2.4 Affiliates.  Any Affiliate of Customer will have the right to enter into an Order Form executed by such Affiliate and Shogun and this Agreement will apply to each such Order Form as if such Affiliate were a signatory to this Agreement. With respect to such Order Forms, such Affiliate becomes a party to this Agreement and references to Customer in this Agreement are deemed to be references to such Affiliate. Each Order Form is a separate obligation of the Customer entity that executes such Order Form, and no other Customer entity has any liability or obligation under such Order Form.

2.5 Ownership Rights.  As between the parties, Shogun owns and will retain all right, title and interest in and to the Shogun Software and any improvements thereto, and Customer (or, if Customer is an agency, its Agency Client(s)) owns and will retain all right, title and interest in and to the Customer Content and Customer Websites (excluding any Shogun Software embedded therein). No rights are granted other than as expressly set forth herein.

2.6 Feedback.  Customer may from time to time provide Shogun suggestions or comments for enhancements or improvements, new features or functionality or other feedback (“Feedback”) with respect to the Shogun Software.  Shogun will have the full, unencumbered right to use, incorporate and otherwise fully exercise and exploit any such Feedback in connection with its products and services.
