These Professional Services Terms (PSA Terms) form part of the Master Agreement between Client and 9326839 CANADA INC. dba CloudStack Services (CSS) and set out the terms and conditions on which CSS will provide professional services to Client. Capitalized terms used in these PSA Terms and not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Software Terms or other addenda to the Master Agreement.
1. Services
1.1. Professional Services consist of either (i) Basic Implementation Services (as defined in Section 1.2); or (ii) Custom Implementation Services (as defined in Section 1.2) all subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of these PSA Terms.
2. Implementation Services
2.1. Custom Implementation Services means those software implementation services, training, and additional support services as described in a statement of work as may be agreed upon between the parties in writing (each a Statement of Work or SOW).
2.2. Statements of Work. Each SOW shall contain, unless the parties hereto agree otherwise, a description of the Professional Services to be provided. A SOW may also contain additional terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed by the parties hereto. Each SOW shall be incorporated into and form part of these PSA Terms and the Master Agreement. CSS shall commence the provision of the Professional Services pursuant to the dates specified in such SOW, and the Professional Services shall continue until completed or earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of these PSA Terms or an applicable SOW if additional or different termination terms are included. CSS agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Professional Services in accordance with any delivery schedule specified in each SOW. Client agrees that the Professional Services and delivery timetable shall be adjusted to proportionately and reasonably reflect: (a) mutually agreed upon delays confirmed in writing by each party; (b) delays to the extent attributable to Client’s failure to: (i) respond to or answer any reasonable questions and inquiries of CSS or (ii) provide CSS with such information or data that is reasonably requested by CSS and/or necessary for the performance of the Professional Services; and (c) delays to the extent attributable to a request by Client for changes to the Professional Services, and consideration and potential implementation by CSS, of any such requested change(s). A party may terminate any SOW in progress if: (i) the other party has breached any material provision of the Master Agreement (including the PSA Terms) or a SOW, and such breach continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof; or (ii) the other party becomes the subject of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or other similar proceedings; or (iii) to the extent expressly provided for in a particular SOW.
3. Changes
CSS shall not be obligated or responsible for making any changes, additions or deletions to the Professional Services. Client may, from time to time, request changes to the scope of the Professional Services described in a SOW in accordance with the applicable SOW. In response to any such request from Client, CSS shall determine the feasibility of providing such changes and shall estimate the increase in the total fees payable for providing such changes to the Professional Services. Following receipt of CSS’s response to Client’s request, the parties hereto shall negotiate an amended SOW (or written change order) which sets outs the changes to the Professional Services and the additional fees payable in respect thereof.
4. Client Responsibilities
Client shall for the purpose of enabling CSS to perform the Professional Services be responsible to: (a) provide or make available all information reasonably required by CSS; (b) provide access to any Client facilities, Client Data, Client Systems and Client personnel who possess skills and knowledge appropriate to the service obligations to be performed by such personnel; (c) provide CSS with any and all of Client’s staff, office space, items and materials that are reasonably required by CSS to perform the Professional Services, including as may be expressly specified in a SOW. Client shall (only if and to the extent necessary); (d) perform its obligations and responsibilities set out and described in a SOW, if any; and (e) provide reasonable assistance, cooperation and to facilitate the provision of the Professional Services, including the prompt provision of information and assistance that CSS may request and reasonably require in order to perform its obligations hereunder. In the event that Client fails to provide to CSS elements in subsections (a) through (e) above, sufficient for CSS to progress on an agreed to or otherwise reasonable delivery schedule, CSS will reserve the right to invoice up to 10% of the total project hours on a monthly basis to compensate for retained resources and project management. CSS will not be liable for loss or damage or errors arising from reliance on any such information supplied by Client.
4.1. Client Performance. The parties agree and acknowledge that CSS’s performance of the Professional Services shall be conditional upon, and subject to, Client’s performance of its obligations hereunder (including any obligations specified in a SOW), and that CSS shall not be liable or responsible, in any manner or to any extent, for any failure of CSS to perform all, or any part of, the Professional Services to the extent that any such failure is caused by, due to or contributed to a failure of Client to perform its obligations.
