4. OWNERSHIP AND LICENSES.

4.1 Company Owns All Work Product. As part of this job, the Contractor is creating “work product” for the Company . To avoid confusion, work product is the finished product, as well as drafts, notes, materials, mockups, hardware, designs, inventions, patents, code, and anything else that the Contractor works on—that is, conceives, creates, designs, develops, invents, works on, or reduces to practice—as part of this project, whether before the date of this Contract or after. The Contractor hereby gives the Company this work product once the Company pays for it in full. This means the Contractor is giving the Company all of its rights, titles, and interests in and to the work product (including intellectual property rights), and the Company will be the sole owner of it. The Company can use the work product however it wants or it can decide not to use the work product at all. The Company , for example, can modify, destroy, or sell it, as it sees fit. 

4.2 Contractor's Use Of Work Product. Once the Contractor gives the work product to the Company , the Contractor does not have any rights to it, except those that the Company explicitly gives the Contractor here. The Company gives permission to use the work product as part of portfolios and websites, in galleries, and in other media, so long as it is to showcase the work and not for any other purpose. 

5. INDEMNITY.

5.1 Overview. This section transfers certain risks between the parties if a third party sues or goes after the Company or the Contractor or both. For example, if the Company gets sued for something that the Contractor did, then the Contractor may promise to come to the Company’s defense. 

5.2 Company Indemnity. In this Contract, the Contractor agrees to indemnify the Company (and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) related to a third-party claim or proceeding arising out of: (i) the work the Contractor has done under this Contract; (ii) a breach by the Contractor of its obligations under this Contract; or (iii) a breach by the Contractor of the promises it is making in Section 5 (Representations). 

5.3 Contractor Indemnity. In this Contract, the Company agrees to indemnify the Contractor (and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) related to a third-party claim or proceeding arising out of a breach by the Company of its obligations under this Contract.

6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

6.1 Overview. This Contract imposes special restrictions on how the Company and the Contractor must handle confidential information. These obligations are explained in this section. 

6.2 The Company’s Confidential Information. While working for the Company, the Contractor may come across, or be given, Company information that is confidential. This is information like customer lists, business strategies, research & development notes, statistics about a website, and other information that is private. The Contractor promises to treat this information as if it is the Contractor's own confidential information. The Contractor may use this information to do its job under this Contract, but not for anything else. For example, if the Company lets the Contractor use a customer list to send out a newsletter, the Contractor cannot use those email addresses for any other purpose. The one exception to this is if the Company gives the Contractor written permission to use the information for another purpose, the Contractor may use the information for that purpose, as well. When this Contract ends, the Contractor must give back or destroy all confidential information, and confirm that it has done so. The Contractor promises that it will not share confidential information with a third party, unless the Company gives the Contractor written permission first. The Contractor must continue to follow these obligations, even after the Contract ends. The Contractor's responsibilities only stop if the Contractor can show any of the following: (i) that the information was already public when the Contractor came across it; (ii) the information became public after the Contractor came across it, but not because of anything the Contractor did or didn’t do; (iii) the Contractor already knew the information when the Contractor came across it and the Contractor didn’t have any obligation to keep it secret; (iv) a third party provided the Contractor with the information without requiring that the Contractor keep it a secret; or (v) the Contractor created the information on its own, without using anything belonging to the Company . 

6.3 Third-Party Confidential Information. It’s possible the Company and the Contractor each have access to confidential information that belongs to third parties. The Company and the Contractor each promise that it will not share with the other party confidential information that belongs to third parties, unless it is allowed to do so. If the Company or the Contractor is allowed to share confidential information with the other party and does so, the sharing party promises to tell the other party in writing of any special restrictions regarding that information. 

7. NON-SOLICITATION. Contractor expressly recognizes and acknowledges that during any Term and during Contractor's involvement with the Company, Contractor will be given access to, and will benefit from, the Confidential Information. In order to protect this valuable Confidential Information, Contractor agrees that for a period of twelve (12) months after termination or expiration of this Agreement and Contractor's involvement with the Company, Contractor will not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company, either individually or in conjunction with any person, firm, partnership, limited liability company, trust, corporation or any other entity, directly or indirectly: 

7.1 contact or solicit any customers of the Company who were customers of the Company any time during the twelve (12) months preceding Contractor's cessation of involvement with the Company for the purpose of diverting any existing or future business of such customers to a competing source, or 


7.2 contact or solicit any employees or consultants of, or vendors to, the Company for the purpose of causing, inviting or encouraging any such employee, consultant, or vendor to alter or terminate his, her, or its employment or business relationship with the Company.
