   e) Other Benefits. The Consultant has no claim against the Company under this Agreement or otherwise for vacation pay, sick leave, retirement benefits, social security, worker’s compensation, health or disability benefits, unemployment insurance benefits, or employee benefits of any kind.
8. NATURE OF RELATIONSHIP; INVENTIONS.
9. a) Independent Contractor Status.
   i) The relationship of the parties under this Agreement is one of independent contractors, and no joint venture, partnership, agency, employer-employee, or similar relationship is created in or by this Agreement. Neither party may assume or create obligations on the other party’s behalf, and neither party may take any action that creates the appearance of such authority.
   
   ii) The Consultant has the sole right to control and direct the means, details, manner, and method by which the Services will be performed, and the right to perform the Services at any time, place, or location. The Consultant or the Consultant’s staff shall perform the Services, and the Company is not required to hire, supervise, or pay any assistants to help the Consultant perform those Services. The Consultant shall provide all appropriate insurance coverages for its staff.
10. b) Company Inventions.The Consultant has no right or interest in any work or work product resulting from the Services the Consultant performs for the Company, or any of the documents, reports, or other materials the Consultant creates in connection with those Services (collectively, the “Company Inventions”), and has no right to or interest in any copyright to such Company Inventions. The Company Inventions have been specially commissioned or ordered by the Company as “works made-for-hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act, and the Company is therefore the author and the owner of all copyrights in any and all Company Inventions. TPM will provide Company all reasonable services and execute all necessary documentation as requested by Company to perfect these rights. Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall prohibit TPM from providing the same or similar services to other persons or entities subject to confidentiality provisions contained in this Agreement.

    d) Assignment of Company Inventions. If the Company Inventions or any parts of those are deemed not to have been works made-for-hire, the Consultant hereby assigns to the Company all interest the Consultant may have in the Company Inventions, including all copyrights, publishing rights, rights to use, reproduce, and otherwise exploit the Company Inventions in all formats or media and all channels, whether now known or created in the future.
11. USE OF TRADEMARKS.

The Consultant may use, reproduce, and distribute the Company’s service marks, trademarks, and trade names (if any) (collectively, the “Company Marks”) in connection with the performance of the Services. Any goodwill received from this use will accrue to the Company, which will remain the sole owner of the Company Marks. The Consultant may not engage in activities or commit acts, directly or indirectly, that may contest, dispute, or otherwise impair the Company’s interest in the Company Marks. The Consultant may not cause diminishment of value of the Company Marks through any act or representation. The Consultant may not apply for, acquire, or claim any interest in any Company Marks, or others that may be confusingly similar to any of them, through advertising or otherwise. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, the Consultant will have no further right to use the Company Marks, unless the Company provides written approval for each such use except for use in marketing of Consultant’s services to others.

6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
7. a) Confidentiality.During the Term, the Consultant may have access to or receive certain information of or about the Company that the Company designates as confidential (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information includes information relating to the Company or its current or proposed business, financial statements, budgets and projections, customer identifying information, potential and intended customers, employers, products, computer programs, specifications, manuals, software, analyses, strategies, marketing plans, business plans, and other confidential information, provided orally, in writing, by drawings, or by any other media. The Consultant and all of its employees will treat the Confidential Information as confidential and will not disclose it to any third party or use it for any purpose but to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement. In addition, the Consultant and all its employees shall use due care and diligence to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of such Confidential Information.
   
   b) Exceptions.The obligations and restrictions in Subsection (a) do not apply to that part of the Confidential Information that:
8. i) was or becomes publicly available, other than as a result of a disclosure by the Consultant in violation of this Agreement;
9. ii) was or becomes available to the Consultant on a nonconfidential basis before its disclosure to the Consultant by the Company, but only if:

11. the Consultant provides the Company with written notice of its prior possession either (I) before the effective date of this Agreement or (II) if the Consultant later becomes aware (through disclosure to the Consultant) of any aspect of the Confidential Information as to which the Consultant had prior possession, promptly upon Consultant becoming aware of possession of such information;

iii) is requested or legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil or criminal investigative demand, or similar legal processes), or is required to be disclosed in response to a valid order by a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise required by law. However, the Consultant shall:

1. provide the Company with prompt notice of any such requests or requirements before making a disclosure so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy; and
2. provide reasonable assistance to the Company in obtaining any such protective order all at Company’s sole cost and expense. If a protective order or other remedy is not obtained or the Company grants a waiver under this Agreement, the Consultant may furnish that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information that, in the written opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company, the Consultant is legally compelled or otherwise required to disclose. However, the Consultant shall make reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any part of the Confidential Information disclosed in this way; or

4. 
   c) Obligation to Maintain Confidentiality.At all times during his work with the Company, the Consultant shall hold in strictest confidence, and not use, except for the benefit of the Company, or to disclose to any person, firm, or entity without the prior written authorization of the Company, any of the Company’s Confidential Information.
   
   d) Remedy.Money damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section by the Consultant and, in addition to all other remedies, the Company may seek (and may be entitled to) as a result of such breach, specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy.
5. OTHER ACTIVITIES.

During the Term, the Consultant is free to engage in other independent contracting activities, except that the Consultant may not accept work, enter into contracts, or accept obligations inconsistent or incompatible with the Consultant’s obligations or the scope of Services to be rendered for the Company under this Agreement.

Within 30 days of the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, the Consultant shall return to the Company all Company products, samples, models, property, and documents relating to the Company’s business including reports, abstracts, lists, correspondence, information, computer files, computer disks, and other materials and copies of those materials obtained by the Consultant during and in connection with his work with the Company. All files, records, documents, blueprints, specifications, information, letters, notes, media lists, original artwork or creative work, notebooks, and similar items relating to the Company’s business, whether prepared by the Consultant or by others, remain the Company’s exclusive property.

However, if a Force Majeure Event occurs, the affected party shall, as soon as practicable:

a) notify the other party of the Force Majeure Event and its impact on performance under this Agreement; and

b) use reasonable efforts to resolve any issues resulting from the Force Majeure Event and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

11. GOVERNING LAW.

This Agreement shall be governed and construed by the internal laws of the State of New Jersey, without giving effect to conflict of law principles.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT

I hereby agree to the terms of engagement dated  as signed by this quote, of The Profit Mama as set out above in this letter of engagement.

I, confirm that I understand and agree to the terms of engagement.

NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

           This Agreement, made and entered into as of the “Effective Date” (date signed by both parties), by and between The Profit Mama (“TPM”) and the individual listed below who is attending or participating in a The Profit Mama Program (“Attendee”). In consideration of the mutual covenants and promises stated herein, TPM and Attendee agree as follows:

1. Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” or “CI” means all non-public information relating to the business information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), that is designated as confidential, such as TPM Program Materials, or that, given the nature of the information or the circumstances surrounding its disclosure, reasonably should be considered as confidential, such as non-public financial and related information about business as well as past and present TPM clients that are provided or disclosed during TPM Programs. 
2. CI excludes information that (i) is or becomes publicly available without breach of this Agreement, (ii) can be shown by documentation to have been known to Receiving Party prior to receipt or access from Disclosing Party, (iii) is disclosed to a party from any third party who did not acquire or disclose such information by a wrongful act, or (iv) can be shown by documentation to have been developed by Receiving Party independently and without use of or reference to Disclosing Party’s CI.
3. Use of Confidential Information. The parties may use CI only in relation to their relationship in TPM Programs and counseling. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Receiving Party will not disclose CI to anyone without the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent.  Receiving Party will take all reasonable actions to avoid disclosure or unauthorized use of Disclosing Party’s CI, including, at a minimum, those measures it takes to protect its own similar confidential information.  
4. The Receiving Party will restrict possession, knowledge and use of Disclosing Party’s CI to its employees and subcontractors who (i) has a need to know the Disclosing Party’s CI, and (ii) is legally obligated to protect the Disclosing Party’s CI to the same or greater degree as required under this Agreement and ensure that its employees and subcontractors comply with this Agreement.
5. Disclosures to Government Entities. Receiving Party may disclose Disclosing Party’s CI as required to comply with orders of governmental entities with jurisdiction over it, if the Receiving Party (i) gives the Disclosing Party prior written notice to allow Disclosing Party to seek a protective order or other remedy (except to the extent that compliance would cause violation of an order of the governmental entity or other legal requirement), (ii) discloses only such information as is required by the governmental entity, and (iii) uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment for any Disclosing Party’s CI so disclosed.
6. Ownership of Confidential Information. All CI will remain Disclosing Party’s property. Disclosure of CI will not establish an express or implied grant to Receiving Party of any rights to Disclosing Party’s patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks or other intellectual property rights.  Receiving Party will not use any trade name, trademark, logo or any other proprietary rights of Disclosing Party’s in any manner without written authorization of such use by Disclosing Party.
7. Notice of Unauthorized Use. In the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure of CI which is not permitted by this Agreement, Receiving Party will notify Disclosing Party immediately.  Receiving Party will cooperate with Disclosing Party in every reasonable way to help regain possession of such CI and prevent its further unauthorized use and disclosure. Receiving Party will be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by its Representatives and affiliates.
8. Return of Confidential Information. Receiving Party will return or destroy all TPM Program Materials and other tangible materials including the CI (in any form) immediately following Disclosing Party’s written request. 
9. Injunctive Relief. Receiving Party acknowledges that a breach of its obligations under this Agreement could cause harm to Disclosing Party as to which monetary damages may be difficult to verify or may be an incomplete remedy. Receiving Party agrees that Disclosing Party will have the right, in addition to its other rights and remedies, to seek injunctive relief for any violation of this Agreement. 
10. Scope; Termination. The parties agree this Agreement covers CI received prior to and following the date hereof.  This Agreement is effective as of the date CI is first received by a party and will continue for 3 years, after which it automatically renews unless either party terminates this Agreement by providing at least 90 days prior written notice to the other party, provided, that all obligations with respect to CI will survive for 5 years following termination of this Agreement, and Sections 6, 9, 10, and 11 will survive indefinitely. Confidentiality obligations of this Agreement will continue to apply to the CI as long as the information continues to be a trade secret, does not otherwise fall within an exclusion described in Section 2. 
11. This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties relating to the matters discussed herein and may be amended or waived only with the mutual written agreement of the parties.  Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. Any assignment without such consent shall be void and is a material breach thereof. If a provision of this Agreement is held invalid under applicable law, the invalidity will not affect any other provision of this Agreement that can be given effect.  This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without reference to its choice of law rules.  Exclusive jurisdiction over and venue of any suit arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be in the state and federal courts in Morris County, New Jersey, and each of the parties consents to the personal jurisdiction of, and venue in, those courts.

In witness whereof, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized representatives.
