edu License

This License Agreement (“License”) is made effective as of the date of licensing of Lean Six Sigma Courseware from the Lean Sigma Corporation. In this License Agreement, the party who is granting the right to use the licensed property will be referred to as “Lean Sigma Corporation” and the party who is receiving the right to use the licensed property will be referred to as the “edu Licensee”.
The parties agree as follows:

1. GRANT OF LICENSE: The Lean Sigma Corporation owns Lean Six Sigma Training Materials (“Courseware”). In accordance with this License, Lean Sigma Corporation grants the edu Licensee a limited non-exclusive license to use the Courseware as its own Lean Six Sigma training material. At no time may the edu Licensee assign or transfer licensing rights. The Lean Sigma Corporation retains title and ownership of the Courseware. As a required component of this License the edu Licensee agrees to establish two (2) links from the edu Licensees .edu website to the Lean Sigma Corporation website and retain these links for the duration of the active license agreement.

2. DISTRIBUTION & RESALE RESTRICTIONS: This License grants the edu Licensee permission to distribute printed copies of the courseware. Distribution by the edu Licensee of the courseware in electronic format (including but not limited to ppt, pptx, doc, docx, txt, pdt, etc) to any person or entity not employed by the edu Licensee is strictly prohibited. These distribution and resale restrictions may only be altered upon written permission from Lean Sigma Corporation.

3. MODIFICATIONS: The Courseware may be modified or changed to meet the edu Licensee’s specific training and branding needs. The edu Licensee may not remove any Lean Sigma Corporation copyright marks. The edu Licensee agrees that a modification to our Courseware does not alter the status of the Courseware as Lean Sigma Corporation property.

4. WARRANTIES: Neither party makes any warranties with respect to the use, sale or transfer of the Courseware by the other party or by any third party, and the edu Licensee accepts the product “AS IS.” In no event will Lean Sigma Corporation be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages, that are in any way related to the Courseware.

5. TRANSFER OF RIGHTS: This License shall be binding on any successors of the parties. Neither party shall have the right to assign its interests in this Agreement to any other party, unless the prior written consent of the other party is obtained.

6. ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This License contains the entire agreement of the parties and there are no other promises or conditions in any other agreement whether oral or written. This Agreement supersedes any prior written, oral or implied agreements between the parties.

7. SEVERABILITY: If any provision of this license shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable. If a court finds that any provision of this license is invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting such provision it would become valid or enforceable, then such provision shall be deemed to be written, construed, and enforced as so limited.

8. WAIVER OF CONTRACTUAL RIGHT: The failure of Lean Sigma Corporation to enforce any provision of this License shall not be construed as a waiver or limitation of Lean Sigma Corporation’s right to subsequently enforce and compel strict compliance with every provision of this Agreement.

9. CLIENT DISCLOSURE: The edu Licensee agrees that the Lean Sigma Corporation may publicly disclose that the edu Licensee is a client of the Lean Sigma Corporation and consumer of its products. This disclosure may include the use of the edu Licensee’s logo on Lean Sigma Corporation’s website.

10. AUDIT RIGHTS: Upon termination of monthly license payments, the edu Licensee agrees that the Lean Sigma Corporation may at its own expense conduct audits necessary to confirm that the edu Licensee is no longer using Lean Sigma Corporation courseware. The edu Licensee also agrees to support and enable these audits up to a period of 5 years after termination of license payments.

11. APPLICABLE LAW: This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina.
