This Master Services Agreement is entered into by and between Texas Management Group, LLC a Wyoming corporation, with its principal place of business at 21175 Tomball Parkway, 361, Houston, TX 77089 (“TMG”), and the individual or entity who is designated as the “Client” when clicking through to accept these terms online or when signing on the signature page of an SOF or SOW (“Client”). TMG and Client may be referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties” in this MSA. The complete agreement between TMG and Client consists of (1) the terms below, (2) all service order forms and/or statements of work executed hereunder, and (3) all applicable services addenda attached hereto (together, documents (1) through (3) will be collectively referred to as the “MSA”).

1. Definitions

The capitalized words in this agreement will have the meanings ascribed to them in the attached Schedule 1.

1. Services

2.1        Provision of Services.  TMG will provide the Client with the Services set out on each SOF, subject to and per the terms of this MSA. TMG agrees to use good faith efforts to implement the Services per the applicable SOF. Client is responsible for providing TMG with all information, access (including continuous root administrative access to all computer servers licensed to Client and under Client’s control as part of the Services), and good faith cooperation required by TMG to provide the Services, including Technical Support, to Client. Suppose the Client refuses or fails to permit such access. In that case, the Client understands and agrees that TMG is not responsible for any malfunction or delay in the performance of the Services. TMG reserves the right to physically access the Systems (including servers assigned to Client) at any time to ensure the continuity of the Services. To prevent downtime caused by outdated components or malfunction of the Systems, Client consents to (a) TMG upgrading, repairing, or otherwise replacing the Systems that are hosting Client Data from time to time with or without notice to Client, and/or (b) if necessary, TMG migrating Client Data within the Systems from time to time with or without notice to Client. Notwithstanding the preceding, TMG will make good faith efforts to notify the Client before such upgrades, repairs, replacement, or migration when such action is planned.

2.2        Third-Party Vendors and Products.  TMG may (at TMG’s sole discretion) provide any of the Services (in whole or in part) through a TMG Affiliate, a Third-Party Vendor, or other subcontractor(s). The terms and conditions for using any such Third-Party Products incorporated into the Services are passed through to the Client via this MSA where permitted by the applicable Third-Party Vendor.  However, certain Third-Party Vendors, such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Red Hat, require TMG to incorporate the terms and conditions for their Third-Party Products into this MSA by specific reference, and such terms and conditions are included as Schedule 2 attached hereto this MSA. The preceding is not an exhaustive list of the third-party products and third-party vendors that TMG may use to provide the services.  The client acknowledges that Third-Party Products may become unavailable at any time. Any mention of Third-Party Products by TMG, its employees, or any third-party entity related to TMG is for information purposes only and does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by TMG.

2.3        Governing Policies. To ensure the stability of the TMG network and to comply with laws, regulations, and Internet standards, TMG relies upon the Acceptable Use Policy (https://www.texmg.com/acceptable-use-policy/), the Privacy Policy (https://www.texmg.com/privacy-policy/) and the End User Terms for Microsoft Software (per Schedule 2) (if applicable). Altogether, these three documents will be referred to herein as the “Policies”.  The Policies are incorporated into and made an integral part of this MSA by this reference. The client will comply with the Policies and will ensure that the Services are used in compliance with the Policies, including by using contractual terms no less restrictive than the Policies in the Client’s agreements with its End Users. TMG may amend the Policies from time to time in its sole discretion, and such amendments will be effective as soon as the amended Policies are posted to the applicable URL(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, TMG will not change the Policies arbitrarily, and, other than in an emergency (including an imminent threat to the Systems or Services) or as required by law, TMG will endeavor to provide Client with advance notice of any change to the Policies, provided, that the failure to provide such advance notice will not affect the validity of such changes.

2.4        Services or Systems Audit. TMG may use the access Client provides under Section 2.1 above for the purposes of conducting or performing an audit or report (whether by TMG directly or by an authorized independent auditor) to comply with (i) any applicable statute or government regulation or (ii) a Third-Party Vendor requirement (such as during a Third-Party Audit).  Third-party vendors are permitted to perform their Third-Party Audits directly on the Systems (including any computer server or other hardware licensed to the Client by TMG as part of the Services) regarding their respective Third-Party Products. If Client Data includes any software or application licensed independently by Client from the same Third-Party Vendors as used by TMG but does not include the Services ordered by Client, Client is solely responsible for supporting such software or application, including maintaining the licenses and installing updates and upgrades to such software or application, and TMG will not be liable, for any unpaid licenses installed by Client on the Systems that are discovered and reported in the course of a Third-Party Vendor Audit.

2.5        Service Modifications.  TMG may, at its reasonable discretion, add to, modify, remove, or re-price any product or service based on factors such as the unavailability of Third-Party Products.  If TMG intends to remove or make any material changes to any of the Services included on a current SOF or SOW, then TMG will provide Client with at least 60 calendar days’ prior written notice via electronic mail identifying the changes and when such changes will take effect.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if TMG receives less than 60 days’ notice of the unavailability of a third-party product or material changes to a service by a Third-Party Vendor, TMG may implement such changes to the correlating Services with less than 60 calendar days prior notice to Client.  The client will have 14 calendar days from its receipt of the notice to notify TMG in writing of any objection to the modification.  Only if TMG is unable to accommodate the Client’s objection or implement alternatives acceptable to the Client, the Client’s sole remedy will be to terminate the SOF or SOW without Termination Fees.  If Client does not provide TMG with a written objection during the notice period, then Client will be deemed to have agreed to the changes identified in the modification notice.

1. Billing and Payment

3.1        Service Fees. Client will pay TMG in a timely manner the Service Fees set forth on each SOF or SOW (as applicable) and any additional fees for add-on or one-off Services that may not be specified in an SOF or SOW but were separately requested by Client. Recurring Service Fees for each Service will begin to accrue on the earlier of (i) the SOF Availability Date, (ii) 30 calendar days following the applicable SOF Start Date, or (iii) as stated in the SOW. Setup Fees will begin to accrue on the applicable SOF Start Date. Some Service Fees are based on the use of the Services and will be calculated as set out on the SOF or SOW. TMG bills in advance, except for those Service Fees based on usage, which are billed in arrears. Service Fees based on usage will vary accordingly depending on the Client’s actual usage.  If the SOF or SOW includes Services that are billed based on the time and materials used by TMG (including any of its Affiliates or third-party vendors), such as Professional Services, then Client acknowledges and agrees that the Service Fees are subject to change from the amount estimated in the SOF or SOW depending on TMG’s actual time and materials used, provided that TMG will obtain Client’s prior approval for any additional billable time that exceeds the amount described in the SOF or SOW. A SOF or SOW may include fees for a Third-Party Product provided by or through a Third-Party Vendor, and TMG cannot guarantee that such fees will remain the same. If a Third-Party Vendor increases its fees, TMG may proportionately adjust its fees after giving the Client 30 days’ prior written notice of such adjustment.

3.2        Taxes. Service Fees exclude applicable taxes. Client will pay all federal, state, provincial, or other goods and services taxes assessed upon or related to Client’s purchase of the Services (except for taxes based on TMG’s net income) unless Client provides TMG with a valid tax exemption certificate.

3.3        Billing. The Billing Cycle for each SOF or SOW will commence upon the date that TMG issues the first invoice to the Client (either by email or through the Client Portal).  If the Client has authorized TMG to bill the Client’s credit card, then the Billing Cycle will commence upon the date that TMG first charges the Client’s credit card.  Thereafter, the Billing Cycle will recur at the frequency set forth in such SOF or SOW until that SOF, SOW, or the entire Client Account expires or is terminated in accordance with this MSA.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain Services may consist of several distinct components that will have separate Billing Cycles despite being on the same SOF or SOW.  Unless otherwise stated in an SOF or SOW, recurring Service Fees will be invoiced in advance at the beginning of each Billing Cycle, and Service Fees based on usage will be invoiced in arrears for the Client’s usage in the prior Billing Cycle.  Add-on features, if ordered separately, may be charged monthly, per the Billing Cycle, or per an alternate payment schedule as agreed to by TMG when Client orders such features. Add-on features are non-refundable.

3.4        Past Due Amounts.  Service Fees (along with taxes and expenses) are due on the Invoice Date. If Client fails to pay all undisputed Service Fees within 30 calendar days of the Invoice Date, TMG may assess a late payment charge equal to the lesser of (i) 1.5% times the unpaid amount per month or (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law. The client will pay all of TMG’s reasonable expenses associated with any collection efforts, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.  TMG may suspend the Client Account or terminate the SOF or SOW, in whole or in part, upon written notice to Client if Service Fees (a) remain unpaid in full for more than 60 calendar days following the Invoice Date, or (b) are not paid within 30 calendar days of the Invoice Date for any 3 invoices in each 6-month period.  TMG reserves the right to terminate this MSA and cancel the Client Account in its entirety if the Service Fees remain past due following reasonable notification from TMG to the contact person listed in the Client Account. Client is solely responsible, and TMG is not responsible, for keeping Client’s billing contact information up to date and for any failure to receive such notification of Client Account cancellation.

3.5        Billing Dispute.  The client may dispute the Service Fees (in whole or in part), so long as such dispute is made in good faith and provided that Client (i) pays all undisputed amounts on the Invoice Date and (ii) provides TMG with written notice of any evidence supporting such dispute within 15 days of the Invoice Date. TMG and Client will then attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute within 30 calendar days of TMG’s receipt of Client’s notice and supporting evidence, provided that, in the case of any disagreement between the parties, TMG’s determination shall be final. Any disputed amount found to be properly owed to TMG will be paid within 5 days following resolution of the dispute, together with the applicable late payment interest fee on the amount accrued from the original due date for such amount.  If Client does not provide TMG with written notice of a billing dispute before the invoice due date, then Client will be deemed to have accepted the amounts as invoiced and will be obligated to pay such amounts.

3.6        Payment Methods.  TMG accepts the following payment methods:

• check or money order.
• credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover) or
• bank wire or Automated Clearing House (“ACH”).

Unless stated otherwise in the SOF or SOW, all Service Fees are in United States Dollars.

1. Term & Termination

4.1        Term.  The Term of this MSA will commence as of the Effective Date and will continue if there is a SOF or SOW in effect. An SOF will bind TMG and Client as of its SOF Start Date and will continue for the SOF Initial Term. At the end of such SOF Initial Term, the SOF will automatically renew for successive Renewal Terms unless either Party provides the other Party with written notice of non-renewal at least 90 calendar days prior to the expiration of the current term of such SOF.  Each SOF may have its own SOF Initial Term or Renewal Term, and the expiration or termination of any SOF will not affect the SOF Initial Term or Renewal Term of any other SOF currently in effect. An SOW will bind TMG and Client as of the date of Client’s signature on such SOW and will continue for the SOW Service Term set forth therein.  At the end of such SOW Service Term, the SOW will automatically expire unless a Renewal Term is expressly provided in the SOW, or the Parties mutually agree to extend the SOW Service Term.  Each SOW may have its own SOW Service Term, and the expiration or termination of any SOW will not affect the SOW Service Term of any other SOW currently in effect.

4.2        Termination for Convenience. Unless otherwise stated in the SOF or SOW, Client may terminate a SOF or SOW in whole or in part for convenience at any time by providing TMG with 90 calendar days prior written notice and payment of the applicable Termination Fee.  Termination of all SOFs and SOWs will be deemed a termination of the MSA in their entirety, subject to the survival clauses specified therein and below.

4.3        Termination for Cause.  Either Party may terminate this MSA and/or the SOF or SOW upon written notice to the other Party if:

(a)   Such other Party breaches a material obligation of the SOF or SOW or this MSA, and (i) such breach is not cured within 30 calendar days (or 10 business days in the case of non-payment by Client) following the breaching Party’s receipt of written notice from the non-breaching Party, in which case such termination will be effective as of the end of such 30 calendar day period (or 10 business day period in the case of non-payment by Client) or (ii) such breach is incurable, in which case such termination will be effective upon the breaching Party’s receipt of written notice from the non-breaching Party. Client acknowledges and agrees that this provision will not apply to TMG’s delivery of the Services and that TMG’s sole liability and Client’s sole remedy for any malfunctions of or defects in, or any other performance or outage issues associated with a particular Service will be the applicable SLA set forth in the Addendum or Addenda for that Service.

(b)   Such other Party becomes the subject of any insolvency, receivership, or bankruptcy proceeding or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or ceases to do business; or

(c)   An event of Force Majeure has made the Services unavailable for 30 continuous days.

4.4        Termination Fee. If TMG terminates this Agreement or any particular SOF or SOW pursuant to Section 4.3(a) or Client terminates pursuant to Section 4.2, Client will pay the Termination Fee to TMG within 5 days of the termination date. Client acknowledges and agrees that (i) TMG uses the contractual commitments of its customers, including Client, to make its own commitments to capacity and growth, including making significant capital expenditures, (ii) the amount of the Termination Fee is a reasonable approximation of the damages that TMG will suffer due to Client’s early termination, and (iii) this provision is a material inducement to TMG entering into this MSA.

4.5        Post-Termination Migration Grace Period. Subject to the remainder of this paragraph, Client acknowledges that, upon termination of an applicable SOF or SOW, all Services associated with such SOF or SOW (including data backup, if ordered) will immediately cease, and upon termination of the MSA, all Services associated with the Client Account in their entirety (including data backup, if ordered), will immediately cease.  It is the Client’s sole responsibility, and not the responsibility of TMG, to ensure that all Client Data is either retrieved prior to termination or backed up on systems other than the Systems prior to the termination date. Provided that Client was in good standing as of the termination date, TMG may, but is not obligated to, grant Client a 60-day post-termination migration period for Client to migrate all of Client Data to a new hosting provider or to otherwise remove all Client Data from the Systems. Any such migration period must be confirmed in writing between the Parties prior to the termination date. Client’s ordinary Service Fees will continue to apply during such migration period until Client notifies TMG that Client Data has been completely migrated or the expiration of the 60 days, whichever is earlier. If any Client Data remains on the Systems beyond termination or this migration period, whichever is applicable, then TMG may, at its sole reasonable discretion, (a) delete such Client Data or (b) retain the Client Data on the Systems and charge Client the fees associated therewith, in which case TMG may delete Client Data at any time if Client fails to timely pay such fees.  Client acknowledges that this post-termination migration entails the actions of Client and its new hosting provider and does not entail any action on TMG’s part other than to provide access to the Client Data.  Upon Client’s written request, TMG may provide reasonable migration assistance, in which case, TMG may charge (and Client will pay in advance) the Service Fees TMG ordinarily charges for migration Services of the magnitude and complexity that Client requires.

4.6        Suspension. In addition to any other rights or remedies available to TMG in this MSA, at law, in equity, by statute, or otherwise, TMG may suspend the Services at any time upon written notice to Client in the event and for the period of time that: (i) providing the Services is prohibited by applicable law or regulation; (ii) Client fails to pay any invoiced amount (except for an amount disputed in good faith in accordance with Section 3.4) within 30 days of the Invoice Date; or (iii) the Services are used in violation of the Policies or applicable law or regulation. If TMG suspends the Services pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above, the Client will pay all amounts for the Services during the period of suspension as if no suspension had occurred.

1. Representations and Warranties

Client and TMG represent and warrant to each other that such Party has the power, authority, and legal right to enter and perform such Party’s obligations under this MSA. Client represents and warrants that Client and its End Users, as applicable, own or are duly authorized to use, upload, store, or process all Client Data and Intellectual Property transmitted by, used, or hosted on the Systems in connection with the Services.

1. Disclaimer

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN TMG AND CLIENT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS MSA, NEITHER TMG NOR ANY OF ITS EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, SUB-CONTRACTORS, OR LICENSORS MAKE ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, CONFORMITY TO ANY REPRESENTATION OR DESCRIPTION,  NON-INTERRUPTION, NON-INTERFERENCE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ANY WARRANTIES THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE COMPLETELY SECURE OR ERROR-FREE. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS MSA, THE SERVICES AND SYSTEMS PROVIDED UNDER OR ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MSA, INCLUDING THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS OR EQUIPMENT, ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. CLIENT’S USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE AT ITS OWN RISK.  EACH OF THESE DISCLAIMERS WILL APPLY UNLESS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

1. Indemnification

7.1        Mutual Obligation. Subject to the disclaimers herein, if a Party or any Representative of such Party (collectively “Protected Party”) incurs any Losses because of any Third-Party Claim arising out of or in connection with the acts or omissions of the other Party or its employee, contractor, or agent (collectively “Indemnifying Party”) which amount to (a) personal injury or death, or theft of tangible personal property caused by the Indemnifying Party, (b) gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (c) alleged or actual violations by the Indemnifying Party of any law, regulation or rule, then the Indemnifying Party will indemnify, reimburse, and compensate the Protected Party for all Losses, as they accrue and become payable by the Protected Party, and defend, hold harmless, and protect the Protected Party from and against all Claims.

7.2        TMG Obligation.  If Client (including its Representatives) incurs any Losses because of a Third-Party Claim arising out of or in connection with an allegation that the Services or Systems directly infringe the Intellectual Property rights of a Third-Party under the laws of the country in which such Services are provided to Client, then TMG will defend, hold harmless, and protect Client from and against all such Claims related thereto.  TMG’s sole and exclusive liability under this Section 7.2 will be limited to TMG, in its sole discretion and at its own cost, either making such Services non-infringing, or obtaining a license or consent to allow Client’s continued use of such Services, and, if neither of these options is commercially practicable, in TMG’s sole reasonable discretion, TMG will terminate such Services (including any support of or related to such terminated Services) and refund to Client any prepaid Service Fees received by TMG for such terminated Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, TMG will have no liability or obligation for any infringement based on unauthorized use or modification of the Services, use of the Services in combination with any Intellectual Property (as defined below) not owned by TMG, or Client’s failure to install updates or patches.

7.3        Client Obligation.  If TMG (including its Representatives) incurs any Losses because of any Third-Party Claim arising out of, or in connection with, the use of the Services by Client (including by its Representatives or End Users), including, but not limited to, Claims arising out of allegations that the Services have been used, or use has been facilitated by Client, in a way that (a) infringes the Intellectual Property rights of a Third-Party under the laws of a country in which such Services have been used or use has been facilitated by Client, (b) violates the Policies; or (c) violates any law, regulation or rule, then Client will defend, hold harmless, and protect TMG from and against all Claims related thereto.

7.4        Indemnification Procedure. The indemnification obligations of this Section 7 will be conditioned on the Protected Party (a) promptly notifying the Indemnifying Party in writing of the circumstances giving rise to such Loss such that there is no material prejudice to the Indemnifying Party due to the timing of the delivery of such notice and (b) giving the Indemnifying Party complete authority and information for the defense or settlement of the matter; provided, that (i) the Protected Party will have the right to participate in the defense of the matter at such Party’s expense, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party will not settle the matter without the Protected Party’s prior written consent if such settlement contains material equitable relief or an admission of liability or fault attributable to the Protected Party.

1. Limitation of Liability

8.1        Scope.  EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO A PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS OF NONDISCLOSURE AND NON-USE OF PROPRIETARY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OF THE OTHER PARTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND REGARDLESS OF THE BASIS FOR A CLAIM, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR DAMAGES FOR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF REVENUES, PROFITS, DATA, OR BUSINESS INFORMATION) THAT ARISE OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MSA, ANY AGREEMENT BINDING ON OR ENFORCEABLE BY EITHER PARTY RELATED TO THE SERVICES, OR THE PROVISION OF THE SERVICES. THIS LIMITATION WILL APPLY EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THESE DAMAGES AND EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE.  CLIENT AGREES THAT FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, LOST REVENUES AND LOST PROFITS DO NOT INCLUDE CLIENT’S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS TO TMG PURSUANT TO THIS MSA.

8.2        Amount.  To the extent permitted by applicable law and except for (i) the Parties’ respective indemnification obligations with respect gross negligence and willful misconduct, (ii) Client’s payment obligations with respect to Service Fees and related taxes and expenses, and (iii) the Parties’ respective obligations of nondisclosure and non-use of the other Party’s proprietary Confidential Information, each Party’s liability arising out of this MSA, any agreement binding on or enforceable by either Party related to the Services, and the provision of the Services will be limited to direct damages and will not exceed the monetary amount equal to 6 times the average monthly payment of Service Fees during the 6 calendar months immediately prior to the event giving rise to the liability.

1. Confidential Information.

Each Party agrees: (a) to hold the Confidential Information of the other Party in strict confidence using the same standard of care that such party uses to protect its own confidential information, but no less than reasonable care, and (b) not to use or disclose the Confidential Information of the other Party to any third party, other than as necessary to provide the Services, as permitted by the Policies, or as required by applicable law, court order, or regulation. In the event that a Party is required by applicable law, court order, or regulation to disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information, such Party will, unless prohibited by law, provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to obtain, at the other Party’s expense, a protective order. TMG will have the right and license to use residuals, where “residuals” means ideas or know-how in non-tangible form that may be retained in the unaided memories of Representatives of TMG.

1. Data Standards and Protocols

10.1      System Security.  During the Term of this Agreement, TMG will use industry standard measures to detect and prevent unauthorized third parties from accessing the Systems.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Client acknowledges that TMG does not guarantee, and does not represent or warrant, that the Systems cannot or will not be accessed by unauthorized third parties. At least once per calendar year, scheduled at TMG’s sole discretion, TMG will retain an independent external auditor to conduct an audit of TMG’s internal systems and computer controls used for TMG’s dedicated hosting services. Upon Client’s written request and the Parties’ execution of TMG’s standard Non-Disclosure Agreement, TMG will provide Client with a copy of the then-current audit report.  Client acknowledges that (a) audits are conducted by the external auditor in arrears for the preceding year, (b) the audit report for a given year may not be available until the expiration of the previous year’s audit report, (c) TMG is not in breach of the MSA because of delays in delivering to Client a current audit report at or after the expiration of the previous period’s audit report, and (d) the audit is only for TMG’s own internal systems and computer controls and does not include any report, detail, representation, or warranty pertaining to Client’s own internal systems and computer controls.  It is Client’s sole responsibility, and not the responsibility of TMG, to conduct Client’s own security audit, as necessary or applicable.

10.2      PCI-DSS.  To the extent TMG collects, processes, and stores Client’s credit card information on the Systems, TMG will follow the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI-DSS”).  At least once per calendar year, scheduled at TMG’s sole discretion, TMG will conduct a self-assessment and retain a PCI-DSS service provider to perform vulnerability scans and issue applicable PCI-DSS compliance certificates.  Client acknowledges that (a) PCI-DSS scans, questionnaires, and other assessment procedures may extend beyond the expiration date of the previous PCI-DSS certification period, (b) dealings with the PCI-DSS service provider may cause delays which are out of TMG’s reasonable control, including the occurrence of false positives during the scanning process, (c) PCI-DSS certificates of compliance for a given assessment period may be unavailable from the PCI-DSS service provider before the expiration date of the previous period’s certification, (d) TMG is not in breach of the MSA because of delays in delivering to Client a current PCI-DSS certificate (or other proof) of compliance at or after the expiration of the previous period’s certification, and (e) the PCI-DSS certification is only for TMG’s own PCI-DSS compliance and does not include any certification, representation, or warranty pertaining to Client’s own Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard requirements, as necessary or applicable.

1. Intellectual Property

In order to permit TMG to provide the Services, Client will obtain and maintain all rights, consents, and approvals required to grant TMG and its agents the right to access, use, and modify any data, content, equipment, and Intellectual Property utilized by Client and its End Users in connection with the Services. Unless expressly stated in this MSA, neither Party will (a) have any right, title, claims, or interest in or to the other Party’s Intellectual Property, (b) use, copy, modify, or translate any of the other Party’s Intellectual Property or related documentation, (c) decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer any of the other Party’s Intellectual Property, (d) distribute or authorize a Third-Party to distribute any of the other Party’s Intellectual Property, or (e) remove, alter, or obscure any trademark, service mark, logo or other proprietary notices incorporated in or accompanying the Services. To the extent that any Third-Party Products are included or incorporated in the Services, Client agrees that it will only use such Third-Party Products in conjunction with the Services. All trademarks and other Intellectual Property rights associated with or attached to a Third-Party Product belong solely to the relevant Third-Party Vendor and are subject to a license from such Third-Party Vendor to be incorporated into the Services. Nothing herein grants to Client any right, title, or interest in or to a Third-Party Vendor’s Intellectual Property.  TMG retains all rights that are not expressly granted in this MSA to Client. Client may choose to, but is not required to, provide comments or suggestions or related data to TMG regarding possible improvements to the operation, functionality, or use of the Services and inventions, product improvements, modifications, or developments made by TMG, if any, whether as a result of such comments, suggestions, related data or otherwise, will be the exclusive property of TMG.

1. Compliance with Laws

Each Party will obtain and maintain all permits and licenses required by applicable law or regulations for the provision or use, as applicable, of the Services. Each Party will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in connection with this MSA and, in the case of Client, in its and its End Users’ use of the Services, including all applicable export control, data protection, Intellectual Property, and consumer protection laws and regulations. Client will be responsible for all acts and omissions of its End Users. Client agrees that: (i) violating applicable export control laws may include selling products or services that are legal to sell in the United States but illegal to export, and (ii) neither Client nor its End Users may use the Services to provide services to individuals or entities with which citizens of the United States may not do business. Client represents and warrants to TMG that it has provided, and at all times during the term of this MSA will provide, TMG with written notice of all data security and privacy laws, regulations and other legal requirements (including industry-specific laws, regulations, and requirements) applicable to Client’s or its End Users’ data or information (including personally identifiable information) that may be processed (as defined in the applicable data security or privacy laws, regulations or legal requirements) by TMG or its employees, Affiliates, agents or subcontractors in connection with the provision of the Services. Client agrees to execute any further documents requited by law or in TMG’s discretion to maintain compliance. If, during the term of the MSA, Client notifies TMG of the effectiveness of any change in law determined to be binding upon Client that results in TMG’s provision of the Services or Client’s use of the Services being in violation of the applicable law or regulation, TMG will be permitted to suspend the affected Services, and the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to modify the Services in a manner designed to permit the Services to be provided by TMG and used by Client to comply with the applicable law or regulation (after giving effect to the change in law). Client acknowledges that such modification to the Services may result in additional fees to Client. Client will use reasonable security precautions in connection with its use of the Services, including encrypting any sensitive information (such as nonpublic personal information and protected health information) transmitted by or used in connection with the Services, and require its End Users to use reasonable security precautions. Client and its End Users are responsible for the security of customer credit card numbers and related information to which Client or its End Users may have access as a result of conducting electronic commerce transactions in connection with the Services.

1. Protected Health Information

15.1      To Provide Services to Client.  Client acknowledges that the Services and Third-Party Products may be provided from the U.S.A. or any other country in which TMG, its Affiliates, and its Third-Party Vendors maintain their business operations. As such, in connection with the provision of the Services and any Third-Party Products that may be included in the Services to Client, TMG, its Affiliates, and the applicable Third-Party Vendor(s) may transmit, store, access, process, and use (collectively “Process”) Client’s data in, to, or from the U.S.A. or any other such country in which they maintain their business operations. Client consents to TMG, its Affiliates, and its Third-Party Vendors processing Client Data in the U.S.A. or any other country in which TMG, it Affiliates, and its Third-Party Vendors maintain their business operations.

15.2      Consent Revocation by Client. Client may revoke its consent to having Client Data Processed in the U.S.A. or any other country in which TMG, its Affiliates, and its Third-Party Vendors may maintain their business operations by providing TMG with written notice of Client’s revocation of consent (“Consent Revocation”). Upon receipt of the Consent Revocation, TMG will cooperate with Client in transferring all Client Data to a lawful destination of Client’s choice. Client acknowledges that such transfer of Client Data entails the actions of Client (and, if applicable, Client’s vendor or new hosting service provider) and does not entail any action on TMG’s part other than providing access to the Client Data. Upon Client’s written request, TMG may provide Client with reasonable transfer assistance as part of the Services, in which case, TMG may charge (and Client will pay in advance) the Services Fees that TMG normally charges for migrations of the magnitude and complexity Client requires for such transfer. Client must remove all Client Data off of TMG’s Systems, within 60 calendar days of the date that TMG received the Consent Revocation. If any Client Data remains on TMG’s Systems beyond such a 60-day period, then TMG may permanently delete such Client Data and all backups and copies thereof. It is the Client’s sole responsibility, and not TMG’s responsibility, to perform backups and keep copies of Client Data as needed by the Client.

15.3      Transfer Restrictions. As between TMG and Client, it is the sole responsibility of Client, and not the responsibility of TMG, to ensure that Client Data, including End User Data, required to remain in a particular country is restricted to that country. Prior to Client’s submission of a SOF or SOW or use of any Services, Client will inform TMG in writing of all transfer restrictions or jurisdictional requirements pertaining to Client Data and the Parties will work in good faith together to determine if the transfer restrictions and jurisdictional requirements can be satisfied. Client will review TMG’s Privacy Policy, as amended from time to time, posted at https://www.texmg.com/privacy-policy/ (or such other redirected webpage or alternate URL as designated by TMG), which is incorporated herein by reference.

15.4      Server Location.  Subject to the cross-border processing provisions and Client Data transfer restrictions herein, TMG may (a) locate the Systems, including computer servers, containing Client Data at any of TMG’s data center premises and (b) relocate the Systems, including computer servers containing Client Data, from one TMG data center to any other location owned or operated by TMG.  Client acknowledges that TMG does not guarantee a particular data center location will be available for any specific period of time or that the Systems provided to Client will remain at any given location.

1. Miscellaneous

18.1      Relationship of Parties. No person or entity other than Client and TMG and their respective successors and permitted assigns is or will be entitled to bring any action to enforce any provision of this MSA against either or both Client and TMG or any related party. The Parties will be considered independent contractors of one another, and neither Party will have the authority to make any representations, claims, or warranties of any kind on behalf of the other Party or on behalf of the other Party’s Affiliates, agents, subcontractors, licensors, or third-party suppliers. Nothing in this MSA will be construed as implying a joint venture, agency, employer-employee, or partnership relationship between the Parties.

18.2      Non-Solicitation.  During the term of this MSA and for 1 year following its termination or expiration, neither Party will directly or indirectly solicit, offer employment to, employ, or retain as a consultant any employee, consultant, subcontractor, or other agent of the other Party who was associated with the performance of any Services under this MSA without the other Party’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solicitation or hiring via job fairs and advertisements of general circulation will not be considered a violation of this clause.

18.3      Notices. TMG may deliver operational notices to Client, such as those described in a Service Level Agreement or other Service Addendum to this MSA, via phone, email or TMG’s Client Portal, and such notices shall be deemed received upon delivery. Notices, requests, consents, and other communications (collectively, “Notices”) required or permitted under this MSA will be delivered to Client by means of TMG’s Client Portal, in which case such Notices shall be deemed received upon delivery. All other Notices to a Party will be in writing and will be deemed to have been received on the earlier of (i) the date of actual receipt (including by facsimile or email), (ii) the first business day after being sent to the designated address by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or (iii) the third business day after being mailed to the designated address by first class mail.

Client is required to maintain current contact information at all times to facilitate communication between the Parties.

18.4      Assignment. This MSA will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Client, TMG, and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither Party may assign this MSA without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; except that either Party may assign this MSA without the prior consent of the other Party (i) to an Affiliate or (ii) in connection with a merger, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all its assets. The sale, assignment, or other transfer of the equity securities or other ownership interests of either Party will not constitute an assignment of this MSA. Any attempt to assign this MSA without the other Party’s required consent will be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client agrees that TMG may delegate the performance of any of its obligations hereunder to its Affiliate(s) or to agents or subcontractors selected by TMG, except that TMG will not be relieved of any of such obligations because of such delegation.

18.5      Amendment; Waiver; Severability. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this MSA, this MSA will not be amended, and the Services will not be changed except by a written amendment signed by both Parties. The failure or delay to exercise, or the partial exercise of, any right or remedy will not operate as a waiver of, nor affect the right to exercise, any such right or remedy, nor will a waiver of any breach or default constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. The waiver of time for performance will not constitute a waiver of the act or condition itself. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this MSA will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this MSA, which will remain in full force and effect. Any such invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed replaced by a provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable provision.

18.6      Governing Law; Interpretation. This MSA will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

Neither Party will contest notice from any such court. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE PARTIES. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for International Sale of Goods will not apply to this MSA or any dispute between the Parties. No presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring a Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this MSA. Client acknowledges and agrees that the pricing provided to Client is based largely on the Parties’ respective rights, obligations, and limitations provided in this MSA.  The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereto,” and “hereunder” and words of similar meaning will refer to this MSA in its entirety, which includes all SOFs or SOWs and addenda, and not to any particular provision of the MSA.  Bolding, underlining, or italicizing of words herein are for ease of reference only and the application or omission of them will have no effect on the interpretation of this MSA.  When used for listing purposes, the term “including” and “includes” will be deemed to mean “including, but not limited to” or “includes, but is not limited to,” as applicable.

18.7      Entire Agreement. This MSA includes the Schedules, SOFs, SOWs, and Service Addenda attached hereto or executed hereunder; states the entire agreement between the Parties; and supersedes all previous proposals, negotiations, and other written and oral communications between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this MSA.  Any additional terms, provisions or conditions included in any purchase order, receipt, acceptance, confirmation or similar form or correspondence that Client may use in connection with the provision of the Services will have no effect on the rights, duties, or obligations of the Parties hereunder, regardless of the signature of the Parties thereto or any failure of TMG to object to such additional terms, provision or conditions, unless such terms are included in a mutually executed amendment to this MSA.

18.8      Survival. The provisions of this MSA that expressly survive termination or which, by their nature, should reasonably survive termination of this MSA will survive the expiration or termination of this MSA, including Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 18. If there is a conflict between documents entered into by the Parties, such documents will have the following order of precedence: (i) the SOF(s) or SOW(s), (ii) the Service Addendum or Addenda, and (iii) this MSA.

18.9      Counterparts; Signatures; Legally Binding Agreement.

Signatures may be exchanged by facsimile or. PDF or other electronic means, and any signature exchanged by any such means will be deemed an original. The client may also assent to this MSA, the SOFs, SOWs, and/or Service Addenda by accepting any such document without modification in an online transaction via the Client Portal. Client understands and agrees that by clicking to agree to this MSA, any SOF, any SOW, and/or any Service Addendum, Client is entering into a legally binding agreement, with the same force and effect as a signature affixed by hand, and that it will not contest the validity or enforceability of those electronic transmissions under the statute of frauds.
