Unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing with SureTech.com, Client’s agreement with SureTech.com will always include the terms and conditions set out in this Master Services Agreement (the “Agreement”). The Agreement forms a legally binding contract between Client and SureTech.com in relation to Client’s use of the Services. Accordingly, it is important that Client take the time to read this carefully.

2. ACCEPTING THE TERMS

Services shall be contracted for by a “Statement of Work” (defined below) or other subsequent written arrangement or course of conduct by the parties. However, in order to use the Services, Client must first accept this Agreement, and the performance of and payment for Services will be governed by this Agreement. Client may not request or use the Services if Client does not accept this Agreement.

Client can accept this Agreement by either:

  • Clicking to accept this Agreement and registering with SureTech.com wherever this option is made available to Client by SureTech.com in the user interface for any Services; or
  • by actually using any Services, in which case, Client understands and agrees that SureTech.com will treat Client’s use of the Services as acceptance of this Agreement from that point forward.

However, this Agreement shall not be binding upon Provider unless until acknowledgment of receipt and acceptance is given by Provider to Client.

Client may not use the Services and may not accept this Agreement if (a) Client is not able to form a binding contract with SureTech.com, or (b) Client is barred from receiving the Services under the law of the United States or any other applicable law. Before continuing, please print or save a local copy of this Agreement for your records.

3. SCOPE OF SERVICES

To the extent ordered through a Statement of Work or otherwise by authorized representatives of Client and Provider, Provider may providein its sole and absolute discretion some or all of the following Services:

Online Services

Provider may make available to Client hosted internet services, including TopazPort™, on industry-standard (or better) internet servers connected by a multi-redundant network to a major internet backbone, and will maintain network and hardware monitoring and maintenance services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Managed Third-Party Services

Provider may make available to Client third-party services and products from sources Provider believes to be reliable and of commercial or professional grade.

Consulting Services

Provider may render consulting Services and deliver customized materials (“Deliverables”) in accordance with Statements of Work (each, a “SOW”) as agreed to in writing by the parties, to be numbered sequentially. Without limiting the foregoing, Provider will review the Deliverables with Client’s personnel on a regular, ongoing basis as set forth in each SOW or as otherwise agreed upon by the parties. This Agreement shall govern the performance of and payment for Services that are the subject of a SOW; to the extent reasonable to do so, the terms of this Agreement and the content of any SOW shall be construed as consistent and complementary; in the case of an irreconcilable conflict, however, the terms of a SOW shall apply to Services performed or to be performed under that SOW (but not other SOWs).

In addition to the Services set forth in each SOW, Provider will provide such additional services as Client may request from time to time verbally or in written work authorizations that specify agreed-upon Deliverables (“Additional Services”). Wherever reasonable and appropriate, Provider will endeavor to summarize Deliverables for Additional Services in written emails sent to Client in advance of performing the Additional Services. All Additional Services shall be deemed rendered pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

4. SERVICE FEES AND HOURLY RATES

Client is responsible for reviewing and being aware of the Schedule of Fees (the “Schedule of Fees”), attached or listed at www.SureTech.com – the “SureTech web-site”), as it may be updated and provided to Client in the future, directly or by posting at the SureTech web-site. The Schedule of Fees is subject to change in Provider’s discretion. Provider will notify Client via email at least 30 days prior to the effectiveness of any change to the Schedule of Fees as applicable to Client.

Online Service Fees

Client agrees to pay Provider each month, in advance, the current fee listed in the Schedule of Fees for each Online Service requested by Client and provided to Client by Provider (the “Subscriber Fees”).

Custom Web-Sites, Custom Web Services, and TopazPort™ portal service

For certain websites and web services offered by Provider, Provider will maintain an auditable record of each unique user IP address that visits Client’s Web Site or Web Service in any 30-minute period (each, a “User Session”). If the Subscription Fee includes a minimum number of User Sessions per month (“Included Usage Limit”), as listed in the then current Schedule of Fees, then upon completion of Client’s free-trial period, if any, as consideration for hardware, infrastructure and bandwidth costs, Client agrees to pay an additional fee per User Session in excess of the Included Usage Limit at the end of each month (“Expanded Usage Fees”), as listed in the current Schedule of Fees.

Professional Consulting Services Fee

Subject to the terms hereof, Client will pay Provider the fees set forth in each SOW as well as the fees due for any Additional Services according to the current Schedule of Fees.

Payment Terms

Provider shall render invoices to Client each month for The Services as approved by Client. Provider shall maintain reasonable and adequate documentation substantiating all charges reflected thereon. Invoices shall be due and payable net fifteen (15) days from the date of delivery of the invoice to Client.

Payment for Services will be made in US dollars by a valid credit card accepted by Provider, or by any other means approved by Provider. Client warrants that the credit card number and information provided is and will be a valid credit card number belonging to Client with available credit sufficient to pay the fees for the Services; if Client cancels this credit card or it is otherwise terminated, Client will immediately furnish Provider with a new valid credit card. Client authorizes Provider, from time to time, to undertake steps to determine whether the credit card provided to us is valid, and to access and investigate the credit rating of Client.

Client hereby authorizes Provider to charge Client’s credit card for agreed upon and due amounts on a regular monthly basis beginning at the end of the free-trial period, if any. If Provider is for any reason unable to effect automatic payment via Client’s credit card, Provider will attempt to notify Client via email and access to Services may be disabled and/or discontinued at Provider’s sole discretion until payment is received. In addition late balances will accrue late charges of $110 plus three percent (3%) of the late balance per month payment is late, or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less. In addition, if Client fails to pay any amounts payable under this Agreement, then Client shall be responsible for all costs of collection, including reasonable legal fees.

Amounts paid for Services are not refundable.

5. CLIENT SATISFACTION

Provider strives for total client satisfaction. If and whenever Client is uncomfortable or dissatisfied in any way with the Services, Provider encourages Client to reach out to Provider promptly with its concerns, problems, and the like, so that the parties can work together to resolve those issues in a mutually acceptable manner. If at any time Client is not satisfied, Client may decline to continue subscription to the Online Services or to accept receipt of any Deliverables and also decline to make payment for any Deliverable promptly declined and not used (and returned to the extent tangible or otherwise practicable). No payment will be due and no charges will be made to Client’s credit card for any Deliverables or Services so declined by Client. Declining payment for unsatisfactory Deliverables or Services is the exclusive remedy for any unsatisfactory Deliverable or Services or for any breach or other default by Provider with respect to any Services provided or to be provided under this Agreement. Client agrees to explicitly and promptly notify Provider in writing of any declined Service and that Client’s acceptance, retention, or utilization of Services constitutes acceptance of the Services as satisfactory and of the corresponding obligation to pay for those Services as agreed.

IN NO EVENT SHALL PROVIDER OR PROVIDER’S AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE VENDORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE SERVICES AND/OR THE FAILURE TO PROPERLY PERFORM THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND EVEN IF A REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

13. MODIFICATIONS TO THIS MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Client agrees, during the term of this Agreement, that Provider may: (i) amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and/or (ii) modify or otherwise change components of the Services that may be provided pursuant to this Agreement. Any amendments will be effective thirty (30) days after written notification is sent to Client by email, or upon the mutual agreement of the parties to modify the terms of the Agreement in a writing signed by both parties hereto. By continuing to use Provider services after receiving notice of amendment to this Agreement, Client agrees to be bound by the Agreement as amended. No employee, contractor, agent or representative of Provider is authorized to alter the terms and conditions of this Agreement without a formal document specifically referring to this Agreement (and any specific provision being altered) duly signed by Provider.

This Agreement can be terminated upon 30 days’ prior written notice by Client; but the terms of this Agreement shall continue to apply to Services rendered prior to the effective date of termination. All sums due or to become due to Provider will be immediately due and payable upon such notice being given by Client.

Client agrees that non-payment of billable charges when due shall constitute, at Provider’s sole discretion, a Client request to terminate Services.

Provider may terminate Services under this Agreement for any reason with 3 months’ prior notice to Client and good-faith efforts during the notice period to assist Client with any Client efforts to maintain uninterrupted operations after service is terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Provider shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to immediately terminate this Agreement and discontinue any all Services hereunder in the event of a material breach by Client of the terms of this Agreement, which breach includes without limitation any non-payment, in whole or in part, of any invoice or other amounts due hereunder, which shall remain uncured for ten (10) days or more after Provider's delivery of a notice thereof to Client.

15. NON-SOLICITATION

During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, Client agrees not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, recruit or employ any employee of Provider without the prior written consent of the chief executive officer of Provider. Client acknowledges that its failure to honor this non-solicitation provision could result in Provider suffering irreparable harm. As the exact amount of such damages cannot be readily quantified, upon a breach of this non-solicitation provision, Client shall pay to Provider, as liquidated damages (and not a penalty), the sum of $50,000 for each such breach. Neither the existence of that liquidated-damages provision nor payment of liquidated damages for any such breach in any way limits Provider’s additional right to seek injunctive or any other equitable remedies respecting any such breach or continuing breach. In addition, during the term of this Agreement, and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, Provider agrees not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, recruit or employ, any employee of Client without written consent from Client.

16. FORCE MAJEURE

Provider shall not be liable for nonperformance, delay, errors, data loss, and/or any other loss or damage caused in whole or in part by any event beyond Provider's reasonable control, including, but not limited to acts of God, war, hostilities, revolution, civil disorder, national emergency, strikes, lockouts, unavailability of supplies, breakdown of plant or machinery, default of suppliers or sub-contractors, epidemics, fire, flood, earthquake, storm, force of nature, explosion, embargo, or any law, proclamation, regulation, ordinance, or other act or order of any court, government, or governmental agency.

17. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR

The relationship of Provider and Client established by this Agreement is that of independent contractors (and not, without limitation, any employment relationship), and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to (i) give either party the power to direct and control the day-to-day activities of the other; (ii) deem the parties to be acting as partners, joint venturers, co-owners, or otherwise as participants in a joint undertaking, or as having a fiduciary duty toward one another; or (iii) allow either party to create or assume any obligation on behalf of the other party for any purpose whatsoever.

18. NOTICES

Any notice or other similar communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing or contemporaneously confirmed in writing and may be sent by any conventional and reasonable means, including without limitation by email, facsimile transmission, or other method of electronic communication, to one or more of the respective principals and/or employees of the party regularly dealing with matters relating to the subject matter of this Agreement; provided, however, that any notice (x) alleging a breach or default, or an event or condition that if not remedied or cured would become a breach or default, on the part of the other party to this Agreement, or (y) terminating or purporting to terminate this Agreement, or (z) declining or rejecting any Deliverable or Service, must be sent by (i) personal delivery; (ii) established overnight courier; or (iii) certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, addressed and delivered, (a) in the case of Provider, to SureTech.com, Topaz Group Ventures, Inc., 332 Wall Street, Princeton, NJ 08540, USA, Attention: President], and (b) in the case of Client, to it at the address and to the attention of the person or office listed in the information furnished by Client in connection with Client’s acceptance of this Agreement. Either party may change its contact person for notices and/or address for notice by means of notice to the other party given in accordance with this section.

19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

In the case of any disputes or claims under or otherwise concerning this Agreement, the parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve their dispute informally, or by means of commercial mediation, without the necessity of a formal proceeding.

Any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, which cannot otherwise be resolved informally as provided above shall be resolved by arbitration conducted in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitral tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitration tribunal shall consist of a single arbitrator mutually agreed by the parties, or in the absence of such agreement within thirty (30) calendar days from the first referral of the dispute to the AAA, designated by the AAA. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York, USA, unless the parties shall have agreed to another location within fifteen (15) calendar days from the first referral of the dispute to the AAA. The arbitral award shall be final and binding. The parties waive any right to appeal the arbitral award, to the extent a right to appeal may be lawfully waived. Each party retains the right to seek judicial assistance: (i) to compel arbitration, (ii) to obtain interim measures of protection prior to or pending arbitration, (iii) to seek injunctive relief in the courts of any jurisdiction as may be necessary and appropriate to protect the unauthorized disclosure of its proprietary or confidential information, and (iv) to enforce any decision of the arbitrator, including the final award.

The arbitration proceedings contemplated by this section shall be as confidential and private as permitted by law. To that end, the parties shall not disclose the existence, content or results of any proceedings conducted in accordance with this section, and materials submitted in connection with such proceedings shall not be admissible in any other action or other proceeding, provided, however, that this confidentiality provision shall not prevent a petition to vacate or enforce an arbitral award, and shall not bar disclosures required by law.]

20. GOVERNING LAW

Any disputes related to the Services provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be governed in all respects by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules.

21. INTERPRETATION; MISCELLANEOUS

Client may not, without the prior written consent of Provider, assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, either voluntarily or by operation of law, and any attempt to do so shall be a material default of this Agreement and shall be void. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors, and permitted assigns. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed waived or modified, except by an instrument in writing specifically doing so and duly executed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced. If any words or phrases in this Agreement have been stricken out or otherwise eliminated (in a rider or similar addendum, a SOW, or otherwise), whether or not any other words or phrases have been added, this Agreement shall be construed as though the words or phrases so stricken out or otherwise eliminated were never included in this Agreement, and no implication or inference shall be drawn from the fact that those words or phrases were so stricken out or otherwise eliminated. This Agreement is solely to establish various rights between the parties to this Agreement, and no “third-party” or other person shall be entitled to any rights or benefits from this Agreement or to rely on this Agreement in any way. This Agreement shall be construed fairly without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring or permitting inference or construction against the party causing this agreement to be drafted. Section headings are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning this Agreement.

22. SEVERABILITY

The terms of this Services Agreement are severable. If any term or provision is declared invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, that term or provision will not affect the remainder of this Agreement; this Agreement will be deemed amended to the extent necessary to make this Agreement enforceable, valid and, to the maximum extent possible consistent with applicable law and consistent with the original intentions of the parties; and the remaining terms and provisions will remain in effect.

23. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This Agreement, including agreed upon SOWs, is entered into in good faith by Client and Provider and constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between Provider and Client with respect to the Services contemplated, and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous oral or written representation, understanding, agreement, or communication between Provider and Client concerning the subject matter hereof.
