to information received through participation in the SEAA Forum(s):
Any specifications, drawings, sketches, models, samples, data, computer
programs or documentation or other technical or business information in
written, graphic or other tangible or electronic form furnished or disclosed
to The SEAA or any other party in the course of the SEAA activities and/or
as a result of Member’s use of any materials (“the Information”)
should be deemed the property of The SEAA, and shall be returned to The
SEAA upon request. Member agrees to maintain all Information in confidence,
using the same degree of care Member uses to protect its own proprietary
information of like importance, but in no event less than a reasonable
degree of care.
Member agrees to disclose Information only to its employees and agents
of Member with a need to know for purposes of advancing the work of the
Forums and to require each such employee or agent to comply with the confidentiality
terms set out in this Agreement.
The provisions set out in these Terms and Conditions shall not apply to
Information which:
i) is or becomes a part of the public domain,
ii) is demonstrably known to Member prior to disclosure within the Forums,
iii) was independently developed by the Member outside of the Membership
Agreement,
iv) was rightfully obtained by Member from third parties with no obligation
of confidentiality.
The obligations of confidentiality set out above shall remain in effect
for the duration of the Membership Agreement and two years subsequent
to termination thereof.
Representation and Warranty
All materials and information (“materials”) provided by the
SEAA are provided “as is”, and the SEAA makes no representation
or warranty, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability
or fitness for a particular purpose. In no event shall the SEAA be liable
for any liability whether in contract, tort or otherwise for any losses
or damage arising out of or relating to this agreement. In no event shall
the SEAA be liable for any indirect or consequential losses including,
without limitation, any loss of profits, contracts, production or use.
The Member acknowledges that because of the special nature of The SEAA
it is reasonable for The SEAA to exclude liability as above and for the
Member to take measures, including insurance where appropriate, to mitigate
or prevent any potential losses that may arise (provided that such measures
are not in breach of these Terms and Conditions).
If any third party makes or threatens to make any claim (or if, in the
opinion of The SEAA such a claim is likely) that the use by the Member
of any Materials or other information provided by The SEAA infringes any
intellectual property right of such third party, The SEAA may, at its
option, either secure the Member’s right to continue using the Materials,
make the Materials non-infringing or withdraw the Materials on one months
written notice whereupon the Member shall not be authorized to make any
further use of the materials. This sub-clause states the entire responsibility
of The SEAA concerning infringement of third party intellectual property
rights.
Renewal
The Membership Agreement shall automatically renew upon each anniversary
date, unless terminated in accordance with "Termination" below.
Termination
The Membership Agreement may be terminated:
By either party giving to the other sixty (60) days notice in writing
before any anniversary of the date hereof.
By The SEAA on written notice to the Member if the Member has committed
any material breach of the Membership Agreement and in the case of a breach
capable of being remedied, has failed to remedy the breach, within 30
days after the receipt of a written request in writing from The SEAA notifying
the Member of such breach.
By The SEAA on written notice to the Member if the Member fails to pay
any sum(s) due to The SEAA under the Membership Agreement and such sum(s)
remain unpaid for thirty (30) days after written notice from The SEAA
that such sum(s) have not been paid.
For the avoidance of doubt, termination of the Membership Agreement for
any reason shall not entitle the Member to any refund of the annual sum
due under the Membership Agreement.
Modification
These Terms and Conditions may be modified by the inclusion by The SEAA
of additional requirements or terms on ninety (90) days written notice
to the Member. In the event Member does not agree to such additional requirements,

Member shall not be entitled to a refund of membership fees pursuant to
such resignation.
