Scope of Work

Service Provider shall perform the following services in connection with the Business Draft Logs:

Draft Log Entries

The Service Provider will maintain an itemized log for each draft. The following fields will be recorded for each entry. The parties may add columns by written amendment.

Payment Terms

As consideration for the services described herein, Client shall pay Service Provider the amounts and on the schedule set forth below. All payments are non-refundable except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

All fees due hereunder shall be paid within the times set forth. Client shall reimburse Service Provider for reasonable and documented costs incurred in connection with extraordinary data retrieval or production requests not contemplated in the Scope of Work.

Term and Termination

This Agreement shall commence on and continue until unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Section.

Either party may terminate this Agreement for cause upon written notice if the other party materially breaches any obligation hereunder and fails to cure such breach within the notice period. Upon termination, Service Provider shall deliver all current draft logs to Client in a mutually agreed machine-readable format and shall, at Client’s direction, securely destroy residual copies.

Confidentiality

For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential Information" means all non-public information disclosed by Client to Service Provider, including draft content, internal comments, version histories, metadata, and any analyses derived therefrom. Service Provider shall: (a) hold Confidential Information in strict confidence using at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information but no less than reasonable care; (b) use Confidential Information solely for performance of its obligations under this Agreement; and (c) not disclose Confidential Information to any third party except to employees, contractors, or affiliates with a need to know and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those herein.

Confidentiality obligations do not extend to information that: (i) is or becomes publicly available through no breach of this Agreement; (ii) is rightfully obtained from a third party without restriction; (iii) is independently developed by Service Provider without use of Confidential Information; or (iv) is required to be disclosed by law or court order, provided Service Provider gives prompt written notice to Client to permit protective action.

The obligations of confidentiality survive termination of this Agreement for a period of three (3) years, except with respect to trade secrets for which obligations shall survive for as long as such information remains a trade secret under applicable law.

Governing Law

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction specified below, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

Representations, Remedies, and Miscellaneous

Each party represents and warrants that it has the full power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. Each party acknowledges that a material breach of confidentiality or data handling obligations may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be inadequate, and agrees that injunctive relief is an appropriate remedy in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity.

Entire Agreement

This Agreement, including all attachments and written amendments signed by both parties, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals, or understandings, whether written or oral. Any amendment must be in writing and signed by authorized representatives of both parties.
