Terms of Sale

THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE FOR SERVICES (“Terms of Sale”) APPLY TO YOUR PURCHASE OF SERVICES PERFORMED BY AXURCIO OR ITS SUBCONTRACTORS AND/OR AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY, "SERVICES"). By engaging Axurcio to perform Services under a Statement of Work (as defined below), you agree to be bound by and accept these Terms of Sale, unless you are purchasing such Services pursuant to a separate written agreement signed by both your company and Axurcio, in which case, the terms of that separate agreement shall govern. Axurcio may, from time to time and at its sole option, revise these Terms of Sale without notice by posting them on its website at axurcio.com (the “Website”). The Terms of Sale posted on the Website at the time Axurcio accepts your order governs that purchase.

Entire Agreement. The description of the scope of work and terms associated with the Services ("Statement of Work" or “SOW”) along with these Terms of Sale - Services and any attachments, schedules, addenda and exhibits are together one agreement and forms the entire agreement between the parties relating to the Services to be performed by Axurcio (the “Agreement”). The Agreement supersedes any prior representations or agreements, oral or written, and all other communications between the parties relating to the relevant subject matter. Any conflicting, additional or different terms contained in any other agreement, invoice or SOW, as the case may be, are expressly rejected, unless the modified Terms of Sale is specifically referenced and mutually agreed upon in writing under the SOW. Such modification shall be applicable exclusively to that SOW.
- Competition and Consumer Act (CCA). Notwithstanding the foregoing, these Terms of Sale must be read and construed subject to any statutory provisions, which cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified. If any such statutory provisions apply then, to the extent to which Axurcio is entitled to do so and at Axurcio's option, Axurcio limits its liability pursuant to such provisions to the re-performance or refund of the cost of Services.
Term; Termination. The Agreement commences upon execution of the relevant SOW (“Effective Date”), which incorporates these Terms of Sale, and will continue until completion of the Services, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Section. Either party may terminate the Agreement, in whole or in part, immediately if the other party materially breaches the Agreement and fails to remedy that breach within 30 days after receipt of written notice of such breach, except that a party will only have 10 days to remedy any default of its payment obligations.
Invoicing/Payment. Services will be invoiced in accordance with the SOW. Services will be deemed accepted (completed) 5 days from the date of the invoice, unless otherwise specified in writing under the SOW. You must pay all undisputed invoices in full within 30 days of the invoice date, unless otherwise specified under the SOW. You agree to pay the total purchase price for the Services, plus taxes (including any GST that is payable), and all payments must reference the invoice number. You may provide Axurcio with a tax exemption certificate at the time of purchase, which will be subject to review and acceptance by Axurcio. Unless otherwise specified, all invoices shall be paid in the currency of the invoice. Where invoices are paid in a currency other than that specified on the invoice, you agree to remit payment to Axurcio for any losses incurred upon conversion of any payments received that result in a short-payment of such invoices.

Credit/Late Payment. Your order is subject to acceptance and credit approval by Axurcio. You must provide appropriate credit references upon request and authorize Axurcio to obtain credit history from such references. You agree to pay interest on all past-due amounts at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (18% per annum), or such lesser amount determined by Axurcio calculated monthly on the past due amount. You will be responsible for Axurcio's costs of collection for any payment default, including, but not limited to, court costs, filing fees and attorneys' fees. In addition, if payments are not received as described above, Axurcio reserves the right to suspend performance of Services until payment is received.

Limited Services Warranty. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND SUBJECT ALWAYS TO THE CCA CLAUSE:
- Services performed by Axurcio will: (i) be performed in a timely, competent, professional and workmanlike manner; (ii) substantially conform to the written specifications under the SOW for 30 days from completion, or for such other warranty period as may be indicated under the relevant SOW; (iii) be in compliance with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to Axurcio's performance of the Services under the SOW. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Axurcio is not responsible for default or delays caused by your failure to provide accurate instructions, information, access to facilities or a suitable product or application environment.
- Your sole remedy and Axurcio’s sole obligation for breach of this Limited Services Warranty, except as set forth in any SOW that expressly amends this warranty, will be the re-performance of any deficient Services at Axurcio's expense. If Axurcio is unable to remedy any deficient Services within 30 days of notice or such additional time as may be mutually agreed upon, Axurcio will, at its option, provide a credit or refund of any fees paid for the specific non-conforming Services. No re-performance will extend any warranty period. Any credits issued to you by Axurcio for any reason must be applied by you within 2 years from the date the credit is issued. If not used within such period, credits will automatically expire.

Both parties will restrict disclosures of any Confidential Information to only those personnel who have a need to know and will bind such personnel to obligations of confidentiality to the same extent that each party is bound by the Agreement. Upon request of the owner of Confidential Information, the other party will promptly return all materials incorporating any Confidential Information and any copies. The obligations under this paragraph do not apply to information that: (i) is or becomes generally known or in the public domain through no act or omission of the other party; (ii) was lawfully in Axurcio's or your possession without restriction as to use or disclosure before its receipt from the other party; (iii) is received from, or was made available to, a third party without any obligation of confidentiality; (iv) was independently developed; (v) is otherwise permitted to be disclosed under the Agreement; (vi) is disclosed with the prior written consent of the disclosing party; or (vii) is required to be disclosed in any civil or criminal legal proceeding, regulatory proceeding or any similar process, however, the party required to make the disclosure under the law shall give prompt notice of this to the other party prior to such disclosure so that the other party may seek an appropriate protective order or give its written consent to such disclosure.
Indemnification. When Services are performed by Axurcio on your premises or at another location designated by you, each party and its respective officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates (the “Indemnifying Party”) will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party, its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates (the Indemnified Party”) from and against any damages, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred relating to bodily injury or death of any person or damage to tangible personal property occurring at such location in connection with the performance of the Services to the extent caused by the negligence or willful acts or omissions of the Indemnifying Party. In the event that any such claim is made or suit is commenced, the Indemnified Party shall: (i) give prompt written notice of such demand, claim or suit to the Indemnifying Party; and (ii) provide reasonable assistance and cooperation in the defense and settlement of any claim or legal proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party fails to assume its obligation to defend, the Indemnified Party may do so to protect its interests and seek reimbursement from the Indemnifying Party.
Limitation of Liability. No action, whether for indemnification or otherwise, regardless of form, arising out of the transaction under the Agreement, may be brought by either party more than 1 year after the damage, loss or expense occurred. In addition, to the maximum extent permitted by law:
- NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF INCOME, PROFITS, DATA, OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY, USE OR INFORMATION,) ARISING UNDER THE AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION OR THEORY OF RELIEF, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
- THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF DIRECT DAMAGES RECOVERABLE FROM A PARTY UNDER THE AGREEMENT IS LIMITED TO THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID OR TO BE PAID BY YOU FOR SERVICES PERFORMED UNDER THE RELEVANT SOW.

If any part of the Agreement is, for any reason, found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, all other parts will still remain in effect. A delay or failure by either party to exercise or partially exercise any right or remedy does not operate as a waiver by that party to thereafter enforce such rights.
