  • Content;

  • Materials;

  • Decisions;

  • Credentials;

  • Access;

  • Feedback;

  • Approvals; and

  • Other assistance required for Company to perform the Services.

Company is not responsible for third-party vendors selected, contracted, or managed directly by User.

5.4 Acceptance of Deliverables

Company will deliver each Deliverable to User upon completion.

Unless a Statement of Work specifies a different period, User will have two business days after delivery to test the Deliverable for material conformance with the applicable acceptance criteria.

Within that period, User must notify Company in writing that the Deliverable is:

  1. Accepted; or

  2. Rejected due to specifically identified material deficiencies.

If User does not provide written notice within the testing period, the Deliverable will be deemed accepted.

Acceptance of a Deliverable may trigger User’s obligation to pay Fees according to the applicable Statement of Work.

5.5 Correction of Deficiencies

If User properly rejects a Deliverable, User must provide a reasonably detailed description of each material deficiency.

Company will have two business days, or another period specified in the Statement of Work, to correct or address the identified deficiencies and resubmit the Deliverable.

User will then have an additional two business days, or another period specified in the Statement of Work, to retest the Deliverable.

If User does not provide written notice before the end of the retesting period, the Deliverable will be deemed accepted.

5.6 Multiple Rejections

If User properly rejects the same Deliverable for a third time, the Parties will work together in good faith until:

  1. The Deliverable is accepted;

  2. The Parties determine that the issue results from an ambiguous Statement of Work or a change in scope and document the required changes in a Change Order; or

  3. User terminates the applicable Statement of Work and receives, as User’s sole remedy, a refund of Fees paid specifically for the materially deficient Deliverable.

User will not be entitled to a refund for accepted Deliverables, completed Services unrelated to the deficiency, third-party expenses, or work made unusable by User’s acts or omissions.

6. Ownership of Deliverables

6.1 Ownership Established by Statement of Work

Ownership and licensing of Deliverables will be established in the applicable Statement of Work.

If a Statement of Work does not expressly address ownership, Company retains ownership of the Deliverables and grants User a nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use the Deliverables for User’s internal business purposes after all applicable Fees have been paid.

6.2 Company Materials

Company retains all right, title, and interest in Company Materials.

No transfer of Deliverable ownership includes ownership of Company Materials unless a Statement of Work expressly identifies the applicable Company Materials and expressly transfers ownership of them.

When Company Materials are incorporated into a Deliverable owned by User, Company grants User a perpetual, nonexclusive, worldwide license to use those Company Materials solely as incorporated into and reasonably necessary to use the Deliverable.

6.3 User Materials

User retains ownership of content, branding, data, documentation, photographs, videos, trademarks, software, and other materials provided by User to Company (“User Materials”).

Third-party software, libraries, fonts, media, plugins, platforms, templates, and other materials remain subject to their applicable licenses and terms.

No provision of this Agreement transfers ownership of Third-Party Materials.

  3. Disclose only the portion of Confidential Information legally required to be disclosed.

9.3 Equitable Relief

Unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be inadequate.

Either Party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction for an actual or threatened breach of this Section without first completing the dispute-resolution procedures in Section 15.

10. Indemnification

User agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Company and its officers, directors, owners, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, licensors, successors, and assigns from and against losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from or relating to:

Notices to Company must be sent to holler@localcraftlabs.com.

User is responsible for maintaining an active and accurate email address in the Software for notices from Company.

The Parties will make a good-faith attempt to resolve the dispute for at least 30 days after delivery of the notice.

This requirement does not prevent a Party from seeking immediate injunctive or equitable relief for a breach or threatened breach involving Confidential Information, Intellectual Property, security, or unauthorized access.

15.2 Mediation

If the Parties cannot resolve the dispute directly, they agree to attempt to resolve the dispute through good-faith mediation before commencing arbitration, unless mediation is waived by mutual written agreement.

15.3 Binding Arbitration

Any controversy or claim arising from or relating to this Agreement, the Software, the Services, or a breach of this Agreement that is not resolved through direct negotiation or mediation will be settled through final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under the rules applicable to the dispute.

To initiate arbitration, User must provide Company with a written arbitration demand at holler@localcraftlabs.com and follow the filing requirements of the American Arbitration Association.

15.4 Small Claims and Intellectual Property

Either Party may bring an eligible claim in small-claims court.

Either Party may seek temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect:

  • Intellectual Property;

  • Confidential Information;

  • Account security;

  • Systems; or

  • Data.

15.5 Individual Proceedings

To the extent permitted by law, disputes must be brought on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in a purported class, consolidated, collective, or representative proceeding.

16. Force Majeure

Neither Party will be in breach of this Agreement for failing to perform an obligation during a Force Majeure event to the extent the event:

  1. Is beyond the Party’s reasonable control; and

  2. Prevents or materially delays performance.

The affected Party will:

  1. Notify the other Party as soon as reasonably practical;

  2. Use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the event; and

  3. Resume performance when reasonably possible.

A Force Majeure event does not excuse User’s obligation to pay Fees already due for Software, Services, or Deliverables already provided.

If a Force Majeure event prevents material performance for more than 30 consecutive days, either Party may terminate the affected Statement of Work by providing written notice.

17. General

17.1 Choice of Law and Venue
