All right title and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Deliverables (and all copies, updates, improvements, enhancements, modifications, changes, and derivative works in relation thereto) whether created solely by ATB or jointly by ATB and Customer during the Term of this Agreement, shall be and shall remain in ATB and shall vest in ATB upon their creation.

ATB grants to Customer a limited, royalty-free, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except in compliance with section 11(j)), worldwide license to use and access the Deliverables, as applicable, for Customer’s internal business purposes.
- Open Source. The ATB IP may contain or be provided together with free or open-source software. Notwithstanding Sections 2(d), 2(g), 6(a) and 6(b), each item of free or open-source software is subject to its own applicable license terms, or in the applicable documentation or the applicable help, notices, about or source files as required by the terms of the applicable open-source license. Copyrights to the free and open-source software are held by the respective copyright holders indicated therein.
- Customer Data. ATB acknowledges that, as between ATB and Customer, Customer owns all right, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Customer Data. Customer hereby grants to ATB a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to reproduce, distribute, and otherwise use, modify, access and display the Customer Data and perform all acts with respect to the Customer Data as may be necessary for ATB to provide the Services to Customer, and a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide licence to reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of and otherwise use and display Customer Data incorporated within the Aggregated Statistics, including anonymizing and aggregating any Customer Data such that it no longer contains any information that identifies the Customer or, End User, as the case may be.
- End User Data. ATB acknowledges that it has no right, title and interest, including any intellectual property rights, in and to the End User Data. End User Data shall be processed in accordance with the terms of use for the specific Digital Wallet application used by the End User.
Feedback. At your option you may provide feedback, suggestions, recommendations, and corrections to ATB about the Solution and other ATB products and services or otherwise in connection with the Agreement, including by responding to surveys and questionnaires (“Feedback”). You grant to ATB and its affiliates a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable (through multiple tiers) license to use the Feedback without restriction and without obligation to you, including to incorporate the Feedback into ATB’s products and services.
DECENTRALIZED NETWORKS.
- The Parties acknowledge and agree that, to facilitate the Services and provide access to the ATB Technology, ATB will endorse and write digitally signed transactions authored by Customer on a Decentralized Network (the “Transaction Ledger”), as further described in Section 7(b). Where the transaction is written on the Sovrin Transaction Ledger, in order to receive the Services, Customer must agree to the Sovrin Transaction Author Agreement located at: https://sovrin.org/wp-content/uploads/Transaction-Author-Agreement-V2.pdf. Where the transaction is written on the Indicio Transaction Ledger, in order to receive the Services, Customer must agree to the Indicio Transaction Author Agreement located at: https://github.com/Indicio-tech/indicio-governance/blob/main/Indicio%20Transaction%20Author%20Agreement.pdf. ATB may write records to the Transaction Ledger (each, a “Transaction”) on behalf of Customer, provided that Customer shall not author Transactions to be written by ATB containing personal information or any form of personally identifiable information. Customer agrees to accept all liability for the contents of such Transactions. Customer hereby represents and warrants that content submitted by Customer to the Services requiring endorsement will be endorsed by ATB automatically and programmatically, and that ATB has no ability or process by which to inspect or censor the content of Transactions authored by Customer. Customer acknowledges and agrees that all content submitted through the Services complies with this Agreement and any agreements Customer enters into with the administrators of the Transaction Ledger, including the Sovrin Transaction Author Agreement or Indicio Transaction Author Agreement, as the case may be. ATB reserves the right to provide the Services using an alternate Decentralized Network in its sole discretion, upon reasonable notice to Customer. Upon such notice, Customer will execute all relevant documents with the administrator of such Decentralized Network.
- Certain Customer Data may be processed on the Transaction Ledger, as further described in the Privacy Statement. By design, a Decentralized Network’s records cannot be changed or deleted and are said to be ‘immutable’. Although Smart Contracts may be used to revoke certain access rights, and some content may be made invisible to others, it is not deleted. This may affect Customer’s ability to exercise its rights such as Customer’s right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”), to object or restrict processing, of Customer Data, such as Digital Wallet addresses. Customer acknowledges and agrees that it shall not author Transactions to be written by ATB containing personal information or any form of personally identifiable information. Any attempt by Customer to use the Services to write any personal information to the Sovrin Ledger may result, at ATB’s sole discretion, revocation of Customer’s right to use the Services and the ATB IP and/or termination of this Agreement.

Any legal suit, action, litigation, or proceeding of any kind whatsoever in any way arising out of, from or relating to this Agreement, including all statements of work, exhibits, schedules, attachments, and appendices attached to this Agreement, the services provided hereunder, and all contemplated transactions, shall be instituted in the courts of the city of Calgary in the Province of Alberta, and each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action, litigation, or proceeding. Service of process, summons, notice, or other document by mail to such Party's address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any suit, action, litigation, or other proceeding brought in any such court. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action, litigation, or proceeding is conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

No assignment or delegation will relieve the assigning or delegating Party of any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
- Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under 5 or, in the case of Customer, Section 2(c) and Section 3, would cause the other Party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity or otherwise.
- Cumulative Remedies. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any applicable Order Form, the rights and remedies provided hereunder are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution of any other rights and remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise.
- Publicity. ATB may use Customer’s name or logo or refer to Customer directly or indirectly in a media release, public announcement or public disclosure relating to this Agreement or its subject matter, including any promotional or marketing materials, client lists, referral lists or business presentations, without prior written consent from Customer.
