BY CLICKING THE REQUIRED “I AGREE” BUTTON ON THIS PAGE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, THAT YOU UNDERSTAND IT AND ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AND THAT YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND LEGALLY BY IT AND ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
AUTHOR PLANET® WORK PRODUCT OWNERSHIP
You agree that the work products we provide you under the terms of this agreement shall be owned by JODY REIN INTERACTIVE, INC., doing business as AUTHOR PLANET®, known hereunder as AUTHOR PLANET®. Such work product includes “Specific Written Content,” defined as verbatim content explicitly provided to you for use in your Work, such as suggested rewrites, new structures and new text, and “General Advice,” defined as written instructions, interactive forms provided to guide you in your work. AUTHOR PLANET® hereby licenses to you you all rights throughout the universe to reprint all “Specific Written Content” as a part of your query, proposal, book or any promotional materials for said query, proposal or book (or yourself). AUTHOR PLANET® expressly retains all rights to any written instructions, advice comments and forms, and you do not have the right to publicly reprint such material for any purpose. For example, you do not have the right to post AUTHOR PLANET® written instructions on your blog. To further illustrate this point, in the following example letter–“Your writing is excellent, but lacks a consistent narrative thru-line. We suggest your main character, Susan, tell Bob: “Bob, I just don’t love you anymore!” on page 17”– you have the right to reprint the line “Bob, I just don’t love you anymore!” however and wherever you please. You do not have the right to reprint: “Your writing is excellent, but lacks a consistent narrative thru-line.”
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting you from utilizing in any manner, knowledge and experience of a general nature acquired in the performances of Services by AUTHOR PLANET®.
AUTHOR PLANET® RIGHT TO REPRINT
You agree that AUTHOR PLANET®. may reprint portions of your written material in any manner, provided AUTHOR PLANET® protects your identity and neither discloses your identity, or reprints material that could be easily discovered as yours, and you agree you will not make any claim against AUTHOR PLANET®, or ask you for money or other consideration regarding the use of your work.
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Confidential Information includes all information identified by a disclosing party as proprietary and confidential, which Confidential Information shall remain the sole property of the disclosing party unless the ownership of such Confidential Information is otherwise expressly set forth in the Agreement. Items will not be considered Confidential Information if: (a) available to public other than by a breach of an agreement by the recipient; (b) rightfully received from a third party not in breach of any obligation of any confidentiality; (c) independently developed by one party without access to the Confidential Information of the other; or (d) rightly known to the recipient at the time of disclosure as verified by its written records.
Each party agrees that it shall not use for any purpose or disclose to any third party any Confidential Information of the other party without the express written consent of the other party. Each party agrees to safeguard the Confidential Information of the other party against use or disclosure other than as authorized by or pursuant to this Agreement through measures, and exercising a degree of care, which are at least as protective as those AUTHOR PLANET®, as the case may be, exercises in safeguarding the confidentiality of its own proprietary information, but no less than a reasonable degree of care under the circumstances. Each party shall permit access to the Confidential Information of the other party only to those individuals (a) who have entered into a written nondisclosure agreement with the other party on terms equally as restrictive as those set forth herein, and (b) who require access in performance of their duties to the other party in connection with the other partys rights under this Agreement.
Each party acknowledges that the wrongful use or disclosure of Confidential Information of the other party may result in irreparable harm for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. In the event of a breach by the other party or any of its officers, employees or agents of its or their obligations under this Section 5, the non-breaching party may immediately terminate this Agreement without liability to the other party, and may bring an appropriate legal action to enjoin such breach, and shall be entitled to recover from the breaching party reasonable legal fees and cost in addition to other appropriate relief.
WARRANTIES
AUTHOR PLANET® warrants that the Services to be provided under this Agreement shall be performed in a professional manner conforming to generally accepted industry standards and practices.

Any assignment in violation of these terms is void.
Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be conclusively resolved through binding arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorney fees, unless the arbitration award specifically provides otherwise.
All communications between the parties with respect to any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing.
The validity of this Agreement and the rights, obligations and relations of the parties hereunder shall be construed and determined under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado; provided, however, that if any provision of the Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be in violation of any applicable law or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall to such extent as it shall be determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under such law be deemed null and void, but this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force. After arbitration, as specified in Section 7.4, any suit to enforce any provision of this Agreement, or any right, remedy or other matter arising from the arbitration, will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Colorado. You agree and consent to the venue in and to the in person jurisdiction of the aforementioned courts.
This Agreement, all attached schedules and all other agreements referred to herein or to be delivered by the parties pursuant hereto, represents the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and merges all prior discussions between them and supersedes and replaces any and every other agreement or understanding which may have existed between the parties to the extent that any such agreement or understanding relates to providing Services provided.
