During the Term of this Agreement, WHIM may provide Services pursuant to one or more mutually agreed upon Statements of Work (“SOW”) in the form of Exhibit A (or other form generally understood between the parties to describe certain work to be performed).

          5.2 Client and Third-Party Responsibilities.

          6.1 Limited License. Upon its creation by WHIM, WHIM hereby grants Client an exclusive (except as to WHIM), worldwide, nontransferable, revocable license to use, reproduce, and distribute Work Product for Client’s internal business purposes only.

  1. Preexisting Intellectual Property. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any and all routines, methodologies, processes, libraries, tools, or technologies created, adapted or used by WHIM in its business generally, including all associated intellectual property rights (collectively, the “Development Tools”), shall be and remain the exclusive property of WHIM, and Client shall have no interest in or claim to the Development Tools, except as may be necessary to exercise its rights in any Work Product. In addition, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, WHIM shall be free to use any ideas, concepts, or know-how developed or acquired by WHIM during the performance of this Agreement to the extent obtained and retained by WHIM’s personnel as impression and general learning.

          11.1 Deposit. Upon the execution of a SOW (or a Change Order that involves additional cost or expense), WHIM may require Client to pay an upfront deposit to be applied against future billings on the SOW (the “Deposit”). Upon exhaustion of the Deposit, WHIM reserves the right to request subsequent Deposits of equal amounts before performing additional work. If any portion of a Deposit remains unbilled upon the completion of a SOW or upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Client shall be entitled to apply such amount towards another SOW or to receive a refund of such amount within thirty (30) days of requesting such refund in writing. Any refunds not requested by Client or applied to another SOW within twelve (12) months of such time shall be deemed earned by WHIM and no longer subject to refund.

 

          11.2 Payment Terms; Invoicing. Except as otherwise provided in an applicable SOW, any amounts billed for Services performed under a SOW (not covered by a Deposit) shall be due within thirty (30) days of invoice – Net 30. WHIM reserves the right to stop work to Client as a result of late payment. Past due amounts may be subject to up to 1.5% annual interest to be applied in WHIM’s discretion. Any payments more than sixty (60) days past due shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement by Client. Whim may invoice client for services performed according to a schedule Whim deems appropriate.

 

          11.3 Fast Pay Discount. WHIM may, in its sole discretion, offer Client a percentage discount for faster payment. In such case, such discount will be provided on the applicable invoice.

 

  1. Support Services. Upon mutual agreement, the parties may enter into a Support Agreement (“SA”) in the form of Exhibit C, which shall provide for Support Services to be provided by WHIM on a subscription basis. A SA shall be valid and enforceable under the terms of this Agreement upon being accepted by the parties and, upon such acceptance, shall be incorporated into this Agreement.

 

  1. Support Term; Payment for Support Services. Following the execution of a SA, Support Services shall commence on the Start Date specified in the SA and shall continue on a month-to-month basis until either this Agreement is terminated according to its terms or the SA is cancelled by a party by giving written notice of cancellation to the other party, whichever comes first.

  1. Timing of Delivery. Regardless of any specific timing or delivery schedules or estimates provided in an applicable SOW or Change Order, Client acknowledges that the Services rendered hereunder are of a complex nature and that occasional delays in delivery sometimes occur. Minor delays in delivery by WHIM shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. If WHIM expects a delay in delivery to occur, WHIM will make commercially reasonable efforts to keep Client apprised of such delay.

 

  1. Acceptance; Right to Cure. Within thirty (30) days of the delivery of any Services provided hereunder, Client shall notify WHIM of any dissatisfaction it may have with WHIM’s performance relating thereto, including with respect to any “acceptance testing,” otherwise, Client’s acceptance of such Services shall be presumed and any claim(s) Client may have concerning such matter shall be deemed discharged and waived.

          Within thirty (30) days of WHIM receiving notice of any such dissatisfaction, WHIM shall have the right to (1) object to or provide an explanation concerning such dissatisfaction; (2) resolve any such dissatisfaction through as many separate attempts as may be necessary within thirty (30) days; and/or (3) refund some or all of Client’s payment or payments related to such Services to Client’s satisfaction to resolve the matter. Upon accepting any such resolution, the matter shall be deemed finally settled and Client agrees fully release and forever discharge WHIM from and against any and all such claims, actions, demands, rights, causes of action, and liabilities, whether in law or in equity, with respect to such matter.

  1. Termination. Either party may immediately terminate this Agreement if a bankruptcy proceeding is instituted against the other party which is acquiesced in and not dismissed within sixty (60) days or results in an adjudication of bankruptcy, or the other party materially breaches any of its representations, warranties, or obligations under this Agreement. Either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason at all by providing sixty (60) days written notice to the other party. Termination shall not relieve Client of its obligation to pay any amount owed under this Agreement.

  1. Employee Nonsolicitation. Client agrees not to solicit WHIM’s employees or subcontractors during the Term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year thereafter without the prior written permission of WHIM. Client acknowledges that WHIM provides a valuable service by identifying and assigning personnel for Client’s work and further acknowledges that Client would receive substantial additional value, and WHIM would be deprived of the benefits of its work force, if Client were to employ or retain WHIM’s personnel after they have been introduced to Client by WHIM.
