Client shall use and apply the Rdio Marks in accordance with the policies and guidelines related to the Rdio Marks that have been communicated to Client by Synacor. Client shall provide Synacor with copies of all sample advertisements, brochures, and other materials in which the Rdio Marks are proposed to be used or proposed to appear for Synacor’s written approval prior to the commercial publication, dissemination or use thereof, and shall make all changes in any such advertisements, brochures and other materials as Synacor reasonably requests. Except as provided in this Agreement, Client shall have no right to use the Rdio Marks in any manner whatsoever, without the prior written consent of Synacor. Synacor represents and warrants that it has the right to grant the license provided herein and further represents and warrants that it has the authority to approve any such use of the Rdio Marks in the manner described herein. For purposes of clarification, the parties acknowledge and agree that any Rdio Marks authorized by Synacor to be used by Client hereunder shall constitute Synacor Sourced Content.
5.0 Scope of Amendment: This Fifth Amendment supersedes all proposals, oral or written, all negotiations, conversations, or discussions between or among parties relating to the subject matter of this Fifth Amendment. This Fifth Amendment shall be integrated into, and form part of, the Agreement effective as of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date. All terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain unchanged except as expressly modified in this Fifth Amendment; and the terms of the Agreement, as modified by this Fifth Amendment, are hereby ratified and confirmed. Where the terms of the Agreement conflict with those of this Fifth Amendment, however, the terms of this Fifth Amendment shall control.
