ASSETWORKS USA, INC.
MASTER AGREEMENT
This Master Agreement is between AssetWorks USA, Inc., with offices located at 400 Holiday Drive, Suite 200, Pittsburgh, PA 15220 (“AssetWorks”), and ___, with offices located at ______ (“Customer”) (Individually a “Party” and jointly the “Parties). The Master Agreement consists of the terms and conditions listed below, as well as the details on the Order Form and the listed Attachments (together, the “Agreement”). It is effective on the date the Order Form is signed by both Parties (“Effective Date”).
- The Order Form is subject to the following terms and conditions unless Customer has a separate written and signed agreement with AssetWorks. Your right to use the products and services is conditioned upon acceptance of this Agreement.
These terms shall apply to the products, software, and services on the Order Form as applicable:
- Attachment 1 Software License Terms
- Attachment 2 Software Maintenance Terms
- Attachment 3 Professional Services Terms
- Attachment 4 SaaS Terms
- Attachment 5 Hardware Terms
2. CONFIDENTIALITY and NON-DISCLOSURE
A. Confidentiality
- Because either Party may have access to information of the other Party that the other Party considers to be confidential or proprietary (“Confidential Information”), each Party will maintain all Confidential Information in confidence and will use it solely in the discharge of its obligations under this Agreement and any applicable Statement of Work. Nothing herein will be deemed to restrict a Party from disclosing Confidential Information to its employees and subcontractors in the discharge of such obligations. The Parties agree that AssetWork’s SOC2 reports may be provided under this Agreement and shall not be disclosed to any other party without the express written consent of AssetWorks.
- Confidential Information will not include information that (i) is, or becomes, generally known or available through no fault of the, recipient; (ii) is known to the recipient at the time of its receipt from the disclosing Party; (iii) the disclosing Party provides to a third party without restrictions on disclosure; (iv) is subsequently and rightfully provided to the recipient by a third party without restriction on disclosure; (v) is independently developed by the recipient, without reference to the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or (vi) is required to be disclosed pursuant to a governmental agency or court subpoena, provided the recipient promptly notifies the disclosing Party of such subpoena to allow it reasonable time to seek a protective order or other appropriate relief.
- Because of the unique nature of the Confidential Information, each Party agrees that the disclosing Party may suffer irreparable harm in the event the recipient fails to comply with its obligations under this Section 5, and that monetary damages may be inadequate to compensate the disclosing Party for such breach. Accordingly, the recipient agrees that the disclosing Party may, in addition to any other remedies available to it, be entitled to injunctive relief.
B. Non-Disclosure
- Subject to the other paragraphs in this Section, Customer agrees that the Software shall be held in confidence by Customer and shall not be disclosed to others without the prior written consent of AssetWorks, which may be withheld by AssetWorks in its sole discretion.
- AssetWorks provides documentation for the Software electronically. The Customer may copy, in whole or in part, any such documentation relative to the Software for Customer’s internal use consistent with this Agreement.
- Customer’s records with regard to use of the Software shall be made available to AssetWorks at all reasonable times at AssetWorks’ request to audit Customer’s compliance with this Agreement, and Customer shall certify to the truth and accuracy of such records.
- INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
A. Customer and AssetWorks shall each retain ownership of, and all right, title, and interest in and to, their respective pre-existing Intellectual Property.
B. The Services performed, code developed, and any Intellectual Property produced pursuant to this Agreement are not “works for hire.”
C. As used herein, “Intellectual Property” shall mean inventions (whether or not patentable), works of authorship, trade secrets, copyright, techniques, know-how, ideas, concepts, algorithms, and other intellectual property incorporated into any Statement of Work or Deliverable whether or not first created or developed by AssetWorks in providing the Services.
D. Notwithstanding any order of precedence language, or other conflicting terms and conditions contained in any document considered to be part of this Agreement, regardless of incorporation method, including, but not limited to, (i) click-through process, (ii) attaching a copy hereto, (iii) reference, or (iv) similar processes are for Customer’s internal purposes only and any provisions contained therein shall have no effect whatsoever upon this Agreement. For clarity, execution of a Customer Purchase Order shall be considered an acknowledgement of receipt of said Customer Purchase Order and shall not be deemed to satisfy the terms of Section 15 Amendments/Supplements of this Agreement.
E. The terms of this Section 3. Intellectual Property shall take precedence over any/all conflicting terms and conditions located elsewhere, and any conflicting terms are specifically objected to and rejected by AssetWorks.
4. FEES AND PAYMENT. For recurring services, unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, AssetWorks shall invoice Customer in advance. All invoiced fees shall be due and payable within 30 days of the date of the invoice. For Professional Services, invoices shall be sent either monthly or upon completion of milestones (as defined in the SOW included in the Order Form) and include charges defined in the Order Form unless otherwise specifically stated in the Order Form. All payments shall be made in United States Dollars without deduction for any taxes or withholding or other offset. The pricing on the Order Form is based upon the quantities listed at the time of purchase. In the event that the number of licenses, assets or sites changes the pricing is subject to change.
Any amounts not paid when due will be subject to interest accrued at 12% per annum compounded quarterly, which interest will be immediately due and payable from the due date for payment until the date of actual receipt of the amount in cleared funds by AssetWorks. Interest payments that are accrued during billing disputes will be credited back to the Customer if said dispute is found to be through no fault of the Customer.
Customer will be considered delinquent if payment in full is not received 45 days from the date of the invoice. AssetWorks reserves the right to suspend or terminate this Agreement and Customer access to the Service if the Customer account becomes delinquent and is not cured within 10 days. Customer will continue to be charged and hereby agrees to pay for Service during any period of suspension. Customer’s failure to pay any invoice after this 10-day period shall constitute a material default hereunder and shall entitle AssetWorks to exercise any and all rights and remedies provided herein or at law including a suspension of Services under the Agreement. If Customer or AssetWorks initiate termination under any provision of the Agreement other than under Section 4, Customer will be obligated to pay the balance due for the remainder of the term for its account computed in accordance with the Order Form. Customer agrees that it shall be billed for such unpaid fees. In the event of a dispute between the Parties that does not result in a termination of the Agreement, Customer agrees to make all Monthly Service Fee payments due under the Agreement pending the resolution of the dispute.
Upon termination for whatever reason and regardless of the nature of the default (if any), Customer agrees to pay AssetWorks in full for Services provided to Customer under this Agreement within 30 days of the invoice date.
5. TERM. The Term of the Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall continue for 5 years (“Initial Term”) unless terminated earlier as set forth below. At the end of the Initial Term, the Agreement shall automatically renew for successive 1-year terms unless or until either Party provides the other Party with written notice of non-renewal at least 90 days prior to the end of the then current term.
6. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. Except as expressly set forth herein, AssetWorks disclaims all warranties relating to the services or deliverables provided hereunder, including but not limited to any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose or merchantability.
7. TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT. A Default shall occur if: (1) a Party fails to perform any of its material obligations under the Agreement and such failure remains uncured for 30 days after receipt of written notice thereof; or (2) a Party ceases to conduct business, becomes or is declared insolvent or bankrupt, is the subject of any proceeding relating to its liquidation or insolvency which is not dismissed within 90 days or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors.
If Default occurs, the non-defaulting Party, in addition to any other rights available to it under law or equity, may withhold its performance hereunder or may terminate the Agreement by written notice to the defaulting Party. Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, remedies shall be cumulative and there shall be no obligation to exercise a particular remedy.
If Customer terminates this Agreement other than pursuant to this Section 4, a Service Termination Fee equal to 100% of the current Annual Service Fees times the number of remaining years in the Term of this Agreement.
8. GOVERNING LAW; VENUE. The Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to choice-of-law principles. The sole jurisdiction and venue for actions related to the subject matter hereof shall be the state and Federal courts in Delaware. Both Parties consent to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objections regarding venue in such courts.
9. ASSIGNMENT. Neither the Agreement nor any duties or obligations hereunder shall be assigned or transferred by Customer without the prior written approval of AssetWorks, which approval may be withheld in the reasonable judgment of the AssetWorks. Customer agrees that AssetWorks may assign its obligations to a third-party without consent of customer in the event of an internal reorganization. All fees will remain intact as outlined in the Order Form.
10. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of the Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any manner.
11. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The Agreement and any schedules and exhibits thereto contain the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and replaces any and all prior or contemporaneous proposals, discussions, agreements, understandings, commitments, representations of any kind, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof or the Services to be provided hereunder. It is understood and agreed between the Parties that terms and conditions, if any, included in Customer’s purchase order or similar document, regardless of inclusion methods including, but not limited to, (i) click-through process, (ii) attaching a copy hereto, (iii) reference, or (iv) similar processes, are for Customer’s internal purposes only and any provisions contained therein shall have no effect whatsoever upon this Agreement. For clarity, execution of a Customer Purchase Order shall be considered an acknowledgement of receipt of said Customer Purchase Order and shall not be deemed to satisfy the terms of Section 15 Amendments/Supplements of this Agreement.
12. FORCE MAJEURE. Neither Party shall be liable for any failure of or delay in performance of its obligations (except for payment obligations) under this Agreement to the extent such failure or delay is due to acts of God, acts of a public enemy, fires, floods, power outages, wars, civil disturbances, sabotage, terrorism, accidents, insurrections, blockades, embargoes, storms, explosions, labor disputes (whether or not the employees’ demands are reasonable and/or within the Party’s power to satisfy), failure of common carriers, Internet Service Providers, or other communication devices, acts of cyber criminals, terrorists or other criminals, acts of any governmental body (whether civil or military, foreign or domestic), failure or delay of third-parties or governmental bodies from whom a party is obtaining or must obtain approvals, authorizations, licenses, franchises or permits, inability to obtain labor, epidemics, pandemics, materials, power, equipment, or transportation, or other circumstances beyond its reasonable control (collectively referred to herein as “Force Majeure Occurrences”), however, nothing in this section shall relieve Customer of the obligation to make payments for any products or services provided by AssetWorks. Any delays shall not be a breach of or failure to perform this Agreement or any part thereof and the date on which the obligations hereunder are due to be fulfilled shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost as a result of such delays. Neither Party shall be liable to the other for any liability claims, damages or other loss caused by or resulting from a Force Majeure Occurrence.
13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Except for any expressly provided indemnification obligations, Customer agrees that AssetWorks’ total liability to Customer for any and all damages whatsoever arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement or any amendment to this Agreement, from any cause, including but not limited to negligence, errors, omissions, strict liability, breach of contract or breach of warranty shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the amount of fees paid to AssetWorks in the 12 months preceding the date on which the claim arose. In no event shall AssetWorks be liable for special, indirect, incidental, economic, consequential or punitive damages, including but not limited to lost revenue, lost profits, replacement goods, loss of technology rights or services, loss or corruption of data, or interruption or loss of use of software or any portion thereof regardless of the legal theory under which such damages are sought even if AssetWorks has been advised of the likelihood of such damages, and notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy.
14. WAIVER. No provision of the Agreement may be waived unless in writing, signed by both of the Parties hereto. Waiver of default of any provision of the Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent default of such provision, nor shall a waiver of any one provision of the Agreement be deemed to be a waiver of any other provision.
15. AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS. The Agreement may be amended or supplemented only by the mutual written consent of the Parties’ authorized representative(s).
16. BINDING EFFECT, BENEFITS. The Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

19. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. The relationship of the Parties shall at all times be one of independent contractors. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the Parties.
20. CONFLICTING PROVISIONS.

21. COUNTERPARTS. The Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Because either Party may have access to information of the other Party that the other Party considers to be confidential or proprietary (“Confidential Information”), each Party will maintain all Confidential Information in confidence and will use it solely in the discharge of its obligations under this Agreement and any applicable Statement of Work.

This exclusion of tax liability is also applicable to any goods and/or services that may be provided by AssetWorks under any later Order Form or amendment hereto regardless of changes in legislation or policy.
b. In the event a taxing authority conducts an audit of this Agreement and determines that an additional tax should have been imposed on the Services or Deliverables provided by AssetWorks to Customer (other than those taxes levied on AssetWorks income), Customer shall reimburse AssetWorks for any such additional tax, including interest and penalties thereon. Similarly, if a taxing authority determines that a refund of tax is due as it relates to the Services or Deliverables provided by AssetWorks to Customer (except those taxes relating to AssetWorks income), AssetWorks shall reimburse Customer such refund, including any interest paid thereon by the taxing authority.
- Termination for Default. Either Party may terminate any Statement of Work if (i) the other Party fails to perform a material obligation of the Statement of Work and such failure remains uncured for a period of 30 days after receipt of notice from the non-breaching Party specifying such failure; or (ii) a Party ceases to conduct business, becomes or is declared insolvent or bankrupt, is the subject of any proceeding relating to its liquidation or insolvency which is not dismissed within 90 days or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors. In addition, AssetWorks may terminate any Statement of Work effective immediately upon written notice to Customer if Customer fails to make any payment in full as and when due hereunder.
