Exhibit 10.1
Hotchek Mobile App and Portal Development Agreement Between XxxxXxxxxxx.xxx, Inc. and CLIENT.
CLIENT. (referred to herein as "CLIENT") has engaged XxxxXxxxxxx.xxx, Inc. (referred herein as "CONTRACTOR") for the specific purpose of website development and/or Internet related services.
1. SERVICES RENDERED. CONTRACTOR agrees to perform following website development and/or Internet related services as outlined and agreed to in attached Statement of Work. Multiple Statements of Work can be a part of this agreement. Each Statement of Work must refer to this agreement and signed by both parties to be legal.
2. PAYMENT. All charges agreed upon and which may accrue shall become due and payable to CONTRACTOR as described in attached and signed Payment Schedule.
3. ADDITIONAL SERVICES. The terms and conditions set forth in this document constitute the sole agreement between CONTRACTOR and the CLIENT regarding the website development and/or Internet related services. Any additional work not specified in this contract or in the Statement of Work must be authorized in writing.
4. CONTRACTOR’s PERFORMANCE. CONTRACTOR agrees to perform all tasks assigned to CONTRACTOR as set forth in this Agreement, Statement of Work, Payment Schedule, or a Change Order, and to provide all assistance and cooperation to CLIENT. CONTRACTOR agrees to begin the development immediately upon acceptance of this Agreement and deposit payment by the CLIENT. CLIENT shall hereby acknowledge and agree that CONTRACTOR and its suppliers will not be liable for any temporary delay, outages or interruptions of the services. Further, CONTRACTOR shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, where such delay or failure results from any act of God or other cause beyond its reasonable control (including, without limitation, any mechanical, electronic, communication, or third-party supplier failure). CONTRACTOR is responsible for the performance of the software after it has been installed. If, for some reason, the CLIENT is at fault for the software not performing, then a written quote from CONTRACTOR will be submitted for approval of the work required to fix the software. All other failures due to the software will be responsibility of CONTRACTOR to repair back to acceptable performance.
5. CLIENT’s RESPONSIBILITIES. CLIENT agrees to perform all tasks assigned to CLIENT as set forth in this Agreement, Statement of Work, Payment Schedule, or a Change Order, and to provide all assistance and cooperation to CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR shall not be deemed in breach of this Agreement in the event CONTRACTOR's failure to meet its responsibilities and time schedules is caused by CLIENT's failure to meet (or delay in) its responsibilities and time schedules set forth in the Statement of Work, Payment Schedule, a Change Order, or this Agreement. In the event of any such failure or delay by CLIENT, (i) all of CONTRACTOR's time frames, milestones, and/or deadlines shall be extended by the number of days of CLIENT's failure multiplied by two (2); and (ii) CLIENT shall continue to make timely payments to CONTRACTOR as set forth in this Agreement, the Payment Schedule, and any Change Order(s) as if all time frames, schedules, or deadlines had been completed by CONTRACTOR. In the event of such failure, CONTRACTOR has a right to substitute project developers and CLIENT will have to cover a reasonable learning curve necessary.
6. SUBCONTRACTING. CONTRACTOR reserves the right to assign other developers to the projects. In such event CONTRACTOR’s subcontractor or subcontractors must be accessible to CLIENT during normal work hours by E-mail and, if requested in writing, ICQ or any instant message system, and/or by phone. CONTRACTOR is responsible for all subcontracting performances as if it was their own.
7. NON-CONTRAVENTION. Neither party shall, directly or indirectly, take any action or do anything, which has the result of reducing, hindering, impairing or eliminating the benefits to be derived from this agreement or the relationship created hereby. Neither party shall confer, negotiate, solicit or try to confer, negotiate or solicit with any contact, CLIENT, customer, supplier, subcontractor or service provider of the other party in order to avoid or evade or reduce or eliminate any obligations, rights or benefits of this agreement. CONTRACTOR cannot directly contract customers of the CLIENT and CLIENT cannot directly contract or employ employees or subcontractors of the CONTRACTOR for any reason other than to perform under this agreement during the terms of this Agreement and for a period of 3 (three) years upon termination of this Agreement, whether because of either party’s default, upon completion, or any other cause. In the event of an already existing direct business between one of the parties, and the other party’s protected interest, section 7 shall not apply. Each party agrees to act in good faith in carrying out the provisions of this Agreement to the best of their abilities.
8. WARRANTIES AND LIABILITY. CONTRACTOR does not warrant that the functions of the Software Development and/or Internet Related Services will meet the CLIENT’s expectations of resulting business.
