Ownership and Confidentiality You acknowledge and agree that the Lezage Training Center ("LTC") is compiled, prepared, selected, and arranged by Lezage, L.L.C. ("Lezage") through the expenditure of substantial time, effort, and money and that it constitutes valuable property of Lezage, and that you shall refrain from sharing any information relative to LTC with any party other than a current client of your company that you reasonably believe is not a safety, health, and/or environmental publisher, service provider, or vendor, or otherwise a competitor of Lezage.

("BLR"), or, and where indicated, Lezage. You acknowledge and agree that LTC and all its components are copyrighted, and you shall take reasonable steps to safeguard against any copyright infringement by you or your clients. This provision shall survive any termination of this Commercial License. Scope of Use/Restrictions You acknowledge and agree that LTC will only be used for the benefit of your company and its commercial clients, and that such use by your commercial clients is limited to training their employees (full, part-time, and temporary), and as such, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Commercial License and good and valuable consideration, Lezage grants your company a limited license to access and use LTC and to sublicense the foregoing license to your clients as provided herein.

All such alterations must be provided to mgallutia@lezage.com for approval prior to use.

This provision shall survive any termination of this Commercial License. Disclaimer Due to the constantly changing nature of government regulations, it is impossible to guarantee the total and absolute accuracy of the material, courseware, etc. contained in the LTC service, and Lezage and BLR cannot and do not assume any responsibility for omissions, errors, misprinting, or ambiguity contained in the LTC service. Lezage and BLR shall not be held liable in any degree for any loss, damage, or injury caused by any such omission, error, misprinting, or ambiguity present in the LTC service. The LTC service is designed to provide reasonably accurate and authoritative information in regard to the subject matter covered. It is made available with the understanding that neither Lezage nor BLR are engaged in rendering legal, accounting, or other professional service. If legal advice or other expert service is required, the services of a competent professional should be sought. Limited warranty and limitation of liability Lezage warrants that it has the authority to convey the rights which are the subject of this Commercial License. As used below, Protected Parties means: (a) Lezage and BLR and their affiliates and any of their officers, directors, members, employees, subcontractors, agents, successors, or assigns. LTC is provided on an "as is", "as available" basis. The Protected Parties expressly disclaim all other warranties, express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. The Protected Parties shall not be liable for any loss, injury, claim, liability, or damage including, but not limited to, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages of any kind resulting in any way from: any errors in or omissions from LTC or any materials available or not included therein, the unavailability or interruptions of LTC or any features thereof, your use of any equipment in connection with LTC, and the content of materials or any delay or failure in performance beyond the reasonable control of a Protected Party. If the foregoing limitations are held to be unenforceable, the Protected Parties' maximum liability to you, the Commercial License holder, shall not exceed the amount of the annual Commercial License fee you most recently paid to Lezage. The remedies available to you under this agreement are exclusive. Some states do not allow the limitations or exclusion of implied warranties, so these, or other exclusions, may not apply to you. This provision shall survive any termination of this Commercial License. Termination, Renewals, Amendments * Effective Date. This Commercial License becomes effective when you indicate acceptance of the Commercial License terms by completing the Lezage Training Center distribution partner registration form and clicking the "Submit" button. Any changes to this Commercial License will be announced to you through any communication, e.g., the Lezage partner newsletter, and if you don’t object in writing within ten (10) days of receipt of said communication, the changes will become effective as of the announcement date. * Term. The term of this Commercial License is twelve (12) months. Should you choose to terminate this Commercial License, Lezage, in its sole discretion, will determine the amount of refund, if any, due to you. When the Commercial License terminates, or you do not renew the Commercial License, any information you or your clients have entered into LTC may no longer be accessible to you or your clients, and Lezage does not guarantee that such information will be maintained or archived for access. * Renewal. This Commercial License shall renew automatically for twelve (12) month periods, and you agree to pay the annual Commercial License fee at least 15 days in advance of the commencement of the renewal period. * Non-renewal. If you choose not to renew the Commercial License, you must notify Lezage at least 45 days in advance of the commencement of the renewal period. This notification must be sent to mgallutia@lezage.com. * Access. Continued access to LTC, in this first and subsequent Commercial License terms, is subject to payment of the annual Commercial License fee as determined by Lezage. The amount of the first and any subsequent annual Commercial License fee will be established in Lezage’s sole discretion. The Commercial License fee is based, in part, on an assumption that client usage will be approximately 10% of your commercial client count, and usage in excess of this figure may result in a fee increase. * Notwithstanding any of the above: At Lezage's sole discretion, Lezage may terminate this Commercial License on ten (10) days notice (via email or otherwise) to you: (a) should LTC content or any component thereof no longer be available for whatever reason; (b) if Lezage believes you have violated the terms or abused the intent of this Commercial License, provided that Lezage has provided you notice of such violation and you have failed to cure the violation within thirty (30) days receipt of such notice; or (c) if you commit any fraud or material misrepresentation in any respect or manner, or (d) if BLR so directs. Termination under subsections (b), (c), and (d) does not entitle you to a refund of any Commercial License fees. In the event termination occurs under subsection (a), you shall receive a refund of any pre-paid fees prorated for the balance of the term. Agreement Binding On Successors This Commercial License shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of you and Lezage, and our respective heirs, administrators, successors, and assigns. Waiver & Severability No waiver by Lezage or any default shall be deemed as a waiver of any prior or subsequent default of the same or other provisions of this Commercial License. If any provision of this Commercial License is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the other provisions of this Commercial License will remain in full force and effect. Assignability This Commercial License and the rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned by any act or by operation of law, including, but not limited to, bankruptcy, assignment for benefit of creditors, collateral for a loan or satisfaction of a loan, without the prior written consent of Lezage; provided, however, that this Commercial License and the rights and obligations hereunder shall be freely assignable by Lezage. Relationship Nothing in this Commercial License shall be deemed to create a relationship of partners, joint venturers, employer-employee, master-servant, or franchiser- franchisee between the parties. Neither party to this Commercial License may obligate the other to any expense or liability except upon the written consent of the other. Delay Is Not Waiver No failure of either party to exercise or enforce any of its rights under this Commercial License will act as a waiver of such rights. Jurisdiction This Commercial License shall be construed, interpreted, and enforced under the laws of the State of Michigan, and all disputes shall be resolved in the applicable state courts of Michigan or federal courts with Michigan jurisdiction. The parties consent to the jurisdiction of such courts, and agree to accept service of process by mail, and further agree that the venue of all disputes shall be Ingham County, Michigan. Integration This Commercial License is the only agreement between the parties with regard to the subject matter hereto and shall not be modified or amended except by Lezage.
