~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
a. At the time the Contribution is Submitted, You assign to Us all right, title,
|
||||
and interest worldwide in all Copyright covering the Contribution; provided
|
||||
that this transfer is conditioned upon compliance with Section 2.3.
|
||||
|
||||
b. To the extent that any of the rights in Section 2.1(a) cannot be assigned by
|
||||
You to Us, You grant to Us a perpetual, worldwide, exclusive, royalty-free,
|
||||
transferable, irrevocable license under such non-assigned rights, with rights
|
||||
to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees, to practice such
|
||||
non-assigned rights, including, but not limited to, the right to reproduce,
|
||||
modify, display, perform and distribute the Contribution; provided that this
|
||||
license is conditioned upon compliance with Section 2.3.
|
||||
|
||||
c. To the extent that any of the rights in Section 2.1(a) can neither be
|
||||
assigned nor licensed by You to Us, You irrevocably waive and agree never to
|
||||
assert such rights against Us, any of our successors in interest, or any of
|
||||
our licensees, either direct or indirect; provided that this agreement not
|
||||

||||
use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution and
|
||||
the Contribution in combination with the Material (and portions of such
|
||||

|
||||
successors in interest, or any of our licensees, either direct or indirect.
|
||||

|
||||
a. You have the legal authority to enter into this Agreement.

|
||||
which You or Your Affiliates have made to third parties.

||||
|
||||
4. Disclaimer
|
||||
-------------

||||
AND BY US TO YOU. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH WARRANTIES CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED,

||||

|
||||
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL YOU OR US
|
||||
BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF DATA,
|
||||
INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL AND EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT
|
||||
OF THIS AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT
|
||||
OR OTHERWISE) UPON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Miscellaneous

|
||||
6.1 Juristiction
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
|
||||
Puerto Rico excluding its conflicts of law provisions. Under certain circumstances,
|
||||
the governing law in this section might be superseded by the United Nations
|
||||
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods ("UN Convention")
|
||||
and the parties intend to avoid the application of the UN Convention to this
|
||||
Agreement and, thus, exclude the application of the UN Convention in its
|
||||
entirety to this Agreement.
|
||||
|
||||
6.2 Acceptance
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
This Agreement sets out the entire agreement between You and Us for Your

If You or We assign the rights or obligations received through this Agreement
|
||||
to a third party, as a condition of the assignment, that third party must
|
||||
agree in writing to abide by all the rights and obligations in the Agreement.
|
||||
|
||||
6.4 Unmet responsabilities
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
The failure of either party to require performance by the other party of any
|
||||
provision of this Agreement in one situation shall not affect the right of a
|
||||
party to require such performance at any time in the future. A waiver of
|
||||
performance under a provision in one situation shall not be considered a
|
||||
waiver of the performance of the provision in the future or a waiver of the
|
||||
provision in its entirety.
|
||||
|
||||
6.5 Continuation
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
If any provision of this Agreement is found void and unenforceable, such
|
||||
provision will be replaced to the extent possible with a provision that comes
|
||||
closest to the meaning of the original provision and which is enforceable.
|
||||
The terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall apply
|
||||
notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of this Agreement or any
|
||||
limited remedy to the maximum extent possible under law.
