In addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, Bruush will have the right to terminate this Agreement on written notice to Furnishing Company if, (i) Talent is charged with or indicted for or convicted of any felony crime involving moral turpitude or Talent has committed or commits an act inconsistent with Talent’s persona which brings Talent into public disrepute, contempt, or scandal, provided that the foregoing will not apply to any act which is already a matter of public record as of the Effective Date and before any termination, Bruush shall first discuss its concerns with Talent and accord Talent a reasonable opportunity to cure such conduct (e.g., through a retraction, clarification and/or apology); (ii) Talent publicly disparages Bruush or the Campaign; and (iii) Talent is unable to perform services at any service day (including the Service Days), event or press obligations or other appearances set forth herein because Talent is intoxicated or under the influence of drugs.

Accordingly, when any Party (the “Receiving Party”) receives or accesses Confidential Information from or of the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) the Receiving Party will, both during the Term and after the Term; (a) maintain the Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party in strict confidence; (b) not disclose the Confidential Information from the Disclosing Party to any third party without the Disclosing Party’s prior written approval, subject to Section 14.02 below; and (c) not use the Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party for any purpose other than for the purposes permitted by this Agreement. The Receiving Party will take reasonable measures to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of such information by persons or parties under its control or direction, which measures, in any event, will be no less stringent than the measures taken by the Receiving Party to protect its own confidential and proprietary information of a similar nature. The Receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only to those of its officers, directors, employees, contractors, attorneys, accountants, agents and managers who have a need to know such Confidential Information for the purposes of enabling a Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Receiving Party undertakes to ensure that such officers, directors, employees, contractors, attorneys, accountants, agents, managers and other professional representatives are bound by confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations with respect to such Confidential Information that are no less strict than the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 14.01. Neither Party will intentionally disclose Confidential Information to the other Party (or to Talent) unless such information is necessary for the other Party to fulfill its obligations hereunder. All Confidential Information provided to a Receiving Party shall be returned to the Disclosing Party (or destroyed) promptly after the end of the Term upon written request from the Disclosing Party therefor.

 

 

14.02 Required Disclosures. A Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent required by applicable law or by order of a governmental agency or court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the Receiving Party notifies the Disclosing Party promptly after becoming aware of its obligation to make such disclosure (and prior to any such disclosure) and cooperates with the Disclosing Party in any efforts to seek a protective order or otherwise to challenge or limit such disclosure. In addition, a Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to a court in order to enforce such Party’s rights under this Agreement, provided that such Party uses good faith reasonable efforts to obtain a protective order from the court covering the disclosed Confidential Information.

 

14.03 Exceptions. The obligations contained in this Section 14 will not apply, or will cease applying, as the case may be, to specific Confidential Information to the extent that: (a) it is publicly known at the time of disclosure to the Receiving Party or, at the time of an alleged breach hereof, has become publicly known other than as a result of any act or failure to act on the part of the Receiving Party; (b) it was rightfully in the Receiving Party’s possession prior to its confidentiality obligations hereunder; (c) at the time of an alleged breach hereof, it had been obtained from a third party not under any confidentiality, fiduciary, or similar obligation; or (d) at the time of an alleged breach hereof, it had been independently developed by persons without reference to any Confidential Information.

 

15.	Miscellaneous.

 

15.01 Notices. All notices, requests, demands or other communications under this Agreement must be in writing in order to be effective, and will be deemed to have been duly given or made: (a) on the date delivered in person; (b) on the date indicated on the return receipt if mailed postage prepaid, by certified or registered U.S. Mail or Canada Postal Services, with return receipt requested; (c) if sent by FedEx, U.P.S. Next Day Air, or other internationally recognized overnight courier service, with service charges or postage prepaid, on the next business day after delivery to the courier service (if sent in time for and specifying next day delivery); or (d) via email (with receipt confirmed).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any communications regarding requests for approval or for scheduling purposes hereunder may be made via email pursuant to Section 9.04 hereof.

 

15.02 Independent Contractors. The relationship between Furnishing Company and Bruush (or between Bruush and Talent) will at all times be that of independent contractors and nothing contained herein will render or constitute such Parties as joint venturers, partners, franchisees, or agents of the other Party, nor will such Party hold itself out to third parties contrary to the foregoing.

 

15.03 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held illegal or otherwise unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the entire Agreement shall not fail on account thereof, and the balance of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. The Parties agree to replace the legally invalid provision, if possible, by an effective provision whose economic effect is as similar as possible to the original provision, and the Parties agree that this new provision will be deemed to have been agreed upon from the time when the original provision became invalid.

 

15.04 Cumulative Remedies. No remedy made available hereunder is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy will be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute, or otherwise.

 

15.05 Force Majeure. Neither Party will be deemed in breach of its obligations hereunder if performance thereof is delayed or becomes impossible or impractical by reason of acts of God, epidemic, failure of public transportation, actions, directives or recommendations by governmental authority (whether valid or invalid), fires, terrorist acts, explosions, riots, floods, earthquakes, windstorms or other natural disasters, wars, embargo, sabotage, or labor strikes, or other similar causes or events beyond on a Party’s reasonable control (such cause or event, a “Force Majeure Event”); provided, however, that such Party notifies the other Party as soon as is reasonably practicable after discovery of such Force Majeure Event and uses its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the effects of such Force Majeure Event and to resume performance as soon as practicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that the effect of the current COVID-19 pandemic is unpredictable and may impair a Party’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder but the Parties agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy their respective obligations hereunder to the best of their respective abilities during the COVID-19 pandemic and the Parties will not use the COVID- 19 pandemic to circumvent the spirit and purpose of this Agreement.

 

 

15.06 Assignment. Neither Party will assign this Agreement, nor any of the rights or obligations granted to it pursuant to this Agreement, in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the other Party provided however that Bruush shall have the right to assign this Agreement together with its obligations hereunder solely to any affiliate of Bruush, provided that such affiliate assumes all Bruush’s obligations in writing and Bruush remains secondarily liable. Any purported assignment in violation of the foregoing will be deemed null and void without force or effect. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

15.07 Waiver. If either Party waives any breach or default by the other Party, such waiver will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. If a Party resorts to any remedy or remedies, such resort will not limit that Party’s right to resort to any and all other legal and equitable remedies that are available to that Party. A Party’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any of its rights or remedies will not constitute a waiver of such Party’s other rights or any of such other Party’s obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, Bruush shall not be under any obligation to actually use or avail of any of the benefits or deliverables that are or may be provided by Furnishing Company or Talent to Bruush hereunder or to otherwise exercise any of the rights granted to Bruush or Bruush Party hereunder.

 

15.08 Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the SAG-AFTRA Agreement and Exhibit A-1(which includes the exhibits attached hereto which are hereby incorporated by reference) contains the entire understanding and complete agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all understandings and agreements previously reached between the Parties, are superseded by this Agreement. No amendment or modification of this Agreement will be valid or binding upon the Parties unless made in writing and executed by an authorized representative of each Party.

 

15.09 Examples; Headings. Whenever examples are used in this Agreement with the words “including,” “for example,” “e.g.,” “such as,” “etc.” or any derivation thereof, such examples are intended to be illustrative and not in limitation thereof. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference only and will not affect the meaning of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

15.10 Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement and any amendments thereto will be governed by, and its terms and conditions construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada without giving effect to the conflict of law rules, and the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for resolution of all disputes will be the Province of British Columbia, Canada.

 

15.11 Joint Drafting. In the event of any legal proceeding brought by any Party hereto to enforce or interpret this Agreement or any of the terms contained herein, both Parties shall be deemed to have jointly drafted this Agreement, and neither Party shall enjoy the benefit of any evidentiary presumptions based upon the identity of the drafter hereof.

 

15.12 Counterparts; Electronic Copies. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will be deemed an original, and such counterparts together will constitute one and the same instrument. Each Party will receive a duplicate original of the counterpart copy or copies executed by it. For purposes hereof, a PDF copy of this Agreement or signature transmitted by e-mail or other comparable electronic means, including the signature pages hereto, will be deemed to be an original.
