3. Reproduction License: Where Korn Ferry provides digital versions of Program Materials to Client for printing, Korn Ferry grants to Client a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to print the Program Materials in the form provided during the COF Term. The license does not include the right to modify the Program Materials in whole or in part. Client must retain and keep visibly displayed all copyright and trademark attribution that appears on the Program Materials. Upon the expiration of the COF Term, Client must either return to Korn Ferry or destroy, at Korn Ferry’s direction, any Program Materials in its possession with no copy being retained by Client.

Any orders will be governed by the Agreement.
9. Cancellation/Rescheduling. Korn Ferry will schedule and commit personnel and resources to provide the Services. Korn Ferry understands that Client’s business conditions may change; however, rescheduling or cancelling on short notice impacts Korn Ferry’s business and its ability to provide outstanding service to all of its customers. Client may reschedule or cancel the provision of Services by paying the following fees in addition to the associated fees for any Services rendered. These fees are a genuine pre-estimate of Korn Ferry’s losses as a result of such rescheduling or cancellation, and are reflective of the value of the lost bookings for Korn Ferry for the time scheduled and fees which otherwise have been earned by the team leader, team members and other resources, and are not penalties. If Client fails to provide Korn Ferry with documentation, information, or access to its personnel that impacts Korn Ferry’s ability to meet the completion date or Client otherwise delays the completion date, Korn Ferry reserves the right to charge Client a rescheduling fee as set forth below. If Client fails to provide Korn Ferry with documentation, information, or access to its personnel that impacts Korn Ferry’s ability to meet the completion date or Client otherwise delays the completion date, Korn Ferry reserves the right to charge client a rescheduling fee as set forth below.
