1. Services.

1.1 Nature of Services.

The Company provides managed services including, onboarding, data migration, integration, revenue operations enhancements, sales and marketing operations, inbound marketing, paid management, and search engine optimization, all with relation to HubSpot, and as reflected in an Order Form or Statement of Work (the “Services”).

1.2 Order Forms and Statements of Work.

Company shall provide to Customer the Services set out in one or more order form (each, and “Order Form”) and/or one or more statements of work (each, a “Statement of Work”), agreed by and between the Customer and the Company. Each Order Form or  Statement of Work shall describe the Services with such reasonable detail as the Parties may determine to be necessary and appropriate, with such details to include (but not be limited to), as applicable: description of Services, expected deliverables, anticipated timeframes, and associated fees.

1.3 Third-Party Licenses.

The Services may include, incorporate, utilize or work with other software, tools, applications, content, data or other materials, including related documentation, that are owned by persons other than the Company and that are provided to  Customer  on  license  terms  that  are  in  addition  to  and/or  different  from  those contained in this Agreement, including but not limited to HubSpot’s license terms (“Third-Party Licenses”). Customer agrees to be bound  by and shall comply with all Third-Party Licenses. Any breach by the Customer or any of its authorized users of any Third-Party License shall be considered a breach of this Agreement as well. 

1.4 Amendments to Statement of Work.

1. Either Party may request, in writing, changes to the Services, or to a specific Statement of Work (a “Change Request”), as further described in Section 1.4(b). Material changes to a Statement of Work include, but are not limited to, requests for changes in scope, risks, specifications, costs, schedule, designs, deliverables or other similar requirements. The Company shall not be obligated to perform tasks described in any such Change Request unless and until the Parties agree, in writing, to the proposed change. The Parties agree that they shall evaluate any duly served Change Request in good faith, and, if agreed, implement all such changes, and, upon any such agreement and implementation, any fees which have been agreed to be adjusted shall, thereafter, be so adjusted, in accordance with such written change order.
2. Any Change Request that a Party wishes to be considered shall be in writing, shall reference this Agreement, and any applicable Statement of Work (if applicable), and shall contain a reasonable and sufficient level of detail to allow the other Party to evaluate the same. The Company may prescribe a written form for purposes of the same, and, if so, each Party agrees to use such form. For the avoidance of doubt, e-mail shall suffice for provision and acceptance of written notice with respect to Change Requests but shall specifically state in the same writing that the request is a “Change Request.”
3. In addition to the foregoing, external project dependencies, which are not met and are not the responsibility of the Service Provider, may result in additional costs.

1.5. Privacy Policy.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that use of the Services may require Customer to provide certain personal information about its authorized users. Customer may also share certain personal data about its contacts or customers in connection with the provision of the Services.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer Delays may result in additional costs and expenses for Company, and that Customer shall be  responsible for the payment of all such additional costs and expenses that result from Customer Delays.

The term of such license will commence upon the Customer’s first delivery of Customer Materials to the Company, and shall expire automatically upon the earlier of (i) termination of this Agreement; or (ii) completion of the Order Form or Statement(s) of Work that require the Company to utilize Customer Materials.

This exception to the obligations of confidentiality and non-use is intended only to alleviate the possibility of inadvertent breach of this Agreement arising from routine, unaided memory retention by employees or other affiliates of the Company and is not intended to permit the Company to use or disclose information known to the Company to be Deliverables or Confidential Information subject to this Agreement.

7.2 Required Disclosure.

If the Receiving Party is required by applicable law or legal process to disclose any Confidential Information, it shall, prior to making such disclosure, use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Disclosing Party of  such requirements to afford the Disclosing Party the opportunity to seek, at the Disclosing Party’s sole cost and expense, a protective order or other remedy. 

7.3 Publicity.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7 to the contrary, Customer grants the Company the limited right to use the other Customer’s name and logo on customer lists and informational or promotional materials.

8.2 No Exclusive Duty.

The Company shall not be required to participate in the provision of Services to the Customer hereunder as its sole and exclusive function, and the Customer understands and acknowledges that the Company may have other business interests and may engage in other activities, in addition to those relating to the Customer, including the provision of the same or similar services to other customers and clients of the Company.
