SERVICES AGREEMENT

These Terms of Service (“Agreement”) are limited to those contained herein. These terms apply to your (“You” or “Your” or “Client”) purchase of certain services as defined below provided and sold by Lux Research, Inc. or its wholly owned subsidiary MotivIndex, Inc., collectively referred to as “Lux”, as described in your Schedule A – Schedule of Services (“Schedule of Services” or “SOS”) or Statement of Work (“SOW”). By requesting services and deliverables, as described in your SOS and/or SOW, you agree to be bound by and accept this Agreement unless you and Lux have a signed separate agreement that expressly overrides this agreement, in which case that separate agreement will control.

You may issue a purchase order or other form for administrative or your internal purposes only. Additional or different terms and conditions contained in any such purchase order, or any form delivered by you (1) will be null and void and (2) are hereby deemed to be material alterations and notice of objection and rejection of them is hereby given. Lux’s provision of services does not constitute acceptance of any of your terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend this Agreement. You agree that this Agreement and any SOS and/or SOW issued in connection herewith will control. No course of prior dealings between the parties and no usage of trade will be relevant to determine the meaning of the terms of this Agreement or any SOS and/or SOW issued by Lux.

1. Definitions. As used herein, the following words shall have the following meanings:

Analyst Inquiry responses are based on existing research and knowledge, and effort extended by Lux will be no more than two (2) hours. Only Advisory and Executive Partner Members are able to schedule an Inquiry. No other Client associates are entitled to join or listen to these conversations unless they are a Member with a Member ID associated to the Subscription Services subscribed by the Advisory and Executive Partner Member requesting the Inquiry.

Each Member must be an employee, officer or director of Client or its Affiliate. Members may use and print copies of Subscription Services solely for Client’s legitimate business purposes, provided that each Member must attribute the information contained in the Subscription Services to Lux. In no event shall Client or any Member further disclose, disseminate, distribute, reproduce or retransmit its Member ID or any Subscription Services to any person, firm, or entity without Lux’s prior written permission, which Lux may withhold in its sole discretion.

To facilitate on-time delivery of Professional Services, Lux will require that Client designate a program owner and point of contact (“POC”) responsible for timely communication with Lux. The POC will be designated in the SOW. Client acknowledges any delay in the POC responding to Lux may result in changes in Lux staff assigned to complete the project. Any change in scope or timeline for Professional Services will be mutually agreed upon in writing by both Lux and Client. If Client requests that the Professional Services be suspended, Client will be required to pay for Professional Services provided up to the date of suspension, including any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

5. Fees and Payment.

(a) Professional Service Fee. Each SOW shall specify the fixed fee for the Professional Services (the “Professional Service Fee”). Client shall pay the Professional Service Fee in the amount and in accordance with the schedule set forth in the SOW. Any changes requested by Client in the Professional Services to which Lux agrees may result in an increase to the Professional Service Fee. Lux will determine the appropriate consultants that will provide the Professional Services to Client from time to time.

(b) Subscription Fee. Each SOS shall specify the fixed price subscription basis (the “Subscription Fee”) for the Subscription Services. Client shall pay the Subscription Fee set forth in the SOS. Any changes requested by Client in the Subscription Services to which Lux agrees may result in an increase to the Subscription Fee. The Client may not reduce the number of members purchased during the Term or otherwise cancel the Subscription Services during the Term.

(c) Client agrees and acknowledges that Lux may suspend provision of the Services if Client’s account is thirty (30) days or more delinquent. Delinquent invoices are subject to interest of 1.0% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection. Lux reserves the right to impose a reconnection fee equal to 2.5% of Client’s annual subscription fee if the Subscription Services are suspended, and Client thereafter requests access to the Subscription Services.

(d) Client is responsible for payment of any sales, use, value added or other taxes assessed on the Services and Deliverables under any SOS or SOW, if any. If Client is a tax-exempt entity, a tax exemption certificate is due upon execution of the SOS or SOW, as applicable.

6. Expenses. 

In connection with the Professional Services, Client will reimburse Lux for expenses specified in an SOW, or otherwise pre-approved in writing by Client. Expenses which are (a) not anticipated in the SOW, (b) deemed necessary by Lux, and (c) incurred by Lux in the performance of the Professional Services, shall be submitted in writing to and approved by Client prior to Lux incurring said expenses from any third party or by Lux itself.

7. Payment Disputes. 

If Client in good faith disputes any invoice or portion thereof, Client shall notify Lux of such dispute within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the invoice, and any undisputed portion of the invoice shall be paid as provided herein. The parties will work together in good faith to resolve any dispute with respect to an invoice. If any undisputed amount is not paid when due hereunder, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies Lux may have, Lux will be entitled to (a) suspend the provision of Services until it has received payment in full for all outstanding amounts and (b) recover from Client the costs and expenses incurred in connection with collecting the same (including without limitation costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all rights granted to Client under this Agreement are conditioned on Client’s payment in full of all amounts due under the SOS or SOW, as applicable.

8. Term and Termination.

(a) This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and, subject to the termination provisions contained in this Section 8, will continue in effect for a period of one (1) year (the “Term”) provided that each Term will automatically renew with the same number of members, as applicable, for additional successive Terms of one (1) year unless cancelled within thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any SOS or SOW entered into during the term of this Agreement continues beyond the expiration of this Agreement, the Term shall continue in full force until 30 days after the termination or expiration of each such SOS or SOW.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 8(a), this Agreement or any SOS or SOW may be terminated as follows:

If performance on the part of any party is delayed or suspended as a result of circumstances beyond its reasonable control, without its fault or negligence, then the period of performance and term of this Agreement shall be extended to the extent of any such delay.
