Common use of Suggestions, Joint Efforts, and Statistical Information Clause in Contracts

Suggestions, Joint Efforts, and Statistical Information. To the avoidance of doubt, Customer has no obligation to provide its suggestion to RIB; however, if Customer suggests, or provides its findings, inventions, improvements, discoveries, or ideas or know-how in any form (collectively the “Suggestions”) to RIB, then RIB, at its sole option, has the right to post and use it. For such Suggestions, Customer warrants that 1) they will not be subject to a license requiring RIB to license anything to third parties; and 2) they are owned or otherwise controlled by Customer and not subject to any third-party rights (including any personality or publicity rights). Customer (and anyone providing Suggestions through Customer) hereby irrevocably and perpetually grants to RIB and its Affiliates a worldwide, non-exclusive, fully paid-up, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable right and license to make, use, reproduce, prepare derivative works based upon, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, transmit, and otherwise commercialize the Suggestions (including by combining or interfacing products, services or technologies that depend on or incorporate Suggestions with other products, services or technologies of RIB or others), without attribution in any way and for any purpose. Any further development conducted by RIB solely or jointly with Customer based on the Suggestions will be and remain the sole property of RIB and may be used, sold, licensed, or otherwise provided by RIB to third parties, or published or otherwise publicly disclosed, in RIB’s sole discretion without notice, attribution, payment of royalties, or liability to Customer. Customer acknowledges and agrees that RIB has and retains exclusive and valid ownership of all RIB Data. Customer hereby assigns to RIB any and all right, title, and interest in and to any statistical information. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, Customer shall not obtain any right, title, or interest (other than the license expressly set forth herein) in or to anything created or developed by RIB in connection with or incident to this Agreement.
