Positive will invoice CurAegis Technologies Inc. on a monthly basis in advance on the first day of each month for services provided. Payments are due Net 15. While Positive estimates that these services be delivered over a 12-month period, this contract can be revisited each quarter to ensure that each side is receiving value for the time spent. Positive is committed to the pricing schedule above for the initial term of the contract unless there is a substantial inorganic change to the business, at which time Positive will approach CureAegis with a proposal and discussion about a modified fee structure.
This Agreement shall be automatically renewed for successive one (1) year terms thereafter (each a “Renewal Term”) until and unless either Party provides the other Party with sixty (60) days prior written notice to the end of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term, provided that You may not terminate this SOW in the first six (6) months of the SOW 01 Term if the Services include a subscription to NetSuite or other Third-Party Software. Due to the significant investments being made by Positive in the initial months of the SOW # Term, should You wish to terminate the SOW # services within the first six (6) months of the initial term of this SOW, You shall pay Positive additional fees equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the remaining Services otherwise payable in the SOW # Term.
The above fees are based on your annual revenues being less than $20,000,000.00 USD and is for one (1) Legal Entities. We regularly review your financial statements with you; when you exceed the $20,000,000.00 USD Annual Revenue threshold, we will review our pricing grid with you and will invoke a Project Change Request (“PCR”) as outlined in Appendix A-1. In the event You decide to use Services for additional Legal Entities, we will also issue a PCR to adjust the fees. In the event transaction volumes for any of the activities increase by more than ten percent (10%) from above, we will also issue a PCR to adjust the fees.
Any estimate given by Positive of any charge whether for planning or any other purpose is only an estimate. As these are estimated amounts, actual charges may differ, and we may adjust the mix of hours and rates shown above without a Project Change Request (PCR) as described in Appendix A: Project Change Control Procedure, as long as the Total Services Charges are not exceeded.
