9. Authorized Reseller must be available to respond to customer questions and concerns both before and after sale of the Products and should endeavor to respond to customer inquiries promptly. Authorized Reseller must represent the Products in a professional manner and refrain from any conduct that is or could be detrimental to the reputation of MTG.

10. Authorized Reseller is prohibited from advertising, marketing, displaying, or demonstrating nonMTG products together with MTG Products in a manner that would create the impression that the non-MTG products are made by, endorsed by, or associated with MTG.

11. Authorized Reseller shall comply with any and all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and policies related to the advertising, sale and marketing of the Products.

12. MTG owns all proprietary rights in and to the MTG brands, names, logos, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, patents, copyrights, and other intellectual property (the “MTG IP”). Authorized Reseller Effective 01.01.2019 is granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the MTG IP solely for purposes of marketing and selling the Products as set forth herein, and this license shall cease immediately upon termination of Authorized Reseller’s status as an Authorized Reseller. MTG may review, approve, and/or reject, in its sole discretion, an Authorized Reseller’s use of the MTG IP at any time. All goodwill arising from Authorized Reseller’s use of the MTG IP shall inure solely to the benefit of MTG.

13. If an Authorized Reseller violates this Policy, MTG reserves the right to terminate Authorized Reseller’s status as an Authorized Reseller in addition to all other available remedies. Upon termination of Authorized Reseller’s status, Authorized Reseller shall immediately cease selling the Products, representing itself as an Authorized Reseller of MTG Products, and all use of anything that may give the impression that Authorized Reseller is an Authorized Reseller of MTG Products or has any affiliation whatsoever with MTG.

14. If there is a breach or threatened breach of this Policy, it is agreed and understood that MTG shall have no adequate remedy in money or other damages and accordingly shall be entitled to injunctive relief and other equitable remedies. No failure, refusal, neglect, delay, waiver, forbearance, or omission by MTG to exercise any right(s) herein or to insist upon full compliance by Authorized Reseller with Authorized Reseller’s obligations in this Policy shall constitute a waiver of any provision or otherwise limit MTG’s right to fully enforce any or all provisions and parts thereof.

15. MTG DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW, COURSE OF DEALING, CUSTOM OF TRADE OR OTHERWISE. MTG SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO AUTHORIZED RESELLER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSS OF SALES, OR LOSS OF PROFITS.

16. MTG reserves the right to update, amend, or modify this Policy at any time.

17. This Policy and any dispute arising under it shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its choice of law rules. In the event of a dispute over the terms or performance under the Policy, Authorized Reseller expressly submits to personal jurisdiction and venue in the federal or state courts in Summit County, Ohio. If any provision of the Policy is held contrary to law, the remaining provisions shall remain valid.

18. MTG will establish from time to time a Minimum Advertised Price (“MAP”) for each Product and shall communicate the MAP in writing to each Authorized Reseller. MTG may, in its sole discretion, revise the MAP for any Product at any time. MTG will communicate any changes in MAP to Authorized Resellers. Advertising a Product using MTG’s IP at a price below the MAP may lead to discontinuance by MTG of its relationship with Authorized Reseller. MTG’s intention and policy is not to engage any Authorized Reseller that advertises a Product at a price below the MAP. It is the decision of each Authorized Reseller to advertise a Product at any price it chooses, as long as it is not less than the Product’s MAP. Without limiting the foregoing, this MAP policy is not intended to require any Authorized Reseller to resell a Product for a specific price. This MAP policy does not establish maximum advertised prices. All Authorized Resellers may offer Products at any price equal to or in excess of the MAP. Compliance with this MAP policy remains at all times solely at the discretion of each Authorized Reseller.
