General Services Agreement

This General Services Agreement ("Agreement") is made between Forshock ("Solutions Provider") and Customer ('Customer') (Collectively the 'Parties' to this agreement).

WHEREAS, Solutions Provider is engaged in the business of providing a full range of software development and control systems consulting services and solutions; and
WHEREAS, Customer desires to utilize Solutions Provider to perform such services and functions; and
WHEREAS, there is no existing approved and active Master Services Agreement ('MSA') between the parties; and
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties have agreed and do agree as follows:

AGREEMENT
1. Contracted Services.

This Agreement shall apply to the delivery of services, support, and functions as further described in Statements of Work, Estimate and/or Proposal ('SOW') that may be proposed and approved by the parties. Any such approved SOW shall be incorporated herein by reference (the services and functions described in any SOW are hereafter referred to as the 'Services'). In the event that the scope of the Services is expanded, revised, or modified, for any SOW incorporated herein, the parties shall prepare and sign an amended or new SOW (or change order), which likewise shall be attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Absent the execution of SOW, this Agreement does not, in and of itself, represent a commitment by Customer to receive any Services from Solutions Provider or pay Solutions Provider any fees.

2. Term of Agreement.
  • a. The term of this Agreement will commence on the date of Approval of a SOW by Customer and shall continue until terminated as provided herein in Section 13; Termination.
  • b. In the event that SOW provides for a different termination notice period, the SOW termination clause will control for that specific SOW only.
3. Fees and Payment Terms.
  • a. In addition, Customer shall reimburse Solutions Provider its actual out-of-pocket expenses as reasonably incurred by Solutions Provider in connection with the performance of Services. Additional expenses for materials, services, training and hardware may only be incurred by Solutions Provider and charged to Customer if prior written approval from Customer has been obtained.
  • b. Invoices will be delivered by email and are viewable on Solution Providers billing portal which is linked from the website at http://www.forshock.com. Customer may also pay invoices by credit card on the billing portal.
  • c. A late charge of one and one-half percent (1'%) per month, or the legal maximum if less, shall accrue on past due billings unless Customer notifies Solutions Provider of a billing dispute in writing prior to the payment due date. Customer shall be responsible for any costs incurred by Solutions Provider in the collection of unpaid invoices including, but not limited to, collection and filing costs and reasonable attorney's fees of not less than fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding balance due.
4. Change Orders or Out of Scope Services.

To the extent that Customer requires or requests additional services or services that exceed the Services set forth in any SOW incorporated herein, Solutions Provider will charge an additional fee for such additional services or out of scope work. Fees for such additional services or out-of-scope work will be set forth on a Change Authorization Order (CAO), which will also provide a description of the changed or additional service(s) being requested. Once a CAO is signed by both parties, it will be incorporated into the Agreement and have the same legal effect as the SOW that is incorporated into the Agreement.

5. Ownership of Materials Related to Services.

The parties agree that any materials prepared and delivered by Solutions Provider in the course of providing the Services shall be considered works made for hire. All rights, title, and interests of such materials shall be and are assigned to Customer as its sole and exclusive property, provided that materials shall not include Solutions Provider Intellectual Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties recognize that performance of Solutions Provider hereunder will require the skills of Solutions Provider and, therefore, Solutions Provider shall retain the right to use, without fee and for any purpose, such "know-how", ideas, techniques and concepts used or developed by Solutions Provider in the course of performance of the services of this Agreement.
Solutions Provider (or its licensor) will at all times retain all rights, ownership, and interest in any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property proprietary to them including without limitation any software, methodologies, tools, specifications, techniques, documentation or data which is utilized by Solutions Provider in the performance of Services and has been originated or developed by Solutions Provider, its affiliates or by third Parties outside of the scope of the Services, or which has been purchased by or licensed to Solutions Provider, together with any and all additions, enhancements, improvements or other modifications thereto whether or not made during the performance of the Services (collectively, 'Solutions Provider Intellectual Property'). Nothing contained in this Agreement or otherwise shall be construed to grant to Customer any right, title, license or other interest in, to or under any Solutions Provider Intellectual Property (whether by estoppel, implication or otherwise).

6. Independent Contractor.

The parties enter into this Agreement as independent contractors and nothing within this Agreement shall be construed to create a joint venture, partnership, agency, or other employment relationship between the parties. All Solutions Provider employees who are assigned to perform services at any Customer owned or leased facility shall be considered to be an employee of Solutions Provider only and will not be considered an agent or employee of Customer for any purpose. Solutions Provider will be solely responsible for payment of all compensation owed to its employees, including all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes and will make deductions for all taxes and withholdings required by law. In no event will any Solutions Provider employee be eligible for or entitled to any benefits of Customer.

7. Confidential Information.
  • a. Customer understands and acknowledges that Solutions Provider may, from time to time, disclose 'Confidential Information' to Customer. For purposes of this Agreement, the term 'Confidential Information' shall include but not be limited to any nonpublic and/or proprietary information or materials relating to Solutions Provider's promotional and/or marketing strategy and activity, Solutions Provider's pricing information (including but not limited to rates, margins, and budgets), Solutions Provider's financial and budget information, Solutions Provider's customer lists, information about the education, background, experience, and/or skills possessed by Solutions Provider employees, Solutions Provider employee compensation information, Solutions Provider's service and/or sales concepts, Solutions Provider's service and/or sales methodology, Solutions Provider's service and/or sales techniques, Solutions Provider's customer satisfaction data or sales information, or any information which Solutions Provider marks or identifies as "confidential" at the time of disclosure or confirms in writing as confidential within a reasonable time (not to exceed thirty (30) days) after disclosure. Customer will not disclose Solutions Provider's Confidential Information to any third party at any time without the prior written consent of Solutions Provider and shall take reasonable measures to prevent any unauthorized disclosure by its employees, agents, contractors, or consultants. Further, Solutions Provider's Confidential Information shall include the terms set forth in this Agreement, all of which shall remain the property of Solutions Provider and shall in no event be transferred, conveyed, or assigned to Customer as a result of the services provided pursuant to this Agreement. The foregoing duty shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
  • b. Solutions Provider also understands and acknowledges that Customer may, from time to time, disclose to Solutions Provider proprietary ideas, concepts, expertise, and technologies developed by Customer relating to computer application programming, installation, and operation (collectively 'Customer's Confidential Information'). Customer may further provide to Solutions Provider documentation, reports, memoranda, notes, drawings, plans, papers, recordings, data, designs, materials, or other forms of records or information relating to Customer's business operations (collectively 'Confidential Trade Information'). Solutions Provider agrees (i) not to use any Customer Confidential Information or Confidential Trade Information for its own use or for any purpose other than the specific purpose of completing the Services; (ii) not to voluntarily disclose any Customer Confidential Information or Confidential Trade Information to any other person or entity; and (iii) to take all reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of, and avoid disclosure or use of, Customer Confidential Information and/or Confidential Trade Information in order to prevent it from falling into the public domain or the possession of persons other than those persons authorized hereunder to have such Customer Confidential Information and/or Confidential Trade Information. The foregoing duty shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
  • c. In no event shall Customer use Solutions Provider's Confidential Information to reverse engineer or otherwise develop products or services functionally equivalent to the products or services of the Solutions Provider.
  • d. The following shall not be considered Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement: (a) Information which is or becomes in the public domain through no fault or act of the receiving party; (b) Information which was independently developed by the receiving party without the use of or reliance on the disclosing party's Confidential Information; (c) Information which was provided to the receiving party by a third party under no duty of confidentiality to the disclosing party; or (d) Information which is required to be disclosed by law with no further obligation of confidentiality, provided, however, prompt prior notice thereof shall be given to the party whose Confidential Information is involved.
  • e. The parties agree that the disclosure of any of the foregoing Confidential Information by either party shall give rise to irreparable injury to the owner of the Confidential Information, inadequately compensable in monetary damages. Accordingly, the non-disclosing party may seek and obtain injunctive relief against the breach or threatened breach of the foregoing undertakings, in addition to any other legal remedies which may be available.
8. Customer Responsibilities.

In addition to any obligations and responsibilities described in the SOW or elsewhere in this Agreement, Customer shall have shared responsibility with Solutions Provider regarding the following:

  • a. To ensure that the necessary business and application knowledge is available and conveyed from the Customer's existing support team to Solutions Provider's support team.
  • b. Provide ready access to all appropriate computing platforms, documentation (e.g., program source, copybooks, tables, subroutines) and personnel (i.e., end users and technical representatives) necessary to fully understand the current business systems and environments throughout the life of the engagement.
  • c. Provide at its facility, office space and equipment for Solutions Provider's on-site employees. Access will also be provided to the Customer's source libraries, test systems, and test data.
  • d. Provide external communications capability and/or access to its work facility to enable Solutions Provider's onsite project team to access the Customer's information technology system for after-hours or weekend Services as required.
  • e. Customer shall assign an employee or representative to be present at the work facility for any after hours or weekend Services provided by Solutions Provider.

  • f. Provide passwords and job numbers to Solutions Provider employees as needed.
9. Warranty of Services.

With respect to any Solutions Provider Deliverable or other Services, excluding any Customer provided or Customer directed third party materials, Solutions Provider warrants the following for a period of one-hundred eighty (180) days following final acceptance by Customer of the particular Solutions Provider Deliverable or the performance of such other Services (the 'Warranty Period'):

  • a. the applicable Services rendered hereunder will be performed by qualified personnel;
  • b. the applicable Services performed will substantially conform to any applicable requirements set forth in the SOW;
  • c. the applicable Solutions Provider Deliverable or Services will materially conform to the specifications, if any, and/or Acceptance Criteria, if any, for those specific corresponding Solutions Provider Deliverables or Services.

In the event that any Solutions Provider Deliverable or Service fails to conform to the foregoing warranties in any material respect, Solutions Provider shall have the right and obligation to cure or correct such failure as soon as commercially reasonably practical at Solutions Provider's expense. If Solutions Provider is unable to cure or correct such failure within a commercially reasonable period of time, then Customer may pursue its remedy at law to recover direct damages resulting from the breach of the limited warranties, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement. These remedies are the exclusive remedies and Solutions Provider's only obligation for breach of the warranties contained in this Agreement. Solutions Provider does not warrant that any Solutions Provider Deliverable will operate uninterrupted or error-free, provided that Solutions Provider shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement.

The foregoing warranties are expressly conditioned upon

  • (i) Customer providing Solutions Provider with prompt written notice of any claim there under prior to the expiration thereof, which notice must identify with particularity the non-conformity;
  • (ii) Customer's cooperation with Solutions Provider in all reasonable respects relating thereto, including assisting Solutions Provider to locate and reproduce the non-conformity; and
  • (iii) with respect to any Solutions Provider Deliverable, the absence of any material alteration or other modification of such Solutions Provider Deliverable by any person or entity other than Solutions Provider. The foregoing warranties will not apply if the alleged breach of warranty is due to third party hardware, software and any other services or goods supplied by non-Solutions Provider third Parties (including Customer) not conforming to their respective technical, functional and performance specifications and criteria, and Solutions Provider shall have no liability or obligation as a result thereof.

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Solutions Provider does not make any representation or warranty of any kind, whether such warranty be expressed or implied, including any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or any warranty form course of dealing or usage of trade.

In the event that Customer asserts any claim for warranty services hereunder and such claim relates to any matter that is determined not to be Solutions Provider's responsibility hereunder (including any problem with Customer's computer hardware, networking devices, control infrastructure, electrical systems or software that was not caused by any Services performed by Solutions Provider), Customer will be responsible to pay Solutions Provider for all evaluation, correction or other services performed by Solutions Provider relating to such claim on a time and materials basis at Solutions Provider's then standard billing rates.

10. Limitation of Liability.

Customer agrees that Solutions Provider shall not be liable to Customer, or any third party, for (1) any liability claims, loss, damages or expense of any kind arising directly or indirectly out of services provided herein for (2) any incidental or consequential damages, however caused, and Customer agrees to indemnify and hold Solutions Provider harmless against such liabilities, claims, losses, damages (consequential or otherwise) or expenses, or actions in respect thereof, asserted or brought against Solutions Provider by or in right of third parties or for (3) any punitive damages. For purposes of this Agreement, incidental or consequential damages shall include, but not be limited to, loss of anticipated revenues, income, profits or savings; loss of or damage to business reputation or good will; loss of Customers; loss of business or financial opportunity; or any other indirect or special damages of any kind categorized as consequential or incidental damages under the law of the State of California. Solutions Provider's liability for any damages hereunder shall in no event exceed the amount of fees paid by Customer to Solutions Provider as of the date the alleged damages were incurred.

11. Indemnification.

Each party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other, its employees, principals (partners, shareholders or holders of an ownership interest, as the case may be) and agents, from and against any third party claims, demands, loss, damage or expense relating to bodily injury or death of any person or damage to real and/or tangible personal property directly caused solely by the negligence or willful conduct of the indemnifying party, its personnel or agents in connection with the performance of the Services hereunder. To the extent that such claim arises from the concurrent conduct of Customer, Solutions Provider and/or any third party, it is expressly agreed that Solutions Provider's liability shall be limited by the terms and provisions of paragraph ten (10) herein and that, with respect to any remaining obligations to pay any third party claims, demands, losses, damages or expenses that are not limited by the terms and provisions of paragraph ten (10) herein, each party's obligations of indemnity under this paragraph shall be effective only to the extent of each party's pro rata share of liability. To receive the foregoing indemnities, the party seeking indemnification must promptly notify the other in writing of a claim or suit and provide reasonable cooperation (at the indemnifying party's expense) and full authority to defend or settle the claim or suit. The indemnifying party shall have no obligation to indemnify the indemnified party under any settlement made without the indemnifying party's written consent.

12. Equal Opportunity Employer.

Solutions Provider is an Equal Opportunity Employer and does not discriminate in recruitment, hiring, transfer, promotion, compensation, development, and termination of its employees on the basis of race, color, sex, age, marital status, national origin, handicap, religious beliefs, veteran's status or other protected category as required by applicable Federal, State and local laws. Customer likewise represents that it will not discriminate in the referral or acceptance of Solutions Provider hereunder on the basis of race, color, sex, age, marital status, national origin, handicap, religious beliefs, veteran's status or other protected category as required by applicable federal, state and local laws.

13. Termination.
  • a. Termination for Cause: If either party believes that the other party has failed in any material respect to perform its obligations under this Agreement (including any Exhibits or Amendments hereto), then that party may provide written notice to the other party's management representative describing the alleged failure in reasonable detail. If the alleged failure relates to a failure to pay any sum due and owing under this Agreement, the breaching party shall have thirty (30) business days after notice of such failure to cure the breach. If the breaching party fails to cure within thirty (30) business days, then the non-breaching party may immediately terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, for cause by providing written notice to the management representative of the breaching party. With respect to all other defaults, if the breaching party does not, within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving such written notice, either (a) cure the material failure or (b) if the breach is not one that can reasonably be cured within thirty (30) calendar days, then the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, for cause by providing written notice to the management representative of the breaching party.
  • b. Termination for Bankruptcy: Either party shall have the immediate right to terminate this Agreement, by providing written notice to the other party, in the event that (i) the other party becomes insolvent, enters into receivership, is the subject of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (ii) a substantial part of the other party's property becomes subject to any levy, seizure, assignment or sale for or by any creditor or government agency.
  • c. Payments Due: The termination of this Agreement shall not release either party from the obligation to make payment of all amounts then or thereafter due and payable.
  • d. Permitted Delays: Each party hereto shall be excused from performance hereunder for any period and to the extent that it is prevented from performing any services pursuant hereto in whole or in part, as a result of delays caused by the other party or an act of God, or other cause beyond its reasonable control and which it could not have prevented by reasonable precautions, including failures or fluctuations in electric power, heat, light, air conditioning or telecommunication equipment, and such nonperformance shall not be a default hereunder or a ground for termination hereof. Solutions Provider's time of performance shall be enlarged, if and to the extent reasonably necessary, in the event: (i) that Customer fails to submit information, instructions, approvals, or any other required element in the prescribed form or in accordance with the agreed upon schedules; (ii) of a special request by Customer or any governmental agency authorized to regulate, supervise, or impact Solutions Provider's normal processing schedule; (iii) that Customer fails to provide any equipment, software, premises or performance called for by this Agreement, and the same is necessary for Solutions Provider's performance hereunder. Solutions Provider will notify Customer of the estimated impact on its processing schedule, if any.
