3. Reproduction License:  Where Korn Ferry provides digital versions of Program Materials to Client for printing, Korn Ferry grants to Client a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to print the Program Materials in the form provided during the COF Term.  The license does not include the right to modify the Program Materials in whole or in part. Client must retain and keep visibly displayed all copyright and trademark attribution that appears on the Program Materials.  Upon the expiration of the COF Term, Client must either return to Korn Ferry or destroy, at Korn Ferry’s direction, any Program Materials in its possession with no copy being retained by Client.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participants may retain their Program Materials indefinitely for their own personal reference.

4. For “Client Hosted” Programs, Korn Ferry will provide to Client the e-learning Program Materials in SCORM or other standard format for loading onto Client’s learning management system (“LMS”) for Participant use. Client will be responsible for loading the Program Materials onto its LMS.  Korn Ferry does not guarantee that the Program Materials will work with all LMS systems.

5. Access to Integrated Learning Experience (“ILE”) Programs or Korn Ferry Hosted Programs will be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable LMS. Unless otherwise stated on the COF, access to these Programs will be available for a period of (12) months from the COF Start Date.

6. Licenses to SPIN® related Programs, Buyer Focused Prospecting, Buyer Focused Opportunity Strategy, or Buyer Aligned Negotiations, are not valid in Europe or South Africa without Korn Ferry’s prior written authorization.

8. Orders for additional Services must be placed no fewer than 12 business days prior to the date of the relevant session or the date on which Program Materials are required to arrive.  Korn Ferry may accept orders fewer than 12 business days in advance of the session or required arrival date, subject to a rush fee and additional shipping charges to cover expedited shipping fees.  Korn Ferry will quote rush fees to Client and will not proceed with the order until Client has agreed to the rush fees in writing.   Upon Korn Ferry’s written confirmation of its receipt and acceptance of the order, the order will be binding and non-cancellable and non-refundable, and Korn Ferry will invoice Client for such Services.  Any orders will be governed by the Agreement. 

9. Cancellation/Rescheduling.  Korn Ferry will schedule and commit personnel and resources to provide the Services.  Korn Ferry understands that Client’s business conditions may change; however, rescheduling or cancelling on short notice impacts Korn Ferry’s business and its ability to provide outstanding service to all of its customers.  Client may reschedule or cancel the provision of Services by paying the following fees in addition to the associated fees for any Services rendered.  These fees are a genuine pre-estimate of Korn Ferry’s losses as a result of such rescheduling or cancellation, and are reflective of the value of the lost bookings for Korn Ferry for the time scheduled and fees which otherwise have been earned by the team leader, team members and other resources, and are not penalties.  If Client fails to provide Korn Ferry with documentation, information, or access to its personnel that impacts Korn Ferry’s ability to meet the completion date or Client otherwise delays the completion date, Korn Ferry reserves the right to charge Client a rescheduling fee as set forth below.  If Client fails to provide Korn Ferry with documentation, information, or access to its personnel that impacts Korn Ferry’s ability to meet the completion date or Client otherwise delays the completion date, Korn Ferry reserves the right to charge client a rescheduling fee as set forth below.

a.  If rescheduling or cancelling more than 20 business days before the scheduled program, meeting or session, Client will pay the Actual Expenses incurred as a result of the rescheduling or cancellation.

b. If rescheduling or cancelling 20 or fewer business days before the scheduled program, meeting or session, cancellation/rescheduling fees will be calculated based on the number of business days’ notice provided as shown in the table below, plus Actual Expenses incurred.
