11.  Any invoice, package, bill of lading and shipping order to be sent by Vendor to Vendee in connection with this Purchase Order must reference the Purchase Order number.  Terms shall be as set forth herein.

12.  In addition to, and without limiting Vendee’s termination rights hereunder or any other rights Vendee might have, Vendee has the right to (i) terminate this Purchase Order, in whole or in part, at any time effective upon Vendor’s receipt of written notice thereof, and/or (ii) in the event of Vendor’s default or potential inability to perform this Purchase Order, to demand that Vendor deliver to Vendee the raw materials and work in process acquired by Vendor in order to perform under this Purchase Order, and to complete the work and deduct the cost of such completion from the price, or, in the alternative, solely to pay to Vendor the cost of such raw materials and work in process. In the event of termination other than in connection with a breach, Vendor may claim only reasonable, properly supported out-of-pocket costs actually incurred prior to receipt of written notice of termination, plus a reasonable amount for the work already satisfactorily performed; provided, however, that in no event shall the total payments made to Vendor by Vendee pursuant to the foregoing, together with any payments previously remitted by Vendee to Vendor hereunder, exceed the amount stated as payable in the Purchase Order prior to termination.  For specially prepared Materials unique to Vendee’s order, any partially completed work or raw materials whose full costs are included in the termination charges shall be identified in writing and held by Vendor for disposition in accordance with Vendee’s written instruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vendee reserves the right to cancel all or any part of the undelivered portion of this Purchase Order, without liability, in addition to Vendee’s other rights and remedies, if Vendor breaches any of the terms and conditions herein.

13.  All Materials provided by Vendor to Vendee and all results thereof and any show or event of Vendee in which such Materials are to be utilized and all elements thereof shall belong exclusively to Vendee and shall, to the greatest extent possible, be considered “works-made-for-hire” within the meaning of the United States Copyright Act.

Vendee and/or its licensees, successors and assigns shall be considered, forever and for all purposes throughout the universe, the author of the Materials and the sole copyright owner thereof, and the owner of any rights therein, whether or not copyrightable, all proceeds derived therefrom. For the purposes of this paragraph only, the defined term “Materials” shall not include any products, items, property (including intellectual property) or other material that Vendee has provided to Vendor.

14.  Vendor shall not negatively affect the union jurisdiction of any union members employed or engaged by Vendee or any of its affiliates, including but not limited to any such jurisdiction in the operation of any venue or location owned or operated by Vendee or an affiliate.

17.  Vendor shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status or other criteria prohibited by the laws of the United States and the State and City or County where the work is being performed.  Vendor shall take all necessary steps to assure that none of its employees or any other person providing services pursuant to this Purchase Order engages in harassment or intimidation, including sexual, racial or ethnic harassment or intimidation, of anyone on the premises.  If such conduct occurs, Vendor shall take all necessary steps to stop it and prevent its future occurrence, including, but not limited to, the immediate dismissal or transfer of personnel. 

18.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Vendor is providing its services under this Purchase Order as an independent contractor and that Vendor is not an employee of Vendee.  Nothing herein shall be construed as creating any other relationship between the parties.  Vendor shall be fully and solely responsible for all compensation due any of the individuals retained by it to perform services required pursuant to this Purchase Order, regardless of whether such individuals are employees of Vendor or independent contractors.  Vendee shall have no responsibility to pay compensation or benefits, including without limitation any benefits which are payable pursuant to applicable law, to or on behalf of any individuals retained by Vendor.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this this Purchase Order, no party undertakes to perform any obligation of the other party, whether regulatory or contractual, or to assume any responsibility for the management of the other party’s business.
