(“NPM”) grants to the church or other ministry organization (the “Organization”) which purchased the “Series Starter Kit” a limited license to use NPM’s proprietary Content and Trademarks (as defined below) strictly as set forth in this agreement (the “Agreement”) to facilitate the Organization’s adaptation of one or more NPM messages (the “NPM Series”) into the Organization’s own messages or series of messages (the “Organization Messages”) to be delivered to its membership and/or attendees.

2. RIGHTS INCLUDED. Depending on the Series Starter Kit licensed, the Series Starter Kit may include one or more message outlines, bulletin templates, video content, audio content, graphic designs, images, and/or other copyrighted content (collectively, “Content”) and trademarks, logos and brands (collectively, “Trademarks’) related to NPM’s Series. This license does not permit any use of other NPM trademarks, logos, brands or copyrighted content other than that included in the Series Starter Kit which is strictly related to the NPM Series.

No more than 100 words may be quoted directly from the NPM Series without the prior written permission of NPM, and personal examples in the NPM Series must be replaced with appropriate Organization examples.

All use of the Trademarks inures to the benefit of NPM. The Organization agrees not to alter the Trademarks or the Content without prior written approval from NPM, provided, however, that the Organization may adapt, reorganize, and otherwise edit the outline and content of the Organization Messages to make them their own while maintaining theological and Biblical consistency with the Content of the NPM Series. The Organization agrees to maintain a high level of integrity, quality, and Biblical consistency in the Organization Messages. The Organization acknowledges that representatives of NPM may, on reasonable notice, inspect any use of the Content or Trademarks to confirm conformance with these standards.

4. NO SUBLICENSE OR ASSIGNMENT. The license granted by this Agreement does not permit the Organization to license or share the Trademarks or the Content to or with, or to assign this Agreement to, any other person or organization without the prior written approval of NPM. Any attempted sublicense or assignment without such approval is null and void and constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.

5. TERRITORY/TERM. The “Territory” is the United States of America. The “Term” is two years from the date of purchase.

6. VALID RIGHTS/NOTICE OF INFRINGMENT. The Organization acknowledges that the Trademarks are valid and valuable trademarks exclusively owned by NPM and the copyrightable components of the Content are copyrighted works exclusively owned by NPM and/or its licensors.

The Organization represents that it carries general liability insurance (including coverage for the indemnification obligation in this Agreement), that it will add NPM as an additional insured under said policy, and that it will provide NPM with a certificate of insurance indicating same promptly upon NPM’s request.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NPM’s maximum liability to the Organization under this Agreement will be the refund of the amount paid by the Organization for the Series Starter Kit.

10. RELATIONSHIP. This Agreement does not create any affiliate, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between NPM and the Organization, and the Organization agrees not to imply that any such relationship exists.

11. TERMINATION. NPM reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time with no refund in the event of the Organization’s breach of any term of this Agreement. Additionally, NPM reserves the right at any time to terminate the license to a specific Trademark or component of Content with a pro-rata refund to the Organization in the event NPM discovers that a Trademark or component of Content infringes upon the rights of any third party.

12. WAIVER. Failure by NPM to enforce any term of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of its right to enforce that or any other term of this Agreement or any other agreement that exist between the parties.
