AGREEMENT:

In these terms and conditions references to “this Agreement” mean the agreement between Seller and Client for the purchase by Client of products of Seller and/or services of Seller in accordance with Seller’s quotation and subject to and in accordance with these terms and conditions.

PRICE AND PRICE ADJUSTMENTS:

All prices are based on currency rates of exchange in effect at the time of quotation.

In the case of human or computer error, Seller reserves the right to re-invoice for the correct price or service.

Design work: Should additional design work be needed at no fault of the seller or be requested by the client that results in going over on design hours quoted an additional quote will be provided to the client. If in agreement the client is to provide a PO or a contract revision by way of a change order to the seller for the additional costs.

Scope Creep: Any work requested by the client or deemed necessary at no fault of the seller that falls outside of the original scope of work will be brought to the client’s attention prior to said work being completed. The client is to provide a PO or contract revision by way of a change order to the seller for the additional costs. The seller shall not be held liable for any delays as a result of the client’s failure to furnish the seller with said PO or change order.

If Client fails to make payments when due and Seller incurs any costs in order to collect overdue sums from Client, Client agrees that all such collection costs incurred shall immediately become due and payable to Seller. Collection costs shall include, without limitation, legal fees, collection agency fees and expenses, court costs, collection bonds and reasonable Seller personnel costs at then current standard billing rates for Seller time spent in efforts to collect. This obligation of Client to pay Seller’s collection costs shall survive the term of this Agreement or any earlier termination by either party.

BETTERMENT:

If, due to Seller’s negligence or inadvertent omission, a required item or component of the project subject to Seller’s quotation (the “Project”) is omitted from Seller’s construction documents, Seller shall not be responsible for paying the cost required to add such item or component to the extent that such item or component would have been required and included in the original construction documents. In no event will Seller be responsible for any cost or expense that provides betterment or upgrades or enhances the value of the Project.

SAMPLE BILLING AND PAYMENT TERMS:

Payment Terms:

Unless otherwise indicated on the signed contract proposal, all contracts are subject to a 25% deposit and monthly progress billing based on percentage of completion. Deposit invoices must be paid prior to the seller commencing work on the project. Monthly progress billing invoices must be paid within 30 days following invoice submission to avoid project delays. The seller will not be held responsible for delays that were a result of late payment on the part of the client.

Payment Due:

Invoices shall be submitted by Seller monthly and are due upon presentation and shall be considered past due if not paid within (30) calendar days of such due date.

Interest:

If payment in full is not received by Seller within (30) calendar days of the due date, invoices shall bear interest at one-and-one half (1.5) percent (or the maximum rate allowed by law, whichever is less) of the PAST DUE amount per month, which shall be calculated monthly from the due date. Payment thereafter shall first be applied to accrued interest and then to the unpaid principal.

Termination:

If Client fails to make payment to Seller in accordance with the payment terms herein, this shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and shall be cause for termination of this Agreement by Seller at the option of Seller.

Suspension of Services:

If Client fails to make payments when due or otherwise is in breach of this Agreement, Seller may suspend performance of services upon twenty-four (24) hours’ notice to Client. Seller shall have no liability whatsoever to Client for any costs or damages as a result of such suspension caused by any breach of this Agreement by Client.

Payment to Seller for services rendered and expenses incurred shall be due and payable regardless of any subsequent suspension or termination of this Agreement by either party.

CERTIFICATE OF MERIT:

Client shall make no claim for professional negligence, either directly or by way of a cross complaint against Seller, unless Client has first provided Seller with a written certification executed by an independent consultant currently practicing in the same discipline as Seller and licensed in the Province of Ontario. This certification shall: a) contain the name and license number of the certifier; b) specify the acts or omissions that the certifier contends are not in conformance with the standard of care for a consultant performing professional services under similar circumstances; and c) state in detail the basis for the certifier’s opinion that such acts or omissions do not conform to the standard of care. This certificate shall be provided to Seller not less than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the presentation of any claim or the institution of any arbitration or legal proceeding. This Certificate of Merit clause will take precedence over any existing law in force at the time of the claim or demand for arbitration.

CERTIFICATIONS, GUARANTEES AND WARRANTIES:

Seller shall not be required to sign any documents, no matter by whom requested, that would result in Seller having to certify, guarantee or warrant the existence of conditions whose existence Seller cannot ascertain without inquiry or inspection. Client shall not make resolution of any dispute with Seller or payment of any amount due to Seller in any way contingent upon Seller signing any such certification.

CHANGED CONDITIONS:

If, during the term of this Agreement, circumstances or conditions that were not originally contemplated by or known to Seller are revealed, to the extent that they affect that scope of services, scope of supply, compensation, schedule, allocation of risks or other material provisions of this Agreement, Seller may call for renegotiation of appropriate portions of this Agreement. Seller shall notify Client of the changed conditions necessitating renegotiation, and Seller and Client shall promptly and in good faith enter into renegotiation of this Agreement to address the changed conditions. If terms cannot be agreed to, the parties agree that either party has the absolute right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the Termination provision hereof.

Site Conditions and Onsite Work:

The Client must make sure that all access points are free and clear of obstacles while performing installation in order to provide efficient and safe working conditions. It is the responsibility of the client to ensure if obstacles are present, they are removed prior to the seller’s crew arriving to site.

The seller agrees to install the system as designed; any changes made by the Client are subject to additional charges.

Any hours incurred due to unexpected site conditions, scope change, requests outside the original contract scope or delays outside the seller’s control are subject to additional charges.

In all cases power supply to system (where applicable) is to be supplied by others.

EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS:

Seller shall not be required to execute any documents subsequent to the signing of this Agreement that in any way might, in the sole judgment of Seller, increase Seller’s risk of liability or the availability or cost of its professional or general liability insurance.

CODE COMPLIANCE:

Seller shall exercise usual and customary professional care in its efforts to comply with applicable laws, codes and regulations. Design changes made necessary by newly enacted laws, codes and regulations after the date of execution of this Agreement shall entitle Seller to a reasonable adjustment in the schedule and additional compensation in Seller’s determination acting reasonably and consistent with Seller’s past practices (“Additional Services Costs”).
In the event of a conflict between laws, codes and regulations of various governmental entities having jurisdiction over the Project, Seller shall notify Client of the nature and impact of such conflict. Client agrees to cooperate and work with Seller in the effort to resolve this conflict.

CONFIDENTIALITY:

Seller agrees to keep confidential and not to disclose to any person or entity, other than Seller’s employees, sub-consultants and the general contractor and subcontractors, if appropriate, any data or information not previously known to and generated by Seller or furnished to Seller and marked CONFIDENTIAL by Client. These provisions shall not apply to information in whatever form that is in the public domain, nor shall they restrict Seller from giving notices required by law or complying with an order to provide information or data when such an order is issued by a court, administrative agency or other legitimate authority, or if disclosure is reasonably necessary for Seller to defend itself form any legal action or claim.

PROPRIETARY INFORMATION:

Client agrees that the technical methods, design details, techniques and pricing data contained in any material submitted by Seller pertaining to the Project or this Agreement shall be considered confidential and proprietary and shall not be released or otherwise made available to any third party without the express prior written consent of Seller.

CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES:

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, neither Client nor Seller, nor their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, insurers, contractors or sub-consultants, shall be liable to the other or shall make any claim against the other for any incidental, indirect or consequential damages arising out of or connected in any way to the Project or to this Agreement.

This mutual waiver of consequential damages shall include, but is not limited to, loss of use, loss of profit, loss of business, loss of income, loss of reputation and any other consequential damages that either party may have incurred from any cause of action including negligence, strict liability, breach of contract and breach of strict or implied warranty. Both Client and Seller shall require and obtain similar waivers of consequential damages protecting all of the entities or persons named herein in all contracts and subcontracts with others involved in the Project.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT:

If Client chooses to retain a construction manager (“CM”) for the Project, Client shall provide Seller, in writing, a list of duties, responsibilities and authority (“DR&A list”) the CM has been assigned by the Owner. Seller shall be entitled to rely upon the proper performance by the CM of the items on the DR&A list and shall bear no responsibility to Client or its representative(s) for any opinions, directions or decisions given by Client and CM that are in conflict with the DR&A.

In the event Client makes any changes to the CM’s DR&A list, Client shall notify Seller, in writing, in a timely manner. Seller shall be entitled to rely solely upon the CM’s decisions and directions as to all items listed in the DR&A list.

If any Client-directed changes to the CM’s DR&A list result in additional time or expense in order for Seller to prepare, coordinate or respond to changes to the plans or specifications, Seller shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in fees and schedule for the performance of these additional services.

CORPORATE PROTECTION:

It is intended by both Client and Seller that Seller’s services in connection with the Project shall not subject Seller individual employees, officers or directors to any personal legal exposure for the risks associated with Project. Therefore, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Client agrees that as Client’s sole and exclusive remedy, claim, demand or suit shall be directed and/or asserted only against Seller a Canadian corporation, and not against any of Seller’s individual employees, officers or directors.

DEFECTS IN SERVICE:

Client shall promptly report to Seller any defects or suspected defects in Seller’s services of which Client becomes aware, so that Seller may take measures to minimize the consequences of such a defect. Client further agrees to impose a similar notification requirement on all contractors in its Client/Contractor contract and shall require all subcontracts at any level to contain a like requirement. Should legal liability for the defects exist, failure by Client and Client’s contractors or subcontractors to notify Seller shall relieve Seller of any liability for costs of remedying the defects above, the sum such remedy would have cost had prompt notification been given when such defects were first discovered, and will relieve Seller of any liability to Client or third parties in relation to the defect.

PAYMENTS TO THE SELLER:

Payments to Seller shall not be withheld, postponed, reduced or made contingent on the construction, completion or success of the Project or upon receipt by Client of offsetting reimbursement or credit from other parties who may have caused additional services or expenses. No withholdings, deductions, reductions or offsets shall be made from Seller compensation for any reason unless Seller has been found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be legally liable for such amounts.

DELAYS:

Client agrees that Seller is not responsible for damages arising directly or indirectly from any delays for causes beyond Seller’s control. For purposes of this Agreement, such causes include, but are not limited to, strikes or other labor disputes; severe weather disruptions or other natural disasters or acts of God; fires; riots; war or other emergencies; epidemics; pandemics; failure of any government agency to act in timely manner; failure of performance by Client or Client’s contractors or consultants; or discovery of any hazardous substances or differing site conditions. In addition, if the delays resulting from any such causes increase the cost or time required by Seller to perform its services in an orderly and efficient manner, Seller shall be entitled to a reasonable adjustment in delivering schedule and compensation.

MEDIATION:

In an effort to resolve any conflicts that arise during the design and construction of the Project or following the completion of the Project, Client and Seller agree that all disputes between them arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Project shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation.

Client and Seller further agree to include a similar mediation provision in all agreements with independent contractors and consultants retained for the Project and to require all independent contractors and consultants also to include a similar mediation provision in all agreements with their subcontractors, subconsultants, suppliers and fabricators, thereby providing for mediation as the primary method for dispute resolution among the parties to all of those agreements.

DELIVERY OF ELECTRONIC FILES:

In accepting and utilizing any drawings, reports and data on any form of electronic media generated and furnished by Seller, Client agrees that all such electronic files are instruments of service of Seller, who shall be deemed the author, and shall retain all common law, statutory law and other rights, without limitation, including copyrights.

Client agrees not to reuse such electronic files, in whole or in part, for any purpose other than for the Project. Client agrees not to transfer these electronic files to others without the prior written consent of Seller. Client further agrees to waive all claims against Seller resulting in any way from any unauthorized changes to or reuse of the electronic files for any other project by anyone other than Seller. Client and Seller agree that any electronic files furnished by either party shall conform to the specifications listed.

If Seller is required to expend additional effort to incorporate changes to the electronic file specifications made by Client, these efforts shall be compensated for as Additional Services Costs.

Electronic files furnished by either party shall be subject to an acceptance period of (30) days during which the receiving party agrees to perform appropriate acceptance tests. The party furnishing the electronic files shall correct any discrepancies or errors detected and reported within the acceptance period. After the acceptance period, the electronic files shall be deemed to be accepted and neither party shall have any obligation to correct errors or maintain electronic files.

Client is aware that differences may exist between the electronic files delivered and the printed hard-copy construction documents. In the event of a conflict between the signed construction documents prepared by Seller and electronic files, the signed or sealed hard-copy construction documents shall govern. In addition, Client agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its officers, directors, employees and subconsultants (collectively, “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against all damages, liabilities or costs, including reasonable solicitors’ fees and defense costs, arising from any changes made by anyone other than Seller or from any reuse of the electronic files without the prior written consent of Seller. Under no circumstances shall delivery of electronic files for use by Client be deemed a sale by Seller and Seller makes no warranties, either express or implied, of merchantability and fitness for any particular purpose. In no event shall Seller or Seller Indemnified Parties be liable for indirect or consequential damages as a result of Client’s use or reuse of the electronic files.

GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION:

Client and Seller agree that this Agreement and any legal actions concerning its validity, interpretation and performance shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein without regard to any conflict of laws provisions.
