Terms of Service
Terms of Service
These terms will govern all Services provided to Customer by Rellify, Inc. (the “Rellify”). One or more separate Statements of Work (SOW) will specify the Services to be provided by Rellify and Customer’s payment obligations for such Services.
1. Definitions
1.1. “Services” means the limited professional services work performed by Rellify for Customer pursuant to a Statement of Work agreed to by the parties in writing, under these terms. The schedule for Services will be agreed upon by the parties.
1.2. “Statement of Work” means Rellify’s standard form for ordering Services which specifies the Services and applicable fees. Each Statement of Work will be governed by the terms of these terms and will reference these terms.
2. Charges, Payment, and Taxes
2.1. Fees for Services. Unless otherwise expressly specified in the applicable Statement of Work: (i) Services will be provided on a time and materials (“T&M”) basis; that is, Customer will pay Rellify for all the time spent performing such Services, plus materials, taxes, and expenses; and (ii) the rates for Services will be Rellify’s standard rates in effect for the country in which such Services are provided when such Services are provided. Any monetary limit stated in the applicable Statement of Work for T&M Services will be an estimate only for Customer’s budgeting and Rellify’s resource scheduling purposes.
2.2. Invoicing, Payment and Taxes. Rellify will invoice Customer as specified in the applicable Statement of Work. If Rellify is required to pay or collect any local, value added, goods and services taxes or any other similar taxes or duties arising out of or related to a Statement of Work (not including taxes based on Rellify’s income), then such taxes and/or duties shall be billed to and paid by Customer.
2.3. Measurement Tools and Access. Key performance indicators defined within the Statement of Work will be measured by 3rd party tools such as Google Analytics and Google Search Console, and from internal metrics. Customer shall provide access to Rellify to such tools and the Customer CMS during the time agreed in the Statement of Work in order to perform Services.
2.4. Late Payments. Payments by Customer on undisputed charges that are past due will be subject to interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on that overdue balance. Customer will be responsible for any costs resulting from collection by Rellify of any such overdue balance, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.
3. Term and Termination
3.1. Term. These terms will commence on the Effective Date in the Statement of Work and will remain in effect until terminated in accordance with this Section 3.
3.2. Termination for Breach. A party may terminate any Statement of Work, if the other party is in material breach of these terms or Statement of Work and has not cured the breach within thirty (30) days of written notice, setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of the breach. Consent to extend the cure period for breaches other than nonpayment of fees will not be unreasonably withheld, so long as the breaching party has commenced cure during the thirty (30) day notice period and pursues cure of the breach in good faith.
3.3. Effect of Termination. Termination of any Statement of Work will not limit either party from pursuing any other remedies available to it, including injunctive relief, nor will termination relieve Customer of its obligation to pay all charges that accrued prior to such termination. The parties’ rights and obligations under Sections 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 of the Rellify Terms of Service will survive termination of any Statement of Work.
4. Indemnities
4.1. Subject to Section 6 (Limitation of Liability), each party (“Provider”) will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other party (“Recipient”) against any damages claimed by a third party that any information, design, specification, instruction, software, data, or material furnished by the Provider (“Material”) and used by the Recipient hereunder infringes a U.S. patent or copyright or misappropriates any trade secret and pay all costs, damages and expenses finally awarded against the Recipient by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to in a written settlement signed by the Provider, provided that: (a) the Recipient notifies the Provider in writing within fifteen (15) days of the claim; (b) the Provider has sole control of the defense and all related settlement negotiations; and (c) the Recipient provides the Provider with the assistance, information, and authority reasonably necessary to perform the above.
4.2. The Provider will have no liability for any claim of infringement resulting from: (a) the Recipient’s use of a superseded release of some or all of the Material, if infringement would have been avoided by the use of a subsequent release of the Material which the Provider provides to the Recipient; (b) any information, design, specification, instruction, software, data, or material not furnished by the Provider; (c) modifications to the Material not made by the Provider; (d) any combination of the Material with material not provided by the Provider, which combination is the basis for such claim; or (e) any Material which is infringing as a result of being based on designs, specifications, or instructions provided by the Recipient.
4.3. In the event that some or all of the Material is held or is believed by the Provider to infringe, the Provider will have the option, at its expense: (a) to modify the Material to be non-infringing or replace it with non-infringing material; or (b) to obtain for the Recipient a license to continue using the Material. If it is not commercially feasible to perform either of the above options, then the Provider may require from the Recipient return of the infringing Material and all rights thereto. This Section 4.1 states the parties’ entire liability and exclusive remedy for third party allegations of intellectual property infringement.
