Influencer’s obligations under these Terms, including any obligation to perform services for any company whose goods and services compete with those of the Client. Further, Influencer acknowledges and agrees that Pets on Q’s relationships with its customers, including Client and other brands, agencies and entities that use Pets on Q’s services (“Customers”) are of great value to Pets on Q. Accordingly, Influencer agrees that during the term of this Agreement and for one (1) year thereafter, Influencer will not directly or indirectly solicit or engage any Customer to purchase services similar to those provided by Pets on Q, other than through Pets on Q.
7) Term and Termination
(a) Term. The initial term of these Terms shall commence on the Effective Date and continue in full force and effect until terminated as set forth herein or until completion of all Services specified in the campaign, whichever is sooner.
(b) Termination. Pets on Q may terminate these Terms and/or the Services under any Campaign: (i) immediately in the event of a material breach by Influencer or (ii) for convenience at any time. Influencer must return any materials supplied under these Terms upon termination.(c) Survival. The rights and obligations contained in Sections 2, 3, 5, 7 and 8 will survive any termination or expiration of these Terms.
8) Miscellaneous
Influencer will not be entitled to, and hereby waives any right to seek injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of these Terms, and Influencer’s sole remedy for any breach by Pets on Q shall be to recover monetary damages, if any, subject to the terms and conditions herein. By signing up to be a part of the Pets on Q Booking Platform and talent roster, Influencer/Creator agrees to allow Pets On Q to promote their social media content, pages, analytics and demographics as they see fit. This includes, but is not limited to, sharing of content, pricing and analytical data with potential clients (i.e. brands, marketing companies, etc.) and reposting of any social media content from Influencer’s social media pages/blogs across all platforms owned by, or affiliated with, Pets on Q, Inc.
Influencer may not subcontract or otherwise delegate Influencer’s obligations under these Terms without Pets on Q’s prior written consent. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms shall benefit and bind the parties’ successors and permitted assigns. These Terms shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California and Influencer agrees that unless otherwise indicated by Pets on Q any action arising from or relating to these Terms shall be brought exclusively in a state or federal court located in Los Angeles County, California. Should any provisions of these Terms be held by a court of law to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of these Terms by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach by the other party. These Terms (including the applicable campaign) constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to this subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements concerning such subject matter. These Terms may only be changed by mutual agreement of authorized representatives of the parties in writing.

The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of these Terms by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach by the other party. These Terms (including the applicable campaign) constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to this subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements concerning such subject matter. These Terms may only be changed by mutual agreement of authorized representatives of the parties in writing.
