The  Client shall reimburse JAM for any costs it incurs or losses arising from such delay or failure by the  Client. 

4.5 Where the Works are to be delivered electronically, the Client acknowledges and agrees that:

4.5.1 Electronic delivery is not a completely secure medium of communication and that an  unauthorised third party may intercept, tamper with or delete the Works to be delivered electronically; and

  1. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

5.1 The Client acknowledges that JAM (or its third party licensors) owns, and shall retain ownership of,  the JAM Intellectual Property, and, except as set out in these Terms, JAM shall not at any time be  required to deliver, licence or grant any rights to the Client any of the JAM Intellectual Property  whatsoever. 

5.2 The Client acknowledges and agrees that if in the course of performing the Services (including any processing or production of materials on behalf of the Client) JAM: (a) discovers or devises any  techniques or know-how or (b) creates any mechanical or electronic devices, software (in source  code and object code), libraries, engines, subroutines, data, files, development tools and utilities (in  source code and object code form), or any underlying models, rigging, and animation data to provide  the Services, all rights of every kind in and to the foregoing shall belong to and vest in JAM and shall  be deemed to be JAM Intellectual Property for the purposes of this Agreement. 

5.3 JAM shall retain ownership and possession of, and all rights (including all JAM Intellectual Property  Rights) in and to, any original character design, ideas or concepts presented or created by JAM in  relation to this Agreement, unless agreed otherwise in the Quote. Where the Client requires a  licence to use any such original character design, ideas or concepts, for whatever purpose, the  terms of such licence shall be agreed by the parties in writing. 

5.4 Subject to clauses 5.1 to 5.3 above and any other terms agreed pursuant to a Quote, all title and  rights in and to the Works (excluding JAM Intellectual Property), shall pass to the Client only upon  the Client paying to JAM all sums due and payable under this Agreement. JAM hereby grants to the  Client a non-exclusive, limited licence of JAM’s Intellectual Property (or any part of it) incorporated 

into the Works, solely to the extent required to enable the Client to use the Works for the purposes  of its business. 

5.5 JAM will indemnify the Client against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses incurred by  the Client arising out of any claim brought against the Client that the JAM Intellectual Property as  incorporated into the Works infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights provided that the Client:  (i) provides JAM with prompt written notice of such claim, (ii) allows JAM full control over the defence  and settlement of the claim, and (iii) provides, at JAM’s expense, reasonable cooperation and  assistance in connection with the claim.

5.6 In defence or settlement of any claim, JAM may elect, at its sole option and expense, to: 

5.6.1 Obtain a licence from such third party for the Client’s benefit; 

5.6.2 Modify the Works so that they no longer infringe such third party rights; or 

5.6.3 If neither of these options are commercially feasible, require the Client to stop using the works and terminate this Agreement without any further liability to the Client. 

5.7 JAM will not be liable to the Client under clause 5.5 to the extent that the infringement is based on (1) A modification of the Works by anyone other than JAM or (2) use of the Works by the Client otherwise  than in accordance with this Agreement.

The use by the Client of the Works is subject always to the Client obtaining any and  all necessary licences and consents from the relevant underlying rights’ owner(s). To the extent that  JAM has agreed to do so in the Quote, JAM will procure such licences and consents on the Client’s  behalf and the Client undertakes to reimburse JAM for the cost of any such licences and consents. 

The Client acknowledges that JAM does not provide any warranties in relation to any licences and  consents which JAM obtains on the Client’s behalf. Such licences and consents are provided by  JAM to the Client on an “as is” basis and the only warranties available to the Client are those  contained in such licences or consents from the third party. 

5.9 The Client warrants that: 

5.9.1 It has and will have at all times full right, power and authority (including any necessary  licences and consents) to provide JAM with any and all Intellectual Property Rights to enable  JAM to provide the Services and comply with its obligations under this Agreement; and 

5.9.2 The receipt and use of any Client Materials in the performance of this agreement by JAM, its  agents, subcontractors or consultants will not infringe the rights, including any Intellectual  Property Rights, of any third party. 

5.10 The Client hereby grants to JAM a perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty free licence to use the Client Materials to the extent necessary for JAM and/or its suppliers to provide  the Services and the Works.

6.2 Subject to the Client’s obligations under clause 4.7.2 each party acknowledges that the disclosing  party makes no representation with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any Confidential  Information, except to the extent expressly agreed by the disclosing party in writing. 

6.3 Each party agrees to keep all Confidential Information, including any JAM Intellectual Property  provided to the Client pursuant to clause 5, in complete confidence and not to disclose it to any third  party except as set out in clause 6.4. Save as expressly permitted under this Agreement, the  receiving party shall not use, copy in whole or in part, modify or adapt the Confidential Information  in any way without the disclosing party’s prior written consent, which may be given or withheld in its  absolute discretion. 

6.4 Each party may use the Confidential Information only for the purposes contemplated by this  Agreement and for no other purpose. Each party may disclose the Confidential Information to such  of its officers, employees, subcontractors and agents to whom disclosure is necessary for the  performance of its obligations under this Agreement provided that party shall ensure such officers,  employees and agents observe obligations of confidentiality no less than those imposed by this 

clause 6 and shall be liable for any failure by them to do so. 

6.5 Neither party shall be in breach of this clause 6 if it discloses Confidential Information to the extent  that such disclosure is required by law, regulation or order of a competent authority provided that the other party is given, to the extent possible, reasonable advance notice of the intended disclosure  and a reasonable opportunity to challenge the same. If a party wishes to challenge the disclosure  of confidential information, it shall do so at its own cost. 

6.6 The Client acknowledges that any breach of its confidentiality obligations under this clause 6 would cause JAM irreparable and unquantifiable damage and that JAM shall be entitled to apply for and 

obtain (without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to JAM in contract or at law)  interlocutory and/or final injunctive or other equitable relief against or in respect of any actual or  threatened breach of this clause 6 by the Client. 

6.7 On receipt of a written demand, each party shall return to the other party, or destroy at the other  party’s option, any and all written documents or materials containing Confidential Information,  together with all copies thereof, and if the other party should so require, that party shall, when  returning documents or materials, provide to the other a certification or statutory declaration duly  executed by an officer of that party confirming that, to the best of the declarant’s knowledge,  information and belief, that party has complied with all of its obligations under this clause 6. JAM  shall have no liability to the Client for any inability to perform any future services as a result of the  deletion of such Confidential Information at the Client’s request.  

  1. TERMINATION AND CANCELLATION OF SERVICES

7.1 This Agreement shall commence when the first Quote has been accepted by both JAM and the  Client in accordance with clause 2.1 and shall continue unless and until terminated by either party  under clause 7.2 or 7.3. 

7.2 Without affecting any other right or remedy available to it, either party may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect by giving written notice to the other party if: 

7.2.1 The other party commits a material breach of any term of this Agreement and (a) such breach  is irremediable, or (b) (if such breach is remediable) it has failed to remedy such breach  within a period of 7 days after being notified in writing to do so; or 

7.2.2 The other party becomes insolvent or goes into either compulsory or voluntary liquidation  (except for the purpose of solvent reconstruction) or if a receiver, administrative receiver or  administrator is appointed in respect of the whole or any part of the other party’s assets or if  that party makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors generally or threatens to do  any of these things or any similar event occurs in any other jurisdiction. 

7.3 Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving 30 days written notice to the other. Termination of the Agreement will not affect any existing Quote for Services which are due to be  provided within the notice period.  

7.4 On termination of this Agreement under clause 7.2 or 7.3, JAM shall have no further liability to  perform any Services and shall be entitled to invoice the Client for its fees in respect of any Services  which have been supplied but not yet invoiced. Any such invoice shall be payable by the Client  immediately on receipt. 

7.5 Once a Quote has been accepted by both parties in accordance with clause 2.1, any Services to be  provided under this Agreement may only be canceled by the Client with the written consent of JAM and in accordance with these Terms. The giving of consent shall not in any way prejudice JAM’s  right to recover from the Client compensation in accordance with clause 7.6. 

7.6 The Client may give JAM written notice of cancellation of any Services to be provided under a Quote,  provided that where such notice is received by JAM: 

7.6.1 Less than 24 hours prior to the date for performance or the commencement of performance  of the relevant Services (the “Target Date”), the Client shall pay the full price specified in  the Quote or, if none is stated, the applicable amount chargeable to the Client for the  Services based on JAM’s rate card current at the Target Date; or 

7.6.2 Less than five working days but more than 24 hours prior to the applicable Target Date, the Client shall pay one half of the full price specified in the Quote or, if none is stated, one half of the applicable amount that chargeable to the Client for the Services based on JAM’s rate card current at the Target Date, in each case as liquidated damages. The Client shall pay these liquidated damages to JAM on  demand. The Parties confirm that these liquidated damages are reasonable and proportionate to  protect JAM’s legitimate interests and reflect the resources that will need to be committed by  JAM to provide the Services in advance of the Target Date and fact that JAM is unlikely to be  able to secure an order for the Services and/or to reallocate all of such resources allocated to  the Client’s order within the specified timeframes. 

7.7 If JAM is unable for any reason to perform the Services on the Target Date, JAM shall notify the  Client in writing giving as much notice as possible and shall use all reasonable endeavours to reschedule the Services to a date which is mutually acceptable to JAM and the Client. If it is not  possible to reschedule the Services, JAM may cancel the Services on immediate written notice  to the Client and shall have no further liability to the Client. Cancellation under this clause shall be  without prejudice to JAM’s right to recover payment from the Client for any Services already  provided. 

7.8 Any provisions of this Agreement which by their nature are intended to survive cancellation or  expiration (including clause 1 (Interpretation), clause 5 (Intellectual Property), clause 6  (Confidentiality), clause 8 (Liability and Indemnity), clause 9 (Insurance), clause 10 (Client  Materials), clause 12 (Publicity), clause 13 (Data Protection) and clause 18 (Governing Law and  Jurisdiction)) shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any cancellation or expiration of  this Agreement.

8.2.3 JAM’s entire liability for any loss suffered by the Client under or in connection with this  Agreement, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or  otherwise, shall, subject to the limitations expressly set forth herein, not exceed 125% of the  fees paid by the Client in accordance with the Quote under which the liability arose. 

8.3 The Client shall indemnify and hold harmless JAM and its parent companies, affiliates and  subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, “JAM Indemnitees”) from and against all claims, judgements or proceedings and all costs, liabilities,  losses, expenses and damages of any kind (including reasonable legal and other professional fees  and expenses) awarded against, or incurred or paid by, any of the JAM Indemnitees as a result of  or in connection with:

8.3.3 the publication, processing, use, distribution and/or exhibition of the Client Materials; and

8.4 Clause 8.3 above shall apply whether the Client, or its officers, employees, consultants, freelancers or agents, have been negligent or otherwise. 

8.5 Any recommendations or suggestions by JAM relating to the use of the Works are given in good  faith but it is for the Client to satisfy itself of the suitability of the Works for its own particular purpose.  Accordingly, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, JAM gives no warranty as to the fitness  of the Works for any particular purpose and any implied warranty or condition (statutory or 

otherwise) to that effect is excluded. 

8.6 Each party will only look to the other party and not to any director, officer, employee,
