At the expiration of said period, the User covenants and agrees to delete and/or destroy all of the Materials within his or her possession including for certainties any copies of said Materials whether in tangible or intangible form.

1.3          “Trade Secrets” are defined in this Agreement to mean with reference to the Company, the expression, tangible or otherwise, of unique ideas of specialized compilations of information or data, whether patentable or not, that are not generally known, that are useful or capable of use in a trade or business, or that have economic value as a result of not being known generally, and are embodied in know-how, show-how, drawings, specifications, sources of inputs, procedures, processes, methodologies and similar information, and reference to both the Materials and Trade Secrets is defined collectively as “Confidential Information”.

1.4          Unless the User first secures the written consent of the Company, the User agrees that it will hold the Confidential Information in strict confidence and will not disclose any of the Confidential Information to any person whatsoever, including but not limited to any individual, trust, partnership, corporation, association, society or incorporated or unincorporated organizations or entities.

2.            Ownership of Rights

2.1          “Intellectual Property Rights” are defined in this Agreement to include copyright (including, but not limited to, moral rights), copyright registrations and applications, renewals and extensions therefor, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights recognized by laws in Canada and applicable foreign and international laws, treaties and conventions. The User acknowledges and agrees that all Intellectual Property Rights embodied in the Materials are owned exclusively by the Company, and the User may not alter or remove any watermarks from the Materials or otherwise alter or remove any copyright. 

2.2          The User hereby unconditionally and irrevocably automatically assigns, conveys and otherwise transfers to the Company and its respective successors, assigns and licensees all right, title and interest worldwide in and to any Intellectual Property Rights developed or created by the User during or as a result of the User’s participation in the Programs.

The User acknowledges that those ideas, inventions, formulae, and discoveries shall be considered Intellectual Property Rights of the Company and dealt with in accordance with the foregoing Section 2.2. The User shall further execute and deliver all such instruments as the Company may require in order to establish and protect its Intellectual Property Rights.

2.4          The User hereby waives all moral rights under the Copyright Act (Canada) or any rights to similar effect in any country or at common law that the User may have with respect to the Works, whether or not conceived or developed during Programs hours or upon the business premises of the Company.

3.            No Representations or Warranties

3.1          The User acknowledges and agrees that no representation or warranty is made by the Company that the User’s participation in the Programs will result in the User attaining better results on any examinations taken. The User further agrees that the Company expressly disclaims all liability for representations or warranties, express or implied, contained in the Materials made available or that will be made available to the User during the enrollment in the Programs, or any information contained in the Materials made available to the User. Accordingly, all funds paid by the User are wholly non-refundable and deemed to be earned by the Company once paid.

3.2          The User agrees that neither the Company, nor any of its directors, officers, employees, advisors, or representatives will have any liability to the User, nor any liability for costs incurred or to be incurred by any of the foregoing resulting from the User’s enrollment in the Programs, use of the Confidential Information, or reliance on the Materials, or any other communications or material made or to be made available to the User, either now or in the future, in connection with the Company and the Programs. 

4.            Enforcement and Injunctive Relief

4.1          In the event of any breach of Section 1.1 of this Agreement, the User acknowledges that quantification of damages that would be suffered by the Company is difficult to determine and therefore the Company shall have the option to require the User to pay FIFTY-THOUSAND DOLLARS ($50,000.00) as liquidated damages and a genuine pre-estimate of damages deemed to be suffered by the Company as a result of such breach by the User without seeking other remedies, which option may be exercised by the Company upon the Company providing written notice to the User.

4.2          In the event of any breach of this Agreement by the User, the User acknowledges that such a breach will result in immediate and irreparable harm, and that money damages will not be a sufficient remedy for any breach, and that in addition to any other right of relief of the Company (including a claim for damages) the Company will be entitled to relief by way of a temporary or permanent injunction and to such other relief that a court of competent jurisdiction may deem just and proper.  The User agrees that both damages and injunctive relief shall be proper modes of relief and are not to be considered alternative remedies.
