The customer identified below (the “Customer”) desires ManagePoint Technologies Inc. (“ManagePoint”) to provide certain services.

  1. Services: Services (“Service(s)”) will be composed of the services and for the fees described on the Managed Service Agreement signed by the parties. Services may be added or changed from time to time by the parties entering into a change agreement or another Managed Service Agreement. Nothing in such an agreement may amend this Agreement unless it explicitly states that it is amending this Agreement, and refers to the section being amended. Any specifications, work requests, statements of work, budgets or other documents that are signed by the parties or explicitly incorporated by reference within other signed documents from time to time form part of this Agreement and the applicable Managed Service Agreement under which they are prepared.
  2. Fees: Customer will pay ManagePoint the one-time and recurring monthly fees specified in the applicable Managed Service Agreement. All amounts are subject to the payment of all applicable taxes. ManagePoint may change any fees payable under this Agreement by giving at least 90 days written notice in advance, which shall not commence prior to the end of any then current Term.

Pricing contained in a Managed Service Agreement may be based on certain assumptions and exclusions. If any assumptions and exclusions set out on a Managed Service Agreement turn out to be incorrect, ManagePoint may treat any additional work required as a change request from the Customer under the terms of Section 5 herein.

One-time fees are payable in advance or at the time the service is provided, as outlined in the applicable Managed Service Agreement. Recurring monthly fees and fees for other Services are payable monthly in arrears within 15 days of the date of invoice.

Any payments, or any deposits paid for any Services, are not refundable absent default by ManagePoint.

Any payment not made when due will be subject to interest of ten percent (10%) per month compounded monthly. Failure by the Customer to pay the invoiced amount within 15 days of the date of invoice may result in immediate termination of services without notice.

  1. Service Details: Customer shall nominate one individual as a contact for ManagePoint to perform the Services. Communications regarding the Services will only be between that contact and the ManagePoint contact specified on the applicable Managed Service Agreement. Either party may change that contact by giving written notice.

The Customer will be required to provide external internet access to ManagePoint for full, timely Services.

Without limiting the generality of other sections of this Agreement, ManagePoint shall not be responsible for any effects its actions cause to any of the Customer’s systems or data resulting from its ability to access systems other than that being supported.

The Customer will provide ManagePoint with any authorizations reasonably required for ManagePoint to contact the Customer’s service providers for the purpose of providing the Services.

If any Services are provided at the Customer’s location, the Customer must provide safe working conditions and access reasonably required to perform the Services.

ManagePoint may require the Customer to provide secure storage for hardware until ManagePoint installs it.

If the Customer desires to proceed with the change it must provide written authorization to proceed, in which case the change shall be deemed to be part of this Agreement.
  2. Third Party Software and Hardware: Any third party software or hardware required for the Services to operate must be purchased separately by the Customer unless explicitly provided by ManagePoint as part of a SOW. Third party software or hardware provided by ManagePoint is subject to the license, sales, limitation, warranty, return, and other terms of the relevant software or hardware vendor.
