Terms and Conditions

Terms and Conditions

THIS MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made between InnoTek Computer Consulting, Inc., a Pennsylvania Corporation having its principal offices at 24 West Main St. Bloomsburg, PA 17815 (“INNOTEK”) and the Client indicated on the corresponding Statement of Work (“Client”).

SCOPE OF AGREEMENT

This Agreement is as a master agreement and applies to Client’s and its Affiliates’ purchases from INNOTEK of services (“Services”), as well as licenses for software, hardware, support and maintenance services, and/or subscription services (collectively, “Product”). No Product or Services will be provided under this Agreement alone, but may require the execution of a written or electronic order form, (each, an “SOW”), upon execution, is deemed incorporated in this Agreement for all purposes. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Statement of Work and those of this Agreement, the terms of the SOW will prevail.

TERM AND TERMINATION

This Agreement will begin on the Effective Date of the SOW and will continue until each SOW expires or is terminated. INNOTEK may: (a) terminate a specific SOW if Client fails to pay any applicable fees due for that SOW within 30 days after receipt of written notice from INNOTEK of non-payment; and/or (b) terminate this Agreement or a SOW if Client commits any other material breach of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from INNOTEK. Upon any termination of the right to use a Product, Client will immediately uninstall (if the Product is software) and cease to use the terminated Product and, upon INNOTEK’s written request, immediately return such Product to INNOTEK. If a SOW for Services is terminated, Client will promptly pay INNOTEK for Services rendered, and expenses incurred through the termination date. INNOTEK may terminate any license granted for a Deliverable (as defined below) if (i) Client does not pay INNOTEK for that Deliverable in accordance with this Agreement, or (ii) if Client materially breaches any part of Section 4 of this Agreement.

PAYMENT AND DELIVERY

Client will pay INNOTEK all fees due upon receipt of an invoice specifying the amounts due (“Fees”). All Fees payable under this Agreement are exclusive of sales, use, and any other applicable transaction taxes, which Client will pay. If payment is not received on or before any invoice due date, interest shall begin to accrue and be payable at the lesser of the maximum rate permitted under applicable law or at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month from the date due until paid in full. Client shall pay all expenses, including actual attorneys’ fees, incurred by INNOTEK or its representatives in enforcing its rights under this Agreement, provided that INNOTEK is successful on the merits. Client’s obligation to pay undisputed amounts due for Services and INNOTEK’s right to all such amounts are absolute and unconditional. All Fees will be detailed in a SOW. Unless otherwise stated in a Statement of Work, Client agrees to pay or reimburse INNOTEK for all actual, necessary, and reasonable expenses incurred by INNOTEK in performance of such Statement of Work. INNOTEK will submit invoices to Client for such fees and expenses either upon completion of the Services, or at stated intervals, in accordance with the applicable Statement of Work.
