Among other things, the Sponsor will clear all IP rights necessary for the use of the content contemplated in the agreement, including but not limited to all copyright and neighbouring rights, and hereby grants a free, non-exclusive and worldwide license to EPCA on all content provided by the Sponsor, for the duration of copyright and for use on EPCA’s communication channels such as website, in emails and in all social media, as well on all printed mediums and at EPCA’s events; the Sponsor will ensure that the authors of the content provided to EPCA have waived their right to be indicated as authors and do not oppose to editing of their content by EPCA, insofar as legally permitted and to the extent necessary.
The Sponsor will equally collect and provide all authorizations needed to use personal data processed in such material, insofar as necessary.
The Sponsor holds EPCA harmless against any recourse of third party claiming that the use of material or content provided by the Sponsor infringes third party’s rights.

Compliance must be ensured at all times during the duration of the sponsorship agreement, including any one-to-one meetings or events in which the sponsor may participate in the context of the Annual Meeting.

- in the organization and the conduct of the Annual Meeting.

Also, EPCA can never be held liable for the content of the speeches and opinions expressed by third parties, including the speakers at the Annual Meeting. The liability of EPCA in relation to this agreement is in any case limited to the amount paid by the Sponsor under this agreement.
8. EPCA is entitled to terminate the agreement without judicial intervention in case the Sponsor’s reputation and good standing would be under discussion and EPCA has reasonable reasons to believe that the use of the Sponsor’s trademark or logo, image or other elements could affect EPCA’s own reputation or the attractivity of EPCA’s in general and of its events. In such case, the amount to be paid by the Sponsor for the sponsorship will still be due.
9. Any party can terminate the agreement if the other party seriously breaches one of its obligations under this agreement, provided that breach is not remedied within a period of fourteen (14) days after date of sending of a registered letter to the party in breach (accompanied by an email to the address indicated in the heading of this agreement - or to EPCA's CEO johann.lenhart@epca.eu if the letter is addressed to EPCA), which contains a description of the breach and a reference to this provision. If the breach cannot be remedied, the agreement can be terminated immediately with a registered letter (accompanied by an email to the address indicated in the heading of this agreement - or to johann.lenhart@epca.eu if the letter is addressed to EPCA), without notice and without judicial intervention.
