3.2.3.1 For Event Organizers: Customer as the event organizer may purchase user subscription rights to allocate among event staff and third party exhibitors at one or more events.

3.2.3.2 Single Event License for Exhibitors: An event organizer may enable exhibitors to obtain user subscription rights directly from Cvent via the Exhibitor Portal (described below); provided that where Customer as the event organizer does not purchase user subscription rights in advance, Customer agrees that the Service will be the sole and exclusive lead capture solution available for the event (except to the extent the parties mutually agree to waive this requirement in the case of a particular exhibitor or event).

3.2.3.3 Multi-Event Subscription Right for Exhibitors ("Universal Lead Capture"):  A Customer that wishes to use a single lead capture solution for multiple tradeshows, conferences and other events it attends as an exhibitor or sponsor may avail subscription rights to the solution on a subscription basis to use for all such events during the term of the Agreement.  Where an event does not utilize Cvent’s event registration software, Customer understands and agrees that Cvent will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary “badge kit” or similar codes or credentials to unlock attendee information for use with Cvent’s lead capture solution, however Cvent cannot guarantee cooperation by third party event registration service providers.

3.2.3.4 Subscription Rights Options: Application & Equipment Rental, or Application Only:  A subscription right that includes device-rental permits an authorized user to use the Software for lead management at a specified event, preinstalled on an iOS or AndroidTM mobile device or scanner provided at the event location by Cvent or a third-party supplier. A software-only or “bring-your-own-device” subscription right permits the authorized user to download, install and operate the lead capture software on a supported mobile device or scanner provided by the user or by Customer.

3.3 Exhibitor Portal.  You may order user subscription rights, create and manage user ids (up to the number of purchased subscription rights), and access your Leads and Lead Data through Cvent’s lead management and exhibitor management web applications (the “Exhibitor Portal”), as well as through the Event Management web application if Customer has availed subscription rights to that product. You will have access to both Leads and Lead Data for attendees whose information your own staff have scanned or entered through the App.  Where Customer is the host or organizer of an event and has allocated subscription rights to one or more third party exhibitors, Customer shall have access to Leads and Lead Data collected by such exhibitors.

You shall take reasonable precautions to protect against theft, loss or fraudulent use of such User IDs, and you are solely responsible for any losses arising from another party’s use of such User IDs, either with or without your knowledge.

You may use the Service only for the purposes of performing your internal business operations or for the limited uses set forth in Section 3 (Software) of these Terms. You may not use the Service as part of a commercial time-sharing or service-bureau operation or in any other resale capacity. Except for the foregoing subscription right, no other rights in the Service are granted hereunder, and the Service is and will remain the sole and exclusive property of Cvent and its licensors, if any, whether the Service is separate or integrated with any other products, services or deliverables. You agree that you will use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms of Use. You shall not attempt to reverse engineer, disassemble or decompile the Software or cause or permit the reverse engineering, disassembly or de-compilation of the Software. Customer understands and agrees that any attempt by Customer (or by others on behalf of Customer) to violate the foregoing subscription right or restrictions set forth in this Section 4 would cause Cvent irreparable injury, and Customer will pay all reasonable attorney's fees and legal costs incurred by Cvent to enforce the provisions of this Section 4.

4.2 Preexisting Materials/Development.  Cvent will retain full and exclusive ownership of all Preexisting Materials and related Intellectual Property.  “Preexisting Materials” means any Intellectual Property Rights or tangible personal property of either party created before the Effective Date or outside the scope of this Agreement, or any proprietary licensed software, design templates, event management, reporting and other event related technologies and systems, and related documentation owned or licensed by Cvent, or any modifications or derivative works thereof, including after the Effective Date.  Preexisting Materials shall include, without limitation, Cvent’s proprietary software, including Intelligent Leads, Intelligent Attendance, Intelligent Check-In, Intelligent Exhibitor, Intelligent Registration, Intelligent Connect, and Intelligent Mobile.   Cvent may expand this definition as reasonably warranted.  Customer acknowledges and agrees any software and any deliverables Cvent creates pursuant to this Agreement are not and will not be considered as “works made for hire” under the  Copyright Act of Canada, or “joint works of authorship,” or any other designation tending to imply that Customer has or retains ownership or authorship rights therein or thereto, but are provided to Customer in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Cvent retains all ownership, intellectual property rights and title to such software and deliverables and to the extent that any such rights vest initially with Customer by operation of law or for any other reason, Customer hereby perpetually and irrevocably assigns, transfers, and quitclaims all such rights to Cvent.  Subject to Cvent’s confidentiality obligations in Section 9, nothing herein prevents or limits Cvent’s right to undertake engagements for any other entity, transfer or license the deliverables to other parties, or to reuse them in whole or in part in other projects, including a competitor of Customer, whether or not similar to this engagement.

All such redistribution shall be subject to terms and conditions by and between Cvent and exhibitors only and Customer may not bind Cvent to any additional terms under any circumstances. In addition, the pricing for the redistribution of such Services shall be as set forth in the Statement of Work and all exhibitors shall pay such fees directly to Cvent. Upon receipt of payment from exhibitors, on a monthly basis Cvent shall remit to Customer the percentage of the fees designated in the Statement of Work via the payment processing services designated by Cvent. Customer shall not have the right to receive such percentage on any fees, taxes, VAT, or any amounts collected by Cvent other than those specified in the Order Form for redistribution of LeadCapture. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer must maintain an account with the payment processing services designated by Cvent in order to receive payment hereunder. In the event there are amounts owed by Customer to Cvent hereunder that are past due, Cvent shall be entitled to offset against such balance the amounts due under this Section 4.3. Customer acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding the foregoing Cvent reserves and shall have the right to provide its Services directly to any exhibitors, including but not limited to those at the designated event(s), and designate other distributors for LeadCapture as such designated events.

After such 30-day period, Cvent shall have no obligation to maintain or provide any Customer Data and shall thereafter, unless legally prohibited, delete all Customer Data maintained in its production systems, provided Cvent may retain offline copies of Customer-Provided Content and Customer Data on backup media for archival purposes for a reasonable period of time following expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Subject to the terms of this Section, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Cvent may use all data inputted into or collected by the Services, including but not limited to data related to Service utilization and Customer Data, on a historical, aggregated and anonymous basis (collectively, “Aggregate Data”) in compliance with applicable laws and Cvent’s Privacy Policy to provide the Services and for any commercial purposes, including but not limited to the distribution and provision of the Aggregate Data to other Cvent customers and for the preparation and distribution of benchmarking, research, and/or analytical materials. Aggregate Data shall not identify Customer as the source of any specific data, pattern or finding, nor shall it include any personally identifiable information of any individual users of the Service. Cvent shall maintain appropriate security measures for all Aggregate Data in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Cvent will be the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest to such Aggregate Data and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, shall be free to use and disclose on a world-wide and royalty-free basis the Aggregate Data for its business purposes including, but not limited to, publicizing usage of the Services, providing information on general industry trends, and providing benchmarking data to Cvent customers.

Customer acknowledges that Cvent or its licensors retain all copyright, trademark, trade secret, patent and other proprietary and intellectual property rights to the Service (including without limitation to any Software and modifications thereto) and to any related documentation and marketing materials, regardless of whether (i) such intellectual property notices appear in the Software or in related documentation or materials, or (ii) such intellectual property notices have been filed with governmental agencies. Nothing in this Agreement will directly or indirectly be construed to assign or grant Customer any right of ownership, title or interest in the Software or any component of the Service, or any intellectual property rights relating thereto. No competitors or future competitors of Cvent, or of any Cvent subsidiary, are permitted access to the Service without the prior written consent of Cvent in each instance, and such consent may be withheld in Cvent’s sole discretion.

Customer agrees not to disclose to anyone any proprietary or confidential information of Cvent which Customer may receive or have access to through the Service (the "Cvent Content"), or to use any Cvent Content to compete against Cvent or reverse engineer any Cvent product or service. Customer agrees that it will not resell or, for any competing commercial purpose copy, record, publish, compile, reproduce, republish, or use any Cvent Content. Customer agrees to pay all reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred in enforcing the provisions of this Section 8.

9. Confidentiality

Each party receiving Confidential Information hereunder ("Recipient") agrees that (a) it will treat all Confidential Information of the other party with the same degree of care as such Recipient accords to its own Confidential Information, but in no case less than reasonable care; and (b) it will not use, disseminate, or in any way disclose to third parties any Confidential Information of the disclosing party ("Discloser"), except for the provision of the Service to the extent necessary to provide the Service under these Terms, and for any other purpose Discloser may hereafter authorize. For purposes of these Terms, "Confidential Information" means any information, regardless of form, proprietary to or maintained in confidence by either party, including, without limitation, any Customer Data, information, technical data or know-how relating to discoveries, ideas, inventions, software, designs, specifications, processes, systems, diagrams, research, development, business plans, strategies or opportunities, and information related to finances, costs, prices, suppliers, vendors, customers and employees which is disclosed by either party or on its behalf whether directly or indirectly, orally, visually, or in writing, to the other party or any of its employees or agents. The terms and conditions of any Order Form shall be deemed Confidential Information of both Cvent and the Customer.
