Digibug API License and Digibug Photo Commerce Agreement

This is the Digibug API License and Digibug Photo Commerce Agreement (the "Agreement") between Online Photo Products, Inc., a New York corporation with an office located at 6 Dubon Court, Farmingdale, NY 11735 ("Digibug"), and Licensee.

1. Recitals

Licensee is the developer and publisher of an online photo gallery software application or desktop photo application (collectively, the "Photo Solution").

Digibug is the operator and owner of a photo e-commerce solution providing photo prints, cards, books, calendars, gifts and other photo merchandise.

Licensee and Digibug hereby agree to enter into this Agreement to enable Licensee's Photo Solution to submit Photo Product Orders through the Digibug Photo Commerce System for fulfillment by mail order and retail photofinishers.

2. License Grant

The Digibug API, integration code, samples and examples are hereby licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License ("GPL"), Version 2 or later, as published by the Free Software Foundation and is licensed hereunder without warranty of merchantability or fitness for any purpose. Licensee is free to copy, modify and redistribute any software provided hereunder subject to the terms of the GPL.

3. Service Description

Digibug shall host and operate a Licensee-branded version of the Digibug Photo Commerce System ("the Service") required for End Users to order photo prints, cards, gifts and other merchandise from their images. Branding shall be under the control of Licensee subject to the technical capabilities of the Service. Digibug shall collect all revenues from End Users and shall pay Licensee the Licensee Share set forth in the Payment & Fees section below.

4. Digibug Responsibilities

Digibug shall provide Licensee with the Digibug API to enable Licensee to integrate the Photo Solution with the Service. Digibug shall perform the initial integration and Licensee shall be responsible for subsequent updates and maintenance of the integration. Digibug and Licensee shall jointly market and promote the Service and shall seek to maximize the revenues and gross profits of the Service. Digibug shall perform all first-level End User customer support for users of the Service.

5. Licensee Responsibilities

Licensee shall market and distribute the integration code between the Photo Solution and the Service as a standard feature of the Photo Solution.

6. Payments & Fees

Licensee shall receive a Licensee Share based on the gross margin of Products and shipping revenues passing through the Service according to the following schedule:

(a) Consumer Orders

"Consumer Orders" shall mean photo product orders where the pricing is set by Licensee.

"Sales Price" (SP) shall mean the actual product price paid by Consumer.

"Wholesale Price" (WP) shall mean the published Digibug Wholesale Price Sheet for photo product order fulfillment services as updated from time to time at Digibug's sole and exclusive discretion.

"Gross Profit" (GP) shall mean the Sales Price minus the Wholesale Price (GP = SP - WP)

"Commission Rate" (CR) shall mean the Digibug share of Gross Profit and under this agreement is set at 20% of Gross Profit

"Commission" shall equal Gross Profit multiplied by Commission Rate (GP * CR)

"Licensee Share" PS shall equal Gross Profit minus Commission (GP - C)

PS = GP - C = (SP - WP) - CR * (SP - WP)

Example (USD currency):

SP = $0.31
WP = $0.16
GP = SP - WP = $0.31 - $0.16 = $0.15
CR = 20%
C = $0.15 * 20% = $0.03
PS = $0.15 - $0.03 = $0.12

(b) Professional & Event Orders ("Sell Photos" functionality)

Digibug enables users of Licensee's Photo Solution to sell their own photos and earn a share of the profits. In such cases, the integration of the Photo Solution with the Service would allow the Photo Solution user (the "Photographer") to set their own prices and branding for the Service. The pricing, commission and payments model is identical to the Consumer Orders section above, except that the Photographer is paid 80% of the Gross Profit, not Licensee. The Licensee Share for these orders would be 25% of Digibug's Commission (e.g. 25% of Gross Profit times 15%), or 4.5% of Gross Profit. Example: on a $9.99 Pro Order with a Wholesale Price of $0.16, the Gross Profit is $9.83. The Digibug Commission on this order is $1.48 ($9.83 * 15%). The Licensee Share would be $0.37 ($1.48 * 25%).

Digibug will pay Licensee the Licensee Share on a monthly basis by the 30th day following the end of the calendar month of service. All payments will be made in U.S. Dollars by a check drawn on a U.S. financial institution, or through other payment methods as solely determined by Digibug. Digibug shall have the right to withhold payment until the amount due is $25.00 (USD) or greater. In addition, Digibug shall have the right to withhold taxes, duties, levies, or other amounts as required by national, regional or local governmental jurisdictions.

7. Branding & Trademarks

Licensee Grant to Digibug. Licensee hereby grants to Digibug, during the term of this Agreement, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to use such trademarks, trade names, logos or service marks of Licensee ("Licensee Marks") as may be appropriate to enable Digibug to feature, promote and display the Service pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. All usage of the Licensee Marks shall be subject to and in accordance with Licensee's prior written approval. Before displaying the Licensee Marks, Digibug shall provide to Licensee appropriate screen prints thereof for Licensee's examination and reasonable approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Digibug acknowledges that Licensee is the sole and exclusive owner of the Licensee Marks and the goodwill associated therewith. Digibug agrees (a) that any and all use of the Licensee Marks shall inure to the benefit of Licensee, (b) that Digibug shall not assert any claim of ownership to the Licensee Marks or otherwise interfere with Licensee's sole and exclusive rights thereto and (c) that Digibug shall not, during the term of this Agreement or after termination of this Agreement use, register or attempt to register with any agency or in any jurisdiction any of the Licensee Marks or any mark confusingly similar therewith.

Digibug and Licensee each agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any tangible property which embodies the Confidential Information of the other party or otherwise attempt to derive source code or other trade secrets from the other party.

Information will not be deemed Confidential Information hereunder if such information: (i) is known to the receiving party prior to receipt from the disclosing party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party; (ii) becomes known (independently of disclosure by the disclosing party) to the receiving party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party; (iii) becomes publicly known or otherwise publicly available, except through a breach of this Agreement by the receiving party; or (iv) is independently developed by the receiving party.
