                  or failure of a party's Website, its obligation shall be
                  limited to use of reasonable diligence under the circumstances
                  to restore its Website to operation.

         8.3      Standards. Each party retains the right, in its sole
                  discretion, to immediately cease linking to or providing
                  Content to the other party's Website if such party has
                  reasonable grounds to believe that the other party's Website
                  or Content infringes on the proprietary rights of any third
                  party, violates any applicable law or regulation, or is

                  Guidelines. Intel will comply with the eDiets.com Mark Usage

                  policies (as they may be amended from time to time) with
                  respect to the use of information and data uploaded to its
                  Website by End Users of VivonicTM Products; provided, however,
                  that nothing contained in either party's privacy policy shall
                  interfere with the right of the other party to use data of an
                  End User if such End User expressly consents to the use of

                  change in the other party's privacy policy for any reason set
                  forth in the previous sentence, then the Account Managers for
                  the parties shall meet and work out mutually acceptable
                  language.

         8.6      Account Managers. Each party shall appoint an Account Manager
                  whose responsibilities shall include monitoring the
                  performance of obligations under this Agreement. The parties'

         13.5     Assignment. Neither party may assign or otherwise transfer its
                  rights or obligations under this Agreement without prior
                  written consent of the other party; provided that Intel may
                  assign this Agreement to any new entity it creates to carry on
                  the business that is currently conducted by its Vivonic unit
                  without eDiets.com's consent, and any such assignment shall
                  act as a novation of any obligations of Intel under this
                  Agreement.

         13.6     Waiver. Failure by either party to enforce any term of this
                  Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement

                  agreement that may be in place between the parties.

         13.7     No Rule of Strict Construction. Regardless of which of the
                  parties may have drafted this Agreement, no rule of strict
                  construction shall be applied against either party. If any
                  provision of this Agreement is determined by a court to be
                  unenforceable, the provision will be deemed to be modified to
                  the extent necessary to allow it to be enforced to the extent
                  permitted by law, or if it cannot be modified, the provision
                  will be severed and deleted from this Agreement, and the
                  remainder of the Agreement will continue in effect.

         13.8     Governing Law; Jurisdiction. Any claim arising under or
                  relating to this Agreement shall be governed by the internal
                  substantive laws of the State of Delaware or federal courts
                  located in Delaware, without regard to principles of conflict
                  of laws. Each party hereby agrees to jurisdiction and venue in
                  the courts of the State of California for all disputes and
                  litigation arising under or relating to this Agreement.

         13.9     Force Majeure. Neither party shall be responsible for its
                  failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control

This mark is used both as a service mark (SM) and a trademark (TM).

1.       As with all other marks, the VivonicTM mark should always be used as an
         adjective accompanied by an appropriate noun. This means that the
         Vivonic mark must be followed by an appropriate descriptor (e.g.,

                              INTEL PRIVACY POLICY

Vivonic's Online Privacy Policy

Your right to privacy is very important. We recognize that when you choose to
provide us with information about yourself, you trust us to act in a responsible
manner. We believe this information should only be used to help us provide you
with better service. That's why we have put a policy in place to protect your
personal information. Below is a summary of our policy:

What personal information do we collect?

As a VivonicTM Web site visitor, generally when you visit our site and access
information, you will remain anonymous. Before we ask you for information, we
will explain how this information will be used. We will not provide any of your
personal information to other companies or individuals without your permission.
There are occasions when we will ask you for additional information. We do this
to be able to better understand your needs and provide you with services that we
believe may be valuable to you. Some examples of information our website
collects are name, address, email address and phone number. We give you the
opportunity to elect not to receive materials from us. If you sign up for a
Vivonic electronic newsletter or email list, each message will include
instructions on how to "unsubscribe" from the list.

If you are an owner of a VivonicTM Fitness Planner, you may upload and download
your personal fitness, training and nutrition data to the VivonicTM Web site for
assessment and updating. If you are also a registered user or member of one of
our fitness partners, we may ask you for permission to share your personal
fitness, training and nutrition data with our fitness partner, and our fitness
partner may ask you to share your personal, training and nutrition data with us.
This information will not be shared without your permission. This privacy policy
only governs our use of information about you. Before you give us permission to
share your personal data with any of our fitness partners, you should visit
their site and review their privacy policy.

Protecting your privacy

We will take appropriate steps to protect your privacy. Whenever you provide
sensitive information (for example, a credit card number to make a purchase), we
will take reasonable steps to protect it, such as encrypting your card number.
We will also take reasonable security measures to protect your personal
information in storage, and only permit access to that information by persons
needing access to perform their jobs.

Except for personal fitness training and nutrition information that you ask us
to share with specific fitness partners, we will not provide any of your
personal information to other companies or individuals without your permission.
However, we may need to provide your name and delivery address to third parties
that we use for the purpose of delivering a specific

                                       20

service to you (e.g. customer support, or a shipping company, if you have asked
us to ship something to you).

Our website may provide links to third party sites. Since we do not control
these websites, we encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third
party sites.

Finally, while your individual information is protected as outlined above, we do
reserve the right to use aggregated anonymous data from our users as a group.
Specifically, we may share this aggregate information with our advertisers and
business partners.

Children's privacy

The Vivonic Web site does not knowingly collect personally identifiable
information from children under age 13. If we discover that a child under the
age of 13 has provided us with any personally identifiable information, we will
delete that information from our systems.

Vivonic encourages parents to go online with their children. Parents should
understand the sites their kids are visiting and which sites are appropriate.
There are parental control tools available such as browsers and filtering
software that prevent children from accessing inappropriate sites. Children
should never give out personal information on the Internet, such as name,
address, phone number, or name of school, unless supervised by a parent or
responsible adult. Look for a privacy policy on a web site and find out how
information collected from children is treated. Parents should teach their
children to look for sites that display a privacy policy.

disable cookies in your browser, you can still access most of our website.

Data storage in the US

Portions of our website collect information. That information will be stored and
processed in databases in the United States.
