1Tech – Professional Services Terms & Conditions

  1. SERVICES

1Tech shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the services described in each SOW (“Professional Services”), either directly or through a subcontractor. Client shall provide 1Tech in a timely manner, at no charge to 1Tech (i) reasonable assistance and cooperation, and (ii) all applicable software, equipment, documentation, content and other materials necessary for the purpose of enabling 1Tech to perform such services. 1Tech is not responsible for the provision of any direct support or maintenance, or new releases, enhancements or updates, of the Deliverables (as defined below). The Client’s obligations set forth herein, including but not limited to all payment obligations, are independent of any obligations, including payment obligations that arise from other agreements between 1Tech and Client.

  1. LICENSE GRANT AND RESTRICTIONS

1Tech grants Client a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable perpetual (subject only to the provisions of clause 3) licence to install and use internally the Deliverables. Client shall not: (i) cause or permit any reverse engineering, decompilation, modification, translation or disassembly of the Deliverables; (ii) sell, rent, sublicense, distribute, assign or otherwise transfer any rights in the Deliverables; (iii) disclose results of any benchmark tests of any Deliverables to any third party; unless this is a specific deliverable of the solution as set out in the SOW. Client shall not access or use any unexposed API (Application Programmer’s Interface) or other development tool or capability of the Deliverables which is not directly accessible. Save for anything supplied to 1Tech by the Client, 1Tech owns all right in and to all software, technology, information, data, documents, and other work product developed by 1Tech or its subcontractors in connection with the Professional Services and provided by 1Tech under the relevant Statement of Work (“Deliverables”). 1Tech reserves all rights not expressly granted herein to Client. In all circumstances, all software, technology, information, data, documents, and other work product owned by one party prior to the commencement of the SOW shall remain the sole property of that party.

  1. CONSIDERATION

Client shall pay to 1Tech the fees specified in, and in accordance with, the applicable SOW (the “Fees”). If any valid and undisputed Fees payment is overdue, 1Tech shall be entitled, without limiting its other remedies under this Agreement or otherwise, to suspend providing the Professional Services by prior written notice to the Client until such payment is made in full. Where a valid and undisputed Fees payment is overdue 1Tech shall be entitled, without limiting its other remedies under this Agreement or otherwise, to request the return of all Deliverables to which the overdue Fees payment relates and the Client shall if so requested by 1Tech forthwith return all such Deliverables to 1Tech and cease use of such Deliverables until such time as Fees payment is made. 1Tech may increase the Fee if: (a) the content of the Professional Services increases beyond what is agreed to in the applicable SOW; (b) Client requires any material change to the nature or scope of the Professional Services or any additional work not referred to in the SOW; or (c) any agreed time-table in which the Professional Services are to be performed is amended, the revised Fee being calculated on a time and materials basis at 1Tech’s then standard time and materials rate for the additional Professional Services provided.

  1. TERMINATION

(a) This Agreement may be terminated by the Client through written notice at any time. Should this agreement be terminated less than 20 business days prior to the Estimated Start Date (other than due to 1Tech’s material breach or failure) 1Tech shall be entitled to invoice the Client for any evidenced costs or resources which it has reasonably and properly incurred or scheduled in contemplation of start of the engagement, and which 1Tech cannot reasonably avoid or allay. The Professional Services can be later rescheduled under a revised Statement of Work. (b) Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason (other than due to 1Tech’s material breach or failure), in respect of fixed price work, the Client will pay 1Tech all monies properly due to 1Tech for Deliverables completed together with a pro rata portion of the fixed sum proportionate to the portion of the next Milestone which has been performed up to the date of termination. 1Tech shall also be entitled to invoice the Client for any additional evidenced costs or resources which it has reasonably and properly incurred or scheduled in relation to the work, and which 1Tech cannot reasonably avoid or allay. (c) Upon termination of this Agreement by the Client for any reason (other than due to 1Tech’s material breach or failure), in respect of time and materials work, the Client will pay 1Tech for all time completed and materials consumed up to the date of termination. 1Tech shall also be entitled to invoice the Client for any additional evidenced costs or resources which it has reasonably and properly incurred or scheduled in relation to the work, and which 1Tech cannot reasonably avoid or allay. (d) This Agreement may be terminated upon twenty (20) days written notice by either party if the other party materially breaches or materially fails to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and fails to remedy the breach or failure prior to the expiry of such notice period. Upon termination by 1Tech under clause 4(d), all rights granted to Client hereunder shall cease and Client shall immediately remove and destroy all copies of the Deliverables or any part thereof. The provisions of this Agreement, other than Clause 1 (“Services”), shall survive termination

  1. ACCEPTANCE

Unless otherwise stated in the SOW (a) completion of a Deliverable (“Completion”) shall be deemed to be upon 1Tech notifying the Client in writing that the Deliverable has been completed in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and delivering the Deliverable to the Client and (b) Client shall be deemed to have accepted the Deliverable as complete (“Acceptance”) 14 days following Completion unless it notifies 1Tech that such Deliverable is rejected as it is not in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. If the Client rejects any Deliverable, 1Tech shall promptly rectify the Deliverable so that it is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and deliver the Deliverable to the Client again for inspection, and the provisions of this clause 5 shall apply to such re-delivered Deliverable.

  1. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the parties. The relationship between the parties shall be that of independent contractors. Neither party has the right to assume or create any obligation or responsibility on behalf of the other. 1Tech may prepare a press release related to this Agreement which, subject to Client written approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, may include an appropriate quote from Client designated senior executive.

  1. WARRANTY

1Tech warrants that it will perform the Professional Services in a professional and workmanlike manner. EXCEPT FOR THE FOREGOING EXPRESS WARRANTY SET FORTH IN THIS CLAUSE, TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE LAW, 1Tech MAKES NO WARRANTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY SOW), EXPRESS, STATUTORY OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY NON-INFRINGEMENT AND QUALITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.

  1. PERSONNEL

Neither party will, during the continuance of this Agreement and for a period of 12 months afterwards, either directly, or indirectly, offer employment either directly or indirectly to any of the directors, staff or consultants of the other party involved in the Professional Services provided under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party.

  1. DATA PROTECTION

the personal data only to the extent, and in such manner, as is necessary for the provision of the Professional Services or as is required by law or any regulatory body; (iii) implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, damage, alteration or disclosure. These measures shall be appropriate to the harm which might result from any unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction or damage to the personal data and having regard to the nature of the personal data which is to be protected; (iv) obtain prior written consent from the Client in order to transfer the personal data to any sub-contractors or third parties for the provision of the Professional Services; and (v) not process or otherwise transfer any personal data outside the European Economic Area.

  1. BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION

Both parties shall comply with all applicable laws, statutes, regulations relating to anti-bribery and anti-corruption including but not limited to the Bribery Act 2010 and not engage in any activity, practice or conduct which would constitute an offence under the Bribery Act 2010 if such activity, practice or conduct had been carried out in the UK; promptly report to the other party any request or demand which if complied with would amount to a breach of this Agreement; ensure that any person associated with it who is performing services in connection with this Agreement does so only on the basis of a written contract which imposes on and secures from such person terms equivalent to those imposed on both parties in this clause. Breach of this clause shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.

  1. MISCELLANEOUS

Except as may be amended by a mutually executed amendment, these Terms and Conditions and the applicable SOW(s) are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersede any other agreement or pre-printed terms and conditions that may appear on any purchase order relating to the terms hereof and no offer to supply the Services in a SOW shall be deemed to have been made on terms other than as set out herein. Neither the rights nor the obligations arising under this Agreement are assignable or transferable by Client, and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void and without effect. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with English law and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. The waiver by either party of a breach of the Agreement or any right hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach of the Agreement; nor shall any delay by either party to exercise any right under this Agreement operate as a waiver of any such right. Any notice, report, approval or consent required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been effectively given: (a) immediately upon personal delivery or facsimile transmission (receipt confirmed and with a confirmation copy sent by post) to the parties to be notified, (b) one day after deposit with a commercial overnight courier with tracking capabilities, or (c) on the fifth day following posting, if posted by international first class or recorded post postage pre-paid, in each case addressed at such address as set forth in the SOW. If any provision of the Agreement shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and be enforceable. The parties agree that a material breach of the Agreement adversely affecting 1Tech’s proprietary rights in the Deliverables would cause irreparable injury to 1Tech for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and that 1Tech shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law. The parties do not intend any term of this Agreement to be enforceable pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. Both parties will comply with their obligations under the Data Protection Act 1998.
