MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT
1.2 Statement of Work Authorization and Modification. Each Statement of Work is to be signed on behalf of the Client exclusively by designated authorized representatives of Client. Any deviation from or modification to a Statement of Work must be agreed to by the parties in writing. In the event of any express conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of a Statement of Work and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement will govern and control unless the parties include an express statement of the parties’ intention to supersede or override such provision of this Agreement, in which case such provision of such Statement of Work will govern and control with respect to the interpretation of that Statement of Work only; provided, however, that the provisions of the Statement of Work will be so construed as to give effect to the applicable provisions of this Agreement to the fullest extent possible, including, without limitation, Sections 3.3, 3.4, 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 of this Agreement.
2.1 Charges for Services. Client will pay to Inscale Technologies the charges set forth in each Statement of Work in accordance with this Agreement and such Statements of Work. Unless otherwise provided in the Statement of Work, Inscale Technologies agrees not to change its fees during the term of the Statement of Work without the written consent of Client; provided, however, Inscale Technologies may adjust its fees prior to entering into a new Statement of Work.
(a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean nonpublic information, in tangible or intangible form, of the disclosing party that disclosing party designates as confidential or which under the circumstances surrounding the disclosure would reasonably be considered confidential. Confidential Information shall include, without limitation, information contained in design documentation relating to any programs of Inscale Technologies (in the case of Inscale Technologies), Client or Client’s customers to whom Services are rendered (in the case of Client), any source code, development level documentation, all Inscale Technologies development tools (except for publicly available tools), data files, databases, marketing plans, supplier and customer information, proprietary and technical information, and business and marketing strategies and plans (in the case of Inscale Technologies), and information received from others that disclosing party is obligated to treat as confidential (in the case of either party). A party’s Confidential Information shall include all nonpublic information and data that such party discloses, provides, or otherwise makes available to the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, information disclosed to or acquired by recipient of the information shall not constitute Confidential Information to the extent that the recipient can demonstrate (i) such information was lawfully known to the recipient prior to the disclosure thereof by disclosing party without breach of any obligation owed to the disclosing party; (ii) such information is or thereafter becomes lawfully obtained from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the disclosing party; (iii) the recipient’s duty as to confidentiality is waived in writing by disclosing party; (iv) such information was developed by employees or agents of the recipient of the information independently of and without reference to Confidential Information or other information that disclosing party has disclosed in confidence to any third party. In the event a recipient or any of its Representatives are required by legal process or applicable law to disclose any Confidential Information of the disclosing party, the recipient of the Confidential Information shall notify the disclosing party in writing prior to disclosure of such Confidential Information and shall fully cooperate with and assist the disclosing party in taking legally available steps to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. In the event such disclosing party seeks but fails to obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy, the recipient may (and shall cause its Representatives to) disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed and shall fully cooperate with disclosing party in its efforts to ensure that confidential treatment will be accorded to Confidential Information disclosed in such manner.
Nothing in the terms of this Agreement and any Statement of Work shall be construed to limit Inscale Technologies’ or Client’s right to independently develop or acquire products without the use of Confidential Information of the other party. Upon Client’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, Inscale Technologies shall not be prohibited under this Agreement to use for any purpose the Residuals resulting from access to or work with Confidential Information, provided such party shall maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in Sections 5,1, 5.2, and 5.3 and any other written confidentiality agreement between the parties. For purposes of this Agreement, “Residuals” shall mean technical information related to software technology in nontangible form, which may be retained in unaided memory by individuals who have had access, as permitted by this Agreement, to Confidential Information, where (i) such information constitutes general ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques, and (ii) such individuals (x) did not intentionally memorize the applicable idea, concept, know-how, or technique for the purpose of retaining or subsequently using or disclosing it, and (y) did not recall, in good faith, that the idea, concept, know-how, or technique constituted the Client’s Confidential Information. Neither Inscale Technologies nor Client shall have any obligation to limit or restrict the assignment of such individuals or to pay compensation resulting from the use of the Residuals in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section shall not be construed to grant either Inscale Technologies or Client a license of the other party’s copyrights or other intellectual property.

6.1 Term. This Agreement shall be effective on the date a Statement of Work is executed by the parties and thereafter shall remain in effect until terminated by Inscale Technologies or Client as provided in this Agreement or until all Statements of Work have expired or been terminated.

1.SCOPE
1.1 Terms and Conditions. The terms and conditions of this Agreement apply to the software as a service offered by Inscale and any related work product (collectively “Services”), that Customer orders in an order form or other ordering document issued by Inscale (including any online forms) that specify the Services to be provided hereunder (each an “Order” and collectively, the “Orders.”) Services are made available utilizing the Saleforce.com (“SFDC”) online hosting platform and related services (“SFDC Services”), but the Services Terms and Conditions herein are specific to Inscale Services and exclude non-Inscale applications and SFDC Services, unless otherwise stated herein.
1.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with all Orders (collectively, the “Agreement”) represents the Parties’ entire understanding regarding the Services and shall control over any different or additional terms of a purchase order or other non-Inscale ordering document. No terms included in a non-Inscale ordering document shall apply to the Inscale Services.
1.3 Purchase Orders. If Customer provides a purchase order (“PO”) to Inscale, Inscale shall reference the PO number in the applicable Order. Customer expressly agrees that terms and conditions provided under such PO shall be of no force and effect. Customer will provide any required POs promptly on signing of the Order.
2.SERVICES
2.1 Services. On the terms and conditions set forth herein, Customer hereby engages Inscale on its behalf to perform those Services mutually agreed upon in written Orders, and Inscale hereby accepts such engagement.
2.2 SFDC SERVICES. This Agreement is between Inscale and Customer. Customer acknowledges that Services are hosted for Inscale by SFDC and are also integrated as part of and are interoperable with the SFDC Services. By agreeing to the terms of this Agreement, Customer accepts and agrees to abide by the additional SFDC terms of use in the SFDC User Guide accessible via login at http://www.salesforce.com, as updated from time to time. However, to the extent SFDC and Customer have entered into a valid agreement for the SFDC Services, the terms of such agreement shall govern Customer’s use of and access to such SFDC Services in connection with the Services. Separate licensing terms may also apply for Customer’s use of the SFDC Services as made available to Customer by SFDC. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Inscale shall not be responsible or liable for such SFDC Services or for the acts or omissions of SFDC.
2.3 Integration with Non-Inscale Applications. The Services may contain features designed to interoperate with Non-Inscale Applications. To use such features, Customer may be required to obtain access to such Non-Inscale Applications from their providers and comply with such provider’s applicable terms of use. If the provider of any such Non-Inscale Application ceases to make the Non-Inscale Application available for interoperation with the corresponding Services features on reasonable terms, Inscale may cease providing such Services features without entitling Customer to any refund, credit, or other compensation. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Inscale shall not be responsible or liable for any such Non-Inscale Applications or for the acts or omissions of such providers of Non-Inscale Applications.
2.4 User Subscriptions. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form, (i) Services are purchased as User subscriptions and may be accessed by no more than the specified number of Users, (ii) Customer shall have the right to add additional User subscriptions during the applicable subscription term at the same pricing as that for the pre-existing subscriptions thereunder, prorated for the remainder of the subscription term in effect at the time the additional User subscriptions are added, and (iii) the added User subscriptions shall terminate on the same date as the pre-existing subscriptions. User subscriptions are for designated Users only and cannot be shared or used by more than one User but may be reassigned to new Users replacing former Users who no longer require ongoing use of the Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Customer shall have the right to allow others to indirectly access the Services (including through integrations or APIs), provided, that, all such access in the aggregate with respect to a particular security access level shall require a single integration User license.
2.5 Usage Limitations. Usage limitations imposed by SFDC may affect the use of Inscale’s application. Customer’s usage must comply with the Salesforce Master Subscription Agreement posted at https://www.salesforce.com/content/dam/web/en_us/www/documents/legal/salesforce MSA.pdf in addition to the Master Subscription Agreement between the Parties. In the event of a conflict between these documents as to Salesforce’s responsibilities, rights, and liabilities, the terms of the Salesforce’s Master Subscription Agreement shall prevail. Usage limitations imposed by SFDC may affect the use of Inscale’s application. As such Services may be subject to other limitations by SFDC, such as, for example, limits on disk storage space, on the number of calls Customer is permitted to make against the Inscale application programming interface, and, for Services that enable Customer to provide public websites, on the number of page views by visitors to those websites. Any such limitations are specified in the User Guide. The Services provide real-time information to enable Customer to monitor compliance with such limitations.

6.FEES AND BILLING
6.1 Provision of Purchased Services. Inscale shall make the Services available to Customer pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Order Forms during a subscription term.

(i) User subscription fees are based on services purchased and not actual usage, (ii) payment obligations are non-cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable, and (iii) the number of User subscriptions purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant subscription term stated on the Order (provided, that Customer may decrease the number of User subscriptions for the next subscription term by providing notice to Inscale prior to the commencement of such term).

Such charges shall be made in advance, either annually or in accordance with a different billing frequency stated in the applicable Order. If the Order specifies that payment will be by a method other than a credit card, Inscale will invoice Customer in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order. Unless otherwise stated in the Order, invoiced charges are due net 30 days from the invoice date. Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to Inscale and notifying Inscale of any changes to such information.

6.6 Suspension of Service and Acceleration. If any amount owing by Customer under this or any other agreement for Inscale services is 30 or more days overdue (or 10 or more days overdue in the case of amounts Customer have authorized Inscale to charge to Customer credit card), Inscale may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, accelerate Customer unpaid fee obligations under the Agreement so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend the services to Customer until such amounts are paid in full.

6.7 Payment Disputes. Inscale shall not exercise its rights herein if Customer is disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and is cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.
6.8 Taxes. Unless otherwise stated, fees do not include any Taxes. Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with the purchases under the Order.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, information disclosed to or acquired by recipient of the information shall not constitute Confidential Information to the extent that the recipient can demonstrate (i) such information was known to the recipient prior to the disclosure thereof by disclosing Party; (ii) such information is or thereafter becomes lawfully obtainable from other non-confidential sources; (iii) the recipient’s duty as to confidentiality is waived in writing by disclosing Party; (iv) such information was developed by employees or agents of the recipient of the information independently of and without reference to Confidential Information or other information that disclosing Party has disclosed in confidence to any third Party; or (v) disclosure thereof is required by legal process or applicable law (in which case the recipient of the information shall notify the disclosing Party prior to disclosure of such information).

10.3 Protection of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but in no event less than reasonable care) (i) not to use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, to limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees, contractors and agents who need such access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections no less stringent than those herein.

10.4 Irreparable Harm. In addition to all other legal or equitable remedies to which a disclosing Party may be entitled to enforce this Section, both parties acknowledge that any violation of Section 10 by the non-disclosing Party would cause irreparable harm to the disclosing Party and agree that the disclosing Party shall be entitled to an immediate injunction to prevent violations of Section 9 without the necessity of proving actual harm or posting bond.
10.5 Independent Development; Residuals. Nothing in the terms of this Agreement shall be construed to limit Inscale’s or Customer’s right to independently develop or acquire products without the use of Confidential Information.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section shall not be construed to grant either Inscale or Customer a license of the other Party’s copyrights or other intellectual property.
10.6 Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to such Confidential Information.
10.7 Customer’s Agreements.

Customer shall cause such agreements to be executed prior to the rendering of Services by Inscale. Inscale shall be a third Party beneficiary of each such agreement. Customer shall use its best efforts to assist Inscale in the protection of Inscale's legal rights and to enforce Inscale’s and applicable third Party’s intellectual property rights. Customer shall cooperate fully with Inscale in any action by Inscale in the event of an actual or threatened violation of Inscale's proprietary rights by any person or entity, including Customers of Customer.
11. TERM AND TERMINATION
11.1 Term of this Agreement.

AvSight Support Policy
Once your AvSight system is up and running according to the settings and features covered under your contract, you will be transitioned from the implementation phase into normal support. To ensure a smooth transition, we wanted to cover the most common questions about AvSight support. The following questions will be answered in this article:
- What’s covered with AvSight support?
- What’s not covered with AvSight support?
- What are my options if my issue isn’t covered with standard support?
What’s Covered
Although we strive to ensure that every version and release of AvSight is bug-free using a thorough QA process, there are times when you might find an issue with AvSight. Although the following list is not an exhaustive list, the following items are some examples of what’s covered with standard AvSight support.
- Troubleshooting any reported errors
- Fixes to Bugs
- Upgrades and any new features included. It does not include any configurations or training required to use any new features. (NOTE: There are a few advanced, system-wide features that may not be included with upgrades, i.e. multi-company, multi-currency, accounting, e-commerce, integrations, etc.)
- Access to our Knowledge Base and Ticketing System
What’s Not Covered
AvSight is a highly configurable system with the ability to be customized for changing business needs. Because of this, there are certain issues that are not covered with standard support. Some examples of those requests include the following.
- Modifications to existing features requiring additional configurations or customization
- Addition of new features requiring configuration or setup
- Workflows or automation
- Additional alerts and notifications
- Customizing existing pages or forms or adding new ones
- Mass import & deletion of data
- Additional training
What Are My Options?
We realize that business needs change and that our customers commonly provide great ideas that would make them more efficient. We also recognize that many of these ideas are, or will be, on our roadmap for AvSight while others are too specific or not scalable. We recommend that you discuss any ideas with us first in order to determine the best way to accomplish a solution.
1. Use of Internal Talent
AvSight is built on the Salesforce platform so many of the customization tools aren’t built for developers, but are built for business people with some technical ability. Salesforce also offers free training in the use of some of the tools available via Trailhead (trailhead.salesforce.com). Please keep in mind that any customizations made by you must not affect any of the core features of AvSight. Any issues caused or fix required from the use of these tools will not be covered under the support agreement.
2. Purchase an Admin Package
As described below, the admin package provides a number of hours that can be used for customizations or training not normally covered under support and provides access to a resource knowledgeable with the customization tools and to AvSight’s future functionality. Why spend time and money on your own customizations when they may be provided for free on a future upgrade? The admin package is paid together with your recurring license charges and will be charged at a discounted hourly rate.
3. Pay by the Hour
AvSight can review your request and provide a quote for any customizations of your system. You will be charged as soon as the services are provided.
AvSight Admin Services
For requests that are not covered with standard support, we are happy to provide multiple options. With AvSight Admin Services, there are three options, per hour/project, per block of time, and per month services. Depending on the needs of your company, you may choose the option that makes sense., depending on the project.
Per hour projects can be used for small one time projects that are well defined. There are no minimum hour commitments, so this option is perfect for smaller projects.
For larger projects, a block of time might be the best option. Purchasing a block of AvSight Admin Services time can reduce the price of the project since the per hour price is less expensive than using an hour at a time. There are no expiration dates on blocks of time and can be used at any time.
- 5 hours per month included$525/mo
- 10 hours per month included$950/mo
- Custom packages available
