By executing this Agreement you represent and warrant you are authorized to bind the Client.

 

BACKGROUND:

 

A. Company has developed a learning experience and associated materials (the “THRIVE Program”) developed with the intent to equip instructors to provide individuals and communities with education, awareness, skills, and resources aimed to increase well-being and reduce the risk of future health and wellness issues or crises;

 

B. Client desires to offer the THRIVE Program, with the understanding that the THRIVE Program is not a substitute for professional healthcare or individualized counseling or therapy;

 

C. Company is agreeable to granting the Client a non-exclusive, non-transferrable license for the use of certain THRIVE Program materials pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

 

D. Company may provide certain materials and intellectual property for limited uses as set forth in this Agreement in connection with the THRIVE Program. Such materials and intellectual property shall remain the exclusive property of Company.

​

IN CONSIDERATION OF the above recitals and of the mutual benefits and obligations set forth in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Client and Company (individually the “Party” and collectively the “Parties” to this Agreement) agree as follows:

 

License

1. Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Company hereby agrees to grant the Client a non-exclusive, non-transferable license (the “License”) to use certain Company materials (the “Curriculum”) necessary for Client to facilitate the THRIVE Program. The licensed Curriculum shall consist of (i) nine (9) instructor presentation files (.ppt), (ii) an instructor training manual document (.pdf), (iii) a program schedule template (.ppt), (iv) a budget tracker document (.xlxs), (v) a participant consent form (.pfd or html), and (vi) a participant feedback form (.pdf or html). The Curriculum may also include other supplementary materials at the Company’s discretion.

 

2. Client shall limit the use of and access to the Curriculum files to only one authorized agent whom the Client designates to serve as the THRIVE Program instructor (“Program Instructor”). Client agrees to store the Curriculum exclusively on one of two mediums accessible only to the Client’s authorized THRIVE Program Instructor: (i) a password-protected flash drive that is securely stored by the Client on its campus or (ii) a password-protected electronic folder on the Client’s secure server.

 

3. The Curriculum shall not be used or accessed by anyone other than the Program Instructor and for any purposes other than instructing the Program. The Program Instructor may use the Curriculum to instruct more than one Program session himself or herself for different participant groups at one time, such as offering a Program session to a group in the morning and offering another Program session to a different group in the afternoon.

 

4. Duplicating, copying, transferring, or emailing the Curriculum as a whole or in part in any way is strictly prohibited except as explicitly provided herein. At the conclusion of the Program, Client may transfer access and use of the Curriculum to a different Client agent designated as the next Program Instructor for the duration of a subsequent Program. If Client wishes to allow use of the Curriculum by more than one Program Instructor at one time (such as to offer multiple Program sessions at the same time with different instructors), Client shall purchase an additional license to acquire any additional set(s) of the Curriculum under the name of a different Client agent or department, which the Client shall record in the second address line provided at the point of purchase of the license.

 

5. Client agrees and acknowledges that Client shall not share, distribute, redistribute, print, reprint, copy, sell or otherwise disseminate the Curriculum in whole or in part or means to access the Curriculum files to any third party without the prior written permission of Company.

 

6. The Curriculum shall not be modified, reproduced, edited, or changed in any manner whatsoever without the express written permission of the Company, except where explicitly provided for in the instructor presentation files included in the Curriculum.

 

7. Client agrees to designate a Program Instructor who (i) is an authorized agent of the Client’s organization, institution, or entity and (ii) has reasonable qualifications and necessary clearances to instruct a wellness course to the Client’s audiences.

 

8. Client agrees to follow the Company instructions for properly administering the THRIVE Program and use of the Curriculum. The instructions are provided by the Company via means including but not limited to the instructor training manual document provided in the Curriculum.

 

9. Client assumes all responsibility for administering the THRIVE Program on its campus. Company will not monitor or supervise Client in administering the THRIVE Program. Client, its agents, employees, successors and assigns, their respective heirs, personal representatives and affiliates, release and forever discharge Company from any liability or responsibility for any and all claims, demands, damages, actions, causes of action or suits of any kind or nature whatsoever, arising out of or in any way relating to Client’s offering, implementation and administration of the THRIVE Program, use of the Curriculum or this License.

 

10. Client agrees that it shall not permit participation by any person in the THRIVE Program without the adult person or the minor’s legal guardian, as applicable, first executing the electronic THRIVE Program consent form (“Consent Form”) provided by Company prior to participation. Company may, from time to time, update the Consent Form at Company's sole discretion. Any subsequent changes shall be effective prospectively for any subsequent participation in the THRIVE Program. The Consent Form shall verify participants’ understanding of and agreement to assumption of any and all risk(s) associated with their participation in the THRIVE Program. A THRIVE Program participant (“Participant”) is defined as any person (i) to whom the Client offers the Program and (ii) who executes the Consent Form. The Consent Form is considered fully executed and enforceable when an individual’s information has been entered, submitted, recorded, and stored into the Company’s secure Wix database. Company shall keep all Consent Forms that include individual identifying information confidential to the extent required by law (see the Company’s privacy policy at https://www.discoverhowtothrive.com/privacy). Upon written request from Client, Company may, in its sole discretion, share with Client the information Client’s Participants submit in the Consent Form. Client may request this information from Company to verify that the individuals who agreed to participate in the THRIVE Program have executed the Consent Form prior to participation. Client shall not use any Participant personal or identifying information for any purposes other than what is necessary to offer the THRIVE Program.

 

11. Unless Company grants Client permission otherwise in writing, Client agrees that it shall not permit any person to participate in the THRIVE Program without each and every Participant owning  his or her own copy of the THRIVE Program workbook, titled THRIVE: A Guide to Individual and Collective Well-Being, by Christie Versagli (“Workbook”). The Workbook is available for purchase on Amazon and may be purchased by the Client in bulk for each Participant, or by each individual Participant for himself or herself. Client assumes all responsibility for the bulk purchase of the Workbooks, such as purchasing fees and shipping.

 

12. To assist Company in improving the Program and Curriculum, Client agrees to request that each Participant complete the electronic THRIVE Program feedback form (“Feedback Form”), found at https://www.discoverhowtothrive.com/feedback, at the conclusion of their participation in the Program. Information submitted within the Feedback Form is stored in a secure Wix database. Company shall keep any individual identifying information submitted within the Feedback Form confidential to the extent required by law. Upon written request from Client, Company may, in its sole discretion, share pertinent information or data provided on Client’s Participants’ Feedback Form with Client.

 

13. Title to all intellectual property and the rights pertaining thereto, including but not limited to copyrights and distribution rights of the Curriculum remain exclusively with Company. This Agreement constitutes a license for use only and is not in any way a transfer of ownership rights or any interest in the Curriculum or the THRIVE Program.

 

14. The rights and obligations set forth herein are granted exclusively to Client. Client shall not transfer or assign any of the rights or obligations granted under this Agreement to any other person or legal entity. Client shall not make available the Curriculum for use, reproduction, distribution or otherwise to any third party.

 

15. Company may, from time to time, update the Program materials which are the subject of this License to enhance the Program offerings. Upon notification from Company, Client shall purchase the updated materials at a reduced license fee for current licensees. Should Client fail to purchase updated materials for subsequent Program offerings, continued use of outdated materials shall be considered a material breach of Client’s License.

 

16. The Company reserves the right to revoke this License at any time and for any reason at the Company’s sole discretion.

 

17. Failure to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement resulting in the immediate termination of the License and any other remedies available at law or equity.
