Master Client Agreement

This Master Client Agreement (“MCA”) is entered into between Syndigo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Syndigo”), and the Client (“Client”) identified in any Services Agreement signed by both Parties referencing this MCA (each, a “Services Agreement”), and is effective as to such Service Agreement as of the effective date identified therein (the “Effective Date”). Together the Services Agreement and this MCA are referred to as the “Agreement”. Client and Syndigo may be referred to in the Agreement individually as a “Party” and together as the “Parties”.

1. Background

Syndigo provides digital asset management and product information management solutions to enable an efficient and accurate transfer of information across the brand, retailer and restaurant ecosystem using Syndigo’s proprietary content management software and other platforms (collectively, the “Platform”). Syndigo’s services and any related specifications will be set forth in the applicable Services Agreement and may include access to the Platform, creating, hosting and providing access to product digital images, video, attributes, data, enhanced content and other information to maximize in-store and ecommerce sales, supply chain management, shelf merchandising and store optimization, menu nutrition access solutions, implementation services, professional services, creative services and managed services (collectively, inclusive of the licensing of Syndigo Content as set forth below, the “Services”). The Services may include use of images, data, attributes, media and other information for products and/or product cases as imaged, coded, compiled and arranged by Syndigo (“Syndigo Content”) and/or Client-created images, data, attributes, media and other information for its own branded products (“Client Content”), all as more fully described in the applicable Services Agreement. The Agreement governs Client’s access to and use of the Services. A Services Agreement may provide for the provision of Services to Client by an Affiliate of Syndigo, in which case such Affiliate shall be solely responsible for providing such Services, but such Services Agreement shall be subject to this MCA, with all references herein to Syndigo deemed, for the purposes of such Services Agreement, to refer to such Affiliate.

2. Syndigo License Grant

2.1 Terms of Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this MCA, and any additional restrictions, terms or conditions set forth in the applicable Services Agreement, Syndigo grants to Client a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to make use of the Services and any Syndigo Content provided with the Services solely for the purposes specified in the applicable Services Agreement. .

2.2 Ownership. Client acknowledges that the Services and Syndigo Content, excluding any Client Content, are proprietary to Syndigo and that Syndigo owns certain Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Services and the Syndigo Content, and that Client will not acquire any rights thereto other than the right to use the Services and/or the Syndigo Content as set forth under the Agreement. Syndigo may, from time to time and in the ordinary course of its business, add, delete and modify Syndigo Content. Syndigo does not grant Client any rights in its compilation or arrangement of Syndigo Content into its proprietary database. “Intellectual Property Rights” means all copyrights, including any rights to derivative works, trademark rights, trade secrets, know-how and patents (whether arising under federal, state or foreign law). Syndigo’s Intellectual Property Rights do not include any rights to Client Content, Client’s products, labels, packaging, illustrations, images, copyrights, trademarks, or trade dress generally, and such rights will remain solely those of Client. Syndigo’s Intellectual Property Rights also do not include any rights to content provided by third parties (“Third-Party Content”).

2.3 Client Users. “Client Users” means any employee or individual independent contractor of Client (solely to the extent that such contractor is making use of the Services on behalf of Client and solely using Client’s internal systems in connection therewith) involved in carrying out the purpose of the Services Agreement. Client shall ensure that each Client User complies with the Agreement.

2.4 Third Party Users. In the event Client desires to utilize the services of any Person that is not a Client User (each, a “Third Party User”) in connection with any access to or use of the Services (e.g., the Platform and Syndigo Content) for the benefit of Client, Client must first request and receive prior written authorization from Syndigo, such authorization will not be unreasonably withheld. A Third Party User approved by Syndigo must enter into Syndigo’s form of restricted use agreement prior to receiving access to the Services or Syndigo Content. Upon termination of the applicable Services Agreement, or upon completion or termination of a Third Party User’s need to use or access the applicable Services or Syndigo Content, Client will ensure the Third Party User has ceased using the Services and any Syndigo Content in the control or possession of the Third Party User has been destroyed. Client will provide written certification of the same to Syndigo.

3. Restrictions On Use Of Services And Syndigo Content

Except as expressly provided under the Services Agreement, Client and Client Users will not:

1. Sell, distribute, sublicense, grant access to or otherwise transfer any Services or Syndigo Content, in whole or in part, to any Affiliate or any third party;

2. Use with, integrate and/or populate any third-party software or database with Syndigo Content, including space management programs or applications, e-commerce applications, mobile applications, data sync, print advertising, or in-store signage including shelf tags and strips unless specifically allowed as permitted uses and expressly set forth in the Services Agreement;

3. Alter or modify the Syndigo Content, or remove any source attribution included in the Syndigo Content;

4. Utilize the Syndigo Content to create a new database, merge with or supplement an existing database or otherwise attempt to replicate the Syndigo Content, other than transient caching or other temporary storage incidental to the Permitted Uses set forth in the Services Agreement;

5. Reverse assemble, reverse compile, or otherwise translate any portion of the software or other intellectual property relating to the Services; or

6. Interfere with, circumvent, manipulate or disrupt the operation or the functionality of any Services or link to elements or components of the Service, independently from the web pages on which they originally appear, or display the Services or any part thereof in an exposed or concealed frame.

4. Platform

Except as otherwise specifically set forth in the applicable Services Agreement, Syndigo will provide Client unique access credentials for the number of Platform users set forth in the Services Agreement (each, a “Platform User”). A Platform User must be either a Client User or an approved Third Party User. Platform User logins are for designated Platform Users only and cannot be shared or used by more than one Platform User, but any Platform User login may be permanently reassigned to another Platform User by Syndigo upon Client’s written request. Client will be responsible for the confidentiality and use of a Platform User’s access credentials.

In the event Client elects not to use a unique flag or identifier to mark the Syndigo Content, then Syndigo Content may not be stored with Client or third-party data in the same database and Syndigo Content must be kept separate at all times from all other data on Client’s servers. All Syndigo Content must be stored as delivered by Syndigo to Client and in no event is Client permitted to modify, merge, integrate or in any way combine Client or third-party data into the Syndigo Content.

5.3 Unauthorized Use and Access. Client will be responsible for any breaches by its employees, Client Users, Third Party Users or other persons who make unauthorized use of, or who gain unauthorized access to, the Services or Syndigo Content in connection with their services to or affiliation with Client.

The Impacted Party shall use diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and ensure the effects of such Force Majeure Event are minimized.

Information which is required by law to be disclosed may be disclosed provided, however, that to the extent practicable, the disclosing party is first given notice of the required disclosure and an adequate opportunity to seek appropriate legal relief to prevent such disclosure or limit its use and further disclosure.

12.11 Equitable Relief. The remedy at law for breach of a Party’s unique rights pursuant to the Agreement being inadequate, each Party will be entitled, in addition to such other remedies as it may have, to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and to specific performance for any breach or threatened breach of the Agreement by the other Party without proof of any actual damages that have been or may be caused to it by such breach, and without the requirement of the posting of a bond.

12.12 Privacy and Data Security. All capitalized terms in this Section but not otherwise defined under this MCA shall have the meanings defined in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”). If, in the context of the provision of the Services, Syndigo Processes Personal Data on behalf of Client, Syndigo shall be deemed to act as a Processor, and Client shall be deemed to act as a Controller with respect to the Processing of such Personal Data. Client agrees that if the Parties have not agreed upon a Data Processing Addendum (as defined below), or when a Data Processing Addendum is not in full force and effect for any other reason, Client shall be prohibited from submitting to or otherwise Processing Personal Data within the Syndigo applications if said Processing is governed by data protection or privacy laws that require the execution of a processing agreement between the Processor and the Controller (“Data Processing Addendum”), such as the GDPR, and shall be obligated to immediately cease and desist from any such Processing activities for as long as a Data Processing Addendum between the Parties is not in full force and effect. Syndigo’s Data Processing Addendum is available at https://syndigo.com/legal/client-dpa or by request to privacy@syndigo.com and can be accepted by returning a signed copy of the Syndigo Data Processing Addendum Accession Agreement to privacy@syndigo.com (which can be obtained by contacting privacy@syndigo.com).

In no event will Client have the right to access such aggregate anonymous data.

12.14 Export Control. Client acknowledges and agree that the Services may be subject to export laws and regulations of the United States and other jurisdictions.

Client shall not permit Platform Users to access or use the Services in, or export any Syndigo Content to, a U.S.-embargoed destination (currently Cuba, Crimea, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, or Syria).

12.15 Modifications. If Syndigo makes a material change to this MCA, then Syndigo will notify Client by sending an email to the notification email address in the latest Services Agreement. If the change has a material adverse impact on Client and Client does not agree to the change, Client must so notify Syndigo via email at contract-admin@syndigo.com within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of the change. If Client notifies Syndigo as required, then Client will remain governed by the Agreement in effect immediately prior to the change until the end of the Term for the then-active Services Agreement(s).
