2.7 As between You and Ambition, You are responsible for compliance with the provisions of this Agreement by End-Users and for any and all activities that occur under Your Account. Without limiting the foregoing, You are solely responsible for ensuring that use of the Services to store and transmit Service Data is compliant with all applicable laws and regulations as well as any and all privacy policies, agreements or other obligations You may maintain or enter into with End-Users. You also maintain all responsibility for determining whether the Services or the information generated thereby is accurate or sufficient for Your purposes.

You agree and acknowledge that each End-User will be identified by a unique username and password (“Login”) and that an End-User Login may only be used by one (1) individual. You will not share an End-User Login among multiple individuals. You and Your End-Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all Login information for Your Account. Ambition reserves the right to periodically verify that Your use of the Ambition Services complies with the Agreement and the Service Plan restrictions on Our Site. Should Ambition discover that Your use of a Ambition Service is not in compliance with this Agreement or the Service Plan restrictions on Our Site, Ambition reserves the right to charge You, and You hereby agree to pay for, said usage in addition to other remedies available to Us.

2.8 In addition to Our rights as set forth in Sections 2 and 8.4, We reserve the right, in Our reasonable discretion, to temporarily suspend Your access to and use of a Service if We suspect or detect any Malicious Software connected to Your Account or use of a Service by You or End-Users.

2.9 You acknowledge that Ambition may modify the features and functionality of the Services during the Subscription Term.

ANY SERVICE DATA YOU ENTER INTO A SERVICE, AND ANY CONFIGURATIONS OR CUSTOMIZATIONS MADE TO A SERVICE BY OR FOR YOU, DURING YOUR FREE TRIAL WILL BE PERMANENTLY LOST UNLESS YOU PURCHASE A SUBSCRIPTION TO THE SAME SERVICE AS COVERED BY THE TRIAL, PURCHASE THE APPLICABLE SERVICE, OR EXPORT SUCH SERVICE DATA, BEFORE THE END OF THE TRIAL PERIOD.

Beta Services are intended for evaluation purposes and not for production use, are not supported, and may be subject to Supplemental Terms that will be presented to You. Beta Services are not considered “Services” under this Agreement; however, all restrictions, Our reservation of rights and Your obligations concerning the Service, and use of any Third Party Services shall apply equally to Your use of Beta Services. Unless otherwise stated, any Beta Services trial period will expire upon the earlier of one year from the trial start date or the date that a version of the Beta Services becomes generally available without the applicable Beta Services designation. We may discontinue Beta Services at any time in Our sole discretion and may never make them generally available. We will have no liability for any harm or damage arising out of or in connection with a Beta Service.

3. CONFIDENTIALITY; SECURITY AND PRIVACY

3.1 Subject to the express permissions of this Agreement, each Party will protect each other’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access or disclosure in the same manner as each protects its own Confidential Information, but with no less than reasonable care. Except as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement, each Party may use each other’s Confidential Information solely to exercise its respective rights and perform its respective obligations under this Agreement and shall disclose such Confidential Information (a) solely to the employees and/or non-employee service providers and contractors who have a need to know such Confidential Information and who are bound by terms of confidentiality intended to prevent the misuse of such Confidential Information; (b) as necessary to comply with an order or subpoena of any administrative agency or court of competent jurisdiction; or (c) as reasonably necessary to comply with any applicable law or regulation. The provisions of this Section 3.1 shall supersede any non-disclosure agreement by and between the Parties and such agreement shall have no further force or effect.

3.2 Ambition will maintain reasonable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of Service Data, as described in the Agreement, the Supplemental Terms entitled, “How We Protect Your Service Data” attached hereto, and Supplemental Terms for the Deployed Associated Services, as applicable. Those safeguards will include, but will not be limited to, measures for preventing access, use, modification or disclosure of Service Data by Personnel except (a) to provide the Services and prevent or address service, support or technical problems; (b) as compelled by law in accordance with Sections 3.1(b) or 3.1(c); or (c) as You expressly permit in writing. Ambition’s compliance with the provisions of Sections 3.2 through 3.4 and the Security Measures set forth in Exhibit B, Section 2 (“How We Protect Service Data”) shall be deemed compliance with Ambition’s obligations to protect Service Data as set forth in the Agreement.

3.3 To the extent Service Data constitutes Personal Data, You and Ambition hereby agree that You shall be deemed to be the data controller and Ambition shall be deemed to be the data processor as those terms are understood under the Applicable Data Protection Law. Unless otherwise specifically agreed to by Ambition, Service Data may be hosted by Ambition in the United States. In providing the Services, Ambition will engage entities within Ambition to Process Service Data, including and without limitation, any associated Personal Data pursuant to this Agreement within the United States. Under no circumstances will any entity in Ambition be deemed a data controller with respect to Service Data under Applicable Data Protection Law or any relevant law or regulation of any Member State as defined in Applicable Data Protection Law.

3.4 You agree that Ambition and the third-party service providers that are utilized by Ambition to assist in providing the Services to You shall have the right to access Your Account and to use, modify, reproduce, distribute, display and disclose Service Data to the extent necessary to provide or improve the Services, including, without limitation, in response to Your support requests. Any third-party service providers utilized by Ambition will only be given access to Your Account and Service Data as is reasonably necessary to provide the Services and will be subject to (a) confidentiality obligations which are commercially reasonable and substantially consistent with the standards described in Section 3.2.

3.5 Whenever You or End-Users interact with Our Services, We automatically receive and record information on Our server logs from the browser or device, which may include IP address, “cookie” information, and the type of browser and/or device being used to access the Services. “Cookies” are identifiers We transfer to the browser or device of  End-Users that allow Us to recognize End-User and their browser or device along with how our Services are being utilized. When We collect this information, We only use this data in aggregate form, and not in a manner that would identify End-Users personally. For example, this aggregate data can tell Us how often users use a particular feature of the Services, and We can use that knowledge to improve the Services.

3.6 We receive and store any information that You knowingly provide to Us. For example, through the registration process for Our Services and/or through your Account settings, We may collect Personal Data such as your name, email address, and phone number of You and Your End-Users. In addition, We may communicate with You and Your End-Users. For example, We may send You and Your End-Users product announcements and promotional offers or contact You and Your End-Users about Your use of the Services. If You or an End-User does not want to receive communications from Us, please indicate this preference by sending an email to gethelp@Ambition.com and provide us with the name and email address of each End-User that no longer wishes to receive these communications.

3.7 We never sell, rent, or lease Your Service Data to any third party. We do not share Your Service Data with third parties, except as permitted by Section 3.5 of this Agreement and in order to provide and support the Services. We may, however, share aggregated and anonymized information regarding Your use of the Services with third parties as described in this Section. To be clear, we would never disclose aggregated and/or anonymized information to a third party in a manner that would identify You as the source of the information or Your End-Users personally, as an individual.

3.7.1 Improving the Services. Ambition uses third party analytics providers in the following ways for the purpose of assessing and improving the usage of our Services.

  1. Usage Data. Third party analytics providers may collect metrics information regarding Your use of the Service(s), including evaluating how End-Users use the Services (“Usage Data”). To be clear, although Usage Data may be derived from aggregated and anonymized Service Data, it does not include actual Service Data or Personal Data. Usage Data is used to compile reports on activity within the Services for Ambition to improve the Services. The third party analytics providers will not share or otherwise disclose Usage Data, although We may make Usage Data publicly available from time to time.

  2. Anonymized Data. We may anonymize the Personal Data of your  End-Users so they cannot be individually identified, and provide that information to third party analytics providers for analysis. We will use this information to maintain, enhance, or add to the functionality of the Service(s) and to personalize the user experience. The third party analytics providers will not share or otherwise disclose this information.

3.8 Ambition may also obtain other information, including Personal Data, from third parties and combine that with information We collect through Our Services such as in the case where You use a Third Party Service or where we may have access to certain information from a third party social media or authentication service if You log into Our Services through such service or otherwise provide Us with access to information from such service. Any access that We may have to such information from a third party authentication service is in accordance with the authorization procedures determined by that service. By authorizing Us to connect with a Third Party Service, You authorize Us to access and store Your name, email address(es), profile picture URL, and other Personal Data that the Third Party Service makes available to Us, and to use and disclose it in accordance with this Agreement and the Ambition Privacy Policy.

4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Each Party shall retain all rights, title and interest in and to all its respective patents, inventions, copyrights, trademarks, domain names, trade secrets, know-how and any other intellectual property and/or proprietary rights (collectively, “Intellectual Property Rights”). The rights granted to You and End-Users to use the Service(s) under this Agreement do not convey any additional rights in the Service(s) or in any Intellectual Property Rights associated therewith. Subject only to limited rights to access and use the Service(s) as expressly stated herein, all rights, title and interest in and to the Services and all hardware, Software and other components of or used to provide the Services, including all related Intellectual Property Rights, will remain with Ambition and belong exclusively to Ambition. Ambition shall have a fully paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sub-licensable (through multiple layers), assignable, irrevocable and perpetual license to implement, use, modify, commercially exploit, and/or incorporate into the Services or otherwise use any suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations or other feedback We receive from You, End-Users, or other third parties acting on Your behalf. Ambition’s other product and service names and logos used or displayed in or on the Services are registered or unregistered trademarks of one or more members of Ambition (collectively, “Marks”), and You may only use applicable Marks to identify You as a Subscriber; provided You do not attempt, now or in the future, to claim any rights in the Marks, degrade the distinctiveness of the Marks, or use the Marks to disparage or misrepresent Us, Our services or products.

5. BILLING, PLAN MODIFICATIONS AND PAYMENTS

5.1 Unless otherwise indicated on an Order Form or SOW referencing this Agreement or in the Supplemental Terms, and subject to Section 5.2, all charges associated with Your access to and use of a Service (“Subscription Charges”) are due in full upon commencement of Your Subscription Term. If You fail to pay Your Subscription Charges or other charges indicated on any Order Form within thirty (30) business days of Our notice to You that payment is due or delinquent, or if You do not update payment information upon Our request, in addition to Our other remedies, We may suspend or terminate access to and use of such Service by You and End-Users.

5.2 If You choose to increase the number of End-Users authorized to access and use a Service during Your Subscription Term (a “Subscription Upgrade”), any incremental Subscription Charges associated with such Subscription Upgrade will be billed on a monthly basis over the remaining period of Your then current Subscription Term. In any future Subscription Term, Your Subscription Charges will reflect any such Subscription Upgrades.

5.3 No refunds or credits for Subscription Charges or other fees or payments will be provided to You if You elect to downgrade Your Service Plan. Downgrading Your Service Plan may cause loss of content, features, or capacity of the Service as available to You under Your Account, and Ambition does not accept any liability for such loss.

5.4 Unless otherwise stated, Our charges do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments, including value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes assessable by any local, state, provincial or foreign jurisdiction (collectively “Taxes”). You are responsible for paying Taxes, except those assessable against Ambition measured by its net income. We will invoice You for such Taxes if We believe We have a legal obligation to do so and You agree to pay such Taxes if so invoiced.

5.5 If You pay by credit card or certain other payment instruments, the Services provide an interface for the Account owner to change credit card information (e.g. upon card renewal). The Account owner will receive a receipt upon each acceptance of payment by the Payment Agent, or they may obtain a receipt from within the Services to track subscription status. You hereby authorize the Payment Agent to bill Your credit card or other payment instrument in advance on a periodic basis in accordance with the terms of the Service Plan for the Services until Your subscription to the Services terminates, and You further agree to pay any Subscription Charges so incurred. You agree to promptly update Your Account information with any changes (for example, a change in Your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. The Payment Agent uses a third-party intermediary to manage credit card processing and this intermediary is not permitted to store, retain or use Your billing information except to process Your credit card information for the Payment Agent.

5.6 Payments made by credit card, debit card or certain other payment instruments for the Ambition Service are billed and processed by Ambition’s Payment Agent. To the extent the Payment Agent is not Ambition, the Payment Agent is acting solely as a billing and processing agent for and on behalf of Ambition and shall not be construed to be providing the applicable Service.

5.7 If You mandate Ambition use a vendor payment portal or compliance portal which charges Ambition a subscription fee or a percentage of any uploaded invoice as a required cost of doing business, You shall be invoiced by Ambition for, and You are obligated to pay, the cost of this fee.

6. CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION

6.1 Either Party may elect to terminate Your Account and subscription to a Service as of the end of Your then current Subscription Term by providing notice, in accordance with this Agreement, on or prior to the date thirty (30) days preceding the end of such Subscription Term. Unless Your Account and subscription to a Service is so terminated, Your subscription to a Service (including any and all Deployed Associated Services) will renew for a Subscription Term equivalent in length to the then expiring Subscription Term. Unless otherwise provided for in an Order Form, the Subscription Charges applicable to Your subscription to a Service for any such subsequent Subscription Term shall be Our standard Subscription Charges for the Service Plan and Deployed Associated Services to which You have subscribed or which You have deployed, as applicable, as of the time such subsequent Subscription Term commences.

8.1 UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) WILL EITHER PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THEIR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES OR BUSINESS, LOST DATA, (BEING DATA LOST IN THE COURSE OF TRANSMISSION VIA YOUR SYSTEMS OR OVER THE INTERNET THROUGH NO FAULT OF AMBITION), BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR FOR ANY TYPE OF INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE LOSS OR DAMAGES, OR ANY OTHER LOSS OR DAMAGES INCURRED BY THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES OR CONSULTING SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF OR COULD HAVE FORESEEN SUCH DAMAGES.

8.2 NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, AMBITION’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU, ANY AFFILIATE, OR ANY THIRD PARTY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES OR CONSULTING SERVICES, SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE SUBSCRIPTION CHARGES AND/OR CONSULTING FEES PAID BY YOU DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE FIRST EVENT OR OCCURRENCE GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION 8.2 IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND LIMIT POTENTIAL LIABILITY GIVEN THE SUBSCRIPTION CHARGES AND CONSULTING FEES, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER IF WE WERE TO ASSUME ANY FURTHER LIABILITY OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH HEREIN. WE HAVE RELIED ON THESE LIMITATIONS IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE RIGHTS TO ACCESS AND USE THE SERVICES AND/OR CONSULTING SERVICES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT. THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVIDED FOR HEREIN WILL APPLY IN AGGREGATE TO SUBSCRIBER AND ITS AFFILIATES AND SHALL NOT BE CUMULATIVE.

8.3 Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages or personal injury or death, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply to You. IN THESE JURISDICTIONS, AMBITION’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

8.4 Any claims or damages that You may have against Ambition shall only be enforceable against Ambition and not any other entity or its officers, directors, representatives or agents.

9. INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 We will indemnify and hold You harmless from and against any claim brought by a third party against You by reason of Your use of a Service as permitted hereunder, alleging that such Service infringes or misappropriates a third party’s valid patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret (an “IP Claim”). We shall, at Our expense, defend such IP Claim and pay damages finally awarded against You in connection therewith, including the reasonable fees and expenses of the attorneys engaged by Ambition for such defense, provided that (a) You promptly notify Ambition of the threat or notice of such IP Claim; (b) We will have the sole and exclusive control and authority to select defense attorneys, and defend and/or settle any such IP Claim; and (c) You fully cooperate with Ambition in connection therewith. If use of a Service by You or End-Users has become, or, in Our opinion, is likely to become, the subject of any such IP Claim, We may, at Our option and expense, (a) procure for You the right to continue using the Service(s) as set forth hereunder; (b) replace or modify a Service to make it non-infringing; or (c) if options (a) or (b) are not commercially reasonable or practicable as determined by Ambition, terminate Your subscription to the Service(s) and repay You, on a pro-rata basis, any Subscription Charges previously paid to Ambition for the corresponding unused portion of Your Subscription Term for such Service(s). We will have no liability or obligation under this Section 9.1 with respect to any IP Claim if such claim is caused in whole or in part by (i) compliance with designs, data, instructions or specifications provided by You; (ii) modification of the Service(s) by anyone other than Ambition; or (iii) the combination, operation or use of the Service(s) with other hardware or software where a Service would not by itself be infringing.

The provisions of this Section 9.1 state the sole, exclusive and entire liability of Ambition to You and constitute Your sole remedy with respect to an IP Claim brought by reason of access to or use of a Service by You or End-Users.

9.2 You will indemnify and hold Ambition harmless against any claim (i) arising from or related to use of a Service by You or End-Users in breach of this Agreement; or (ii) alleging that the intellectual property rights of a third party have been violated; provided (a) We promptly notify You of the threat or notice of such claim; (b) You will have the sole and exclusive control and authority to select defense attorneys, and defend and/or settle any such claim (however, You shall not settle or compromise any claim that results in liability or admission of any liability by Us without Our prior written consent); and (c) We fully cooperate with You in connection therewith.

SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

SECTION 1: SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT

The Services shall be available 99.9%, measured monthly, excluding holidays and weekends and scheduled maintenance.  If Customer requests maintenance during these hours, any uptime or downtime calculation will exclude periods affected by such maintenance.  Further, any downtime resulting from outages of third party connections or utilities or other reasons beyond Company’s control will also be excluded from any such calculation. Customer's sole and exclusive remedy, and Company's entire liability, in connection with Service availability shall be that for each period of downtime lasting longer than one hour, Company will credit Customer 5% of Service fees for each period of 30 or more consecutive minutes of downtime; provided that no more than one such credit will accrue per day.  Downtime shall begin to accrue as soon as Customer (with notice to Company) recognizes that downtime is taking place, and continues until the availability of the Services is restored. In order to receive downtime credit, Customer must notify Company in writing within 24 hours from the time of downtime, and failure to provide such notice will forfeit the right to receive downtime credit. Such credits may not be redeemed for cash and shall not be cumulative beyond a total of credits for one (1) week of Service Fees in any one (1) calendar month in any event.  Company will only apply a credit to the month in which the incident occurred. Company’s blocking of data communications or other Service in accordance with its policies shall not be deemed to be a failure of Company to provide adequate service levels under this Agreement.

 

SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

SECTION 2: HOW WE PROTECT SERVICE DATA

Ambition is committed to providing a robust and comprehensive security program including the security measures set forth in these Supplemental Terms (“Security Measures”). During the Subscription Term, these Security Measures may change without notice, as standards evolve or as additional controls are implemented or existing controls are modified as We deem reasonably necessary.

Security Measures Utilized by Us

As provided for in Section 3.2 of the Agreement, We will abide by these Security Measures to protect Service Data as is reasonably necessary to provide the Services:

1. Security Policies and Personnel. We have and will maintain a managed security program to identify risks and implement preventative technology, as well as technology and processes for common attack mitigation. This program is and will be reviewed on a regular basis to provide for continued effectiveness and accuracy. We have, and will maintain, a full-time information security team responsible for monitoring and reviewing security infrastructure for Our networks, systems and services, responding to security incidents, and developing and delivering training to Our employees in compliance with Our security policies.

2. Data Transmission. We will maintain commercially reasonable administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of Service Data. These safeguards include encryption of Service Data in transmission (using TLS or similar technologies) over the internet, except for any Third Party Services that does not support encryption, which You may link to through the Services at Your election.

3. Incident Response. We have an incident management process for security events that may affect the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of Our systems or data that includes a response time under which Ambition will contact its subscribers upon verification of a security incident that affects Your Service Data. This process specifies courses of action, procedures for notification, escalation, mitigation, and documentation.

4. Access Control and Privilege Management. We restrict administrative access to subscriber production systems to operational personnel. We require such personnel to have unique IDs and associated cryptographic keys. These keys are used to authenticate and identify each person’s activities on Our systems, including access to Service Data. Upon hire, Our operational personnel are assigned unique keys. Upon termination, these keys are revoked. Access rights and levels are based on Our employees’ job function and role, using the concepts of least-privilege and need-to-know to match access privileges to defined responsibilities.

5. Network Management and Security. The data centers utilized by Us maintain industry standard fully redundant and secure network architecture with reasonably sufficient bandwidth as well as redundant network infrastructure to mitigate the impact of individual component failure. Our security team utilizes industry standard utilities to provide defense against known common unauthorized network activity, monitors security advisory lists for vulnerabilities, and undertakes regular external vulnerability audits.

6. Data Center Environment and Physical Security. The data center environments which are utilized by Us in connection with Our provision of the Service employ the following security measures:

  • A security organization responsible for physical security functions 24x7x365.

  • Access to areas where systems or system components are installed or stored within data centers is restricted through security measures and policies consistent with industry standards.

  • N+1 uninterruptible power supply and HVAC systems, backup power generator architecture and advanced fire suppression.

Technical and Organizational Security Measures for Third-Party Service Providers

As provided for in Section 3.5 of the Agreement, any third-party service providers that are utilized by Ambition will only be given access to Your Account and Service Data as is reasonably necessary to provide the Service and will be subject to, among the other requirements in Section 3.5, their implementing and maintaining compliance with the following appropriate technical and organizational security measures:

1. Physical Access Controls. Third-party service providers shall take reasonable measures, such as security personnel and secured buildings and factory premises, to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining physical access to data processing systems in which Service Data is Processed.

2. System Access Controls. Third-party service providers shall take reasonable measures to prevent data processing systems from being used without authorization. These controls shall vary based on the nature of Processing undertaken and may include, among other controls, authentication via passwords and/or two-factor authentication, documented authorization processes, documented change management processes, and/or logging of access on several levels.

3. Data Access Controls. Third-party service providers shall take reasonable measures to provide that Service Data is accessible and manageable only by properly authorized staff, direct database query access is restricted and application access rights are established and enforced to ensure that persons entitled to access Service Data only have access to Service Data to which they have privilege of access; and, that Service Data cannot be read, copied, modified or removed without authorization in the course of Processing.

4. Transmission Controls. Third-party service providers shall take reasonable measures to ensure that it is possible to check and establish to which entities the transfer of Service Data by means of data transmission facilities is envisaged so Service Data cannot be read, copied, modified or removed without authorization during electronic transmission or transport.

5. Input Controls. Third-party service providers shall take reasonable measures designed to ensure that it is possible to check and establish whether and by whom Service Data has been entered into data processing systems, modified or removed; and, any of transfer of Service Data to a third-party service provider is made via a secure transmission.

6. Data Protection. Third-party service providers shall take reasonable measures designed to ensure that Service Data is secured to protect against accidental destruction or loss.

7. Logical Separation. Third-party service providers shall logically segregate Service Data from the data of other parties on its systems to ensure that Service Data may be Processed separately.

 

SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

SECTION 3: CONSULTING SERVICES

If Subscriber has engaged Ambition for the provision of professional services (including any training, success, and implementation services, “Consulting Services”) as indicated on an Order Form, or other written document such as a Statement of Work, the provision of such Consulting Services will be governed by the Agreement, including these Supplemental Terms. Unless otherwise agreed to in a Statement of Work, Subscriber agrees that any Consulting Services must be scheduled for completion by Subscriber within six (6) months following the commencement of the Subscription Term as indicated on the Order Form. In consideration of the foregoing, Subscriber and Ambition, intending to be legally bound, agree to the terms set forth below.

1. Scope. All Consulting Services pursuant to the Agreement provided by Ambition to Subscriber will be outlined in one or more mutually agreed-upon and jointly executed Statement of Work(s) (“SOW(s)”) 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.

2. Retention. Subscriber hereby retains Ambition to provide the Consulting Services described in one or more SOWs, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. Ambition shall not be obligated to perform any Consulting Services until both Parties have mutually agreed upon and executed an SOW with respect to such Consulting Services. After execution of an SOW, the Consulting Services to be provided under that SOW may only be changed through a change order mutually executed by the Parties (“Change Order”).

3. Performance of Consulting Services.

3.1 Each SOW will include reasonable details about Consulting Services, including, at a minimum, the Consulting Fees charged and the Consulting Services provided. Ambition and Subscriber 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 (“Subscriber’s Representative” and “Ambition’s Representative”, respectively). Any Subcontractor (defined below) designated by Ambition to perform any portion of the Consulting Services will designate a representative to interface with Subscriber and Ambition on all matters relating to Subcontractor’s performance of Consulting Services (“Subcontractor’s Representative”).

3.3 Ambition will perform the Consulting Services through qualified employees and/or non-employee contractors of Ambition (“Subcontractors” and together with Ambition’s employees for the purposes of these Supplemental Terms, “Consulting Services Personnel”). Subscriber agrees to provide, at no cost to Ambition, timely and adequate assistance and other resources reasonably requested by Ambition to enable the performance of the Consulting Services (collectively, “Assistance”). Neither Ambition, nor its Subcontractors will be liable for any deficiency in performance of Consulting Services to the extent resulting from any acts or omissions of Subscriber, including but not limited to, Subscriber’s failure to provide Assistance as required hereunder.

3.4 In performing the Consulting Services, Ambition will provide such resources, and utilize Consulting Services Personnel as it deems necessary to perform the Consulting Services or any portion thereof. Subscriber may object to Ambition’s election of Subcontractors by specifying its objection to Ambition, in which case the Parties will cooperate in good faith to appoint another Subcontractor to perform such Consulting Services. Ambition may replace Consulting Services Personnel in its normal course of business, provided that Ambition will be responsible for the performance of Consulting Services by all Consulting Services Personnel.

3.5 Ambition 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 Personnel performing Consulting Services. Ambition will maintain such number of qualified Consulting Services Personnel and appropriate facilities and other resources sufficient to perform Ambition’s obligations under the Agreement in accordance with its terms.

3.6 With Subscriber’s approval, Ambition may enter (“assume into”) Subscriber’s Account as needed to provide the Consulting Services.

3.7 In the event that Subscriber seeks to change the scope of Consulting Services to be provided under any SOW (including, but not limited to, any changes to the project schedule described in the SOW), Subscriber shall discuss such proposed changes with Ambition. If Ambition elects to perform such changes to the Consulting Services, the Parties shall work together in good faith to execute a Change Order. Ambition shall be entitled to an adjustment in Consulting Fees pursuant to the changes reflected in the Change Order. Ambition 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 For SOWs that are deliverable/milestone based, upon delivery of all deliverables or completion of all milestones detailed in the SOW, Ambition shall provide Subscriber with written notice (“Completion Notice”). Thereafter, Subscriber shall have five (5) days after the date of the Completion Notice to provide Ambition with written notice describing any deliverables that have not been provided or milestones not met. The SOW shall be deemed complete and the deliverables accepted absent Subscriber’s timely written notice of any deliverables or milestones not having been met. For the avoidance of doubt, a Completion Notice shall not be necessary for SOWs that are time and materials based.

4. Consulting Fees; Payment Terms.

4.1 Subscriber will pay Ambition the fees to provide the Consulting Services as detailed or described in an Order Form or SOW (the “Consulting Fees”). Unless agreed upon otherwise in the applicable SOW or Order Form, Ambition shall invoice Subscriber for the Consulting Services provided on a monthly basis. All Consulting Fees are due and payable upon date of invoice, except for Consulting Fees that Subscriber disputes in good faith for reasons articulated in writing by Subscriber within thirty (30) days after receiving such invoice.

4.2 All Consulting Services will be provided on either a time and materials or fixed-fee basis, as indicated in the applicable SOW. Each SOW 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”). Ambition 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. Ambition will make a reasonable effort to notify Subscriber as soon as practicable if it appears that T&M Estimate may be exceeded. Upon receiving such amended T&M Estimate, Subscriber will assess, and accept or reject the amended T&M Estimate. Unless Subscriber rejects such amended T&M Estimate within five (5) days of delivery, such amended T&M Estimate shall be deemed accepted by Subscriber and Subscriber 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 or is deemed accepted by Subscriber shall be deemed a Change Order.

4.3 The performance of Consulting Services may be subject to a retainer to be paid in advance by Subscriber upon execution and delivery of the SOW. Such retainer will be applied against Consulting Fees which become payable by Subscriber. Ambition may refuse to perform Consulting Services unless and until such retainer is paid to Ambition.

4.4 In addition to any and all Consulting Fees, Subscriber will reimburse Ambition for any reasonable expenses for travel, lodging, communications, shipping charges and out-of-pocket expenses, including change Consulting Fees to travel and accommodations resulting from Subscriber’s request incurred by Ambition in connection with providing the Consulting Services (“Expenses”). Ambition will provide reasonable documentation for all Expenses as requested by Subscriber. Subscriber shall reimburse Ambition for Expenses within thirty (30) days of submission of the Expenses to Subscriber by Ambition.

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/changes less than five (5) days prior to agreed Consulting Services commencement date are subject to forfeiture of Consulting Fees paid and reserved date(s).

5. Relationship of the Parties. Ambition is an independent contractor and will maintain complete control of and responsibility for its Consulting Services Personnel, methods and operations in providing Consulting Services. Ambition at no time will hold itself out as an agent, subsidiary or affiliate of Subscriber 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 Subscriber to Ambition hereunder shall not be considered salary for pension or wage tax purposes and neither Ambition nor its Consulting Services Personnel will be entitled to any fringe benefits, including sick or vacation pay, or other supplemental benefits of Subscriber, unless otherwise required by law. Subscriber 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.

6. Warranties.

6.1 Ambition hereby represents and warrants that:

  1. the Consulting Services provided pursuant to the Agreement will be performed in a timely and professional manner by Ambition and its Consulting Services Personnel, consistent with generally-accepted industry standards; provided that Subscriber’s sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of this warranty will be, at Ambition’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 Ambition by Subscriber for the nonconforming portion of the Consulting Services; and

  2. it is under no contractual or other restrictions or obligations which are inconsistent with the execution of the Agreement, or, to its best knowledge, which will interfere with its performance of the Consulting Services.

FURTHER, AMBITION 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 AMBITION OR ITS AFFILIATES UNDER THE AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES AS APPLICABLE TO SUBSCRIBER AND ANY THIRD PARTY’S USE OF THE SERVICES.

7. Rights to Deliverables; Ownership.

7.1 The Parties hereby agree that the specified Consulting Services to be completed pursuant to any SOW primarily involve the configuration of Subscriber’s subscription to a Service and integration of Subscriber data with and into one or more Services 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.
