Common use of Our Website Clause in Contracts

Our Website. We or one or more of our designees may establish a website or series of websites for the System to advertise, market and promote The Original Soupman businesses and the products and services they offer, the Unit Franchise and/or master franchise opportunity, and/or for any other purposes that we determine are appropriate for The Original Soupman businesses (collectively, the “System Website”). If we include information about your Franchised Business on the System Website, you agree to give us the information and materials that we periodically request concerning the Franchised Business and otherwise participate in the System Website in the manner that we periodically specify. By posting or submitting to us information or materials for the System Website, you are representing to us that the information and materials are accurate and not misleading and do not infringe upon any third party’s rights. We shall own all intellectual property and other rights in the System Website and all information it contains, including the domain name or uniform resource locator (“URL”) for the System Website, the log of “hits” by visitors, and any personal or business data that visitors (including you and your personnel) supply. We may implement and periodically modify System standards relating to the System Website and, at our option, may discontinue the System Website, or any services offered through the System Website, at any time. All advertising, marketing and promotional materials that you develop for your Franchised Business must contain notices of the URL of the System Website in the manner that we periodically designate. You may not develop, maintain or authorize any other website, other online presence or other electronic medium that mentions or describes the Franchised Business, the System or displays any of the Marks without our prior approval. We do not restrict the use of internet or web page advertising within or outside of your Master Territory, but the advertising content must be approved by us before it is used. Nothing in the Franchise Agreement shall limit our right to maintain websites other than the System Website or to offer and sell products and services under the Marks from the System Website, another website or otherwise over the Internet without payment or obligation of any kind to you. You are strictly prohibited from establishing your own website related to the Proprietary Marks or our System without our prior written consent, which we do not have to provide. You are also prohibited from promoting your Franchised Business on social and networking websites, including Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace Twitter and/or other social media sites or platforms, without our prior written consent. We will control all social media initiatives. You must comply with our System standards regarding the use of social media in the operation of your Franchised Business, including prohibitions on your and your employees posting or blogging comments about the Franchised Business or the System, other than on a website established or authorized by us (“social media” includes personal blogs, common social networks like Facebook and MySpace, professional networks like LinkedIn, live-blogging tools like Twitter, virtual worlds, file, audio and video-sharing sites, and other similar social networking or media sites or tools). We will provide access to branded social media pages/handles/assets, and you must update these regularly. We reserve the right to conduct collective/national campaigns via local social media on your behalf. We alone will be, and at all times will remain, the sole owner of the copyrights to all material which appears on any System Website we establish and maintain, including any and all material you may furnish to us as provided above.
