Product Display:
University may grant Contractor the rights to secure sponsors for a limited number of product display locations at University designated locations.
Sponsorships:
The sponsorship rights awarded pursuant to this Agreement are subject to the following:
3.34.1 University Policies
All sponsorships must comply with the policies and rules of University, see Attachment F. Contractor may not sell any sponsorship that implies the University’s endorsement of the product or service so sponsored, and the use of University marks does not imply that the University is endorsing a product or service.
3.34.2 Use of Union marks is permissible by Union sponsors, so long as sponsor spending reaches an appropriate threshold to be determined by Contractor and the Union. The use of Union marks will be pre-approved by the Union management.
3.34.3 Implied Endorsement
Contractor may not sell any sponsorship that implies the endorsement of the product or service by any University employee without the prior written approval of University. All agreements between Contractor and a sponsor or corporate sponsor must state that such agreement will terminate automatically upon the termination of this Agreement.
University Personnel:
The sponsorship rights granted herein do not include a commitment for the services of any University personnel except as otherwise required as part of the mutual cooperation of the University in order that Contractor can carry out its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.
Damaging Sponsor:
The Contractor and the University recognize that circumstances could arise with respect to the future actions or inactions of a particular advertiser or sponsor (collectively a “Damaging Sponsor”) which would reasonably be interpreted to be either unethical, immoral or illegal on the part of the Damaging Sponsor (collectively the “Embarrassing Conduct”). If any Embarrassing Conduct occurs, the Contractor and the University will meet to determine the most appropriate solution to minimize and/or eliminate the effect of the Embarrassing Conduct on the University that may include immediately and permanently eliminating the sponsorship of the Damaging Sponsor. In such event, the Parties will meet and, in good faith, seek a mutually acceptable resolution.
Active Recruiting and Non-Solicitation:
Neither the University nor the Contractor shall actively recruit any employee of the other party performing any of the services within the scope of this contract. Neither the University nor the Contractor will engage the services of any person or persons now employed by the other party to provide services relating to this agreement without the written consent of the employing agency of such person or persons. The University cannot legally enter into a contract which in any way restricts the rights of any individual to pursue employment with any State of Wisconsin agency. In the event a candidate for a State of Wisconsin job is hired as a result of a public job solicitation open to any qualified applicants, the University is not liable.
Right to Approve Changes in Staff:
The University shall have the absolute right to approve or disapprove a proposed change in the assigned staff. The University, in each instance, will be provided with a resume of the proposed substitute and an opportunity to interview that person prior to giving its approval or disapproval. The University shall not unreasonably withhold its approval.
The University shall have the absolute right to approve or disapprove a sponsor, and/or the type of sponsorship proposed.
