Standard Trademark License Agreement

Global IP Solutions, Inc., and Global IP Solutions AB (“GIPS”) offer you the opportunity to use certain GIPS trademarks, service marks, and associated design marks and logos (“GIPS Marks”) in advertising and as hotlinks from your web page to GIPS web pages, provided you agree as follows.

1. General Rules For Using GIPS Marks. GIPS Marks:
1. May only be used with GIPS’s permission; in a truthful manner; and in a manner that is related in a positive way to your business relationship with or recommendation of GIPS. For example, a GIPS Mark may be used on a website accompanied by the text “XYZ is enhanced with GIPS SoundWare” where “GIPS” and “SoundWare” are linked directly to the GIPS web site.
2. Must be accompanied by the following attribution: "Global IP Solutions, GIPS, and associated design marks and logos are trademarks owned or used under license by Global IP Solutions, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Global IP Solutions AB, and may be registered in certain jurisdictions.” Or, where space is very limited, “Global IP Solutions, GIPS, and are trademarks of Global IP Solutions Inc.”
3. May not be altered in any way; for example, the minimum background space surrounding logos must be maintained, and proportions may not be changed.
4. Must, in addition to these terms and conditions, conform to the Global IP Solutions Trademark & Logo Guidelines, as updated from time to time by GIPS (the “Guidelines”). A list of selected GIPS Marks may be found at Global IP Solutions Marks.
2. Special Usage Rules. Unless specific written permission is granted by GIPS, the following additional restrictions apply:
1. Product Marks. GIPS Marks that relate to products of GIPS may be used only while your company is a licensee of GIPS technology relating to that mark.
2. Service Marks. GIPS Marks that relate to services of GIPS may be used only while your company is a current user of the relevant GIPS services. Online Usage Rules. If used online, GIPS Marks:
1. Must appear in a prominent location no smaller than 90 by 30 pixels when viewed with a browser in full-screen mode on a standard (minimum 10” diagonal) monitor.
2. Must appear on the site twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, in HTML or similar format accessible via the World Wide Web.
3. May not be used merely as static images, but must be configured as a link to a specified GIPS web site so that when a user clicks on the logo it connects the user to the appropriate GIPS web page, without frames or other carryovers from the originating site. For example, the “gips” logo must link to www.gipscorp.com.
4. May be used as metatags only with express permission from GIPS.
3. Quality Control. You must submit a sample of each proposed use of any GIPS Mark for GIPS’s approval before its first usage and in its final form. GIPS may monitor your web site, advertising copy, and other use of the GIPS Marks. GIPS Marks may not be used in connection with any materials GIPS deems in its sole discretion to be objectionable. This license may be revoked by GIPS at any time, even if GIPS has previously approved such usage, if:
1. Any use is not in compliance with this license or the Guidelines.
2. GIPS elects to change or terminate any part of this program.
3. GIPS objects to any aspect of your use of the GIPS Marks, or requests that you discontinue usage, and you fail to cure the problem immediately.
4. Where To Get GIPS Marks and online logos. You may only obtain GIPS Online Logos directly from a GIPS representative, or in electronic form from Global IP Solutions Marks.
5. No Sublicense Rights. You may not forward GIPS Marks, or extend any rights under this Agreement, to any other person, or to a website not controlled by you.
6. No Endorsement. You understand that your use of GIPS Marks is not intended as GIPS’s endorsement of, sponsorship of, or affiliation of your company or website with GIPS.
7. Ownership. The GIPS Marks are owned by GIPS. Your use of the GIPS Marks acknowledges GIPS’s ownership of the GIPS Marks. You agree that you will not use any GIPS Mark in any way that is inconsistent with GIPS’s ownership. Your use of the GIPS Marks, and any associated goodwill and interests, inure solely to the benefit of GIPS. If you are vested with any interest in any GIPS Mark, by operation of law or otherwise, you agree to assign and hereby assign all such interests to GIPS, and agree to take all reasonable steps to assign such interests to GIPS, including but not limited to executing appropriate documents of assignment.
8. Infringement. You agree that you may not use, directly or indirectly, any GIPS Mark or any mark confusingly similar to any GIPS Mark (a) as part of your trade name, (b) in any other way that suggests any relationship between you and GIPS other than as set forth above, or (c) as a trademark for any other product or service, and that such unpermitted use constitutes infringement.
9. Notice Of Infringement. You must notify GIPS promptly if you become aware of any actual or possible infringement of any GIPS Mark, and agree to cooperate, at GIPS’s reasonable expense, in prosecuting any infringement. You may not take action regarding such infringement without GIPS’s consent.
10. Liability. GIPS disclaims all warranties of any kind, express or implied, with respect to the GIPS Marks, including but not limited to any warranty concerning infringement of third party rights. You agree that GIPS has no liability for your use of the GIPS Marks, and that you will indemnify GIPS for any costs it may incur related to your use of the GIPS Marks. You acknowledge that use of any GIPS Mark in violation of these terms will cause irreparable harm to GIPS, and therefore agree that GIPS may obtain injunctive relief in the event of such violation without having to prove irreparable harm or post a bond.
11. No Other Licenses. Absent a separate written agreement with you, GIPS grants you no rights in the GIPS Marks other than what is stated here. Any other use may constitute infringement.
12. Defaults. Failure to pay GIPS any fees or other consideration when due results in termination of this license.
13. Termination. Your license to use the GIPS Marks ceases upon the expiration or termination of this agreement for any reason.
14. Governing Law. California law governs this Agreement. Any action concerning this Agreement must be venued in the state or federal courts presiding in San Francisco County, California, and the parties consent to such jurisdiction and venue. Choice of law rules do not apply, regardless of jurisdiction.
