IN NO EVENT SHALL ONEKEY® BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER ARISING FROM ANY BREACH OF THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ONEKEY® HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; LICENSEE’S SOLE REMEDIES AGAINST ONEKEY® HEREUNDER SHALL BE TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS AND DIRECT DAMAGES NOT IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNTS OF $100. ONEKEY® PROVIDES THE LICENSED MARKS ON AN “AS IS” BASIS AND DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXCEPT THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS.

- No Assignment. No party may assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under these Terms (each a “Transfer”) to any other party without the prior written consent of the other party. Any purported Transfer in contravention of this paragraph is null and void.
- Entire Agreement; Amendment. These Terms contains the full and complete understanding of the parties regarding the subject matter of these Terms and supersedes all prior representations and understandings, whether oral or written, relating to the same subject matter. OneKey® may amend these Terms by providing 30 days’ advance notice of the amendment to Licensee; if Licensee continues to use the Licensed Marks after the expiration of the 30-day notice period, Licensee will be deemed to have agreed to the terms as amended.
- Relationship of the Parties. The relationship of OneKey® to the Licensee is that of independent contractor. No party shall be deemed to be the agent, partner, joint venturer, franchisor or franchisee, or employee of OneKey® or have any authority to make any agreements or representations on the behalf of OneKey®. Each party shall be solely responsible for the payment of compensation, insurance, and taxes of its own employees.
- Severability. Each provision of these Terms is severable from the whole, and if one provision is declared invalid, the other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. In the event a court having jurisdiction over the parties holds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to replace the invalid or unenforceable provision, if possible, with a valid provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision. If any provision of Section 7 or 9 is held invalid or unenforceable, these Terms shall immediately terminate unless the parties agree to the contrary.
- Precedence. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the main body of these Terms and any Exhibit to these Terms, the terms of the body of the Agreement shall prevail.
Exhibit A – Licensed Mark Display Requirements
Licensee may use the Licensed Marks only on Licensee’s website, business cards, letterhead, signage, and other advertising (“Licensee Products”) and only in compliance with these Terms.
If at any time these Terms are terminated or suspended by OneKey®, Licensee will immediately and thenceforth eliminate the Licensed Marks as applicable from, and refrain from using the Licensed Marks on any Licensee Products.
It is vitally important to the preservation of the Licensed Marks that the public consistently recognizes the Licensed Marks as identifiers of OneKey® as a source of Licensed Marks. To assure that the Licensed Marks are not used inadvertently and improperly, Licensee may use the Licensed Marks only in a context in which they will be understood by the public to denote OneKey® as the source of the Licensed Marks.
The Licensee must use the Licensed Marks in the exact style and form as provided by OneKey®. Licensee shall not alter any of the Licensed Marks in any way during reproduction, except that Licensee may alter the size of a Licensed Mark, provided the aspect ratio remains the same and each element of the Licensed Mark remains legible.
Without limiting the generality of the previous paragraph, Licensee shall never make any of the following uses of the Licensed Marks:
• Redraw, round the corners, reshape, trace, tilt, intersect, photographically alter or otherwise distort the Licensed Marks.
• Use any of the Licensed Marks as part of a company or individual name, or as any part of a domain name, URL, or web address.
• Superimpose any of the Licensed Marks over any graphic pattern or design.
• Combine any of the Licensed Marks with any other symbol or device.
• Outline or frame any of the Licensed Marks.
Licensee may use the Licensed Marks for the sole purpose of indicating membership in OneKey® MLS. The Licensed Marks may not be used to connote a profession or title. Licensee may only use the Licensed Marks in connection with their real estate business.
Licensee will not use the Licensed Marks (a) in any manner that suggests OneKey®’s endorsement or recommendation of Licensee or Licensee Products or otherwise creates a false association with OneKey®; (b) on promotional merchandise (such as mugs, T-shirts, mouse pads or other merchandise) or in any way other than in connection with the Product; (c) in any modified or changed format or appearance; (d) on or in connection with anything that is unlawful or encourages unlawful conduct; or (e) in any other way which disparages the Licensed Marks or OneKey®.
Licensee may not use any of the Marks or any portion of them as part of any domain name or web site name of Licensee. Licensee may not use any of the Licensed Marks as a hypertext link, as such a use can suggest an endorsement or recommendation of the linked site by OneKey®. The only exception is to establish a link to OneKey®’s web site.
