[Trainer may use the Corentus name, and refer to the Team Tool and Microtools, in promotional materials solely to refer to the specific Corentus content Trainer is offering to teach, but must not misrepresent which Corentus content Trainer is offering to teach. For example, if a Trainer’s offering includes certain Microtools, but not the entire Team Tool, then any relevant promotional material for such offering shall make that distinction clear, for instance by noting that the offering “features components” of the Team Tool. A Team Tool shall be described in Trainer’s promotional materials as a “tool from the Corentus Team Development Toolkit.”] Trainer will ensure that any promotional materials using Corentus’ name or referring to the Team Tool and Microtools include a clearly visible trademark notice or the appropriate trademark symbol.

CORENTUS FURTHER DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RELATED TO TRAINER’S ACCESS OR USE OF THE T3 COURSE OR ANY RELATED CONTENT. TRAINER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICES OR SUCH CONTENT IS AT HIS OR HER OWN RISK. 

9.2. Limitation of Liability.
IN NO EVENT SHALL CORENTUS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY.

10.  Assignment.
Trainer shall not assign, subcontract or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the written consent of Corentus. Any attempt to do so without such consent shall be void.  

11. Notice.
All notices under this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be deemed given when personally delivered, sent by confirmed electronic means, or three (3) days after being sent by prepaid certified or registered U.S. mail to the address of the party to be noticed as set forth herein. You agree that email to your email address on record will constitute formal notice under this Agreement. 

12. Entire Agreement. 
This Agreement, including the Corentus Trainer Standards Policy and the Privacy Policy which are incorporated herein by reference, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior discussion, negotiations and agreements, whether oral or written, between them with respect to such subject matter. 

13. Dispute Resolution.
Trainer agrees that the initial primary method of resolution of any controversy or claim between Trainer and Corentus arising out of this Agreement or the actions or inactions of Trainer will be direct negotiation between them. In the event any such controversy or a claim cannot be settled by the parties or their legal representatives by direct negotiation, prior to commencement of any legal action or proceeding, the parties shall attempt to mediate their dispute using a professional mediator selected by agreement from the American Arbitration Association, the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution or like organization or, absent agreement, through selection procedures administered by the CPR.  The parties agree that within a period of forty-five (45) days after the request for mediation, the parties will convene with the mediator, with business representatives present, for at least one session to attempt to resolve the matter. In no event will mediation delay commencement of legal action or proceedings for more than forty-five (45) days absent agreement of the parties or interfere with the availability of emergency relief. All aspects of the mediation shall be treated as confidential.   

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, each party has the right to seek from the appropriate court provisional remedies to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo, or preserve the subject matter of the dispute. Trainer agrees that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by Trainer will cause irreparable harm to Corentus for which damages would not be an adequate remedy, and, therefore, Corentus will be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief with respect thereto (without the necessity of posting any bond) in addition to any other remedies. As a result, notwithstanding the mediation provisions of the preceding paragraph, Corentus shall have the right to seek and obtain equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.  

Any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, and each party consents to the jurisdiction thereof. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees.  

14. Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the substantive laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to its principles of conflicts of law.  

15. Force Majeure. 
Neither party shall be responsible for any breach of, or default under, this Agreement by reason of strikes, riots, wars, acts of terrorism, fire, public health emergencies, or acts in compliance with any new or newly changed applicable law, in each case beyond such party’s reasonable control and without fault of such party; provided that, (a) the affected party shall promptly give notice thereof to the other party, and shall take commercially reasonable steps to overcome the effects of such event as soon as possible; (b) such party’s delay in performance shall be excused only for the period of delay caused by such event; and (c) if such force majeure event continues for more than thirty (30) days, the other party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice. 

16. Amendments; Waiver.
The failure of Corentus to enforce its rights under this Agreement at any time for any period shall not be construed as a waiver of such rights.  Corentus can modify or amend this Agreement at any time in our sole discretion (unless otherwise prohibited by law). Corentus will provide notice of such changes by publishing a revised version of this Agreement on the Corentus.com website.  This includes changing any or all of this Agreement, even the prices and services provided. If any such change materially affects your rights under the Agreement, or negatively impacts your use of the T3 Course in a material way, or results in higher fees being charged to you by Corentus, Corentus will provide you with notice of such change in writing, which may include by electronic mail. AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE OF A CHANGE THAT MATERIALLY AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE AGREEMENT, NEGATIVELY IMPACTS YOUR USE OF THE T3 COURSE IN A MATERIAL WAY, OR RESULTS IN HIGHER FEES BEING CHARGED TO YOU, YOU MAY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT OR AGREE TO THE CHANGE. IF YOU DO NOT TERMINATE WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THE NOTICE, THEN YOU WILL BE AGREEING TO THE CHANGE AND IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY BECOME PART OF THE AGREEMENT AND YOU AGREE THAT CORENTUS MAY USE ANY CREDIT CARD OF YOURS THAT IT HAS ON FILE FOR PAYMENT OF SUCH CHARGES. 

17. Severability.
In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
