Terms and Conditions

1. Applicability.

(a) These terms and conditions for services (these “Terms”) govern the provision of services by Consero Global Solutions, LLC (“Consero”) to the party identified as “Client” (“Client”) on an “Order Form” executed by Client and incorporating these Terms by reference (an “Order Form”), as of the “Effective Date” of such Order Form (the “Effective Date”). For clarity, an Order Form may include additional documentation, such as a “Responsibility Matrix,” “Statement of Work,” and/or “PAD” authorization (defined below), all of which is referred to herein collectively as an Order Form.

(b) The Order Form, these Terms, and any other document executed by both parties that expressly incorporates these Terms by reference (“Addenda”)(the Order Form, Terms, and Addenda are collectively referred to herein as the “Agreement”) comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. In the event of any conflict between these Terms, the Order Form, and any Addenda, the following order of priority will apply: 1) Order Form, 2) Addenda, and 3) Terms.

(c) This Agreement prevails over any of Client’s general terms and conditions regardless of whether or when Client has submitted its request for proposal, order, or such terms. Provision of services to Client does not constitute acceptance of any of Client’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend the Agreement.

2. Services. Consero will provide the services to Client as described in the Order Form (the “Services”) in accordance with the Agreement. The Services include access to Consero’s finance and accounting software offering, Simpl™, and may include one or more of the following services packages, as denoted on an Order Form:

(a) Core F&A Services/Finance-as-a-Service (FaaS): Accounts payable management, [a]time and expense administration, month-end close, standard financial reporting, access to Consero technology platform. Core F&A Services/FaaS designated as “Growth” or “Premium” on an Order Form include finance leadership consulting services (VP of Finance, CFO, and/or Controller), whereas Core F&A Services/FaaS designated as “Enterprise” or “Essentials” on an Order Form do not include finance leadership consulting services.

(b) Advisory Services: Customized financial leadership and strategic support for a single project or long-term guidance. Scope of work can include, among other things, interim controller support, financial clean-up, financial planning, budgeting, and performance analysis, KPI development, board representation, and M&A transaction support, including deal negotiation and post-transaction assistance.

(c) Flex: Staff augmentation to support Client’s existing financial operations.

Consero may use employees, subcontractors, and other third-party consultants (collectively referred to herein as “Personnel”) in performing the Services. Consero is responsible for the actions and omissions of its Personnel. If the Services include access to an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) platform, as set forth in an Order Form, Client agrees to the applicable terms set forth at [SIAP Terms and Conditions]. Consero will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that implementation of the Services begins on the projected start date (the “Projected Start Date”).

3. Client’s Obligations. Client will:

(a) cooperate with Consero in all matters relating to the Services and provide such access to Client’s data, technology, premises, and such office accommodation and other facilities as may reasonably be requested by Consero, solely for the purpose of Consero’s performance of the Services;

(b) appoint a Client employee, in writing, to serve as the primary contact with respect to this Agreement and who will have the authority to act on behalf of Client with respect to matters pertaining to this Agreement (“Client Contact”). In the absence of any such appointment, the Client Contact will be the party who executes the Order Form.

(c) respond promptly to any Consero request to provide direction, information, approvals, authorizations, or decisions that are reasonably necessary for Consero to perform Services in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement;

(d) provide such Client materials or information as Consero may reasonably request to carry out the Services in a timely manner and ensure that such Client materials or information are complete and accurate in all material respects; and

(e) obtain and maintain all necessary licenses and consents and comply with all applicable laws in relation to the Services before the date on which the Services are to start.

4. Client’s Acts or Omissions. If Consero’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement is prevented or delayed by any act or omission of Client or its agents, subcontractors, consultants, or employees, Consero will not be deemed in breach of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise liable for any costs, charges, or losses sustained or incurred by Client, in each case, to the extent arising directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay. Client further acknowledges and agrees that, if the Services include a recurring monthly service fee, as set forth on an Order Form, and such Services cannot commence on the “Monthly Recurring Services Start Date,” due in whole or part to Client’s acts or omissions, billing for such Services will nevertheless commence on the “Monthly Recurring Services Start Date.”

5. Non-Solicitation. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, Client agrees not to hire any Consero Personnel unless Consero provides prior written consent. In the event that Client breaches this Section 5, Client will pay to Consero an amount equal to 50% of the compensation paid to the subject employee in the first year of employment (the “Liquidated Damages”). The parties intend that the Liquidated Damages constitute compensation, and not a penalty. The parties acknowledge and agree that Consero’s harm caused by a Client breach of this Section 5 would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate as of the Effective Date, and that the Liquidated Damages are a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual harm that might arise from such a breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client will not be prohibited from making general solicitations of employment not specifically directed towards Personnel. This exception includes, but is not limited to, solicitations made through public notices, advertisements in industry publications, or other hiring efforts that are made in a manner that does not specifically target Consero Personnel.

6. Change Orders.

(a) If either party wishes to change the scope or performance of the Services, it will submit details of the requested change to the other party in writing. Consero will, within a reasonable time after such request, provide a written estimate to Client of: (i) the likely time required to implement the change; (ii) any necessary variations to the fees and other charges for the Services arising from the change; (iii) the likely effect of the change on the Services; and (iv) any other impact the change might have on the performance of this Agreement.

(b) Promptly after receipt of the written estimate, the parties will negotiate in good faith and agree in writing on the terms of such change (a “Change Order”). Neither party will be bound by any Change Order unless mutually agreed upon in writing in accordance with 28.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 6(a) and Section 6(b), Consero may, from time to time change the Services without the consent of Client provided that such changes do not materially affect the nature or scope of the Services, or the fees or any performance dates set forth in the Order Form.

(d) Consero may charge for the time it spends assessing and documenting a change request from Client on a time and materials basis at its then-current rates.

7. Fees and Expenses; Payment Terms; Fee Adjustments.

(a) In consideration of the provision of the Services by Consero and the rights granted to Client under this Agreement, Client will pay the fees as set forth in an Order Form via Pre-Authorized Debit (“PAD”). Consero will provide Client with an invoice identifying the amount of each PAD at least ten (10) days prior to debit.

(b) Client agrees to reimburse Consero for all reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Consero in connection with the performance of the Services and approved by Client in advance.

(c) In the event payments are not received by Consero when becoming due, Consero may: (i) charge interest on any such unpaid amounts at a rate of 1% per month or, if lower, the maximum amount permitted under applicable law, from the date such payment was due until the date paid; and (ii) suspend performance for all Services until payment has been made in full.

(d) Fee Adjustments: All fees set forth in an Order Form are subject to good-faith, reasonable adjustment by Consero in the following limited circumstances:

(i) if the Services require ascertaining Client’s starting balance, and such starting balance cannot be so ascertained based on Client’s current financials (as determined in Consero’s reasonable discretion), Consero will provide Client with a list of tasks required to establish a starting balance and an estimate of additional time and fees. If Client and Consero are unable to mutually agree on terms for such additional services, Client must establish a starting balance in advance of the Monthly Recurring Services Start Date. If Client is unable to do so, Consero will provide all Services on a strictly AS-IS basis, and Client will be billed on a time-and-materials basis (at Consero’s then-current rates) for any and all additional work caused by the absence of a starting balance, as determined in Consero’s reasonable discretion. For clarity, if a starting balance is not established prior to the Monthly Recurring Services Start Date, Consero cannot warrant the accuracy or quality of the Services, and Client expressly waives any claims against Consero relating to such Services;

(ii) if the Services include “Core F&A Services,” as denoted on an Order Form, Consero will initially rely on Client’s calculation of FTEs, which will be fixed for the first ninety (90) days following the Monthly Recurring Services Start Date. Thereafter, Consero will update Client FTE counts, and adjust the applicable fees, based on Client’s most recent payroll as of the 20th of the month. For purposes of this Agreement, an “FTE” refers to the standard measurement used to calculate total workforce capacity, with one FTE representing the total number of hours worked by a full-time employee or contractor, typically 40 hours per week; or [d]

(iii) if the Services include a “Custom Retainer,” as denoted on an Order Form, such retainer amount is subject to adjustment ninety (90) days following the Effective Date if Consero reasonably determines that such adjustment is required due to material changes in scope and/or volume relative to initial assumptions.

(e) Disputed Fees: Client may dispute Consero’s fees by providing Notice within ten (10) days following the date of the applicable invoice (the “Disputed Fees”). If Client fails to timely deliver such Notice, all invoiced amounts will be deemed conclusively accepted by Client. Both parties agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve any Disputed Fees within fifteen (15) days of Client’s receipt of Notice by Consero.

8. Taxes. Client will be responsible for all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental entity on any amounts payable by Client hereunder. This Section 8 does not apply to Consero’s income or franchise taxes, or any taxes for which Client is exempt, provided Client has furnished Consero with a valid tax exemption certificate.

9. Intellectual Property. Consero is a financial services and technology provider. Consero does not create or transfer any intellectual property to its clients. Consero’s deliverables are provided for informational and consulting purposes only; Consero does not convey title to such deliverables. However, any insights, analyses, or recommendations contained in Consero’ deliverables remain subject to Consero’s confidentiality obligations to Client, and any intellectual property owned, created, or developed by Client, including but not limited to data, proprietary processes, or confidential information, will remain the exclusive property of Client. Similarly, all intellectual property owned, created, or developed by Consero, including but not limited to methodologies, tools, templates, and proprietary information, will remain the exclusive property of Consero. Nothing in this Agreement will imply any transfer of ownership or grant of license for either party’s intellectual property to the other, except as expressly permitted in writing.

10. Confidential Information.

ll non-public, confidential or proprietary information of a party (“Discloser”) disclosed to the other party (“Recipient”), including, but not limited to, trade secrets, technology, information pertaining to business operations and strategies, and information pertaining to customers, pricing, and marketing (collectively, “Confidential Information”), whether disclosed orally or disclosed or accessed in written, electronic or other form or media, and whether or not marked, designated or otherwise identified as “confidential,” in connection with the provision of the Services and this Agreement is confidential, and will not be disclosed or copied by the Recipient without the prior written consent of the Discloser. Confidential Information does not include information that is: (i) in the public domain; (ii) known to Recipient at the time of disclosure; or (iii) rightfully obtained by the Recipient on a non-confidential basis from a third party.

11. Representations and Warranties.

(a) Consero represents and warrants to Client that it will perform the Services using personnel of required skill, experience, and qualifications and in a professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with generally recognized industry standards for similar services and will devote adequate resources to meet its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Consero will not be liable for a breach of the warranty set forth in Section 11(a) unless Client gives written notice of the defective Services, reasonably described, to Consero within ten (10) days of the time when Client discovers or ought to have discovered that the Services were defective.

(c) Subject to Section 11(b), Consero will, in its sole discretion, either: (i) repair or re-perform such Services (or the defective part); or (ii) credit or refund the price of such Services at the pro rata contract rate.

(e) Each party represents and warrants to the other party that: (a) it is a legal entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization; (b) it has the full right, power, and authority to enter into this Agreement, to grant the rights and licenses granted hereunder and to perform its obligations hereunder; and (c) it has obtained, and will maintain throughout the term of this Agreement, all necessary licenses and consents, and will comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

12. Mutual Indemnification. Each party (as “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the other party and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and permitted assigns (collectively, “Indemnified Party”) against any and all losses, damages, diminutions in value, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including professional fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees, that are incurred by Indemnified Party (collectively, “Losses”), arising out of any third-party claim alleging: (a) breach or non-fulfillment of any representation, warranty, or covenant under this Agreement by Indemnifying Party; (b) any grossly negligent or more culpable act or omission of Indemnifying Party in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement; (c) any bodily injury, death of any person, or damage to real or tangible personal property caused by the negligent or more culpable acts or omissions of Indemnifying Party; or (d) any failure by Indemnifying Party to materially comply with any applicable federal, state, or local laws, regulations, or codes in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

13. Disclaimers.

EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTY SET FORTH IN SECTION 11(a) ABOVE, CONSERO MAKES NO WARRANTY WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY (A) WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY; OR (B) WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE; OR (C) WARRANTY OF TITLE; OR (D) WARRANTY AGAINST INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF A THIRD PARTY; WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY LAW, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE OF TRADE, OR OTHERWISE.

CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT CONSERO IS NOT A “CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM,” “CPA FIRM,” “PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTING FIRM,” OR “AUDITING FIRM” AND IS NOT LICENSED BY THE TEXAS STATE BOARD OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTANCY OR ANY OTHER ANALOGOUS LICENSING ENTITY.

14. Mutual Limitation of Liability.

(b) EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE GREATER OF (I) THE AGGREGATE AMOUNTS PAID OR PAYABLE TO CONSERO PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT IN THE ONE (1) YEAR PERIOD PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (II) $50,000.00.

(c) The limitation of liability set forth in Section 14(b) above will not apply to liability resulting from a party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(d) Super-Cap for Data Breach Events: Notwithstanding the limitation of liability set forth in Section 14(b) above, Consero’s total liability to Client for any and all claims, losses, costs, damages, or liabilities arising out of or in connection with any data breach, unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure of Client’s data or related security events, as determined in Consero’s reasonable discretion (collectively, “Data Breach Events”), under any theory of liability (whether in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise), will be limited to the total amount actually paid out under Consero’s Cyber Liability Insurance policy (as defined in Section 16) for such Data Breach Events. In the event of a Data Breach Event, Consero will promptly file a claim under its Cyber Liability Insurance policy (as defined in Section 16) and use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue such claim.

15. Term; Termination.

(a) This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect for an initial term of one (1) year. Upon the expiration of the initial term, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive one (1) year terms unless either party provides written notice of its intention not to renew at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current term.

(b) This Agreement may be terminated: (i) by Consero if Client fails to pay any amount when due under this Agreement and such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after Consero delivers written notice of nonpayment to Client; (ii) by either party without cause on sixty (60) days written notice after ninety (90) days following the Effective Date; (iii) by either party if the other party has failed to perform any material obligation required to be performed under this Agreement and such failure is not corrected within thirty (30) days from receipt of written notice from the other party advising of such failure; (iv) by either party if the other party becomes insolvent, files a petition for bankruptcy or commences or has commenced against it proceedings relating to bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization, or assignment for the benefit of creditors.

In consideration for these transition services, Client will pay Consero a flat fee between $3,000-$5,000 payable within ten (10) days following notice of termination. The transition services will include knowledge transfer, support with ongoing projects, system access transition, and will be provided for a period of 30 days. This fee will cover all costs associated with the transition services, and no additional fees will be incurred unless otherwise agreed in writing by both parties.

18. Force Majeure. No party will be liable or responsible to the other party, or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement (except for any obligations of Client to make payments to Consero hereunder), when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts beyond the impacted party’s (“Impacted Party”) reasonable control, including, without limitation, the following force majeure events (“Force Majeure Event(s)”): (a) acts of God; (b) flood, fire, earthquake, pandemic, or explosion; (c) war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest; (d) government order, law, or action; (e) embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement; (f) national or regional emergency; (g) telecommunication breakdowns, power outages or shortages, and (h) other similar events beyond the reasonable control of the Impacted Party.

The Impacted Party will use diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and ensure the effects of such Force Majeure Event are minimized. The Impacted Party will resume the performance of its obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of the cause. If the Impacted Party’s failure or delay remains uncured for a period of twenty (20) consecutive days following written notice given by it under this Section 17, either party may thereafter terminate this Agreement upon ten (10) days’ written notice.

19. Assignment. Client will not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Consero. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section is null and void. No assignment or delegation relieves Client of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

20. Relationship of the Parties. The relationship between the parties is that of independent contractors. Nothing contained in this Agreement will be construed as creating any agency, partnership, joint venture or other form of joint enterprise, employment, or fiduciary relationship between the parties, and neither party will have authority to contract for or bind the other party in any manner whatsoever.

21. Publicity. Client acknowledges and agrees that Consero may include Client’s tradename and logo on publicly displayed customer lists (including Consero’s website), unless expressly prohibited from doing so by Client in writing.

22. No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

23. Governing Law. All matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement are governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.

24. Submission to Jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be instituted in the state or federal courts of the United States having jurisdiction in the state and county in which the defending party is domiciled, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action, or proceeding. If the defending party is not domiciled in the United States, the parties submit to the jurisdiction of the state or federal courts of the United States having jurisdiction in the State of Texas, Travis County.

25. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications hereunder (each, a “Notice”) will be in writing and addressed to the parties at the email addresses set forth in the Order Form or to such other address that may be designated by the receiving party in writing. Any Notice to Consero must be sent to the Legal Notice email address set forth on the Order Form.

26. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

27. Survival. Provisions of this Agreement, which by their nature should apply beyond their terms, will remain in force after any termination or expiration of this Agreement including, but not limited to, the following provisions: Confidentiality, Governing Law, Insurance, Submission to Jurisdiction, Mutual Indemnification, Mutual Limitation of Liability, Term and Termination, and Survival.

28. Amendment and Modification.
