This provision excludes Website or printed graphics, page layout and copy provided or produced in conjunction with full-service web site design, identity packages and print projects. Ibex CMS is a proprietary software product belonging exclusively to RSM and may be leased on an annual basis to client except in the instance that RSM provides explicit written consent otherwise.

All material developed by RSM including but not limited to virtual tours, images, still photography, graphics, page layouts, links, and advertising copy shall remain the sole property of RSM and shall not be reproduced or republished in any form without the expressed written consent of RSM. This provision shall survive the termination of this agreement. RSM shall have the right to use such material without limitation in the promotional and other legitimate business purposes of RSM and any subsidiaries or affiliates. We will not knowingly use copyrighted materials of any kind, unless you or your company holds the copyright or has obtained expressed permission in writing to include such material in your advertising. RSM does not accept responsibility for any usage of copyrighted materials provided by you. You warrant and represent that no materials provided by you to RSM will infringe the rights of, or damage any third party. Further, we reserve the right to take any action required to comply with applicable intellectual property law including but not limited to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. RSM retains unlimited rights to use work produced for you to promote RSM in new business efforts, respecting other clauses herein.

Subscriptions:

Outsourced Marketing Department, marketing technology subscriptions and ongoing maintenance work are billed a month in advance for the work committed.

For any subscriptions, marketing technologies, or scoped projects paid or due to RSM, you are obligated to pay for sixty (60) days after termination or “kill” notice is given. Some technology subscriptions may have a minimum term of one year which will still be honored.

In cases where RSM has provided a great deal of work disproportionately in excess of the monthly amount of the subscription or in the scoped project, RSM will total all time, materials and other expenses incurred to date and reconcile that outstanding balance with your payments made. Any overage due RSM will be billed to you. If you fail to pay this amount, the entire subscription/scoped project balance per this or any other Agreement with RSM will be due in full.

Promotional Pages:

(IF APPLICABLE) RSM will design, build, host and maintain advertising for your lawful business within site/servers for a varying period of up to one year beginning thirty (30) days after initial contract signing. You have the option to extend this agreement by paying a renewal fee and upon terms agreeable to both parties, to be negotiated no later than the expiration of this contract or any extension thereof. Payment of renewal charges by you for any recurring service shall constitute acceptance of this agreement as to such renewal period.
