2. End-User rights in and to Application under this Agreement is limited to those expressly granted to End-User herein and Engage121 expressly reserves all rights, titles, interests and licenses in and to the Application (together with all improvements, enhancements and modifications thereto) not expressly granted to End-User, including all copyrights, trademarks, patents and other intellectual property rights. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to mean, and we do not grant, you any right or license in any of our intellectual property or proprietary material, including proprietary images, artwork, copy, information, data, knowledge, computer software or any other material or information of any kind or any other trademark, service mark or trade name.
3. The terms of this Agreement will govern upgrades to the Application provided by Engage121, if any, that replace and/or supplement the original Application, unless such upgrades are accompanied by a separate license in which case the terms of that separate license shall govern. The decision to provide upgrades and whether or not to charge for such upgrades shall be made in the sole discretion of Engage121.
ACCEPTANCE. If Client is accepting the terms and conditions of this Agreement (or any amendment or modification hereto) on behalf of any other End-User, Client represents that it has the authority to do so, and each End-User acknowledges and agrees that its initial and subsequent use of the Application shall further evidence its acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (and any amendment or modification hereto).
TERM AND TERMINATION. The License commences upon Acceptance and shall continue for a period of twelve (12) months (the “Initial Term”). Thereafter, the Initial Term shall automatically renew on a month-to-month basis (each month-to-month period being a “Renewal Term”). The Initial Term, plus any and all Renewal Terms, are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Term”. The Term and the License may be terminated by End-User or Engage121 as follows:
