Either party may terminate this Agreement for material breach following written notice and a cure period equal to the notice period set forth above.

Service Provider shall retain ownership of its pre-existing intellectual property, methodologies and tools. Upon full payment of amounts due under this Agreement, Service Provider assigns to Client a perpetual, non-exclusive license to use the final deliverables for Client's internal business purposes.
