Client grants to Vengreso a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to use, store, display, reproduce, modify, create derivative works, perform, and distribute Client Content on the Website or through the Programs. For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Client Content shall not constitute confidential information, and the disclosure of Client Content shall not implicate Section 5 of this Agreement. In addition, Client represents, warrants and agrees that Client owns or has all licenses and rights to use and to authorize Vengreso to enable, use, display, and distribute Client Content. Vengreso reserves the right to remove any material Client post at any time and for any reason. Client Content that constitutes inappropriate or illegal behavior, including without limitation, abusive, defamatory, obscene, or inflammatory comments, or posts that violate local rules regarding online conduct are strictly prohibited. Vengreso reserves the right to take down all such Client Content. Vengreso further reserves the right to take down Client Content that is reported as spam or Client Content that creates technical issues.
Licensing. Beginning with implementation and throughout the Term of the Programs, Vengreso will provide to Client questionnaires, templates, workbooks, playbooks, videos, audiocasts, tracking sheets, on-demand training material, PowerPoint decks, live or recorded trainings, or other similar materials. In all such cases, Vengreso is licensing use of these materials to Client for the Term and for each renewal period (provided the Parties renew the Agreement) to only those approved individuals who may need it for implementation and set-up, and to the Participants for which Client has purchased the Programs as identified in the applicable Statement of Work, if any. The foregoing materials shall not be provided to any third party, including others within the Client’s business, without Vengreso’s prior written consent. For illustrative example, if Client purchases the Programs for 50 of its Participants, then each of those 50 Participants will be assigned a username with access to the Programs, and only those specific Participants are permitted to access the Programs in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Statement of Work, if any. Once a username is assigned to a specific Participant, it must only be used by that specific Participant. Any additional Participants of the Client are required to purchase a license to use from Vengreso at the following rates: LinkedIn Profile Makeover for Teams Workbook is $350.00 per Participant for a 12-month license; or LinkedIn Sales Mastery, or Selling with Video, all for either Individual Clients or Teams Clients (defined below), must purchase a 12-month license at the rates defined in the applicable Statement of Work.
Local Rules. Client hereby agrees to comply with all applicable local rules regarding online conduct and acceptable content.

Vengreso reserves the right to conduct any criminal background check or other screenings (such as sex offender register searches), at any time and using available public records.

The Client’s sole and exclusive rights and remedies with respect to any third-party product or service, including rights and remedies in the event a third-party product or service gives rise to an infringement claim, will be against the third-party vendor and not against Vengreso. Vengreso shall assign to Client any assignable warranties it may receive from any such third-party vendor.

Vengreso represents and warrants that its services will be performed in accordance with applicable professional standards, and that any and all information provided to the Client will be used for the purpose of the services defined by this Agreement. With the exception of gross negligence or malfeasance, Vengreso’s liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the fees and expenses paid to it pursuant to this Agreement, nor will Vengreso be liable for any indirect, consequential, or incidental damages, lost profits, or any other pecuniary loss arising out of this Agreement.
Disclaimer. Results from the services provided by Vengreso herein are dependent in part on Client’s cooperation and willingness to implement Vengreso’s marketing recommendations. Failure to implement such recommendations may have a negative impact on the results. Failure to respond to recommendations made in response to technology changes not controlled by Vengreso, such as revisions by search engines, may also have a negative impact on results. Vengreso makes no warranty or guarantee of any kind, either expressed or implied, by fact or law, other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement. Vengreso makes no warranty or condition of fitness for a particular purpose nor any warranty or condition of merchantability for the products associated with the Programs.

- Support Services
4.1 Support Services. Upon reasonable request of Client, Vengreso shall provide certain Support Services to Client’s Users.
- Deliverables
5.1 Ownership and Use of Deliverables. Client Data entered by the Client and Client’s Users shall be used by Vengreso to create profiles (each, a “Deliverable,” and collectively, the “Deliverables”). Subject to Client’s ownership and license of Client Data pursuant to Section 3.3 above, Deliverables, and all intellectual property rights therein, are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Vengreso and all right, title, and interest in the same is reserved by Vengreso; provided, however, that Vengreso grants to the Client a nonexclusive, royalty-free, fully-paid, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, worldwide license to make, use, import, copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, adapt, prepare derivative works of, display, perform, and otherwise exploit the Deliverables. Client acknowledges and agrees that Client’s use of the Deliverables, including, without limitation, any action or decisions made by the Client in reliance on the analysis contained in the Deliverables is at the Client’s sole discretion, and Vengreso makes no representations, warranties, or covenants of any kind with respect to the Client’s use of Deliverables for Client’s business purposes.
- Subscription Plans, Fees and Payment.
6.1 Subscription Plans. Vengreso currently offers paid-subscription offerings (“Subscription(s)”), on a monthly or annual basis, (each, a “Subscription Plan”) granting access to the Client to use the Vengreso Software via the Platforms. Vengreso may, in its sole discretion, add, adjust, or remove all or a portion of its Subscription Plans. Client hereby authorizes Vengreso to charge either the Client’s credit card or use ACH for the payment of Subscription Fees upon the renewal of an applicable Subscription Plan period (“Recurring Charges”). In case of ACH, payments will be processed using a third-party merchant services provider. Each Subscription Plan includes restrictions and requirements that outline the features of the Platform and Services the Client may access, as well as the applicable Subscription Fees, and termination policies (the “Subscription Terms”). Any violation by the Client of the Subscription Terms may result in the immediate termination of the Subscription Plan and use of the Platform, as well as any other potential liability for violation of these terms and conditions.
6.2 Subscription Fees. As consideration for the Services provided by Vengreso, the Client agrees to pay to Vengreso the applicable subscription fees (“Subscription Fees”). Subscription Fees are due at the beginning of each subscription period (i.e., annually or monthly) and are not refundable. Subscription Plans shall automatically renew upon the conclusion of a subscription period unless the Client provides Vengreso with appropriate notice of cancellation. If Vengreso does not receive a Subscription Fee from the Client when due, then Vengreso may consider the Subscription Plan terminated by the Client for the Client’s convenience. Vengreso may charge other expenses and/or fees upon notice to the Client if and when such additional fees and expenses become applicable. Vengreso may, in its sole discretion change applicable fees for its Subscription Plans from time to time; provided, however, that any such changes to Subscription Fees shall not take effect until the start of the next subscription period for the Client’s applicable Subscription Plan. Client shall be responsible for Vengreso’s attorney’s fees in connection with the collection of any of Client’s Subscription Fees.
6.3 Changes or Cancellation of Subscription Plan. The Client may switch to a different Subscription Plan at any time. The effective date of the new Subscription Plan will commence on the day immediately following the final day of the preceding subscription period. If the Client wishes to cancel an existing Subscription Plan in its entirety, the Client may do so upon providing Vengreso with written notice of the cancellation. The cancelled Subscription Plan shall terminate as of the final day of the subscription period in effect on the date of Client’s notice of cancellation. For clarity, if Client voluntarily cancels its Subscription prior to the end of a current subscription period, the Client shall owe the full amount of the current Subscription Plan’s Subscription Fees through the completion of the current subscription period. Upon the effective date of a cancelled Subscription, the Client shall have no further access to the Platform, and the Agreement shall be deemed terminated as of the effective date of the cancellation.
6.4 Taxes. Vengreso will add to each invoice any sales or other taxes assessed or required by applicable taxing authorities. Client will provide Vengreso any exemption certificates or other documentation regarding the amount or applicability of particular taxes.
