If the services are made available to any Customer Affiliate(s) according to the terms of this services agreement, then the term “Customer” shall also include such Customer Affiliate(s) identified in a work order. Systems X will provide services under this services agreement only to Customer’s (or a Customer Affiliate’s).

4. FEES

4.1. Invoice and Payment

The fees for Customer’s services are determined under the terms of the applicable work order covering such services. Any other amounts due under this services agreement (collectively, the “fees”) are quoted and payable in United States dollars. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable work order, all fees (except for any disputed fees then subject to a billing dispute under Section 4.6) shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Customer shall provide Systems X with complete and accurate billing and contact information, including a valid email address for receipt of invoices. All fees and payment obligations for services under any work orders are non-cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable, and quantities purchased cannot be decreased.

4.2. Incidental and Project Expenses

Customer shall reimburse Systems X for all reasonable travel, food, lodging, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the services’ performance and provision. If Systems X incurs any additional of the preceding or additional costs or expenses in providing the services, such expenses may be invoiced separately.

4.3. Overdue Payments

Without limiting the rights and remedies available to Systems X under this services agreement or by Law, any fees not paid by Customer (except for any disputed fees then subject to a billing dispute under Section 4.6) within thirty (30) days of the invoice date shall accrue late charges at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date paid, plus all reasonable expenses and fees for collection (including attorneys’ fees and court and administrative costs).

4.4. Taxes

The fees are exclusive of all shipping costs and federal, state, and local sales, value-added taxes, goods and services taxes, use, excise, service, transaction, gross receipts or similar taxes imposed on the services (collectively, “Taxes”), all of which Customer agrees to pay, excluding taxes assessable against Systems X on its income, property, and employees. Customer shall make all payments required without deduction of any Taxes, except as required by law, in which case the amount payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making any required deductions and withholdings, Systems X receives and retains (free from any liability for payment of Taxes) an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

If Customer’s account is more than thirty (30) days past due (except for any disputed fees then subject to a billing dispute under Section 4.6), in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have under this services agreement or by Law, Systems X reserves the right to cease providing any or all services currently being performed or to be performed for Customer, without liability to Systems X for such suspension. Such services shall only be resumed if Customer pays the full amount of such invoiced fees (except for any disputed fees then subject to a billing dispute under Section 4.6) are paid in full.

4.6. Billing Disputes

Any dispute involving invoiced fees (a “billing dispute”) must be in writing and submitted to Systems X within thirty (30) days of the invoice date and include a reasonably detailed statement describing the nature and amount of the disputed fees as well as the reasonable and good faith bases for why a credit or refund is being requested (a “billing dispute notice”). Customer shall cooperate with Systems X to promptly address and attempt to resolve any billing dispute submitted in accordance herewith. Customer acknowledges and agrees that in the event Customer does not present a billing dispute notice in accordance with the foregoing, Customer waives all rights to dispute such invoice, and all fees outlined in such an invoice will be considered correct and binding on Customer. Notwithstanding any dispute of invoiced fees commenced in accordance with this Section 4.6, Customer shall remain obligated to pay all undisputed fees within thirty (30) days of the invoice date.

Each party shall be and remain fully liable and responsible for its Representatives’ unauthorized disclosure or use of the other party’s confidential information. Each party may confidentially disclose the terms of this services agreement to any actual or potential financing source or acquirer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Systems X may disclose the terms of these services terms and any applicable work order to a subcontractor or third party provider to the extent necessary to perform Systems X’s obligations to Customer under this services agreement, under terms of confidentiality materially as protective as those set forth herein.

THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS CUMULATIVE FOR ALL CLAIMS IN ANY MATTER RELATED TO THIS SERVICES AGREEMENT AND IS NOT PER INCIDENT.

9.2. Commencement of Actions; Mitigation of Damages.

No party may commence any action under these services terms or a work order more than one (1) year after the breach or event giving rise to the claim for damages and indemnification. The claiming party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate and avoid any damages.

10. TERM; TERMINATION

10.1. Work Orders

Unless otherwise provided in a work order, the term of each work order shall expire on the earlier of (a) the date of expiration of such work order or cessation of such services, as specified therein; or (b) Systems X’s completion of the services described therein (the “term”).

10.2. Applicability of these Services Terms

The term of these services commences as of the date these services terms are accepted by Customer under the terms herein and shall remain in effect and apply to each work order executed by the parties until all work orders have expired or been terminated hereunder.

10.3. Termination

(a) Either party may terminate a work order or, at the election of the terminating party, this services agreement (i) upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party of a material breach by the other party if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such notice period; or (ii) immediately in the event the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors. If this services agreement is terminated, these services terms and all work orders are simultaneously terminated. Notwithstanding any terms to the contrary in this services agreement, if any amounts owed by Customer (except for any disputed fees then in dispute under Section 4.6) are not fully paid when due following Section 10.3 herein, Customer shall be in material breach of this services agreement and, in addition to its other rights and remedies at law or in equity, Systems X may terminate this services agreement and cease providing all services, effective immediately upon delivery of the written notice to Customer.

(b) If Customer terminates this services agreement or any work order before the expiration of the end of the Term for Systems X’s uncured breach, Customer shall be entitled to a refund of all pre-paid fees for the services paid for but not provided by Systems X beyond the effective date of termination. If prior to the expiration of the Term, (i) Customer terminates this services agreement or any work order before the completion of all services purchased hereunder and such termination is not due to Systems X’s uncured breach; or (ii) Systems X terminates this services agreement or any work order due to Customer’s uncured breach (collectively, a “Customer early termination”) and Customer has not already paid in advance the full amount of all fees due under each work order for the services purchased in accordance with the terms herein, Customer shall pay Systems X an early termination charge equal to all fees, including all applicable Taxes, outlined in each work order which would otherwise be due through the end of the entire Term of such work order (the “early termination fee”). The parties agree that the actual damages resulting from a Customer early termination are difficult to ascertain, and the early termination fee is a reasonable estimate of anticipated actual damages and not a penalty. Customer agrees and acknowledges that the early termination fee shall apply even if Customer terminates this services agreement or any work order prior to Systems X commencing performance of any services under this services agreement. The early termination fee shall be due and payable within ten (10) days of the effective date of termination, and any prepaid fees will be applied towards the amount of the early termination fee.

11. MODIFICATIONS AND AMENDMENTS TO SERVICES TERMS

11.1. Modifications and Amendments.

Systems X may, at any time and in its sole discretion, amend these services terms, if any such amendment(s) does not adversely and materially affect the quality of services provided by Systems X to Customer or change the rates quoted in any work order. The revised services terms will become effective as to Customer on the earlier of (a) the first day after Customer and Systems X sign a new work order that incorporates the revised version of the services terms by reference; or (b) thirty (30) days following Systems X’s written notice to Customer that a revised version of the services terms has been posted at https://www.sytems-x.com/en-us/psa.

11.2. Customer’s Rights.

If Customer’s compliance with the revised or amended version of the services terms would materially or adversely affect Customer’s use of the services or any work product provided under a work order and Customer gives written notice of its objection to the revised services terms no later than ten (10) business days following the date that the revised services terms would otherwise have become effective as to Customer, Systems X will not enforce the revision(s) to such services terms as to Customer until thirty (30) days following the date the revision(s) would otherwise have become effective as to Customer and Customer will continue to be subject to the prior version of the services terms. During the thirty (30) day period, Customer may elect to terminate the work order on these grounds by giving written notice to Systems X, which must be received by Systems X during such thirty (30) day period, or such termination right shall be deemed to be waived by Customer. Systems X will not charge Customer an early termination fee for a termination on these grounds. Suppose Customer does not elect to terminate the work order during the thirty (30) day period. In that case, the revised version of the services terms will become effective as to Customer and apply to the work order (and all other work orders) as of the end of the thirty (30) day period. If Customer elects to terminate the work order in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.2, Systems X, in its sole discretion, may elect to waive application of the revised services terms as to Customer and continue to apply, for the remainder of the term of the work order, the version of the services terms that was in effect prior to the date that the revised version of the services terms was posted at https://www.sytems-x.com/en-us/psa.

12. GENERAL PROVISIONS

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a party is acquired by, sells substantially all of its assets to, or undergoes a change of control in favor of, a direct competitor of the other party, then such other party may terminate this services agreement upon written notice.
