Further in the event of a designated pandemic, epidemic or other catastrophic severe public health or safety event or if ServiceRocket otherwise determines that the health or safety of its personnel is at risk, ServiceRocket reserves the right to remove its personnel from Client’s premises and conduct the Services remotely.

When you purchase Services consisting of an estimated block of hours for a certain defined project, for example a migration, the invoice will also include a usage report detailing the number of hours used during the execution of said projects. In the event there are any remaining hours to be consumed, said hours will be held in your account for a period of 12 months to be allocated to the execution of an agreed future project.
When you purchase Services that are for a fixed price project for example, a Discovery Workshop, you will be invoiced a set amount, regardless of the hours it takes to complete the Workshop.

Once a request has been logged in the Incident Tracking System in accordance with Section 5.2, ServiceRocket will commence work to try and repair the issue in accordance with the timeframes defined in the Statement of Work. To avoid doubt, ServiceRocket does not guarantee (under this Agreement or otherwise) to be able to resolve any issue.
ServiceRocket is only responsible for Service Levels with regard to Supported Applications that ServiceRocket has agreed to support as set forth in a Statement of Work. Levels of Support provided by ServiceRocket are subject to the following dependencies:

(b) Time waiting for responses from third parties will not be counted towards the response times included in the Service Levels;

Each party acknowledges that money damages may not be sufficient compensation for a breach of this Section 6, and each party agrees that the other may seek and obtain equitable relief, in the form of specific performance, or temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, or any other equitable remedy to stop Confidential Information from becoming public in breach of this Section 6.

Unless otherwise agreed, all such licenses will be held by the Client.
In the event Client purchases any Training Credits, the following conditions will apply:
(a) The person purchasing the Training Credits must nominate an authorized person who may distribute the Training Credits to their organization’s employees.

The aggregated data is used to (a) better understand the usage of the add-ons; (b) identify usage patterns; and (c) enhance the ability to provide technical support and greater value to Clients. On occasion, the collected system, performance and utilization data will be used for the purposes of developing and refining sales and marketing programs.
For purposes hereof, “System” means the operating system, plug-in and the application to which it integrates. The term “Application Content” means content directly inputted into the system by the Client.
The Client has the option to opt out by notifying ServiceRocket via email at legal@servicerocket.com.
The Intellectual Property Rights owned by each party before ServiceRocket commences providing the Services shall remain the property of that party. Any ideas, concepts, techniques or other intellectual property developed by ServiceRocket in the course of producing a Deliverable remain the property of ServiceRocket.
Unless otherwise agreed in a Statement of Work, and subject to Section 8.1, ownership of all Intellectual Property Rights in a Deliverable will vest in the Client upon receipt of the final payment to ServiceRocket for the deliverables as detailed in the SOW.
Third party Intellectual Property Rights will remain the property of such third party.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party is prohibited, during and for a period of 18 months after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, from soliciting or endeavoring to entice away from the other party any employee or contractor of the other party engaged by that other party at any time for Services under a Statement of Work, without the prior written consent of the other party. In the event of a breach of this section by either party, the parties agree that the soliciting party shall pay the non-soliciting party a sum equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of such employee’s first year salary, including guaranteed bonuses, or in the case of a Contractor a sum equal to US$50,000.
THE SERVICES AND DELIVERABLES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. IN PARTICULAR, SERVICEROCKET DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES OR DELIVERABLES WILL MEET CLIENT’S REQUIREMENTS OR WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SERVICEROCKET DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IF AND TO THE EXTENT ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, RESTRICTED OR MODIFIED, SERVICEROCKET’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY AND CLIENT’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM UNDER SUCH WARRANTY OR CONDITION SHALL BE, AT THE OPTION OF SERVICEROCKET, SUPPLYING THE SERVICES AGAIN OR REFUNDING TO CLIENT ALL AMOUNTS PAID BY THE CLIENT FOR THE AFFECTED SERVICE OR DELIVERABLE.
Certain legislation, including the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), may imply warranties or conditions or impose obligations upon ServiceRocket, which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified or cannot be excluded, restricted or modified except to a limited extent. This Agreement must be read subject to these statutory provisions. If these statutory provisions apply, to the extent to which ServiceRocket is entitled to do so, ServiceRocket limits its liability in respect of any claim under those provisions to, at the option of ServiceRocket to supplying the services again; or paying the cost of having the services supplied again.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL SERVICEROCKET BE LIABLE TO THE CLIENT ON ACCOUNT OF ANY CLAIM (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT, BREACH OF ANY STATUTORY DUTY OR OTHERWISE) FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, INTEREST, GOODWILL, LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA OR FOR ANY LOSS OF OR INTERRUPTION TO THE CLIENT’S BUSINESS, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES OR SUMS PAID BY THE CLIENT TO THIRD PARTIES, EVEN IF SERVICEROCKET HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN THE EVENT OF ANY BREACH BY SERVICEROCKET OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT RESULTS IN DIRECT DAMAGES SERVICEROCKET’S LIABILITY FOR SUCH DAMAGES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY CLIENT TO SERVICEROCKET HEREUNDER.
ServiceRocket shall indemnify Client against any third party claim that ServiceRocket’s provision of the Services or any Deliverable infringes upon or violates any Intellectual Property Rights of third parties, and shall pay those costs and damages awarded by a court of law in a final non-appealable order against Client that are specifically attributable to such claim. The foregoing obligations are conditioned on Client notifying ServiceRocket promptly in writing of such claim.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, ServiceRocket shall have no obligation under this Section 11 or otherwise with respect to any infringement claim based upon (i) any use of the Deliverables not in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) any use of the Deliverables in combination with other products, equipment, software, or data not supplied by ServiceRocket, (iii) Client’s continued use of any non-current, unaltered version of the Deliverables following notification by ServiceRocket of the requirement that Client must use a more recent version of the Deliverables, or (iv) any modification of the Deliverables by any person other than ServiceRocket.
In addition to and not in lieu of ServiceRocket’s obligations above, if any third party claim is made against Client, and/or ServiceRocket reasonably believes, that Client’s use of the Deliverables violates the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party, ServiceRocket may, at its option and expense: (a) procure for Client the right to continue using the Deliverables as provided herein or (b) replace or modify the Deliverables so that they become non-infringing, or (c) refund to Client all fees paid by Client to ServiceRocket hereunder for such Deliverables. This Section 11 sets forth ServiceRocket’s entire liability and Client’s exclusive remedies in the event of a claim of infringement.
Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately by written notice to the other party if the other party breaches any provision of this Agreement, and the breach has not been remedied within 20 Business Days after service of written notice of the breach.

(a) fails to make a payment within the time period specified under this Agreement;
(b) becomes, threatens or resolves to become Insolvent; or
(c) ceases or threatens to cease conducting business in the normal manner.
Either party may terminate this Agreement by providing 30 days’ advance written notice to the other party and in the case of Client, paying in full all amounts due and owing hereunder, without liability to pay any termination fee, except if a Statement of Work has not been completed. For the avoidance of doubt, Annual Support Services cannot be terminated for convenience.
Upon termination of this Agreement, the Client shall pay to ServiceRocket any outstanding amounts (either billed or accrued) which are payable to ServiceRocket as of the date of termination.
Upon termination of this Agreement, each party must return, or destroy, at the other party’s option, all documentation and information relating to the other party’s business (in whatever form it is held including but not limited to written, graphic or electromagnetic form, and all copies) in that party’s possession or control. Such information includes, without limitation, any Confidential Information and any records relating to a party’s Intellectual Property.
Termination of this Agreement will not prejudice any rights or any claim that either party may have accrued against the other party up to the date of termination including, without limitation, any claim for damages as a result of the occurrence of an event which gives rise to a right of termination.
Who you are contracting with under this Agreement, Who you should direct notices to under this Agreement and what law will apply in any lawsuit arising out of, or in connection with this Agreement and which courts have jurisdiction over any such lawsuit, depend on where you are located.
Notices given under this Agreement:
(a) must be in writing addressed to the intended recipient at the address last notified by the intended recipient to the sender;
(b) must be signed by a person duly authorized by the sender; and
(c) will be taken to be served when delivered, received or left at the intended recipient’s address, but if delivery or receipt occurs on a day on which business is not generally carried on in the place to which the notice is sent, or later than 5pm on that date at that place, it will be taken to have been served at the commencement of business on the next day on which business is generally carried on in that place.
This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes any prior negotiation, arrangement, understanding or agreement with respect to the subject matter or any term of this Agreement.
ServiceRocket is engaged by the Client as an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement creates a relationship between the parties of employer and employee, principal and agent, partnership or joint venture.
All additions or modifications to this Agreement must be made in writing and must be signed by both parties.
Neither party may assign or otherwise transfer its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, except that ServiceRocket may assign this Agreement to any affiliate or other entity in connection with a reorganization, merger, consolidation, acquisition or other restructuring involving all or substantially all of the voting securities or assets of ServiceRocket.
The terms of a Statement of Work will take precedence over this Agreement to the extent of any inconsistency in relation to that Statement of Work. Any pre-printed or other standard terms set forth on any Client purchase order, acknowledgment or other form will be deemed void and of no force or effect, irrespective of whether such form is countersigned by ServiceRocket. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any ServiceRocket or third party licenses included within any software or Deliverables, the provisions of those licenses will control.
Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will be ineffective in that jurisdiction to the extent of the prohibition or unenforceability, but will not invalidate the remaining provisions of this Agreement nor affect the validity or enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction.
No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of that right, power or remedy.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the countries specified in the table above in Section 14.1 without giving effect to (i) its conflict of laws provisions, or (ii) the United Nations Convention for Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, which is explicitly excluded. The parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.
Client agrees to participate in ServiceRocket’s reasonable marketing activities that promote the benefits of the Products to other potential clients and use of Client’s name and logo on ServiceRocket’s website and in ServiceRocket promotional materials, subject to ServiceRocket’s compliance with Client’s logo guidelines. Client agrees that ServiceRocket may disclose that Client is a customer of ServiceRocket.
