AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants and
agreements provided for herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. BACKGROUND.
This Agreement is a binding legal agreement between the Supplier and Chef Vivant, the operator
of the online service at the Site and developer of the App(s). The Supplier hereby appoints Chef Vivant
as its agent for distribution of the Content created or otherwise owned by the Supplier in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Supplier shall make the Content available to Chef
Vivant for broad access by: (a) following the “Upload” procedures and policies identified on the Site, or
(b) delivering the Content to Chef Vivant pursuant to procedures mutually agreed to by the Parties. Each

conditions of this Agreement.
2. PROVISION OF CONTENT.
The Supplier shall provide Content to Chef Vivant using the upload procedures and policies of
the Site and/or such other procedures and policies as the Parties may mutually agree. Chef Vivant, in its
sole discretion, shall determine which of such Content is suitable for posting on the Site, accessible
through the App or other means of distribution, and which supplied Content will be considered “nonexclusive”
Content. Only the Content considered suitable by Chef Vivant will be considered accepted for
the purposes with which such Content can be used pursuant to the applicable provisions of this
Agreement. In addition to the terms of this Agreement, both Parties agree that the Content requirements
for any uploads are subject to the policies and procedures outlined throughout the Site. Any violation of
the rules stated in the Site by the Supplier in connection with any uploads will be considered to be a
breach of this Agreement.
3. GRANT OF AUTHORITY.
The Supplier hereby appoints Chef Vivant as the Supplier’s non-exclusive agent and distributor
to distribute the Content to third parties within the jurisdictions of Chef Vivant’s business. For all
Content, the Supplier shall designate such Content as “non-exclusive” (subject to acceptance as such by
Chef Vivant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), and Supplier grants Chef Vivant: (a) the nonexclusive
right to use, reproduce, distribute, redistribute, sublicense, publish, republish, download, post,
transmit, package, repackage, produce and sell printed or created by other technology copies of, or
publicly perform or display the Content: (i) through the Site; (ii) the App(s), or (iii) through other venues
owned or operated by Chef Vivant or its affiliates from time to time; and (b) the exclusive right to post,
reproduce, modify, display, make derivative works or otherwise use any Content for their own business
purposes relating to the promotion of the Site, the App(s), the Content and Chef Vivant’s distribution
programs, and expand the market for the sale or licensing of the Content (including, without limitation,
the use of the Content and the Supplier’s registered and unregistered trademarks for marketing, sales and
promotional efforts whether on the Site or through third parties). The Supplier agrees that Chef Vivant
shall have right to design marketing literature for the Content, at its own expense, and the Supplier agrees
to cooperate in that regard. No compensation shall be due to the Supplier for use of the Content for such
business purposes.
Chef Vivant hereby agrees that all rights, including title, trademark and copyright, in and to the
Content will be retained by the Supplier, and no title, trademark or copyright is transferred or granted in
any way to Chef Vivant or any third party except as provided in this Agreement and license agreements
which Chef Vivant is authorized to enter into on the Supplier’s behalf.
4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MATTERS.
The Supplier hereby acknowledges that Chef Vivant prohibits
and forbids the upload to the Site
or other delivery to Chef Vivant of any Content or other material that violates or infringes on any patent,
trademark, copyright, trade secret, right to privacy, right to publicity, or any other applicable law or
proprietary rights of any third party. Upon uploading or other delivery of the Content, the Supplier
confirms and warrants that he, she or it owns all proprietary rights, including title, trademark and
copyright, in and to the Content with full power to grant the rights contemplated to be provided in this
Agreement in such Content, and that, with respect to any exclusive Content, you are not making any of
such exclusive Content available to or through any other distributor, website or other marketing,
distribution, sale or licensing venue of any kind not specifically permitted herein or otherwise consented
to by Chef Vivant in writing. In addition, to the extent that any Content contains images of people or
property, the Supplier represents and warrants that he, she or it has obtained a valid and binding release
from all required parties to permit the use of such Content as contemplated in this Agreement.
The Supplier hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither Chef Vivant nor any of its directors,
officers, employees, partners, affiliates or agents shall be liable for any damages, whether direct, indirect,
consequential or incidental, arising out of the use of, or the inability to use any Content.
5. COMPENSATION.
Chef Vivant will not compensate the Supplier, in any manner for provided content.
6. PASSWORDS.
The Supplier hereby acknowledges and agrees that he, she or it will be responsible for each and
every access or use of the Site, if any, including any and all uploads or other actions, that occur in
conjunction with the Supplier’s member name and password, and that Chef Vivant is authorized to accept
any such member name and password as conclusive evidence that the Supplier wishes to upload Content
or perform other actions pursuant to this Agreement. Chef Vivant shall have no liability or responsibility
to monitor the provision of Content under the Supplier’s member name and password at the Site, if any.
7. SITE MANAGEMENT.
Chef Vivant has policies and processes which must be adhered to prior to the Content being
posted on the Site, the App(s) or otherwise being provided, however, that Chef Vivant does not and
cannot review all Content uploaded to the Site and is not responsible for the content, quality, or
consequences of the Supplier uploading such Content. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Chef Vivant
reserves the right to delete, move, refuse to accept or edit any communication or Content that it may
determine, in its sole discretion, violates or may violate this Agreement, the intellectual or proprietary
rights of others, any of its policies or is otherwise unacceptable in its discretion, and the Supplier hereby
agrees to forfeit any royalties payable in respect of such Content by Chef Vivant. Chef Vivant shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to correct any errors or omissions in any Content, as it may determine in
its sole discretion. The Supplier hereby acknowledges and agrees that any screening of Content
performed by Chef Vivant to determine acceptable Content is done as a courtesy only.
The Supplier hereby acknowledges that the Content he, she or it provides pursuant to this
Agreement that becomes Content of the Site may be distributed to members of the Site or owners of the
App(s) with the intention that they will adhere to the Terms and Conditions of the Site and/or App(s), as
applicable. Where Chef Vivant becomes aware of the breach of the Terms and Conditions of the Site by
an end-user of the Content, Chef Vivant shall take steps in accordance with its usual business practices to
request that the offending party refrain from its prohibited use of such Content. Chef Vivant will use
commercially reasonable efforts to further assist in the protection of the Supplier’s intellectual property
rights, at your request and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, given the prevalence of royalty-free
content in the electronic recipe business, Chef Vivant cannot take responsibility for the compliance by
purchasers and licensees of the Terms and Conditions of the Site. Accordingly, the Supplier hereby
acknowledges and agrees to the possibility of the Content being used in a manner that is not contemplated
in this Agreement and/or the Terms and Conditions of the Site and/or the App(s), and the Supplier agrees
that notwithstanding any rights he, she or it may have to pursue the licensees of such Content at law, Chef
Vivant shall have no liability to the Supplier or any person claiming through the Supplier for any breach
by a licensee of the terms of any agreement respecting the accepted Content.

Supplier obtains as a result of entering into this Agreement, the use of the Site and the provision of the
Content constitutes valuable, confidential, proprietary information of Chef Vivant and its licensors, and

prior written consent of Chef Vivant, use or disclose to any other person any such Confidential
Information, except as specifically authorized under this Agreement or required by law or a legal process.

Agreement. All documents and other tangible objects containing or representing Confidential
Information which have been disclosed to the Supplier, and all copies thereof that are in the possession of
the Supplier, shall be and remain the property of Chef Vivant and shall be promptly returned to Chef
Vivant upon termination of this Agreement or upon the written request of Chef Vivant.

Supplier. The Supplier hereby releases Chef Vivant from any and all claims the Supplier might have,
either directly or indirectly, arising out of or in connection with a determination by Chef Vivant to
proceed or not to proceed against any Infringer in any instance. The Parties hereby agree that any
monetary recovery received as a result of any legal or enforcement action taken against any such
Infringer, to the extent such monies are intended to compensate the parties for lost licensing fees or
statutory damages, shall, after deduction of all costs and expenses incurred in gaining such recovery
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorney and experts’ fees and costs) incurred by or on behalf of
the parties in connection with such action, be divided between the Supplier and Chef Vivant pursuant to
