OVERVIEW & PURPOSE

Barnes Creative Studios (“BCS”) produces promotional videos and digital virtual tours and provides related services and software-as-a-service (“SAAS”) for a wide variety of clients, including, but not limited to, members of the hospitality, restaurant, and real estate industries.  The purpose of this Agreement is to provide the terms upon which Client may access and use the Application via BarnesCreativeStudios.com to make one or more pre-existing Virtual Tours more easily and fully accessible to disabled Internet users.  As is explained below, in relation to a given Seat purchased under this Agreement, Client may, at Client’s option and at any time during the term of this Agreement, change the particular Virtual Tour that is enhanced by that particular Application Seat (e.g., if Client purchases five Seats and has fifteen Virtual Tours, Client may at his discretion change which five of those fifteen are, at any point in time, enhanced by the Application).

Each Seat purchased by Client shall, through the term of this Agreement, include: access to and use of the 360 ACCESSIBILITY GENERATOR application via BarnesCreativeStudios.com to, at any point in time, enhance one pre-existing Virtual Tour to make it more easily and fully accessible to Client’s disabled Internet users; and continuing access to the 360 ACCESSIBILITY GENERATOR application to edit or modify the 360 ACCESSIBILITY GENERATOR-related features of the above-identified pre-existing Virtual Tour (e.g. room labels, script of narration, etc.) or to change which of Client’s pre-existing Virtual Tour are enhanced and available at that moment for viewing by Client’s customers, potential customers, and other users.  Each enhanced Virtual Tour corresponding to a Seat purchased by Client will be hosted by Barnes Creative Studios.

THIS AGREEMENT, UNTIL AND UNLESS AMENDED BY BCS, SHALL GOVERN ALL CURRENT AND FUTURE PURCHASES/APPLICATION LICENSES BY CLIENT WITHOUT THE NEED FOR THE EXECUTION BY CLIENT OF A NEW OR SEPARATE AGREEMENT.  IN THE EVENT THAT THIS AGREEMENT IS REVISED OR AMENDED BY BCS, CLIENT WILL BE PROMPTED DURING CLIENT’S NEXT PURCHASE OR TRANSACTION THEREAFTER TO EXECUTE THE UPDATED VERSION, WHICH SHALL THEN GOVERN ALL SUBSEQUENT PURCHASES/TRANSACTIONS UNTIL AND UNLESS THE NEXT OCCURRENCE OF ANY UPDATES OR REVISIONS.

(i) Access or use the Application in, or in association with, the design, construction, maintenance, operation of any hazardous environments, systems, or applications, any safety response systems or other safety-critical applications, or any other use or application in which the use or failure of the Application could lead to personal injury or severe physical or property damage; or

B. Indemnification by BCS 

BCS will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Client and Client’s parent, subsidiary, and affiliated companies, and Client’s and their employees, officers, directors, shareholders, licensees, and agents against all liabilities, losses, damages, or expenses, which Client or such other indemnified Party may incur as the result of any third-party claim, suit, or proceeding substantially arising from BCS’s grossly negligent, reckless, or willful misconduct and not falling with the scope of the immediately preceding paragraph.  BCS SHALL, HOWEVER, HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR OR IN RELATION TO ANY THIRD-PARTY CLAIM, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE ADA.   

C. Limitation of Liability 

In no event shall either Party be liable to the other for any incidental, indirect, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or lost profits, goodwill, savings, or use, of any kind or nature arising out of, or relating to the performance, breach, or termination of this Agreement, whether such damage or loss is foreseeable or not, whether that Party has been advised of the possibility thereof or not, and whether such liability is asserted on the basis of contract, tort, or otherwise.  IN NO EVENT SHALL BCS’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY CLIENT TO BCS FOR THE PARTICULAR SOW OUT OF WHICH THE CLAIM AROSE.

D. Third-Party Litigation 

In the event BCS is called upon to respond to or assist Client, Client’s parent, subsidiary, and affiliated companies, and/or Client’s and their employees, officers, directors, shareholders, and/or members in connection with litigation commenced or threatened against any of the aforelisted Client-related entities or individuals, BCS will be entitled to payment for its employees’ time and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney fees and all case-related disbursements) for services rendered and/or time spent by BCS in connection with such matters.

9.  CONFIDENTIALITY; RETURN OF PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

If the Parties have previously executed a separate Confidentiality Agreement that they intend to govern their relationship and have attached that separate agreement as an exhibit hereto, that agreement shall control, and no portion or provision of this Paragraph 9 shall have any force or effect.  Otherwise, the following provisions shall apply:

In the performance of this Agreement, either Party may disclose to the other certain Proprietary Information.  Both Parties acknowledge and agree that Proprietary Information (including, without limitation, all Intellectual Property Rights inherent therein) will remain the sole and exclusive property of the Disclosing Party or a Third Party providing such information to the Disclosing Party.  The Receiving Party agrees to hold the Proprietary Information disclosed by the Disclosing Party in the strictest confidence and not, directly or indirectly, to copy, use, reproduce, distribute, manufacture, duplicate, reveal, report, publish, disclose, cause to be disclosed, or otherwise transfer the Proprietary Information for any purpose whatsoever other than as expressly provided by this Agreement.  The disclosure of Proprietary Information does not confer upon the Receiving Party any license, interest, or rights of any kind in or to the Proprietary Information, except as otherwise expressly provided under this Agreement.  Subject to the terms set forth herein, the Receiving Party: (i) may not disclose Proprietary Information to a Third Party without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; and (ii) will protect the Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party with at least the same degree of protection and care that the Receiving Party uses to protect its own Proprietary Information, but in no event less than commercially-reasonable care.  With regard to Trade Secrets, the obligations in this Section will continue for so long as such information constitutes a Trade Secret under Georgia law.  With regard to Confidential Information, the obligations of this Section will continue for the Term of this Agreement and for a period of fourteen (14) years thereafter.  However, nothing in this Section will prohibit or limit the Receiving Party’s use of information if:  (i) at the time of disclosure hereunder such information is generally available to the public; (ii) after disclosure hereunder such information becomes generally available to the public, except through breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party; (iii) the Receiving Party can demonstrate such information was in its possession prior to the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (iv) the information becomes available to the Receiving Party from a Third Party which is not legally prohibited from disclosing such information; (v) the Receiving Party can demonstrate the information was developed by or for it independently without the use of Proprietary Information; and (vi) disclosure is required under applicable law or regulation.

Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, each Party will immediately return to the other Party, or destroy, all Proprietary Information of the other Party and all copies thereof and will provide the other Party with a signed statement certifying compliance with this paragraph.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall be required to return or destroy: (i) Proprietary Information which the Receiving Party requires for its own business records; and/or (ii) backup or archival copies of Proprietary Information which are not readily available for return or destruction (such as Proprietary Information which is stored on backup media that also contains other unrelated information).  In the event such return or destruction is not feasible, the Party retaining Proprietary Information will extend the protections of this Agreement to the retained information and limit further uses and disclosures to those purposes that make the return or destruction of the information not feasible.  This Section shall survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement.

10. OTHER PROVISIONS

A. Relationship of the Parties

This Agreement shall not be construed to create any employment relationship, partnership, or joint venture relationship.  Except as is expressly set forth herein, neither Party shall have the right to enter into any commitment or agreement binding on the other Party without its express, written permission.  BCS’s performance hereunder is solely as an independent contractor of Client.

H. Severability & Conflict

This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia without regard to its conflict of laws rules.  Any action at law, suit in equity, or other judicial proceeding concerning, relating to, or touching upon in any way this Agreement or the subject-matter hereof, shall be brought, if at all, only in a court of proper subject matter jurisdiction in Fulton County, Georgia.  Both Parties acknowledge the right of the specified courts to assert personal jurisdiction in any such action over all Parties and waive and release now and forever any defense to said assertion of personal jurisdiction that might otherwise exist.

S. Where Executing Individual/Entity is Separate from Client

T. When Contract Formation Occurs

Once executed by Client, this Agreement shall represent an offer to BCS.  No binding agreement shall be deemed to have arisen until and unless BCS expressly acknowledges said acceptance in writing (whether hardcopy or e-mail, either of which is acceptable).

U. ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMERS

THE WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE THE ONLY WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS MADE BY BCS.  BCS HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY AND/OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THIS DISCLAIMER INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTY OF ADA COMPLIANCE AND/OR WCAG 2.0 COMPLIANCE OF ANY SPECIFIED MEDIA OR OTHER WORK PRODUCT.  THIS DISCLAIMER SHALL APPLY TO ALL ASPECTS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS BETWEEN CLIENT AND BCS AND TO ANY OTHER PROVISION OF SERVICES BY BCS TO OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF CLIENT.

V. ADDITIONAL STATEMENT REGARDING THE ADA, AND WCAG

The Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in “places of public accommodation.”  42 U.S.C. § 12182(a).  An important current, unresolved issue centers upon the extent to which company websites fall within the scope of the ADA.  Some courts, along with the Department of Justice, have taken the position that certain company websites are covered by the ADA and must accordingly be accessible to people with various disabilities.  Website accessibility can involve a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological.  Accessibility issues involve both static website content and interactive or multimedia features and presentations.  There are, however, no definitive or comprehensive governmental rules, the compliance with which guarantees an ADA-compliant website.  The safest and most prudent course for companies that are otherwise subject to the ADA is the implementation of a web presence that complies with Version 2.0 or higher of the World Wide Web Consortium’s (“W3C’s”) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (“WCAG”), which have been adopted by the Federal government for its own websites.  (See https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/).  Especially given the gray and evolving nature of the ADA/website issue, Barnes Creative Studios cannot guarantee the compliance of any particular Virtual Tour, even after enhancement via the Application pursuant to this Agreement. 

IT IS CLIENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE ITS OWN DETERMINATIONS AND OTHERWISE TO ENSURE THE COMPLIANCE OF ITS ONLINE MATERIALS. WE WILL PROVIDE SAMPLE CODE OF A FINISHED PRODUCT BY REQUEST.

W. NO LEGAL ADVICE

NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT, IN ANY WORK PRODUCT PROVIDED BY BCS HEREUNDER, OR IN ANY OTHER DOCUMENT, WEBSITE, COMMUNICATION, OR OTHER STATEMENT OF BCS SHALL CONSTITUTE LEGAL ADVICE.  CLIENT SHOULD CONSULT CLIENT’S OWN ATTORNEY TO OBTAIN ADVICE WITH RESPECT TO ANY PARTICULAR LEGAL MATTER RELATING IN ANY WAY TO BCS, THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR ANY RELATED SOW OR COMMUNICATION.  CLIENT SHOULD NOT ACT OR REFRAIN FROM ACTING ON THE BASIS OF ANY COMMUNICATION, ACT, OR OMISSION OF BCS.  CLIENT SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT CLIENT HAS NOT RELIED UPON BCS IN RELATION TO THE DETERMINATION OF WORK PRODUCT COMPLIANCE WITH THE ADA AND/OR THE WCAG AND THAT CLIENT IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE AND SHALL HOLD BCS HARMLESS IN RELATION IN ANY AND ALL WAYS TO THE COMPLIANCE/NON-COMPLIANCE OF SUCH WORK PRODUCT.
