This includes, but is not limited to, Sections 3.3, 4.3, 9.2, 13.2, 14.1 and 15 of this Agreement. “Australian Consumer Law” in this section means the Australian Consumer Law under Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).
EXHIBIT B
CONSULTING SERVICES TERMS
If Customer has engaged Reveal for the provision of professional services (such as implementation, configuration, custom development and training, “Consulting Services”) as indicated on a Statement of Work (“SOW”) or other written document such as a “Description of Consulting Services” on an Order Form, the provision of such Consulting Services will be governed by the Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to in a SOW or Order Form, Customer agrees that any Consulting Services purchased by Customer must commence within six (6) months of the execution of the SOW or Order Form. In consideration of the foregoing, Customer and Reveal, intending to be legally bound, agree to the terms set forth below.
- Scope.
All Consulting Services pursuant to the Agreement provided by Reveal to Customer will be outlined in one or more mutually agreed-upon and jointly executed SOWs or Order Forms, each incorporated into the Agreement and describing in detail the scope, nature and other relevant characteristics of Consulting Services to be provided.
- Retention.
Customer hereby retains Reveal to provide the Consulting Services described in one or more SOWs or Order Forms, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. Reveal shall not be obligated to perform any Consulting Services until the Parties have mutually agreed upon and executed a SOW or Order Form with respect to such Consulting Services. After execution of a SOW or Order Form, the Consulting Services to be provided under that SOW or Order Form may only be changed through a change order mutually executed by the Parties (“Change Order”).
- Performance of Consulting Services.
3.1 Each SOW or Order Form will include reasonable details about Consulting Services, including, at a minimum, the Consulting Fees (defined below) charged and the Consulting Services provided. Reveal and Customer agree to cooperate in good faith to achieve satisfactory completion of the Consulting Services in a timely and professional manner.
3.2 The Parties will each designate a representative to interface and facilitate the successful completion of the Consulting Services.
3.3 Reveal will perform the Consulting Services through qualified employees and/or non-employee contractors of Reveal (“Subcontractors” and together with Reveal’s employees for the purposes of these “Consulting Services Terms”). Customer agrees to provide, at no cost to Reveal, timely and adequate assistance and other resources reasonably requested by Reveal to enable the performance of the Consulting Services (collectively, “Assistance”). Reveal, including its Subcontractors, will not be liable for any deficiency in the performance of Consulting Services to the extent such deficiency results from any acts or omissions of Customer, including, but not limited to, Customer’s failure to provide Assistance as required hereunder.
3.4 In performing the Consulting Services, Reveal will utilize Consulting Services Personnel as it deems necessary to perform the Consulting Services or any portion thereof. Customer may object to Reveal’s use of a Subcontractor by specifying its reasonable objection to Reveal, in which case the Parties will cooperate in good faith to appoint another Consulting Services Personnel to perform such Consulting Services. Reveal may replace Consulting Services Personnel in its normal course of business, provided that Reveal will be responsible for the performance of Consulting Services by all Consulting Services Personnel.
3.5 Reveal will control the method and manner of performing all work necessary for completion of Consulting Services, including but not limited to the supervision and control of any Consulting Services Personnel performing Consulting Services. Reveal will maintain such number of qualified Consulting Services Personnel and appropriate facilities and other resources sufficient to perform Reveal’s obligations under the Agreement in accordance with its terms.
3.6 Consulting Services Personnel may enter (“assume into”) Customer’s production system of RoboSuite to provide the Consulting Services.
3.7 In the event that Customer seeks to change the scope of Consulting Services to be provided under any SOW or Order Form (including, but not limited to, any changes to the project schedule described in the SOW or Order Form), Customer shall discuss such proposed changes with Reveal. If Reveal elects to perform such changes to the Consulting Services, the Parties shall work together in good faith to execute a written Change Order. Reveal shall be entitled to an adjustment in Consulting Fees pursuant to the changes reflected in the Change Order. Reveal shall not be obligated to perform any differing or additional Consulting Services unless the Parties have mutually agreed upon a written Change Order.
3.8 Unless otherwise agreed to in a SOW or Order Form, for Consulting Services that are deliverable or milestone based, upon delivery of all deliverables or completion of all milestones detailed in the SOW or Order Form, Reveal shall provide Customer with written notice (“Completion Notice”). Thereafter, Customer shall have five (5) business days from the date of the Completion Notice to provide Reveal with written notice describing any deliverables that have not been provided or milestones not met. The SOW or Order Form shall be deemed complete and the deliverables accepted or milestones met absent Customer’s timely written notice of any deliverables not having been provided or milestones not having been met. In the event that Customer provides timely written notice of any deliverables not having been provided or milestones not having been met, Reveal shall make commercially reasonable efforts to remedy the defects identified. If the defects cannot be remedied, Customer may terminate the applicable SOW and Reveal shall return the portion of the Consulting Fees paid to Reveal by Customer for the nonconforming portion of the Consulting Services (or, if Consulting fees have not yet been paid, Customer will be relieved from its obligation to pay Consulting Fees for the nonconforming portion of the Consulting Services). For the avoidance of doubt, a Completion Notice shall not be necessary for Consulting Services that are time and materials-based.
- Consulting Fees.
4.1 Customer will pay Reveal the fees to provide the Consulting Services as detailed or described in a SOW or Order Form (the “Consulting Fees”).
4.2 All Consulting Services will be provided on either a time and materials or fixed-fee basis, as indicated in the applicable SOW or Order Form. Each SOW or Order Form providing for time and materials-based Consulting Fees will contain a detailed estimate of such time and materials necessary for performance of Consulting Services (“T&M Estimate”). Reveal will make a commercially reasonable effort to provide such Consulting Services within such T&M Estimate, up to the number of hours agreed to by the Parties. If it appears that the T&M Estimate may be exceeded, Reveal will make a reasonable effort to notify Customer as soon as practicable and provide an amended T&M Estimate. Upon receiving such amended T&M Estimate, Customer will accept or reject the amended T&M Estimate. Unless Customer rejects such amended T&M Estimate within five (5) business days of delivery, such amended T&M Estimate shall be deemed accepted by Customer and Customer shall be liable for all Consulting Fees associated with Consulting Services delivered in reliance on such amended T&M Estimate. Any amended T&M Estimate which is accepted by Customer shall be deemed a Change Order.
4.3 As detailed in the applicable SOW or Order Form, the performance of Consulting Services may be subject to an advance payment of Consulting Fees by Customer upon execution of the SOW or Order Form. Such retainer will be applied against Consulting Fees which become payable by Customer. Reveal may refuse to perform Consulting Services unless and until such advance payment is paid to Reveal.
4.4 In addition to any and all Consulting Fees, Customer will reimburse Reveal for any reasonable expenses for travel, lodging, communications, shipping charges and out-of-pocket expenses, including changes to travel and accommodations resulting from Customer’s request incurred by Reveal in connection with providing the Consulting Services (“Expenses”). Reveal will provide reasonable documentation for all Expenses as requested by Customer.
4.5 Any unpaid Consulting Fees or Expenses will become overdue thirty (30) days after payment is due and shall be subject to a late fee of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month for each month where payment is not received.
4.6 Cancellation/Changes: Any cancellations of or changes to the Consulting Services less than five (5) business days prior to the agreed-upon Consulting Services commencement date are subject to forfeiture of Consulting Fees paid and reserved date(s).
- Relationship of the Parties.
Reveal is an independent contractor and will maintain complete control of and responsibility for its Consulting Services Personnel, methods and operations in providing Consulting Services. Reveal will never hold itself out as an agent, subsidiary or affiliate of Customer for any purpose, including reporting to any government authority. The Agreement will not be construed so as to create a partnership, other joint venture or undertaking, or any agency relationship between the Parties, and neither Party shall become liable for any representation, act or omission of the other Party or have the authority to contractually bind the other Party. Any Consulting Fees, Expenses or other amounts paid by Customer to Reveal hereunder shall not be considered salary for pension or wage tax purposes and neither Reveal nor its Consulting Services Personnel will be entitled to any fringe benefits, including sick or vacation pay, or other supplemental benefits of Customer, unless otherwise required by law. Customer shall not be responsible for deducting or withholding from Consulting Fees or Expenses paid for Consulting Services any taxes, unemployment, social security or other such expense unless otherwise required by law.
- Warranties.
- Reveal hereby represents and warrants that:
(a) the Consulting Services provided pursuant to the Agreement will be performed in a timely and professional manner by Reveal and its Consulting Services Personnel, consistent with generally accepted industry standards; provided that the Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of this warranty will be, at Reveal’s option, re-performance of the Consulting Services or termination of the applicable SOW and return of the portion of the Consulting Fees paid to Reveal by Customer for the nonconforming portion of the Consulting Services; and
(b) it is under no contractual or other restrictions or obligations that are inconsistent with the execution of the Agreement, or, to its best knowledge, which will interfere with its performance of the Consulting Services.
6.2 The Parties hereby agree that:
EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.1 ABOVE, CUSTOM APPLICATIONS THAT RESIDE WITHIN ROBOSUITE, CUSTOMIZATIONS, INTEGRATIONS, AND PROGRAMMING SCRIPTS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED AND BEING DELIVERED UNDER A SOW (COLLECTIVELY, “CUSTOMIZED DELIVERABLES”) ARE PROVIDED TO CUSTOMER “AS IS” AND REVEAL MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR ANY REPRESENTATIONS TO CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY REGARDING THE USABILITY, CONDITION, OPERATION OR FITNESS OF THE CUSTOMIZED DELIVERABLES. REVEAL SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE, IN LAW OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY CUSTOMIZED DELIVERABLES DESPITE ANY OTHER WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES, IN THE EVENT THAT CUSTOMER MODIFIES ANY CUSTOMIZED DELIVERABLES IN A MANNER NOT INSTRUCTED BY REVEAL. REVEAL DOES NOT WARRANT THAT CUSTOMER’S OR ANY THIRD PARTY’S ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE CUSTOMIZED DELIVERABLES SHALL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT IT WILL MEET ANY PARTICULAR CRITERIA OF PERFORMANCE OR QUALITY. REVEAL EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES REGARDING CUSTOMIZED DELIVERABLES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, COMPATIBILITY, SECURITY OR ACCURACY. FURTHER, REVEAL EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO SUPPORT OR MAINTAIN CUSTOMIZED DELIVERABLES AND WILL NOT DO SO UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED BY THE PARTIES. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY AND LIABILITY IS EXPRESSLY MADE IN ADDITION TO ANY DISCLAIMERS MADE BY REVEAL OR ITS AFFILIATES UNDER THE AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES AS APPLICABLE TO CUSTOMER AND ANY THIRD PARTY’S USE OF THE SERVICES.
- Rights to Deliverables; Ownership.
7.1 The Parties hereby agree that the specified Consulting Services to be completed pursuant to any SOW or Order Form primarily involve the configuration of RoboSuite or the integration of Customer data with and into RoboSuite using Pre-existing Technology, Developed Technology, and/or Generic Components (each as defined below). Unless otherwise expressly specified in a SOW, no deliverable provided in connection with the Consulting Services provided pursuant to the Agreement shall constitute a “Work Made For Hire” under the Agreement. In the event that any such deliverable is held to be a Work Made For Hire, Customer hereby assigns to Reveal all right, title and interest therein or to the extent such assignment is not permitted or effective, hereby grants to Reveal a perpetual, irrevocable, exclusive, worldwide, fully-paid, sub-licensable (through multiple layers), assignable license to any such deliverable. Additionally, Reveal shall have a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, fully-paid, sub-licensable (through multiple layers), assignable license to incorporate into the Pre-existing Technology, Developed Technology, and/or Generic Components or otherwise use any suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations or other feedback Reveal receives from Customer.
7.2 Without limiting the foregoing, Reveal and its licensors reserve and retain ownership of all Pre-existing Technology, Developed Technology and Generic Components (each as defined below), and Reveal hereby grants to Customer a non-exclusive, fully-paid, limited license to use Pre-existing Technology, Developed Technology and Generic Components solely in connection with Customer’s use of the Service(s). “Pre-existing Technology” means all of Reveal’s inventions (including those of Reveal’s Affiliates) (whether or not patentable), works of authorship, designs, know-how, ideas, concepts, information and tools in existence prior to the commencement of the Consulting Services. “Developed Technology” means ideas (whether or not patentable) know-how, technical data, techniques, concepts, information or tools, and all associated Intellectual Property Rights thereto developed by Reveal and its Affiliates or their Consulting Services Personnel in connection with providing Consulting Services pursuant to the Agreement that derives from, improve, enhance or modify Reveal’s Pre-existing Technology. “Generic Components” means all inventions (whether or not patentable), works of authorship, designs, know-how, ideas, information and tools, including without limitation software and programming tools developed by Reveal and its Affiliates or their Consulting Services Personnel in connection with providing Consulting Services generally to support Reveal’s product and/or service offerings (including, without limitation the Services) and which can be so used without use of Customer’s Confidential Information.
