  • Subject to the terms hereof, and provided that you have not breached the terms of this or any other agreement with Good Gear, Good Gear will defend, indemnify, and hold you harmless up to the applicable "Limit of Liability" set forth below. Such indemnification is solely limited to Customer’s direct damages arising from a third-party claim directly attributable to Good Gear’s breach of the express warranties and representations made in Part II hereof, together with associated expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees). Indemnification is conditioned upon you notifying Good Gear, in writing, of any such claim or threatened claim, no later than five (5) business days from the date you know or reasonably should have known of the claim or threatened claim. Such notification must include all details of the claim then known to you (e.g., the use of Content at issue, the name and contact information of the person and/or entity making the claim, copies of any correspondence received and/or sent in connection with the claim). The notification must be emailed to Good Gear at pr@transglobalcar.com, Attention: General Counsel, via certified mail, return receipt requested; or ii) overnight courier, recipient’s signature required. Good Gear shall have the right to assume the handling, settlement or defense of any claim or litigation to which this indemnification applies. You agree to cooperate with Good Gear in the defense of any such claim and shall have the right to participate in any litigation at your own expense. You agree that Good Gear is not liable for any legal fees and/or other costs incurred by you or on your behalf prior to Good Gear having a reasonable opportunity to analyze such claim’s validity.
  • Good Gear shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses arising as a result of modifications made to the Content or due to the context in which you use the Content.

  1. Standard Image Licenses shall be USD $10,000.

You further agree to indemnify Good Gear for all costs and expenses that Good Gear incurs in the event that you breach any of the terms of this or any other agreement with Good Gear.

PART IV - ADDITIONAL TERMS
  • Except when required by law, Good Gear shall be under no obligation to issue refunds under any circumstances. All fees are non-refundable.
  • The fees charged by Good Gear are exclusive of taxes, and all such taxes, direct or indirect, shall be in addition to any fees related to the products you are buying. If Good Gear is required to collect indirect and/or transactional taxes (such as sales tax, value-added tax, goods and services tax, et al) under the laws of your state or country of residence, you shall be liable for payment of any such indirect tax. Where Good Gear or you are required to collect or remit direct or indirect taxes, you may be required to self-assess said tax under the applicable laws of your country of residence.
  • "Non-transferable" as used herein means that except as specifically provided in this TOS, you may not sell, rent, load, give, sublicense, or otherwise transfer to anyone, Content or the right to use Content. You may however, make a one-time transfer of Content to a third party for the sole purpose of causing such third party to print and/or manufacture your goods incorporating Content subject to the terms and conditions herein. If you become aware that any social media website uses any Content in a manner that exceeds your license hereunder, you agree to remove all derivative works incorporating Content from such Social Media Site, and to promptly notify Good Gear of each such social media website's use. You agree to take all commercially reasonable steps to prevent third parties from duplicating any Content.
  • Upon notice from Good Gear or if you learn that any Content is subject to a threatened or actual claim of infringement, violation of another right, or any other claim for which Good Gear may be liable, or if Good Gear removes any Content due to perceived business risk as determined in Good Gear's reasonable discretion and gives you notice of such removal, you will remove the Content from your computer systems and storage devices (electronic or physical) and, if possible, cease any future use of the removed Content at your own expense. Good Gear shall provide you with comparable Content (which comparability will be determined by Good Gear in its reasonable commercial judgment) free of charge, but subject to the terms and conditions of this TOS.
  • If you use any Content as part of work product created for or delivered to a client or customer, you will disclose the identities of such clients or customers to Good Gear, upon Good Gear’s reasonable request.
  • Arbitration.
  1. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this TOS, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by binding individual (not class) arbitration administered under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association or of the International Centre for Dispute Resolution in effect on the date of the commencement of arbitration, rather than in court, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets. The place of arbitration shall be the state and county of New York. The language of the arbitration shall be English. There shall be one arbitrator to be mutually agreed by the parties. Each party shall bear its own costs in the arbitration. Both parties agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack) (iii) any claim arising solely from Customer’s alleged failure to pay fees due to Good Gear. This arbitration provision will survive termination of this TOS.
  2. YOU AND Good Gear AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both you and Good Gear agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. You and Good Gear acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable disputes under this TOS.
  3. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of the limitations in this Part V, Section 7 as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.
  • Neither party may assign this agreement, without the prior written approval of the other party, except that Good Gear may assign this agreement to a subsidiary, an affiliated company within the Good Gear group, the entity that results from a merger or other corporate reorganization involving Good Gear, or an entity that acquires all or substantially all of Good Gear’s assets or capital stock.
  • This TOS shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning of the language hereof. This TOS is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the applicable jurisdiction set forth in Section 5.24, without respect to its conflict of laws principles.
  • If you are entering into this TOS on behalf of your employer or other entity, you warrant and represent that you have the full right and authority to do so. In the event that you do not have such authority, you agree that you will be personally liable to Good Gear for any breaches of the terms of this TOS. You hereby grant Good Gear a worldwide, non-exclusive, limited license to use your trademarks in Good Gear's promotional materials, including a public customer list. Good Gear's use of your trademarks shall at all times conform to your then-current trademark use policies as made available to Good Gear and shall at all times inure to your benefit. Good Gear further agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate any particular use of your trademark no later than thirty (30) days from the date of receipt by Good Gear of your email request to pr@transglobalcar.com.
  • The number of Content downloads available to you is determined by the product you purchase. For the purposes of this TOS, a day is defined as the twenty four (24) hour period beginning at the time your product is purchased. A month is defined as a calendar month beginning on and including the date that you purchase your product and ending on that date which is the earlier of (i) the same date as your purchase in the following month or (ii) the last day of the following month.
  • If any individual term of this TOS is found to be invalid or unenforceable by any legal or regulatory body of competent jurisdiction, such finding will be limited solely to such invalid or unenforceable part, without affecting the remaining parts of such individual term, or any other part of this TOS, so that this TOS shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.
  • You expressly agree that any feedback provided to you by Good Gear or its representatives regarding any questions you may have about this TOS or your use of Content licensed hereunder, is solely for the purpose of interpreting this TOS and is not legal advice. Good Gear cannot render legal advice to you and expressly disclaims any liability of any kind related to any feedback provided by Good Gear or its representatives.
  • It is expressly understood and agreed that this TOS is entered into solely for the mutual benefit of the parties herein and that no benefits, rights, duties, or obligations are intended by this TOS as to third parties.
  • In the event that you breach any of the terms of this or any other agreement with Good Gear, Good Gear shall have the right to terminate your account without further notice, in addition to Good Gear's other rights at law and/or equity. Good Gear shall be under no obligation to refund any fees paid by you in the event that your account is terminated by reason of a breach.
  • Except as expressly set forth in the applicable license and warranties sections herein, Good Gear grants no rights and makes no further warranties. Good Gear only has model or property releases where expressly indicated on the Good Gear website.
  • Good Gear's liability under any individual license purchased hereunder shall not exceed the "Limit of Liability" applicable to the license in effect at the time you know or should have known of the claim, and is without regard to the number of times the subject Content is licensed or used by you.
  • Except as specifically provided in Part IV hereof, in no event, will Good Gear's total aggregate liability to you or any third party claiming through you, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the Good Gear websites and/or Content contained thereon (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) exceed the monetary amount actually received by Good Gear from you for the applicable Content license.
  • Neither Good Gear nor any of its officers, employees, managers, members, shareholders, directors or suppliers shall be liable to you or to any other person or entity for any general, punitive, special, indirect, consequential or incidental damages, or lost profits or any other damages, costs or losses arising out of your use of the Content, Good Gear's breach of this agreement, or otherwise, unless expressly provided for herein, even if Good Gear has been advised of the possibility of such damages, costs or losses.
  • Except as expressly set forth in Part II, all Content is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to the implied warranties of non-infringement, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. Some Content may contain elements that require additional clearance if the Content is modified or used in a particular context. If you make such modification or use Content in such context, you are solely responsible for obtaining any additional clearances thereby required.
  • Good Gear does not warrant that the Content, Good Gear websites, or other materials will meet your requirements or that use will be uninterrupted or error free. The entire risk as to the quality, performance and use of the Content is solely with you.
  • In the event that you use fraudulent credit card information to open an account or otherwise engage in any criminal activity affecting Good Gear, Good Gear will promptly file a complaint with www.ic3.gov, the internet crime complaint center, a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center.
