Background
of Agreement

 

	 	A.	Rightscorp
    is in the business of identifying and monitoring illegal downloads of copyrighted content, forwarding Digital Millennium Copyright
    Act (“DMCA”) notices, and providing a settlement collections model for copyright owners and administrators for
    online peer-to-peer (“P2P”) infringements of their content.
	 	 	 
	 	B.	You
    own or control copyrights in and to certain content and desire to appoint Rightscorp as Your exclusive representative and
    agent within the Territory and during the Term to monitor infringements resulting from unauthorized downloads and uploads
    by individual infringers (each an “Infringer”) on P2P networks (each an “Infringement”) via the internet
    of Protected Copyrights (as defined below), to collect data regarding such infringements, to offer Settlements to Infringers
    on Your behalf, and to collect all monies paid in settlement thereof.

 

Agreement

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby,
the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

	 	1.	You
    hereby appoint and authorize Rightscorp as your agent throughout the universe (the “Territory”) solely to monitor
    the Internet for Infringements by Infringers of your owned and/or controlled copyrights in and to the copyrights set forth
    on the attached Schedule A (“Protected Copyrights”) (which may be amended from time to time in Your sole discretion
    via an addendum to Schedule A, to be sent by You to Rightscorp) and to do the following:

 

	 	a.	Collect
    data as to Infringements of the Protected Copyrights;
	 	 	 
	 	b.	Send
    notices (including, without limitation, DMCA notices and takedown letters in the form required by law, if appropriate) to
    the Internet Service Providers (“ISPs”) of infringements by the Infringers, and to negotiate settlements on Your
    behalf to each Infringer for each identified Infringement of the Protected Copyrights (each a “Settlement”);
	 	 	 
	 	c.	Collect
    all amounts from Settlements; and
	 	 	 
	 	d.	Pay
    You fifty percent (50%) of the Net Revenues collected by Rightscorp, payable pursuant to Paragraph 6, below. “Net Revenues”
    shall mean the gross settlement Rightscorp actually receives from Infringers (“Gross Collection Amount”), less
    fees actually paid to third parties for credit card processing transaction fees, but in no event less than 96% of Gross Collection
    Amounts. Rightscorp shall hold in trust for You Your share of Net Revenues hereunder. 
	 	 	 
	 	e.	For
    the avoidance of doubt, You reserve the exclusive right to settle, agree, collect or pursue infringements of Protected Copyrights
    other than by individual infringers, including, without limitation, agreements with companies and other entities or groups
    and class-action or industry-wide agreements or settlements with the understanding that no documentation or evidence supplied
    by Rightscorp may be used in a legal proceeding unless and until You and Rightscorp, after good faith discussions, agree as
    to a reasonable fixed fee or reasonable percentage split of any award. Both parties acknowledge that the copyright to infringement
    data supplied by Rightscorp resides with Rightscorp.

 

    	 	Page 1 of 5	 

    	 	 	 

    

 

	 	2.	This
    Agreement shall continue for a period of one (1) year and automatically renew in one (1) month increments, unless You exercise
    the right to terminate for any reason upon thirty (30) days prior written notice (the “Term”). The parties agree
    and acknowledge that no representations, warranties, estimates, or predictions have been made by or on behalf of Rightscorp
    as to the success of the services provided herein or the extent that it will generate Settlements, if any.
	 	 	 
	 	3.	a.
    You represent that You legally own, control and/or administer the share of the Protected Copyrights, as specified on Schedule
    A. For the avoidance of doubt, Protected Copyrights shall refer specifically only to the share represented by You, and Rightscorp’
    authorization hereunder shall apply solely to such share.
	 	 	 
	 	 	b.
    Rightscorp warrants and represents that it has not entered into and shall not enter into any agreement with a third party
    that contains provisions materially more favorable to such third party than those applicable to You hereunder. In the event
    that Rightscorp agrees to any such materially more favorable provisions in a third-party agreement, Rightscorp will make reasonable
    efforts to notify You of such more favorable provisions and, at Your election, such materially more favorable provisions shall
    be deemed incorporated into this agreement, prospectively from the date of that third-party agreement.
	 	 	 
	 	4.	You
    may consent to adding additional Protected Copyrights to Schedule A or deleting Protected Copyrights from Schedule A in writing
    (via facsimile, mail or e-mail) requesting such action, and Rightscorp shall timely confirm each modification to the Protected
    Copyrights upon receipt of any such writing. 
	 	 	 
	 	5.	Except
    as set forth in this Agreement, during the Term Rightscorp shall have the exclusive right to collect settlements that Rightscorp
    has successfully identified, negotiated and settled for Infringements of the Protected Copyrights on P2P Networks. It is contemplated
    that Rightscorp shall collect Settlements of $20.00 for each Infringement, but Rightscorp may accept lower (or higher) amounts
    in settlement if in the reasonable judgment of Rightscorp, accepting such lower (or higher) amount is a prudent business decision.
    You acknowledge and agree that Rightscorp often offers incentives (in the form of reduced settlement amounts) to Infringers
    that are guilty of multiple Infringements. 
	 	 	 
	 	6.	Rightscorp
    shall send You quarterly reports setting forth the Gross Collection Amount for each Protected Copyright, the deductions therefrom
    and the Net Revenues due You. Payments shall be made on a quarterly basis, with payment being made within forty-five (45)
    days after the end of each quarterly period. Rightscorp shall keep complete, detailed, and accurate books and records of all
    Gross Collection Amounts and all deductions therefrom resulting in Net Revenues, during the Term, as well as any amounts received
    after the Term. Rightscorp shall continue to make quarterly payments of Net Revenues to You on any amounts that are received
    pursuant to this Agreement after the Term. You shall have the right to inspect, examine, and copy Rightscorp’s books
    and records (an “Audit”), with respect to any statement received by you during the Term and for thirty-six (36)
    months thereafter, (the “Audit Period”). You may conduct an Audit: (1) At any time within thirty-six (36) months
    following the receipt by You of a statement from Rightscorp during the Audit Period; (2) only with reasonable, advance written
    notice to Rightscorp; (3) only for the purpose of verifying the amounts collected and due to You hereunder; (4) only once
    with respect to each statement; (5) during regular business hours at Rightscorp’ normal place of business; (6) at Your
    sole cost and expense provided, however, that if any such audit reveals any underpayment of Net Revenues in connection with
    amounts owed of five percent (5%) or more, then Rightscorp shall pay all of Your reasonable auditing expenses.

	 	7.	You
    recognize that Rightscorp is providing the service described herein to You on a non-exclusive basis, and accordingly, Rightscorp
    may perform for others services that are similar or identical to the service provided to You under this Agreement, and this
    Agreement does not prevent Rightscorp from providing such services or developing materials that are competitive with those
    developed or provided hereunder regardless of any similarity to the service provided herein. 
	 	 	 
	 	8.	You
    hereby represent, warrant and covenant that, with respect to this Agreement: (i) the execution, delivery, and performance
    by You of this Agreement has been or as of the date of execution will have been, duly authorized by all necessary corporate
    or other required action; (ii) the individual executing such documents on Your behalf was duly authorized to do so; (iii)
    the Agreement constitutes a legal, valid, and binding agreement and is enforceable in accordance with its terms; and (iv)
    the Protected Copyrights, to the best of Your knowledge, do not violate, misappropriate, or infringe upon the intellectual
    property or other rights of any third party.
	 	 	 
	 	9.	This
    Agreement has been entered into in the State of California, and the validity, interpretation, and legal effect of this Agreement
    shall be governed by the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts entered into and performed entirely within
    the State of California. The state courts of the State of California in Los Angeles County, and the federal courts for the
    Central District of California, shall have sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any and all controversies regarding
    or arising from this Agreement (a “Related Action”). Any Related Action will be brought in those courts, and not
    elsewhere. In connection with any Related Action, the parties hereto expressly consent to personal jurisdiction in the State
    of California and hereby agree to waive any objections based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, lack of subject matter jurisdiction,
    forum non conveniens or any similar grounds. 
	 	 	 
	 	10.	This
    Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter and
    supersedes any prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements, representations, understandings, or warranties between
    them. No change, modification, waiver, discharge, amendment, or addition to this Agreement shall be binding unless it is in
    writing and signed by the parties hereto.
	 	 	 
	 	11.	The
    invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions of this
    Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted.
	 	 	 
	 	12.	No
    delay, forbearance, or neglect by either party in the enforcement of any of the conditions, rights or remedies provided for
    in this Agreement shall constitute a waiver thereof in any instance or for the future.
	 	 	 
	 	13.	This
    Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be enforceable against the parties executing such
    counterparts, and all of which together shall constitute a single document. Except as otherwise stated herein, in lieu of
