Terms of Service

1. Introduction

Client hereby agrees to the Terms and Conditions attached hereto as part of the Service Level Agreement, Order Form, Addendum, or other SKYTEK Managed Service engagement document; these shall be known as the “Agreement.” SKYTEK Solutions, LLC, a Florida limited liability company with corporate address at 5850 Coral Ridge Dr., Suite 207, Coral Springs, FL 33076, shall be referred to as “SKYTEK” in the Agreement below.

2. Maintenance, Changes, Incidents, Response Time

2.1 Maintenance

A maintenance window is a defined period of time during which planned outages and changes to production services and systems may occur. The purpose of defining standard maintenance windows is to allow Client to prepare for possible disruption or changes. The following process will be utilized for the updating of services.

2.1.1 Updates and Patches. Prior to implementing any updates, SKYTEK will send an email to Client notifying Client of the update, when it will be implemented, and its impact.

2.2 Changes

Any changes requested by Client will be completed within the requested resolution timeframe upon request and implemented during the scheduled maintenance window. To request a change, Client shall send a change request to ithelpdesk@skytek.cloud.

2.3 Incidents and Emergencies

If any incidents or emergencies occur, SKYTEK will contact the Client per the Escalation Authority List. SKYTEK will respond to and resolve all incidents within the timeframes and according to the urgency of the request. To report an incident or emergency, Client shall send an incident notification to ithelpdesk@skytek.cloud or call 888-820-8548.

2.4 Problem Response Time

Initial ticket creation notification to Client within 20 minutes of request or event. The problem response time is the time period starting after (i) SKYTEK’s confirmation of the service event and (ii) receipt of the information required from the Client for SKYTEK’s support team to begin resolution and open a trouble ticket in SKYTEK’s systems. Due to the wide diversity of problems that can occur and the methods required to resolve them, problem response time is not defined as the time between the receipt of the call and resolution of the problem. After receiving a report of fault, SKYTEK shall use a reasonable method to provide the Client with progress updates.

3. New and Additional Services

3.1 The request for additional or new services (“new/additional services”) can be made via email or phone call to SKYTEK primary points of contact. Any new/additional services added to the Agreement will be documented via separate addendum to the Agreement. Services provided within the subsequent addendum(s) will adhere to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, unless otherwise specified within the addendum. SKYTEK will obtain written Client approval or a purchase order for any new/additional services. Upon Client approval, all references to the services shall include all approved new/additional services. SKYTEK is authorized to make adjustments to the fees and surcharges charged for the services in order to cover the costs of any new/additional services. Cost and fee adjustments will be documented via email or a separate addendum and sent to Client prior to the fee adjustment. Client agrees to pay the fees and surcharges for the services, as adjusted.

4. Purchase Order Acceptance

4.1 If required or requested by the parties, the Purchase Order (PO) constitutes an arrangement by the Client to compensate SKYTEK for the Services according to the applicable Agreement. No additional or different terms offered or asserted by Client’s PO shall be or become part of the Agreement.

4.2 Any reference to Client’s own terms or conditions within the PO shall be for informational purposes only and shall not be construed as acceptance by SKYTEK of Client’s terms and conditions.

5. Contract Expiration Notification

5.1 Client is to notify SKYTEK 60 days prior to the Agreement expiration date. If Client has not notified SKYTEK in writing of its election to extend or terminate the Agreement, the Agreement will automatically terminate and all services will be removed, deleted, or returned. If Client elects to terminate the services, the termination date for the Agreement will be the last day of the last month of the term. SKYTEK does not prorate the final month’s invoice.

6. Termination of the Contract

6.1 Termination for Cause

6.1.1 If SKYTEK fails to meet the material requirements of the Agreement (“SKYTEK Event of Default”), Client will have the right to terminate the Agreement, provided that SKYTEK has not cured such SKYTEK Event of Default or Client and SKYTEK are unable to reach an agreement on remediation within 30 days after the Client has notified SKYTEK in writing of the SKYTEK Event of Default.

6.2 Termination for Client Default

6.2.1 If Client shall fail to pay when due any installment of monthly fees or other amount due hereunder within 10 days of the date due, or Client shall fail to observe any other covenant, agreement, or requirement to be observed or performed by Client, which failure is not cured within 30 days after written notice by SKYTEK to Client (each a “Client Event of Default”), SKYTEK shall have the right to terminate the Agreement. Termination of the Agreement or any services does not relieve Client of liability for all monthly, annual, and one-time charges, as identified in the Agreement.

6.3 Termination for Insolvency, Assignment, or Material Adverse Change

6.3.1 Either party may immediately terminate the Agreement if the other party (i) becomes or is declared insolvent or bankrupt; (ii) is the subject of any proceeding related to its liquidation or insolvency (whether voluntary or involuntary) which is not dismissed within 90 days; (iii) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (iv) experiences a material adverse change in financial condition which may reasonably be expected to affect its ability to pay.

6.4 Termination for Convenience

6.4.1 In the event that Client terminates the Agreement at any time during the term of the Agreement, Client agrees to pay 100% of the remaining balance of all charges, as identified in the Agreement.

6.5 Survival

6.5.1 Sections 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 15 shall survive any termination or expiration of the Agreement.

6.5.2 The terms and conditions of the Agreement shall also survive in the event there are services provided under separate contracts (SLA, Addendum, Order Form, and Work Order) that reference the terms and conditions noted herein.

7. Ownership of Placed Equipment

7.1 If such services are provided by SKYTEK to Client, Client grants to SKYTEK a limited, nonexclusive, non-transferable license to place such equipment and other materials and software necessary for SKYTEK to provide the services under the Agreement (“SKYTEK Materials”) on various premises owned or leased by Client at such locations as mutually agreed to by SKYTEK and Client. This license solely grants SKYTEK a right of use and is not intended to grant a lease, easement, or other interest in such premises.

7.2 SKYTEK retains full ownership of the SKYTEK Materials, and the placement of the SKYTEK Materials on the premises does not create in Client any beneficial, equitable, leasehold, license, or other ownership right, title, or interest in the SKYTEK Materials.

7.3 Title to the SKYTEK Materials shall remain with SKYTEK at all times, and the Client shall protect and defend SKYTEK’s title and keep it free of all claims and liens other than those created by SKYTEK. Client agrees to take such action at its expense as may be necessary to prevent any third party from acquiring any interest in the SKYTEK Materials as a result of its attachment to realty.

7.4 If the SKYTEK Materials include or contain any software, or if any software is provided during the term of the Agreement, Client agrees that it has no interest in such software and that any such software is to be used solely and exclusively in and with the SKYTEK Materials.

7.5 SKYTEK shall have no duty, responsibility, or obligation to make any structural alteration or adjustment to the premises to install the SKYTEK Materials. SKYTEK is responsible for restoring Client’s premises to its original condition upon removal or relocation of any or all of the SKYTEK Materials.

7.6 During the term, Client shall furnish heat, light, and electrical power and protect the SKYTEK Materials from theft and damage.

7.7 Subject to Client’s standard administrative, safety, and security requirements and policies, SKYTEK shall have the right at any time, with no less than forty-eight (48) hours’ advance notice to Client, to access the premises on which any SKYTEK Materials are located and to repair, maintain, upgrade, replace, or remove the SKYTEK Materials.

7.8 In the event of a default by Client, or the expiration or other termination of the Agreement, and subject to Client’s standard administrative, safety, and security requirements and policies, SKYTEK shall have the right to immediately access the premises on which any SKYTEK Materials reside and remove the SKYTEK Materials.

7.9 Client shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the environment and condition of the aforementioned equipment so that the equipment is not damaged by negligence, misuse, or abandonment.

7.10 Client agrees that SKYTEK may from time to time file, with the appropriate filing office, a UCC-1 Financing Statement and amendments as appropriate, showing Client as the debtor, SKYTEK as the secured party, and the SKYTEK Materials as the collateral, solely for the purpose of providing public notice of the ownership by SKYTEK of the SKYTEK Materials. The filing of a UCC-1 Financing Statement by SKYTEK covering the SKYTEK Materials shall in no way limit the full ownership of the SKYTEK Materials by SKYTEK.

7.11 Client shall and does hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SKYTEK and its directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, costs, expenses, damages, and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from or arising out of any damage to or destruction of the SKYTEK Materials in violation of the foregoing provisions, which obligation shall survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement.

8. Indemnification

8.1 SKYTEK agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Client and any of its directors, managers, officers, agents, employees, assigns, and successors in interest from and against all suits and causes of action, claims, losses, demands, and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation, damage or liability of any nature whatsoever, (i) for death or injury to any person including SKYTEK employees and agents, or damage or destruction of any real or tangible personal property of either party hereto or of third parties, to the extent arising from the negligent acts, errors or omissions, or willful misconduct incident to the performance of the Agreement by SKYTEK or its subcontractors, or (ii) resulting from the breach by SKYTEK of its obligations under the Agreement, except in each case to the extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Client, or any of its directors, managers, officers, agents, employees, assigns, and successors in interest.

8.2 Section 8.1 shall apply with respect to a disclosure of Confidential Information only to the extent such disclosure is the result of actions predominantly attributable to SKYTEK or its subcontractors. The provisions of this paragraph survive expiration or termination of the Agreement.

8.3 Neither SKYTEK nor its subcontractor of any tier shall be held liable under this Section for more than $10,000.00 or as defined in Section 14 (Limitation of Liability), whichever is less.

9. Payment Terms

9.1 Unless otherwise noted in the Agreement, costs for the services will be billed and paid at the beginning of each month by Client through a direct debit process initiated by SKYTEK.

9.2 Payments returned for non-sufficient funds, stop-payment requests, or a closed account will result in a collection fee of $75.00 for the first offense plus the amount to be collected. Subsequent offenses will result in a $225.00 returned payment fee, per offense, plus the amount to be collected thereafter.

9.3 Charges for Technical Support as set forth on repair ticket requests from Client will be invoiced by SKYTEK once per month and are due and payable by Client within twenty (20) days of the invoice date. All payments are due upon receipt of invoice. Payments received later than twenty (20) days after the invoice date shall accrue interest at 10% per annum. Client agrees that any late or missed payment is a material breach of the Agreement.

9.4 Client agrees to review each invoice promptly and to report any dispute of the amount due within 10 days of the date of the invoice. If Client does not report a dispute within this time period, Client shall have waived its right to dispute that invoice and the entire invoice amount shall be due to SKYTEK.

9.5 All payments to SKYTEK shall be net of all taxes, charges, and other fees. Client shall be solely liable for and shall pay any state or local tax, fee, charge, or surcharge payable for services that are subject to such imposition.

9.6 SKYTEK will invoice Client for non-recurring charges and other services (for example, usage, overages, materials) when such services are provided. Fees will be charged automatically each month for non-recurring charges and other services incurred during that month or any preceding months.

10. Confidentiality

10.1 SKYTEK agrees that SKYTEK and its agents and personnel may have access to confidential and proprietary information and materials belonging to or disclosed by Client, whether disclosed electronically, orally, in writing, or by display, which are not generally disclosed to or known by the public, concerning or pertaining to the business of Client, including, without limitation, trade secrets, data, reports, methods, techniques, procedures, processes, methodologies, forecasts, plans, employee information, and client information, and that such information is commercially valuable to Client or is otherwise confidential and proprietary to Client (“Confidential Information”).

Confidential Information shall not include any information to the extent that it (i) is or becomes a part of the public domain through no act or omission on the part of SKYTEK; (ii) is disclosed to third parties by Client without restriction on such third parties; (iii) is in SKYTEK’s possession, without actual or constructive knowledge of an obligation of confidentiality with respect thereto, at or prior to the time of disclosure under the Agreement; (iv) is disclosed to SKYTEK by a third party; (v) is independently developed by SKYTEK without reference to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information; or (vi) is released from confidential treatment by written consent of Client.

Client agrees that nothing in the Agreement grants to SKYTEK any license, right, title, or interest in or to the Confidential Information, except as expressly set forth herein. Client reserves all rights to its Confidential Information not expressly granted in the Agreement. SKYTEK agrees to use Confidential Information solely for the purpose of the Agreement and pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and for no other purpose whatsoever. SKYTEK agrees to hold such information in the strictest confidence. SKYTEK shall use reasonable efforts to protect the confidentiality of Client’s Confidential Information, treating it as SKYTEK would its own confidential information of a similar nature and value. SKYTEK agrees to provide Client with such further assurances as reasonably requested by Client from time to time.

11. Hiring Fee

11.1 In the event Client or any of its affiliates hires, employs, or otherwise engages (for example, as an independent contractor or through another staffing agency) any employee or contractor of SKYTEK within one (1) year of the Agreement, Client shall pay a placement fee of 20% of the hired person’s annualized compensation. Annualized compensation is defined as annual salary, signing bonus, any guaranteed portion of any annual bonus, vested in-the-money stock options or similar equity awards, car allowance, severance pay, and any other compensation that is expected to be earned by the hired employee during the first 12 months of service with Client, regardless of when or if such compensation is actually paid.

12. Independent Contractor Status

12.1 The parties agree that SKYTEK is an independent contractor providing professional services and not an employee, agent, joint venturer, or partner of Client. Nothing in the Agreement, nor in a course of dealing between the parties, shall be interpreted or construed as creating the relationship of employer and employee, principal and agent, joint venturers, or partners between SKYTEK and Client or its personnel. Neither party shall have any right, power, or authority, expressed or implied, to bind the other.

13. Insurance

13.1 Required Coverage

During the term, each party shall obtain and maintain at each party’s sole cost and expense the following:

13.1.1 Standard form personal property insurance insuring all equipment, alterations, fixtures, and personal property of any kind for which the covered party is legally liable or which the covered party has had installed at or around the other party’s facility, for fire, extended coverage for vandalism, malicious mischief, and special extended/all-risk coverage for sprinkler leakage. Such insurance shall be in an amount no less than 100% of the full replacement cost thereof.

13.1.2 Commercial general liability insurance insuring the covered party against any and all claims for bodily injury and property damage arising out of the Agreement and the covered party’s use, occupancy, and/or maintenance of any of the other party’s facilities. Such insurance shall have a combined single limit of no less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence, with no less than a $2,000,000.00 aggregate limit. The policy shall list the other party as an additional insured (not including any commercial auto liability). In no event shall the limits of such insurance limit the liability of either party under the Agreement.

13.2 Certificate of Insurance

A commercially acceptable certificate of insurance shall be delivered by the covered party to the other party prior to the commencement date of the Agreement and annually thereafter at least 30 days prior to the expiration date of the original policy or any renewal thereof.

14. Limitation of Liability

14.1 In no case shall SKYTEK’s maximum liability arising out of the Agreement, whether based upon warranty, contract, negligence, tort, strict liability, or otherwise, exceed in the aggregate the actual payments received by SKYTEK under the Agreement during the six (6) months immediately prior to the event giving rise to the claim.

14.2 In no event shall either party be liable for indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, loss of profits, loss of revenues, loss of opportunities, loss of data, or loss of use damages, arising out of the Agreement, even if the party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

15. Acceptable Use Policy

15.1 This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) defines acceptable practices relating to the use of SKYTEK’s network, websites, systems, facilities, products, and services (collectively, the “Services”) by SKYTEK clients and by users that have gained access to the Services through client accounts (collectively, “Users”).

15.3 Rights of SKYTEK

15.3.1 SKYTEK may suspend or terminate Service of any User which SKYTEK believes has violated any element of this AUP. SKYTEK will suspend Service for violation of the AUP on the most limited basis as SKYTEK determines is reasonably practical under the circumstances to address the underlying violation. SKYTEK will attempt to notify Users via email or other method prior to suspending Service for violation of the AUP; however, SKYTEK may suspend Service without notice if SKYTEK becomes aware of a violation of any applicable law, regulation, or activity, including, but not limited to, a violation of the AUP that exposes SKYTEK to criminal or civil liability or that exposes the SKYTEK network or SKYTEK customers’ networks or property to harm. Such harm to a network may include, but is not limited to, risk of having an IP address placed on blacklists. SKYTEK may take such further action as SKYTEK determines to be appropriate under those circumstances to eliminate or preclude repeat violations.

15.3.2 SKYTEK reserves the right to take down any material, or otherwise block access thereto, created or accessible on or through the Services, and to suspend or terminate any User creating, storing, or disseminating such material, where SKYTEK becomes aware that the material violates this AUP or exposes SKYTEK to civil or criminal liability, including, without limitation, under applicable copyright laws. SKYTEK reserves the right to avail itself of the safe harbor provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

15.3.3 Users are responsible for configuring their own systems to provide the maximum possible accountability. SKYTEK shall not be liable for any damage caused by such system configurations regardless of whether such configurations have been authorized or requested by SKYTEK. For example, Users should ensure there are clear “path” lines in news headers so that the originator of a post may be identified. Users should also configure their Mail Transport Agents (MTA) to authenticate (by look-up on the name or similar procedures) any system that connects to perform a mail exchange and should generally present header data as clearly as possible. As another example, Users should maintain logs of dynamically assigned IP addresses. Users are responsible for educating themselves and configuring their systems with at least basic security. Should systems at a User’s site be violated, the User is responsible for reporting the violation and then fixing the exploited system. For instance, should a site be abused to distribute unlicensed software due to a poorly configured File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server, the User is responsible for reconfiguring the system to stop the abuse.

15.3.4 SKYTEK reserves the right to cooperate with legal authorities and third parties in the investigation of any alleged wrongdoing related to this AUP, including the disclosure of the identity of the User that SKYTEK deems responsible for the wrongdoing. SKYTEK will not be liable for any damages of any nature suffered by any User or any third party resulting in whole or in part from SKYTEK’s exercise of its rights under this AUP.

15.3.5 SKYTEK reserves the right to install and use, or to have Client install and use, any appropriate devices to prevent violations of this policy, including devices designed to filter or terminate access to the Services. By accepting and using the Services, Users consent to allowing SKYTEK to collect service information and routing information in the normal course of its business, and to use such information for general business purposes. Users may not use the Services to monitor any data, information, or communications on any network or system without authorization. Users may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the user accounts or passwords of other Users.

15.3.6 In most cases, SKYTEK will notify Users of complaints received by SKYTEK regarding an alleged violation of this policy. Client agrees to promptly investigate all such complaints and take all necessary actions to remedy any violations of this policy. SKYTEK may inform the complainant that Client is investigating the complaint and may provide the complainant with the necessary information to contact Client directly to resolve the complaint. Client shall identify a representative for the purposes of receiving such communications.

15.3.7 SKYTEK reserves the right to modify this AUP in its discretion at any time. Such modifications will be effective upon posting, and use of the Services after such modification constitutes acceptance of such modifications.

15.4 Responsibility for Content

SKYTEK takes no responsibility for any material created or accessible on or through the Services and will not exercise any editorial control over such material. SKYTEK is not obligated to monitor such material but reserves the right to do so.

16.11 Jurisdiction and Venue. Any legal proceeding by a party to enforce any provision of the Agreement or arising out of the Agreement must be brought in the California Supreme Court in the County of Sacramento or the United States Court for the Eastern District of California, as applicable, and each party consents to the jurisdiction of such courts and waives any objection to the venue laid herein. Client and SKYTEK hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive the right to a jury trial of any claim or cause of action between the parties directly or indirectly relating to the Agreement or the subject matter hereof, any services schedule or the subject matter thereof, or any equipment.

17. Changes to Terms and Conditions

17.1 SKYTEK may update the Terms and Conditions from time to time. SKYTEK will post the updated Terms and Conditions on its website and update the “Last Updated” date. If SKYTEK changes the Terms and Conditions in a manner that materially alters the Client’s rights or obligations, it will use reasonable efforts to notify the Client of the change; for example, SKYTEK may send a message to the Client Escalation Authority List (or that of its representative), if it has one on file. SKYTEK encourages the Client to review the Terms and Conditions periodically to stay informed about the Services. The Client’s continued use of the Services after the revised Terms and Conditions have become effective indicates that the Client has agreed to the current version of the Terms and Conditions.

SKYTEK will not sell, distribute, or lease personal information to third parties unless SKYTEK has your permission or is required by law to do so. For details on how personal information is handled, see the Privacy Policy.
