Master Services Agreement
This Master Service Agreement (“Agreement”) governs all Marketing Agreements between Revity LLC (“Company”) and its Partners. Subject to the limitations of applicable law, the Agreement may be updated from time to time by the Company. Written notice of these changes will be mailed or electronically delivered.
- Purpose of Agreement
This Agreement outlines the terms for the Company to provide marketing services as requested by the Partner. Services may include one-time projects or ongoing services defined in individual Statements of Work (“SOWs”). All SOWs adhere to the terms of this Agreement, with scope and pricing determined on a project-by-project basis.
- Scope of Services
The Company offers a suite of marketing services, deploying resources as needed to serve the Partner best. When the Partner requests services, the Company may issue an SOW. SOWs have start and end dates for projects and may be declined by the Company. Deliverables exclude Company Proprietary Information. The Partner must ensure marketing compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Specific deliverables may vary based on marketing plans and strategies deemed best by the Company. Results of marketing efforts are influenced by many factors. As such, the Company makes no guarantees as to the results of marketing efforts but will endeavor to provide satisfactory results using industry standard accepted practices.
- Terms in Agreement and SOW
The Agreement and SOW may include the following:
a) Project Services: A description of the requested scope of work and the Services that the Company agrees to provide to the Partner, along with a description of items or services that may be excluded from the project.
b) Information Required: Information that the Partner is required to provide for the Project Services. The Company may request additional information throughout the Project Services, and the Partner agrees to provide such information promptly.
c) Limited Project: A project with a set start and end date.
Recurring Project: A project that continues until terminated by the Partner.
i. Termination Procedures: The process for terminating a Recurring Project. If the SOW is silent on termination procedures, the Partner must give the Company at least 30 days’ notice to terminate the Recurring Project.
d) Project Start and End Dates: The dates a project begins and ends, as applicable.
e) Project Price: The fees and compensation owed by the Partner to the Company for the Project Services. The Project Price may be designated as an “estimate” by the Company, and the Partner agrees to pay the full Project Price once they receive the invoice detailing it.
f) Deposit: An upfront payment, if any, is required to begin the Project Services.
g) Payment Terms: The payment schedule is applicable to the Project Services. If an SOW is silent on Payment Terms, full payment of the Contract Price is due net 15 days after the invoice is received by the Partner for Limited Projects, and the amount invoiced by the Company is due net 3 days after the invoice is received by the Partner for Recurring Projects.
h) Deliverables: The types and formats of the final product or service provided by the Company. If an SOW is silent on these terms, the Deliverable shall be furnished to the Partner within 72 hours of final payment for the Project Services and shall be in the most commonly used format by the Company for that type of Project Service.
i) Travel and Associated Expenses: Anticipated travel and associated costs. If travel needs arise during Project Services, the Company may update the SOW to reflect such needs. The Partner agrees to reimburse the Company accordingly, even if such travel was not initially listed in the SOW.
j) Pause: A temporary period during which the Company performs no work for the Partner, and the Partner is not charged. This period suspends the Term of the Agreement, which resumes after the Pause period has ended.
k) Buy-Out: The Partner can terminate the contract by paying 50% of its remaining value. The Agreement will terminate upon the Company receiving this payment. The Company may move this Agreement into Buy-Out if the Partner fails to pay three consecutive monthly payments on time or at the end of a Pause period.
l) Work Product: Digital and physical assets created by the Company on behalf of the Partner, including but not limited to videos, brochure designs, various graphically and digitally designed images, advertisements, email designs, web designs, and logos.
m) Marketing Agreement is the agreement signed by the Partner to agree to marketing services. The Marketing Agreement may utilize electronic signatures.
n) Agreement Addendum is an addendum to the SOW. If an Agreement Addendum is needed, it will be clearly marked on the SOW. Any agreements, modifications, or terms mentioned in an Agreement Addendum will supersede conflicting provisions in this Agreement.
Terms in Section 3 apply to individual projects if specified in the SOW. The Agreement takes precedence over conflicting SOW terms.
- Change Orders
Partner-requested changes to SOWs require separate quotes. The Company will issue a Change Order for requested changes, which both Parties must sign or agree upon in writing. Change Orders can only address terms in the “Terms Contained in the SOW” section.
- Multiple SOWs
Parties may execute concurrent SOWs. The Company may suspend work on all SOWs if the Partner fails to fulfill payment obligations. Suspended Project Services adjust the Completion Date(s) accordingly. The Company may require advance payment or other reasonable assurances before beginning or resuming work.
- Payment for Services
Partner shall pay the Company each Project Price for services. The Company will issue a final invoice by each Completion Date or a monthly invoice for ongoing work and retainers. Payments, including down payments and setup fees, are due at signing. Recurring invoices begin 30 days after signing when services are ready or at signing. The Partner may not use the Deliverable until the final payment is received. Invoices are due on the noted date, and an 8% late fee applies after 15 days. Unpaid invoices accrue 1.5% interest per month. The Company may suspend services for unpaid invoices after 30 days.
The Partner shall pay travel and other necessary expenses. In a dispute, the Company can withhold the Deliverable until resolution. The Company may offer additional services, chargeable at a maximum hourly rate of $200, but may waive charges.
Any change in pricing must be agreed upon in writing by both Parties and does not affect the Effective Date, Contracted Date, or Term.
