Contractual Agreement

This Marketing Agreement (this "Agreement"), dated as of signature date (the "Effective Date"), is between Elevate Group LLC dba Affordable Intelligent Marketing, ("AIM") located at 7409 4th Street, Stevens Point, Wisconsin 54482 and the above named legal entity, ("Client") located at the above listed address. AIM and "Client" are sometimes individually referred to as "Party" and collectively referred to as the "Parties."

WHEREAS, AIM and Client desire to establish a non-exclusive strategic marketing agreement whereby Elevate Group LLC dba Affordable Intelligent Marketing will promote Client's products services to its customers. This Agreement may be modified from time to time in the form of a written instrument signed by both Parties (an "Amendment"). The terms of any Amendment executed during this Agreement will be subject to the terms of this Agreement unless otherwise stipulated in the Amendment.

Scope of Activities The Parties will undertake the activities as agreed in the Marketing Services form or as communicated in writing.. The Parties acknowledge that their respective obligations to undertake the activities in the Marketing Services form or as communicated in writing serve as good and valuable consideration for this Agreement.

Reporting Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month during the Term, Elevate Group LLC dba Affordable Intelligent Marketing will provide Client with (or provide access to) a monthly report of data that will let the other Party determine the value (traffic, completed sales, revenues, etc.) derived from individual activities as described in this Agreement.

Licenses Client grants to AIM a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use Client's trade names, trademarks, logos and service marks (collectively Marks) in connection with the performance of this Agreement. AIM shall not use any of Client's Marks for any purpose without first obtaining the prior written advance consent of Client. AIM will not alter or permit alteration of, or remove or modify or permit removal or modification of, any of Client's, or other identifying marks placed by Client or its agents on the products or associated documentation or literature, without Client's prior written approval. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon AIM any right, title or interest in any of the Marks or goodwill of Client. AIM acknowledges that Client's Marks and any related goodwill are the sole and exclusive property of Client, and AIM agrees not to (or cause a third party to) contest the rights of Client in Client's or to use any confusingly similar marks, works or symbols. At no time during or after the term of this Agreement shall AIM challenge or assist others to challenge Client's Marks or the registration thereof or attempt to register any trademarks, marks or trade names that are in any way confusingly similar to Client's Marks.

The term of this Agreement shall be 3 months from the Effective Date, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. The Launch Date shall be the date when Client makes the initial startup payment. Thereafter, the term will automatically renew for successive three (3) month terms without notice.

a. Termination for Cause. If either Party materially defaults in the performance of any provision of this Agreement, and such default is not cured within 30 days after the non-defaulting Party gives the defaulting Party written notice of such default, then the non-defaulting Party shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement immediately upon written notice of termination to the defaulting Party.

b. Termination for Convenience. Either Party may terminate this Agreement for any reason at any time after the initial Term with 30 days prior written notice without further obligation of either Party except for any outstanding payment obligations hereunder.

c. Effect of Termination. Termination shall not relieve either Party of any obligations incurred prior to the termination. Upon termination, AIM agrees to (i) cease all promotions of Client's services; (ii) cease all use of Client's technology and Marks; and (iii) cease making Client's services available in or through a website or otherwise, and upon request, to promptly destroy or return all copies (electronic or written) of the content, technology, and any other confidential or proprietary information in AIM's possession or control. Without limiting the foregoing in any way, the Parties agree that following termination, each Party may continue to make their products/services available directly to users subscribing to the product/service prior to termination, without any liability or obligation to the other Party.

a. AIM Duty to Indemnify.

AIM will indemnify, defend, and hold Client and its directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from any and all costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) losses, damages, or liabilities incurred insofar as such costs, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities are based on a claim that the AIM's technology or the AIM's Marks infringes any intellectual property rights of a third party.

b. Client Duty to Indemnify.

Client will indemnify, defend, and hold AIM and its directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from any and all costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) losses, damages, or liabilities incurred insofar as such costs, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities are based on a claim that the Client's technology or the Client's Marks infringes any intellectual property rights of a third party.

c. Indemnification Procedures. The indemnified Party shall provide the indemnifying Party with prompt written notice of any such claim. The indemnifying Party shall have sole control and authority with respect to the defense and settlement of any such claim. The indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying Party, at the indemnifying Party's sole cost and expenses, in the defense of any such claim.

The indemnified Party may participate in the defense of any claim through its own counsel, and at its own expense.

Confidentiality a. Protection of Information.

The parties may provide each other with confidential information and trade secrets, including without limitation, information on their respective organization, business, finances, personnel, services, systems, pricing structure, proprietary products and processes, transactions and/or business relations (collectively, the "Information"). The term "Information" shall not include (i) information generally available to the public through no fault of the other Party, (ii) information which the other Party already had knowledge of, or (iii) information which has become part of the public domain through no fault of a Party. Each Party agrees to retain in confidence at all times and to require its employees, consultants, professional representatives and agents to retain in confidence all information disclosed by the other Party. Each Party shall only use the other's information solely for the purpose of performing obligations under this Agreement, and only disclose the Confidential Information on a need-to-know basis, provided that, such party shall be liable for the acts of any third party who obtains the Confidential Information from such party. Each party shall take all necessary precautions in handling the Confidential Information of the other party and limit disclosures on a strict need-to-know basis. Further, the receiving Party may disclose information to the extent ordered to be disclosed by subpoena, other legal process or requirement of law, after first giving the disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to contest such disclosure requirement.

b. Injunctive Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any use or disclosure of Confidential Information by the Party in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement may cause another Party harm which will not be compensable by monetary damages alone and, accordingly, such other Party will, in addition to other available legal or equitable remedies, be entitled to seen an immediate injunction restraining the disclosing Party from committing or continuing to commit a breach. A Party may avail itself of injunctive relief in addition and without prejudice to any other remedies available to it.

c. Survival. This Section 8 will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

If performance of this Agreement or any obligation under this Agreement is prevented, restricted, or interfered with by causes beyond either party's reasonable control ("Force Majeure"), and if the party unable to carry out its obligations gives the other party prompt written notice of such event, then the obligations of the party invoking this provision shall be suspended to the extent necessary by such event.

f. Amendments and Severability.

No amendment or modification of this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights, will be effective unless assented to in writing by the party to be charged, and the waiver of any breach or default will not constitute a waiver of any other right hereunder or any subsequent breach or default.

Provided further, that the Party to be sold or acquired in accordance with the previous sentence must provide written notice to the other Party of any such sale or acquisition within forty-five (45) calendar days of the closing. Any attempt to assign this Agreement other than in accordance with this provision shall be null and void.
