There are no un-settled, pending or, to Artist’s knowledge, threatened litigation, claim or proceeding against the Artist which may prevent the Artist from entering into, or performing all of the obligations of the Artist under this Agreement.
-
When executed and delivered by the Artist, the Agreement and these General Terms will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Artist, enforceable against the Artist in accordance with their terms.
-
Artist shall perform all duties set forth herein and under the Agreement in full compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, orders, relevant licenses and other legal requirements to which Artist is subject.
-
Artist is not bound by any agreement, either oral or written, which conflicts with the Agreement and/or the General Terms or which would in any way limit the Artist’s ability to fully perform the Artist’s obligations hereunder or thereunder. Artist has the entire worldwide right and power to enter into this Agreement, to perform the obligations herein and the General Terms and to grant the Company all of the rights and licenses granted hereby and thereby.
-
The Art (that was or will be created) is owned exclusively by the Artist. The Art and any materials provided by the Artist in connection with the Art and/or the parties engagement (collectively, the “Art Materials”), are the Artist’s original work of authorship, and no third party has any rights (including no intellectual property rights) in, to, or in connection with the Art Materials, and each portion of the Art Materials is free and clear from any such third-party rights. Artist has the entire worldwide ownership rights in and to the Art Materials, including all intellectual property rights thereof.
-
Artist hereby grants the Company a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, assignable, sublicensable (to end clients, and to promotional partners), except if otherwise agreed between by the Artist and Company in writing under the Agreement – fully paid-up and royalty free, license and right, to (a) integrate the Art with the KLYDO or other Company’s products, and to use and exploit the Art and/or modify the Art as the Company deems required (in its exclusive direction) in order to facilitate and/or better (in a manner the Company’s determine, in its discretion) such integration, (b) use, exploit and/or modify the Art Materials, in order to promote the KLYDO, the Art and/or portions thereof, (c) to prepare and present copies of the Art, to publish such copies, with or without the Artist’s name, on any KLYDO Channel and on any other medium the Company shall desire (including on Instagram, Facebook and other accounts and pages), and to repost over the KLYDO Channels any portion of the Art Materials associated media, from Artist’s social pages or other Artist’s mediums, and (d) to sell, resell, grant use or presentation rights or other licenses (with or without consideration) in or to the Art as part of or separately from the KLYDO. Although the license granted herein is non-exclusive, the Artist undertakes not to grant any third party person any license or other right in or to the Art to the extent the licensee or grantee shall use the Art to compete with the Company.
The Above license is granted for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the delivery of the Art to the Company. However, the sub-licenses granted by the Company to the KLYDO customers survives the termination or expiration of this license, for any reason and for unlimited time.
-
The Company may, from the date of the Agreement, unless the Artist notifies the Company in writing, disclose the fact that Artist was engaged with the Company, present the Artist’s name, picture, biography and other works on any KLYDO Channel, and the Company is hereby granted with a license to all of the foregoing.
