internet usage), anti-discrimination, equal engagement
opportunity and occupational health and safety.
(b) The Contractor agrees to become familiar with such policies
and procedures and, insofar as the carrying out of the
services by the Contractor will affect the carrying out of
those policies and procedures by the Company and its
employees, will not do anything which would result in a breach
of such policies and procedures.
(c) Subject to (b) these polices and procedures do not form part
of this Agreement and are not incorporated into the terms and

rights in relation to any Intellectual Property developed or
created in the manner described in clause 8(a).

Contractor, whether by way of royalty or otherwise,
in consideration for the assignment.
(d) The Contractor must do all things necessary to give effect to

property neither for the purpose of the Engagement nor using
the Company's resources including but not limited to patents,
software, services, online marketing tools, and techniques for

services and that this intellectual property shall at all
times be and remain the property of the Contractor.

continue to apply after termination of the Engagement without
limitation in point of time but will cease to apply to
information or knowledge which may come into the public
domain, other than by breach by the Contractor of this
Agreement.
(e) Since any breach of the provisions of clauses 9(a), 9(b) and
9(c) of this Agreement may diminish the value of the
Confidential Information, the Contractor acknowledges that the
Company, for itself and on behalf of the 30DC Group, will be
entitled to equitable relief, including but not limited to

-7-
CONTRACT FOR SERVICES AGREEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
notice effective forthwith and without payment of any
remuneration, allowances or incentives of any nature, other
than as accrued to the date of termination. Termination
without notice may occur in circumstances where the
Contractor:
(i) fails to provide services or becomes unable to
provide the services under this Agreement for a
period of not less than one Month or any periods
aggregating not less than one Month in any period of
12 Months;
(ii) is guilty of any serious or wilful misconduct; or

11.3 BY THE COMPANY WITH NOTICE
After the initial 24 month restriction on termination, the Company may

After the initial 24 month restriction on termination, the Contractor
may terminate the Engagement by giving six Months' notice in writing to

Contractor's remuneration for the shortfall in the required period of
notice, on the basis that amount be forfeited by the Contractor to the

of (a) or (b) below:
(a) pay the Contractor a lump sum equal to at least the total of
all amounts that, if the Engagement had continued until the
end of the required period of notice, the Company would have
become liable to pay to the Contractor because of the
Engagement continuing during that period. If the Company makes
that payment then the Engagement terminates on tender by the
Company to the Contractor of that lump sum; or
(b) require the Contractor to no longer provide services to the
Company (for the balance of the period of the notice).
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, termination notice also terminates
the officer's position on the date thereof without
resignation.
11.6 BOARD REACTION TO TERMINATION
If at any time either the Company or the Contractor gives the other
notice of termination of the Engagement, the Board will immediately be
entitled to:
(a) appoint, with effect from such date as may be designated by
the Board, another contractor to provide the services that
were being carried out by the Contractor immediately prior to
the date upon which any such notice of termination is given;
and
(b) require the Contractor to assist any contractor or person
appointed to provide the services as the Board may deem
necessary and for such period within the six Month period of
notice as the Board may determine to ensure an orderly
handover of the Contractor's services to the replacement
provider.
