that each Battery ordered in an Order may have a different Battery Subscription Effective Date; and that this Agreement will remain in effect until the end of the last Battery Subscription Term (the “Term”). For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise specified in the Basic Order Terms, each Battery Subscription will automatically renew at the end of its term for successive additional one-year periods unless either party provides the other with thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of non-renewal.
- Termination for Cause. In addition to any other express termination right set forth in this Agreement, UgoWork may terminate this Agreement, effective on written notice to Client, if Client: (i) fails to pay any amount when due hereunder, and such failure continues more than ten (10) days after UgoWork’s (or the Authorized Distributor’s) delivery of written notice thereof; or (ii) breaches any of its representations, warranties or obligations under this Agreement; or (iii) becomes insolvent, bankrupt, or enters receivership, dissolution, or liquidation. Either party may terminate this Agreement, effective on written notice to the other party, if the other party materially breaches this Agreement, and such breach is incapable of cure or being capable of cure, remains uncured ten (10) days after the non-breaching party provides the breaching party with written notice of such breach.
- Acknowledgment. The parties acknowledge and agree that the rights set forth in this Section 6 are the only rights applicable to the Agreement and specifically waive any other rights, including termination rights, whether statutory or otherwise, with respect to the Agreement, including Section 2125 of the Civil Code of Quebec.
- Effects of Expiration or Termination. (i) Upon expiration or termination of the Agreement, the Battery subscriptionSubscriptions (if any) shall end, and: (i) Client shall without delay and at its own expense, perform all tests and repairs (or allow UgoWork to perform such tests and repairs at Client’s expense following the return of the Battery) required in order to return the Battery in the same condition, including exterior appearances, as when Client received the Battery (save for ordinary wear and tear, including to the lithium-ion pack) and in good working order; and (ii) UgoWork shall make the necessary arrangements for the return of the Battery, provided that Client complies with UgoWork’ instructions for the packaging and return of the Battery and be responsible for reasonable shipping, handling and insurance costs.
- Early Termination Fee. In the event this Agreement is terminated by UgoWork for cause pursuant to Section 6(b), Client shall pay to UgoWork: (i) the Fees that would have been payable for the remainder of the Term had the Agreement not been terminated; or (ii) the Fees equivalent to eighteen (18) months’ Fees (based on the Battery Subscription Plan applicable at the time of termination), whichever is greater (the “Early Termination Fee”). Client agrees and acknowledges that UgoWork will suffer damages on account of the early termination of this Agreement and that, in view of the difficulty in ascertaining the amount of such damages, the Early Termination Fee constitutes reasonable compensation for such early termination (and not a penalty).
- Survival of Provisions. Sections 6(d) (Effects of Expiration or Termination), 6(e) (Early Termination Fee), 6(f) (Survival of Provisions), 7 (Ownership and Data), 8 (Restrictions), 9 (Confidentiality), 10 (Representation Warranties), 11 (Indemnification) and 12 (General) of this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement, so as any other provisions, if any, which by their meaning are intended to survive such termination.
7. Ownership and Data
- UgoWork Technology. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Order, Client acknowledges and agrees that, as between the parties, UgoWork owns all rights, titles, and interests, including any and all intellectual property rights, in and to the Platform, the Battery, the Services and any materials that UgoWork has provided to Client under this Agreement (the “UgoWork Technology”).
- Battery. As between the parties, UgoWork will always remain the exclusive owner of the Battery, regardless of the extent to which it has been incorporated into or physically attached to any other movable or immovable property and nothing in the Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon Client any right, title, or interest in and to the Battery beyond the permitted use under this Agreement. Client shall keep the Battery free and clear of any liens or other encumbrances, and shall not permit any act where UgoWork’ title or rights in or to the Battery may be adversely affected. Client must also: (i) take any action, including allowing any registration in a personal rights registry, as may be reasonably requested by UgoWork in order to evidence, perfect or record UgoWork’ ownership right in the Battery; and (ii) notify UgoWork in writing without delay in the event of a seizure or other such action by third parties to enable UgoWork to take appropriate legal action to protect UgoWork’ rights. For clarity, this Section 7(b) does not apply to parts and accessories (including autotransformers, extension cords, etc.) that may be sold to Client by UgoWork outside of Client’s Battery Subscription Plan from time to time.
- Trademarks. Each party hereby grants to the other party a non-exclusive and royalty-free right and license, but no obligation, to use, reproduce, distribute, display, and exhibit the other party’s trademarks, logos and corporate name for the purpose of identifying Client as a client of UgoWork and UgoWork as Client’s service provider. Each party shall comply with all reasonable brand and trademark guidelines and requirements relating to the use of the other party’s trademarks which may be provided from time to time. Either party may at any time request the other party to cease using its trademarks, logos and company names, for any reason or for no reason. For the avoidance of doubt. UgoWork shall have the right to use, reproduce, distribute, display, and exhibit Client’s trademarks, logos and corporate name for the purpose of identifying Client as a client of UgoWork following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, unless and until Client requests that UgoWork ceases such use.
- Reservation of Rights. UgoWork reserves all rights not expressly granted to Client in this Agreement. Except for the limited rights and licences expressly granted under this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement grants, by implication, waiver, estoppel, or otherwise, to Client or any third-party any intellectual property rights or other rights, titles, or interests in or to the UgoWork Technology.
- Usage Data. As between the parties, Client retains all rights, titles, and interests (including any and all intellectual property rights) in and to all data and information collected from Client’s use of the UgoWork Technology (the “Usage Data”). Client hereby grants to UgoWork a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to collect, use, copy, store, transmit, modify and create derivative works from the Usage Data for the provision of the Battery, the Platform and the Services (to the extent applicable), for the overall improvement of the Client’s experience and for other internal business purposes, including for the improvement of the UgoWork Technology and the development of ancillary products and services, including benchmarking services, in each case, to the extent that such Usage Data is aggregated and anonymized. Once the Usage Data has been used to provide Client with the Battery, the Platform and the Services (including reports and analysis) (to the extent applicable), UgoWork shall have no obligation to maintain any Usage Data in its databases and may, in its sole discretion, irrevocably delete any Usage Data from its databases.
- Feedback. If Client sends or transmits any communications or materials to UgoWork suggesting or recommending changes to the Platform, the Battery or the Services, including without limitation, new features or functionalities relating thereto, or any comments, questions, suggestions, or the like (collectively, the “Feedback”), UgoWork shall be free to use such Feedback irrespective of any other obligation or limitation between the parties governing such Feedback. Client hereby assigns to UgoWork on Client’s behalf, all rights, titles, and interests in and to the Feedback and UgoWork shall be free to use, without any attribution or compensation to any party, any ideas, know-how, concepts, techniques, or other intellectual property rights contained in the Feedback, for any purpose whatsoever, although UgoWork is not required to use any Feedback. The parties agree to complete and execute any other documents that may be necessary, in UgoWork’ reasonable opinion, to give full effect to the assignment and waiver of rights set forth under this Section 7(f).
- Third-Party Products. UgoWork may distribute certain third-party products provided with or incorporated into the Battery (collectively, the “Third-Party Products”). For the purposes of this Agreement, such Third-Party Products are subject to their own licence terms. If Client does not agree to abide by the applicable terms of such Third-Party Products, then Client should not install or use them. Client acknowledges and agrees that, as between the parties, the applicable third-party providers own all rights, titles, and interests, including any and all intellectual property rights, in and to any Third-Party Products.
8. Restrictions
Client shall not, and shall not permit any third party to (each, a “Restriction”): (i) modify or create any derivative works based on the UgoWork Technology; (ii) sublicense, distribute, sell, lend, rent, lease, transfer, or grant any rights in or to all or any portion of the UgoWork Technology; (iii) decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, reverse assemble, analyze or otherwise examine, prepare derivative works of, modify, or attempt to derive source code from the UgoWork Technology; (iv) affix or install any accessory, hardware, software or device to or on the UgoWork Technology that is non-approved by UgoWork; (v) remove, modify, alter, destroy, or obscure any of the logos, trademarks, patent or copyright notices, confidentiality or proprietary legends or other notices or markings on the UgoWork Technology; (vi) add any logos, proprietary marks or other notices or markings on the UgoWork Technology without UgoWork’ prior written consent; (vii) use the UgoWork Technology other than in accordance with this Agreement; or (ix) use the UgoWork Technology or UgoWork’ Confidential Information (as defined below) to develop, have developed, or assist in the development of any product or service competitive with the UgoWork Technology.

Upon termination of the Agreement, the receiving party shall promptly return to the disclosing party all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information, or destroy all such copies and certify in writing to the disclosing party that such Confidential Information has been destroyed. Each party’s obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information are effective as the Agreement Effective Date and will expire five (5) years from the date first disclosed to the receiving party; provided however, with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret (as determined under applicable laws), such obligations of non-disclosure will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for as long as such Confidential Information remains subject to trade secret protection under applicable law.
- Remedies. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Section 9, the receiving party agrees that the disclosing party would be irreparably injured and that the disclosing party shall, in addition to other available legal or equitable remedies, be entitled to seek equitable relief, including but not limited to, injunctive relief or restraining order, against such breach or threatened breach.

Client is responsible for all acts and omissions of the representatives it authorizes to access and use the Platform (“Authorized Users”), and any act or omission by an Authorized User that would constitute a breach of this Agreement if taken by Client will be deemed a breach of this Agreement by Client. Client shall take reasonable efforts to make all Authorized Users aware of: (i) this Agreement’s provisions as applicable to such Authorized Users’ use of the Platform; and (ii) the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy related to the Platform and shall cause Authorized Users to comply with such provisions.
5. Suspension of the Platform
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, UgoWork may temporarily suspend Client’s and any Authorized User’s access to any portion or all of the Platform if UgoWork reasonably determines that: (i) there is a threat or attack on any component of the Platform; (ii) Client’s or any Authorized User’s use of the Platform disrupts or poses a security risk to the Platform or to any other client of UgoWork; (iii) Client, or any Authorized User, is using the Platform for fraudulent or illegal activities; (iv) Client’s or any Authorized User’s use of the Platform is prohibited by applicable laws; or (v) Client’s or any Authorized User’s use of the Platform is in breach with the provisions of this Agreement (each, a “Suspension”). UgoWork shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice of any Suspension to Client and to provide updates regarding resumption of access to the Platform following any Suspension. UgoWork shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume providing access to the Platform as soon as reasonably possible after the event giving rise to the Suspension is cured. To the extent permitted under applicable laws, UgoWork shall have no liability for any damage, liabilities, losses (including any loss of profits), or any other consequences that Client or any Authorized User may incur as a result of a Suspension.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, UgoWork shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Platform available in accordance with the Service Level Agreement.
6. Fees; Payment
- Fees. Client shall pay UgoWork (or the Authorized Distributor, as applicable) the applicable fees under the payment terms agreed upon in the Agreement, which shall include the monthly fees applicable to the Platform Subscriptions set forth in the Basic Order Terms and any other additional fees provided for in this Agreement, where applicable (collectively, the “Fees”). UgoWork (or the Authorized Distributor, as applicable) shall invoice all applicable Fees to Client monthly, starting on the Platform Subscription Effective Date. All amounts owed to UgoWork (or the Authorized Distributor, as applicable) shall be paid within thirty (30) days of an invoice thereto. If payment of any Fees is overdue, UgoWork may suspend the provision of the Services, and/or suspend or terminate the Platform Subscriptions granted hereunder until full payment of the Fees and interests associated therewith is received. Any amount not paid when due will bear interest from the due date until paid at a rate equal to 1,5% per month (19,56 % per year). Payment shall be made without any right of set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, deduction, debit or withholding for any reason. Client shall also pay, upon demand, all fees incurred by UgoWork in connection with cheques or electronic funds transfers that are returned or cancelled for any reason whatsoever, including insufficient funds. No reimbursement will be made for any change to a subscription during the Term (as defined below). Except as provided for herein, all payments made pursuant to this Agreement are non-refundable.
- Taxes. All Fees and other amounts payable by Client under this Agreement are exclusive of taxes and similar assessments. Client is responsible for all applicable taxes, including without limitation sales tax, goods and services tax (GST), value-added tax, use and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, provincial, territorial, or local governmental entity on any amounts payable by Client hereunder, other than any taxes imposed on UgoWork’ income.
- Additional Fees. Client hereby acknowledges and understands that all service costs, as well as costs related to any service intervention other than those covered by the Service Level Agreement, are not included in the Fees and may be charged to Client.
- Subscription Fee Adjustment. UgoWork (and the Authorized Distributor, as applicable) expressly reserves the right to change the Fees applicable to a Platform Subscription before the Effective Date, as applicable, if such date is at least nine (9) months after the date of acceptance of the Order in order to reflect any change in the UgoWork’s pricelist. In such case, UgoWork shall notify Client of such Platform Fees, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice. The adjusted Platform Fees shall be deemed accepted by Client unless Client unilaterally elects to remove the Platform Subscription subject to this adjustment from the Basic Order Terms by giving written notice to UgoWork within ten (10) days of the date of such notice.
- New Features. UgoWork may, from time to time, develop new modules, versions, functionalities or features to the UgoWork Technology (as defined below) (each an “Upgrade”). Upgrades are generally included with the applicable subscription plan, except if UgoWork indicates otherwise (each, an “Excluded Upgrade”). Excluded Upgrades can be added to an Order accepted by all parties, and may be subject to additional fees and terms and conditions. Excluded Upgrades shall not include security patches and updates that are required for the Platform to function substantially as described in this Agreement.
- Fees Increase. UgoWork expressly reserves the right to increase the Platform Fees, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Client, by multiplying such Platform Fees by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the US Producer Price Index (as hereinafter defined) figure published for December of the previous year, and the numerator of which shall be the US Producer Price Index figure for December of the adjustment year (provided that such fraction shall not in any event be less than 1). As used herein, the term “US Producer Price Index” shall mean the United States Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Producer Price Index for Machinery and Equipment: Industrial Material Handling Equipment (WPU1144). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fees will remain unchanged for twelve (12) months following the Agreement Effective Date.
7. Term; Termination
- Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date on which the Order is accepted (the “Agreement Effective Date”) and the term of each Platform Subscription starts on the day during which it is made accessible to Client (the “Platform Subscription Effective Date”), it being agreed that different Platform Subscriptions ordered in an Order may have different Platform Subscription Effective Date and will remain in effect until the end of the last subscription term (the “Term”). For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise specified in the Basic Order Terms, each subscription will automatically renew at the end of its term for successive additional thirty (30) day periods unless either party provides the other with thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of non-renewal.
- Termination for Cause. In addition to any other express termination right set forth in this Agreement, UgoWork may terminate this Agreement, effective on written notice to Client, if Client: (i) fails to pay any amount when due hereunder, and such failure continues more than ten (10) days after UgoWork’s (or the Authorized Distributor’s, as applicable) delivery of written notice thereof; or (ii) breaches any of its representations, warranties or obligations under this Agreement. Either party may terminate this Agreement, effective on written notice to the other party, if the other party: (y) materially breaches this Agreement, and such breach is incapable of cure or being capable of cure, remains uncured ten (10) days after the non-breaching party provides the breaching party with written notice of such breach; or (z) becomes insolvent, bankrupt, or enters receivership, dissolution, or liquidation.
- Acknowledgment. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the rights set forth in this Section 6 are the only rights applicable to the Agreement and specifically waive any other rights, including termination rights, whether statutory or otherwise, with respect to the Agreement, including Section 2125 of the Civil Code of Quebec.
- Effects of Expiration or Termination. Upon expiration or termination of the Agreement, the Platform Subscriptions shall end, and: (i) Client and all Authorized Users shall immediately discontinue use of the Platform; (ii) all outstanding Fees shall become immediately payable; and (iii) all rights on the Platform granted herein shall immediately terminate.
- Early Termination Fee. In the event this Agreement is terminated by UgoWork for cause pursuant to Section 7(b), Client shall pay to UgoWork: the Fees that would have been payable for the remainder of the Term had the Agreement not been terminated; or (ii) the Fees equivalent to eighteen (18) months’ Fees (based on the subscription plan applicable at the time of termination), whichever is more (the “Early Termination Fee”). Client agrees and acknowledges that UgoWork will suffer damages on account of the early termination of this Agreement and that, in view of the difficulty in ascertaining the amount of such damages, the Early Termination Fee constitutes reasonable compensation for such early termination (and not a penalty).
- Survival of Provisions. Sections 7(d) (Effects of Expiration or Termination), 7(e) (Early Termination Fee), 7(f) (Survival of Provisions), 8 (Ownership and Data), 8 (Restrictions), 10 (Confidentiality), 11 (Representations and Warranties), 12 (Indemnification) and 13 (General) of this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement, so as any other provisions, if any, which by their nature are intended to survive such termination.
8. Ownership and Data
- UgoWork Technology. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Order, Client acknowledges and agrees that, as between the parties, UgoWork owns all rights, titles, and interests, including any and all intellectual property rights, in and to the Platform, the Battery, the Documentation, the Services and any materials that UgoWork has provided to Client under this Agreement (the “UgoWork Technology”).
- Trademarks. Each party hereby grants to the other party a non-exclusive and royalty-free right and license, but no obligation, to use, reproduce, distribute, display, and exhibit the other party’s trademarks, logos and corporate name for the purpose of identifying Client as a client of UgoWork and UgoWork as Client’s service provider. Each party shall comply with all reasonable brand and trademark guidelines and requirements relating to the use of the other party’s trademarks which may be provided from time to time. Either party may at any time request the other party to cease using its trademarks, logos and company names, for any reason. For the avoidance of doubt. UgoWork shall have the right to use, reproduce, distribute, display, and exhibit Client’s trademarks, logos and corporate name for the purpose of identifying Client as a client of UgoWork following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, unless and until Client requests that UgoWork ceases such use.
- Reservation of Rights. UgoWork reserves all rights not expressly granted to Client in this Agreement. Except for the limited rights and licences expressly granted under this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement grants, by implication, waiver, estoppel, or otherwise, to Client or any third-party any intellectual property rights or other rights, titles, or interests in or to the UgoWork Technology.
- Usage Data. As between the parties, Client retains all rights, titles, and interests (including any and all intellectual property rights) in and to all data and information collected from Client and any Authorized Users’ use of the UgoWork Technology (the “Usage Data”). Client hereby grants to UgoWork a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to collect, use, copy, store, transmit, modify and create derivative works from the Usage Data for the provision of the Battery, the Platform and the Services (to the extent applicable), for the overall improvement of the Client’s experience and for other internal business purposes, including for the improvement of the UgoWork Technology and the development of ancillary products and services, including benchmarking services, in each case, to the extent that such Usage Data is aggregated and anonymized. Once the Usage Data has been used to provide Client with the Battery, the Platform and the Services (including reports and analysis) (to the extent applicable), UgoWork shall have no obligation to maintain any Usage Data in its databases and may, in its sole discretion, irrevocably delete any Usage Data from its databases.
- Feedback. If Client or any Authorized Users sends or transmits any communications or materials to UgoWork suggesting or recommending changes to the Platform, the Battery or the Services, including without limitation, new features or functionalities relating thereto, or any comments, questions, suggestions, or the like (collectively, the “Feedback”), UgoWork shall be free to use such Feedback irrespective of any other obligation or limitation between the parties governing such Feedback. Client hereby assigns to UgoWork on Client’s behalf, and on behalf of its Authorized Users, all rights, titles, and interests in and to the Feedback and UgoWork shall be free to use, without any attribution or compensation to any party, any ideas, know-how, concepts, techniques, or other intellectual property rights contained in the Feedback, for any purpose whatsoever, although UgoWork is not required to use any Feedback. Client further agrees to obtain any waiver of moral rights in UgoWork’ favor from Authorized Users in connection with any Feedback in and to which such Authorized Users may own moral rights. The parties agree to complete and execute any other documents that may be necessary, in UgoWork’ reasonable opinion, to give full effect to the assignment and waiver of rights set forth under this Section 8(e).
- Third-Party Products. UgoWork may distribute certain third-party products provided with or incorporated into the Platform (collectively, the “Third-Party Products”). For the purposes of this Agreement, such Third-Party Products are subject to their own license terms. If Client does not agree to abide by the applicable terms of such Third-Party Products, then Client should not install or use them. Client acknowledges and agrees that, as between the parties, the applicable third-party providers own all rights, titles, and interests, including any and all intellectual property rights, in and to any Third-Party Products.
9. Restrictions
Client shall not, and shall not permit any Authorized User and third party to (each, a “Restriction”): (i) modify or create any derivative works based on the UgoWork Technology; (ii) sublicense, distribute, sell, lend, rent, lease, transfer, or grant any rights in or to all or any portion of the UgoWork Technology; (iii) decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, reverse assemble, analyze or otherwise examine, prepare derivative works of, modify, or attempt to derive source code from the UgoWork Technology; (iv) affix or install any accessory, hardware, software or device to or on the UgoWork Technology that is non-approved by UgoWork; (v) remove, modify, alter, destroy, or obscure any of the logos, trademarks, patent or copyright notices, confidentiality or proprietary legends or other notices or markings on the UgoWork Technology; (vi) add any logos, proprietary marks or other notices or markings on the UgoWork Technology without UgoWork’ prior written consent; (vii) use the UgoWork Technology other than in accordance with this Agreement; or (ix) use the UgoWork Technology or UgoWork’ Confidential Information (as defined below) to develop, have developed, or assist in the development of any product or service competitive with the UgoWork Technology. In addition to UgoWork’ other remedies in the event of a breach by Client of a Restriction, UgoWork may, in its sole discretion, stop providing all or part of the subscriptions and/or Services provided herein.
10. Confidentiality
- Use and Safeguard of Confidential Information.

Confidential Information does not include information that, at the time of disclosure, is: (i) in the public domain; (ii) known to the receiving party at the time of disclosure; (iii) rightfully obtained by the receiving party on a non-confidential basis from a third-party; or (iv) independently developed by the receiving party.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited extent required: (y) in order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law; provided however that the party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first have given written notice to the other party and made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order; or (z) to establish a party’s rights under this Agreement, including to make required court filings. Upon termination of the Agreement, the receiving party shall promptly return to the disclosing party all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information, or destroy all such copies and certify in writing to the disclosing party that such Confidential Information has been destroyed. Each party’s obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information are effective as of the Agreement Effective Date and will expire five (5) years from the date first disclosed to the receiving party; provided however, with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret (as determined under applicable laws), such obligations of non-disclosure will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for as long as such Confidential Information remains subject to trade secret protection under applicable law.
- Remedies. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Section 10, the receiving party agrees that the disclosing party would be irreparably injured and that the disclosing party shall, in addition to other available legal or equitable remedies, be entitled to seek equitable relief, including but not limited to, injunctive relief or restraining order, against such breach or threatened breach.
