Consultant. Payments due to Consultant and which remain unpaid shall
bear interest thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice at a rate of one
and a half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum amount permitted
by law. Consultant is entitled to recover any and all legal fees and any
other costs expended if it becomes necessary to pursue legal actions to
collect fees due hereunder. Client expressly acknowledges that
Consultant shall be entitled to a judgement for its attorney fees and court
costs attributable to the collection of its fees which are ultimately
adjudicated/arbitrated to be rightfully due and owing. Failure of the
Client to make payments to Consultant in accordance with this
Agreement shall be considered substantial non-performance and
grounds for Consultant to terminate the Agreement. Consultants full
payment pursuant to this section shall be a condition precedent for its
obligation of performance. Reimbursable Expenses will be billed at cost.
Reimbursable Expenses include the actual expenses incurred directly or
indirectly in connection with the project such as those for travel
(including transportation, meals, and associated expenses); reproduction
and/or printing of Project-related documents, delivery, and
express/courier services. This fee is in addition to the budget. No back-
up data for time or copies of bills or receipts for Reimbursable Expenses
will be provided unless otherwise agreed at the outset. The Client shall
pay any goods or services tax in respect of the services and all invoices
are stated exclusive of such taxes and net of any withholding tax.
No Solicitation of Employees: The Client agrees and acknowledges that it
will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or hire an employee of the Consultant
or induce any Consultant employee to terminate his or her employment
with Consultant without the express written consent of Consultant.
Recognizing that the Consultant has expended a substantial investment
in recruitment, advertising, testing, and training of their personnel, the
Client agrees that if it violates this clause and hires a Consultant
employee within one year of the completion of the Project, it shall pay
Consultant for each employee thus hired, the amount of one years
salary, at the last level of annual remuneration that the employee
received from Consultant.
Confidential Reliance: Consultant shall not, save in the proper course of
carrying out their obligations under this Agreement, disclose to any
person or otherwise make use of any confidential information obtained in
the course of the Agreement relating to the Client. If the Deliverable is a
report, it is understood by the Client that it is intended for and may be
relied upon only by the Client and other expressly identified Project
stakeholders. Consultant shall be entitled to rely on the completeness
and accuracy of services, information, and documents furnished by or on
behalf of the Client.
Dispute Resolution: In mutual recognition of the negative consequences
associated with disputes both in terms of lost time and expenses to all
parties, the Client and Consultant agree to settle their disputes by good-
faith mediation as a condition precedent to the institution of legal
proceedings by either party. If mediation would jeopardize the
substantive rights of either party due to the application of any applicable
statute of limitations, then mediation will be required during the dispute
resolution process to the extent it may be used without jeopardizing the
substantive rights of either party. The parties shall share the mediators
fee and any court or associated legal filing fees equally. The mediation
shall be held in the state or province and locality of the Consultant,
unless another location is mutually agreed upon. In the event that the
matter cannot be resolved through (or is not appropriate for) negotiation
or mediation, the dispute shall be submitted for determination in the
applicable courts of the state/province where the Consultant is located
and this Agreement shall be subject to and construed on accordance
with the laws of that state or province. The Client shall not assert any
claim against the Consultant more than three (3) years after the date of
substantial completion of the Project.
Notices/Modifications/No Waiver/Force Majeure: Any and all notices or
other communications required by this Agreement or by law to be served
on, given to, or delivered to either party, shall be in writing and shall be
deemed received upon receipt of telegraphic, facsimile, or electronic
notice. The Agreement may be amended on by written modification
executed by both parties and may not be assigned without the written
permission of the non-assigning party. The failure to put into effect,
exercise, or enforce any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement
shall not be deemed a waiver of such term, condition, or provision or the
partys right to enforce it. Should any part of this Agreement be rendered
or declared illegal, legally invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining parts
of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The language shall
not be construed for or against either party, regardless of who drafted it.
This agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which will be deemed an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same document and a signature by facsimile or
electronic mail may be used by any party to this Agreement as if it were
an original signature. Each party shall execute and deliver all such further
documents and instruments and take all such further action as may be
reasonably required or appropriate to carry out the intent and purpose of
this Agreement. Neither the Client or the Consultant shall be held
accountable or penalized under the terms of this Agreement for failure to
perform which is occasioned by war, strike, Act of God, natural disaster,
or other casualty beyond the reasonable control of the Client or
Consultant.
