CONTRACT OF PROVISION TO BUSINESSES

The present Contract dictates the conditions on the basis of which businesses will be able to access services through the website Maskins.com, or through other means of distribution, according to the present agreement.

Premises

• That this is a legal agreement between any registered "Business" user (hereafter, "Business") that may be developed whether:
  • there is the intention to purchase Maskins® materials as stock for commercial use;
  • there is the intention to upload images to the Website for commercial use;

  • for the brand or to realize any product, either for the Business's own activity and uploaded

    autonomously or requested from Maskins® s.n.c. as graphic marketing activity.

• That the Business, in the case of images uploaded using the Website's customization software, intends to confer its work (hereafter "Work") exclusively to Maskins® s.n.c. for the preparation, production and marketing of products printed on PVC, skins, canvases, cloths, clothes, interior design, design, graphic art, graphic design, objects, wrappings, banners, panels and various other

  materials (hereafter "Products").

• That once the terms of the present Contract are accepted, the Business can put the Works at the

  disposal of Maskins® s.n.c. by following the uploading procedures specified in the relevant section of the Website. Each upload of Works will be regulated by the terms and arrangements in the Terms and Conditions of Use and of the present Contract, with the confirmation of the Business after each upload.

• That by ticking the appropriate box at the end of the present Contract and signalling "I accept", the Business agrees to be bound by the conditions of the present Contract. The Business is invited to print and keep a copy of the Contract.

That in the case of large-scale provisions or of productions with a high degree of complexity, Maskins® s.n.c. will contact the Business directly, continuing the relationship also with means different from and alternative to the Website.

The following is hereby agreed and stipulated

The premises form an integral and substantial part of the present agreement. The present Contract remains fully valid and effective until its termination in conformity with the regulations contained within it.

1 -Provision of Works

1. The parties agree that the Business has the power to cede its own works to Maskins® s.n.c. through the uploading system of the Website and, only exceptionally and with prior explicit authorization, through other systems (mail, email or other), to be agreed each time. Only Works deemed to be suitable will be considered "Approved Works" and used by Maskins® s.n.c..
2. Maskins® s.n.c., at its exclusive discretion, will be able to determine which of such Works are suitable for being produced or published on the Website. Only Works deemed to be suitable will be considered "Approved Works" for the ends of the limitations contained in the present Contract. Approval by Maskins® s.n.c. of determinate Works that the Business sends to the Website does not constitute an automatic authorization for any other Works that the same Business may intend to send, which will be subject to the policies and procedures related on the Website and in the present Contract.

2 - Granting of Rights

1. The Business confers to Maskins® s.n.c. the mandate to produce, on its behalf, "Products" that incorporate the Works, as well as the right to present or display the Works publicly through any means currently in existence or that may be introduced in the future, through its Website or using other means possessed or managed from time to time by Maskins® s.n.c., or through distributor partners, or through other bases settled from time to time. Maskins® s.n.c. and its distributor partners will settle the terms and conditions of use and the commercial relationship regarding the Works conceded, but will not use or concede said Works for defamatory or pornographic uses or in other illicit ways.
2. Besides the mandate related above, Maskins® s.n.c. and its distributor partners will have the power to publish, reproduce, modify, display or, furthermore, to use the Works in any way approved for the purposes of its own activity linked to the promotion of the Website, the promotion of the Works, and the related distribution programmes (including, without limitation, the use of Approved Works and of the registered and non-registered trademarks of the Business, in relation to the Work, for ends of marketing, sales and promotional activity, through the Website or through third parties). The Business will not receive compensation for the use of the Approved Works for the above mentioned commercial ends.
3. The parties agree that all the rights, including the property rights and copyright, related to the Approved Works or included in them, will remain in the ownership of the Business, without any transfer or concession of property rights or copyright to Maskins® s.n.c. or to third parties, except in cases specified in the present Contract.

3 - Aspects Related to Intellectual Property Rights

1. The Business recognizes that Maskins® s.n.c. forbids the uploading of any material to the Website that in any way violates any patent, trademark, copyright, property right, commercial secret, right to privacy, right to publicity or any other applicable law.
2. With the upload of Works, the Business attests that it has the disposal of all property rights, copyright included, incidental to and relative to the Work, as well as the full powers to confer all the rights that must be conceded to Maskins® s.n.c. under the present Contract. Furthermore, in the measure in which it contains images of people or individuals, the Business attests and guarantees that it has obtained the clearance, valid and binding, from all the relevant parties, which permits the use of such a Work as provided for in the present Contract, and declares that it has conserved the original clearance and to provide a copy to Maskins® s.n.c. should the latter make such a request.
3. The Business recognizes that Maskins® s.n.c., the relevant administrators, executives, employees, shareholders, partners, affiliates or agents cannot be held responsible for damages whether direct, indirect, consequential or incidental, deriving from the use or the incapacity to make use of any Work or descriptive information, or from errors, omissions or anything else inherent to the clearance of the model or of the property rights related to the Works.

4 - Management of the Works

1. Maskins® s.n.c. imposes policies and processes that must be respected before agreeing to produce uploaded Works and some qualitative standards must be complied with. Maskins® s.n.c. does not and cannot perform checks of all the Works uploaded to the Website and is not responsible for the content, for the quality or for the consequences of the upload of said Works. Notwithstanding the above, Maskins® s.n.c. reserves the right to cancel, to move, to refuse to accept or to modify any communication, Work or descriptive information that it holds, at its discretion, to violate or potentially violate the present Contract, the intellectual property rights or other rights of third parties or any of its policies, or that it holds as unacceptable, giving communication to the Business with the end of their modification.
2. Maskins® s.n.c. will have the power, but not the obligation, to correct any errors or gaps present in the Works or in descriptive information, at its exclusive discretion. The Business recognizes that the checks of the Works carried out by Maskins® s.n.c. with the end of determining the Works as Approved Works are carried out with kind permission.

5 - Password

The Business recognizes and accepts its own responsibility for any access to or use of the upload areas of the Website effected with its user name and password, as well as the power of Maskins® s.n.c. to accept its user name and password as conclusive evidence of its will to upload Works under the present Contract. Maskins® s.n.c. does not have any responsibility or duty to check the provision of Works that have taken place with the user name and password of the user.

6 - Prices

1. The prices published on the Website include VAT, but not postage costs, and are expressed in € (Euros). Resellers will get the reserved discount for a minimum order of 40 skins. This discount is visible in all catalog when signed as reseller. Postage costs are added to the user's order during the process of confirmation, in accordance with the price list which is clearly displayed on the Website and which forms an integral part of the Terms and Conditions of Use. The methods of payment are those indicated on the Website and are liable to change, at any time, at the final decision of MASKINS®.
2. The prices of the products, in the case of international sales, do not include possible customs charges, intermediations or taxes that may be applied locally. We ask that you check local regulations before purchase.

7 - Confidential Information

1. The Business recognizes that confidential information (defined hereafter), obtained following the stipulations of the Contract and of the use of the Website, as well as the provision of Works, constitute proprietary, important and confidential information, and commits to not using it or divulging it to third parties in the absence of explicit written consent from Maskins® s.n.c. for the entire duration of the present Contract and after its termination, except in cases where this is specifically authorized by Maskins® s.n.c..

2. Under the present Contract, "Confidential Information" signifies any data, information, document,

software or material related to the activity or to the management of Maskins® s.n.c. or of its members, affiliates or partners, indicated as confidential or that may reasonably be considered confidential, including, by way of example: business model and operations, processes, products, prices, promotions, business plan, business opportunities, alliances, Works, graphics, documentation, finances, studies, development, know-how, commercial secrets, training materials, personnel, identity or personal information of any kind related to registered users, clients, methodologies, Works of the Website belonging to others and other intellectual property.

8 - Warranty Clause

The Business attests and guarantees that the following is true:

1. The Business enjoys the legal power and the authority necessary to stipulate the present Contract, has the power to concede all the licence rights that must be conceded under the present Contract and has not conceded rights or licences of any kind for Works or other intellectual property or technologies that might be in conflict with the present Contract;

2. If the Works consist, in part or in their entirety, of elements of design including design software, the licence contract for the final user, the equivalent service terms or the licence terms obtained by the Business for such design software authorize the Business to integrate said elements into the Work created by the Business;

3. No part of the Works transmitted from time to time to Maskins® s.n.c. contains disabling mechanisms or protection devices directed at impeding the use, the copying or the enjoyment thereof as envisaged in the present Contract, and the entire Work is free from viruses, worms, blocks or other mechanisms or devices that may be used to modify, cancel, damage or disable the Website, the Works or any other hardware or system of data elaboration, or liable to render otherwise inaccessible or in any way impede the use of the Works or of the Website;

4. The Works will include all the information necessary for their realization as products through the Website, and such information will be complete and accurate for each substantial aspect and will not include metadata that is false or misleading, that has the end or effect of "doping" keywords or that alters in an improper way the results of searches otherwise applicable to said Works;

5. The Works sent to Maskins® s.n.c. in this area constitute original creations and subjective expressions and no Work or piece of information violates copyright, trademarks, privacy rights, publicity rights or other proprietary rights of third parties, nor defames or harms in any way the reputation of third parties;

6. The Works have not been obtained illegally, neither in civil nor in penal terms, and are not subject to conditions of certification applicable or to conditions of access that may be violated with the use of the Works by Maskins® s.n.c. in accordance with the modalities provided for under the present Contract.

In the case of the violation of the preceding regulations, Maskins® s.n.c. will be able to immediately rescind the present Contract.

   • any use or presumed use of the Website with its User Name by anyone, authorized or unauthorized by the user;
   • resulting from communications made or Works uploaded with its User Name;
   • any violation of the present Contract of adherence by the Business;

   • any action threatened or begun in relation to a part of Maskins® s.n.c., in the measure in

     which such an action is based on the fact that any Work used within the limits of the field of application of the present Contract violates copyright, commercial secrets, trademarks, privacy rights, right of publicity or other intellectual property rights or other rights of third parties.

2. The Business recognizes that Maskins® s.n.c. has the right to decide whether and in what measure to proceed in relation to another third-party subject (a "Transgressor") for a presumed violation of the rights of the Business. The Business renounces with the present Contract any possible direct or indirect action in relation to Maskins® s.n.c. deriving from the decision of Maskins® s.n.c. to proceed or not to proceed in relation to a Transgressor, in any instance.
3. Maskins® s.n.c. recognizes that monetary reimbursements received as a result of any legal action or enforcement measure in relation to a Transgressor, in the measure in which said sums are destined to compensate Maskins® s.n.c. for loss of sales or for so-called "statutory damages", with prior deduction of costs and of expenses sustained by Maskins® s.n.c. or by any other on its behalf in order to obtain said reimbursement (including, purely by way of example, reasonable costs and fees of experts and counsellors and reasonable legal costs, defined on the basis of the legal counsellors and of the clients) will be split between the Business and Maskins® s.n.c. in conformity with the percentual quotes of discount obtained on the price indicated on the Website for analogous products.

4. The Business recognizes that the monetary reimbursements received as a result of any legal action filed against a Transgressor, in the measure in which said sums are destined to compensate the Business for the loss of royalties or for so-called "statutory damages", with the prior deduction of the costs and expenses sustained to obtain said reimbursements (including, purely by way of example, reasonable expenses and fees of experts and counsellors and reasonable legal expenses, defined on the basis of the legal counsellors and the clients) are split between the Business and Maskins® s.n.c. as indicated above in point 3.

10 - Duration and Cancellation

1. The present Contract is valid and effective until its natural conclusion and is of a general nature in the relationship between the Business and Maskins® s.n.c..

   property rights or other rights.

13 - Applicable Law

1. The Website is controlled, managed and administrated by Maskins® s.n.c. in Italy. The Website is accessible from any part of the world. Since laws elsewhere may differ from those of Italy and of the European Union, accessing the Website the user recognizes that the present Contract will be established according to the laws of Italy and of the European Union. The user therefore recognizes the exclusive jurisdiction of the laws of the Italian courts in relation to the present Contract.

   The present Contract will not be held to the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the

   International Sale of Goods, the application of which is explicitly excluded.

2. The Business commits to responding following any request for information or procedure on its behalf

   transmitted to it via email, registered post or courier with notice of delivery at the address or contact point provided by the Business at the moment of the initial authorization to access the areas of the Website reserved for registered users. The Business agrees to renounce any right to request a judicial procedure or to file a lawsuit or participate in collective legal proceedings against Maskins® s.n.c. in relation to the Website, the present Contract, or any agreement envisaged therein.

3. Any dispute directly or indirectly related to the present Contract, including, purely by way of example, its validity, interpretation, execution and violation, will be submitted to the judgment of the Court of Catania, Italy.
4. Should Maskins® s.n.c., in order to apply any of its rights or to recoup sums due to it, be forced to resort to legal avenues, the Business, in the case in which Maskins® s.n.c. wins the lawsuit, commits to reimbursing the legal costs, the expenses and the disbursements sustained by Maskins® s.n.c..

14 - Miscellaneous

1. The Business agrees and explicitly recognizes that, besides the terms of the present Contract, it has become acquainted with every other agreement that may be incorporated therein for reference, and agrees to be bound by them, in the measure in which they are an integral part of the present Contract. In the case of disputes the version of the contract written in Italian will attest.
2. Tolerance and non-insistence on the part of Maskins® s.n.c. in relation to the rigorous application of any regulation in the present Contract cannot be interpreted as a renunciation of such a regulation or right.
3. The present Contract is personal and binding in relation to the Business, its heirs, executors and legal representatives, according to the case, and is not credible unless with prior written consent by Maskins® s.n.c..
4. The present Contract may be modified with the written consent of the parties, or else by Maskins® s.n.c. through the publication of the modifications in the section of the Website designated for uploading. The continuation of the provision of Works or the non-cancellation of the Contract within thirty (30) days from the publication of the modification will be considered an acceptance on the part of the Business of the modification, which will be integrated into the Contract.
5. The Business takes cognizance and agrees that information about it may be kept by Maskins® s.n.c. for a reasonable period. Maskins® s.n.c., as the verifier and elaborator of data, may use this information in relation to the fulfillment of the present Contract, and also to contact the Business, and may reveal it to service providers who require it, in accordance with the privacy policy of Maskins® s.n.c..
6. The parties have asked that the present Contract and all related documents be drawn up in English and in Italian.
