1.1 Scope of Services. MSAB shall perform the consulting and/or other professional services specified and more fully described in the quote, purchase order, statement of work or other agreement (collectively, the “SOW”) between the Parties for the performance of services (the “Services”) that expressly references these Terms. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the SOW shall be deemed to incorporate the terms and conditions of these Terms, (ii) the terms and conditions of these Terms shall prevail over any inconsistent terms and conditions set forth in the SOW, unless the SOW explicitly provides that a specific provision therein supersedes a specific provision of these Terms, and (iii) the termination of these Terms shall terminate the SOW.

1.2 Delivery and Acceptance. The Services, including any Deliverables (as defined below), shall conform in all material respects to the specifications set forth in the SOW. Customer shall evaluate each Deliverable within the time period specified for such Deliverable in the SOW, or if no such period is specified in the SOW then within fifteen (15) days after delivery by MSAB (in either such case, the “Acceptance Period”), and notify MSAB in writing within the Acceptance Period of any manner in which the Services or Deliverables do not meet the specifications set forth in the SOW. MSAB shall promptly correct any such deficiency which it deems valid and for which it receives written notice within the Acceptance Period. If Customer does not provide such notice within the Acceptance Period, the Services, and any Deliverables, will be deemed accepted.

1.3 Manner of Performance. The Services and all Deliverables relating thereto shall be performed and delivered by MSAB in a timely, professional and workmanlike manner and in accordance with the implementation milestones and work phases (if any) agreed to by the Parties and reflected in the SOW, which may be amended by mutual written agreement of the Parties. MSAB shall have the right to (a) control and direct the means, manner, and method by which the Services are performed, and (b) perform the Services at any place or location and at such time as MSAB may determine reasonable. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, MSAB shall (i) observe the working hours, working rules, and policies of Customer, of which MSAB shall have been advised, while working on Customer’s premises, and (ii) be responsible for all equipment, software, hardware and other materials required by MSAB to provide the Services.

1.4 Customer Obligations. MSAB’s ability to deliver the Services will depend on Customer’s reasonable and timely cooperation and the accuracy and completeness of any information from Customer needed for MSAB to deliver the Services. Customer agrees to ensure access to and the availability of all necessary Customer resources as required by MSAB to perform the Services. Further, Customer agrees to fulfill any of its obligations designated in the SOW (the “Customer Obligations”). MSAB shall be excused from any delay in performance of the Services caused by Customer’s failure to timely complete a Customer Obligation, any act, error, omission or delay by Customer (or by a third party supplier independently hired by Customer) or any other event, act or omission outside of MSAB’s control.

2. Proprietary Rights

2.1 Deliverables. The term “Deliverables” means any projects, reports, analyses, installation, documentation, scripts, code, customizations or other work results that MSAB may conceive, develop, or create in the course or as a result of performing the Services and as specifically set forth in the SOW.

Upon payment of all fees due for the Services, MSAB shall grant to Customer a limited, irrevocable (unless these Terms and/or the SOW are terminated by MSAB for cause pursuant to Section 8.2), non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, worldwide, royalty-free and paid-up license to use the Deliverables, together with any (if any) MSAB Materials that are incorporated into the Deliverables, solely for Customer’s internal business purposes, provided that Customer will have no right to use such MSAB Materials apart from the Deliverables or in any other manner (there is for example no right for Customer to disclose, license, transfer or assign MSAB Materials (wholly or partly) to any third party); and further provided, however, that for any Deliverable for which there is a separate EULA that applies pursuant to Section 2.3, that EULA shall control over this Section 2.1. MSAB may include in the Deliverables appropriate proprietary rights legends which may not be removed by Customer.

The use of Customer’s trademarks by MSAB and all goodwill attendant thereto shall inure exclusively to the benefit of Customer.

3. Confidentiality. The term “Confidential Information” means any and all knowledge, information, materials or data of a Party, whether written or oral, and if written or on electronic media, however produced or reproduced, that is marked as “Confidential” and/or “Proprietary” or which is otherwise reasonably understood to be a valuable, special, or unique asset of a Party, the disclosure of which is or may be damaging or harmful to such Party or its business or interests.

With respect to the other Party’s Confidential Information, each Party further agrees that such Confidential Information will at all times remain the property of the disclosing Party (or its licensors, customers, or suppliers, as applicable) and agrees to take all necessary and appropriate procedures to avoid unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information. Upon termination or expiration of these Terms and/or the SOW, each Party will destroy and return to the other Party all Confidential Information of such other Party in its possession or under its direct or indirect control and, upon request of the disclosing Party, will provide written confirmation of such destruction or return.

Taxes, fees and additional costs required to be paid by Customer pursuant to this Section are in addition to, and may not be claimed as a reduction or offset against, any payments otherwise due to MSAB under these Terms. If Customer is required by law to withhold or deduct any withholding taxes from or in respect of any amount payable to MSAB hereunder, then (i) the amount payable hereunder shall be increased to such amount which, after making all required withholdings or deductions of withholding taxes therefrom, will equal the amount payable hereunder had no such withholding taxes or deductions been required; (ii) Customer shall make such withholdings or deductions; (iii) Customer shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the appropriate authorities according to applicable laws; and (iv) Customer shall promptly deliver to MSAB a receipt or similar documentation from the appropriate governmental authority evidencing payment of such withholding taxes.
