5.     TRADEMARKS, MARKETING AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

5.1    During the Term of this Referral Agreement, Referral Partner shall have a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to advertise the Products under the trademarks, logos and slogans adopted by Topia from time to time (“Trademarks”). Topia may issue Trademark usage guidelines, to which Referral Partner must adhere.  All representations of Topia Trademarks that Referral Partner intends to use shall be exact copies of those used by Topia, or if otherwise, shall first be submitted to the appropriate Topia personnel for written approval of design, color, and other details, and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If any of the Topia Trademarks are to be used in conjunction with another trademark on or in relation to Products, then the Topia Trademarks shall be presented equally legibly, equally prominently, but nevertheless separated from the other so that each appears to be a trademark in its own right, distinct from the other mark. Referral Partner will not use the Trademarks in a way that implies a partnership with any other company or person. If Referral Partner makes use of Referral Partner’s rights set forth in this Section 5.1, Referral Partner will maintain a high-quality standard in representing the Products and in using the Trademarks. Upon two (2) days’ notice, Topia shall have the right to review and approve in writing the quality of the copies of, and use of Trademarks with, the Products promoted by Referral Partner and accompanying promotional material, advertising, press releases and the like. Topia will notify Referral Partner of its acceptance or rejection in writing. If such material does not conform to the requirements of this Referral Agreement, Referral Partner will revise such material prior to its use or distribution. Pornographic, obscene, abusive, threatening, defamatory, libelous, or racially, sexually or religiously offensive or objectionable use or any unlawful use of Trademarks or other materials in connection with the Products is strictly prohibited whether directly or in context with specific subject matter. Referral Partner may use advertising, marketing, promotion, public relations or other similar materials provided by Topia, alone or in combination with other materials Referral Partner creates (subject to the other provisions of this Referral Agreement). Topia may from time to time, at Topia’s discretion, make certain marketing and promotional material available without charge. Referral Partner shall be solely responsible for the content of Referral Partner’s own promotional and advertising materials, if any, and for Referral Partner’s distribution and use of all marketing materials, including any Topia marketing material Referral Partner chooses to distribute and/or use.

5.2    Nothing contained in this Referral Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon Referral Partner (by implication, operation of law or otherwise) any license to any right, title or interest in any Trademarks, logos, slogans, Products or Topia marketing materials. Referral Partner shall not register or attempt to register any Trademark, trade name or domain name used or disclosed by Topia, or that incorporates any Topia or affiliated company product or service name, or any name that is confusingly similar to any product or service name, trademark, trade name or domain name of Topia or its affiliated companies. Any unauthorized use by Referral Partner of a Trademark, or any claim by Referral Partner to a mark confusingly similar to a Trademark, or any claim or use by Referral Partner of an internet domain name that contains or is confusingly similar to a Trademark, shall be a material breach of this Referral Agreement and cause for immediate termination by Topia.

5.3    Subject to applicable privacy laws, all End User Records, End User Data and Topia Confidential Information, are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Topia; Referral Partner shall have no right, title or interest in or to such End User Records or End User Data. To avoid doubt, any End User information obtained by Referral Partner not in connection with the End User Records, End User Data or Topia Confidential Information (all as described in this Referral Agreement) shall be owned by Referral Partner. During the Term of this Referral Agreement, Referral Partner may use the End User Records and End User Data solely to fulfill Referral Partner obligations under this Referral Agreement in connection with Topia End Users and for no other purpose. Topia may revoke this limited right to use End User Records and End User Data in the event of abuse of said data or breach of this Referral Agreement. This limited right to use End User Records and End User Data shall not survive the termination or expiration of this Referral Agreement.  End User Records, End User Data and Topia Confidential Information are not Referral Partner’s assets capable of assignment, sale or any other form of alienation by Referral Partner. In addition, all  rights relating to (a)  Products; (b)  Topia marketing materials; and (c)  any other Topia website, materials or translations thereof,  as well as any related intellectual property rights including patents, copyrights, trade secrets, Topia Confidential Information, Topia Trademarks and  domain names, each pertaining to Topia, are owned by and shall  remain the valuable exclusive property of Topia or its licensors. All rights not expressly granted by Topia are reserved. Without limiting the foregoing, the restrictions described in this section are intended to apply to any and all uses of Topia’s rights described herein, including, without limitation on or through any social media. Referral Partner shall take all reasonable measures to protect Topia’s proprietary rights in the aforesaid intellectual property.

5.4    Referral Partner shall notify Topia promptly in writing upon Referral Partner’s discovery of any unauthorized use of the Trademarks, software or Products or infringement of Topia’s patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, or other intellectual property rights. Referral Partner shall not alter any marketing materials, software or Products except as expressly authorized by Topia as appropriate.
