2. Your Responsibilities and Singlewire’s Assumptions.
In addition to any other responsibilities described herein and/or in an applicable bid/quote/SOW, Your obligations include, without limitation, the following, and any failure on Your part shall be deemed to be a material breach:
- Communicate all material project matters to Singlewire’s contact person;
- Together with Singlewire, schedule the performance of the Services;
- Provide qualified, knowledgeable personnel who will perform Your obligations hereunder and under the applicable bid/quote/SOW, make timely decisions necessary to perform the Services, participate in the project to the extent reasonably requested by Singlewire and reasonably assist Singlewire with its performance of the Services;
- Provide Singlewire’s personnel with controlled and supervised appropriate levels of access and privilege to systems and information necessary for Singlewire’s performance of the Services;
- Provide timely responses to Singlewire’s inquiries and requests for approvals and authorizations;
- Immediately terminate Singlewire’s access rights and immediately remove access during all periods of time for which Singlewire is not actively performing Services;
- Provide access to any information or materials reasonably requested by Singlewire which are necessary or useful as determined by Singlewire in connection with providing the Services, including, but not limited to, physical and computer access to Your computer systems; and
- Perform other reasonable duties and tasks to facilitate Singlewire’s performance of the Services. In addition to any other assumptions described herein and/or in the applicable bid/quote/SOW, Singlewire assumes the following:
- When Services are performed at Your location (or another location designated by You), they shall be performed during mutually agreed upon times.
- When Services are performed at Your location (or another location designated by You), You shall provide adequate workspace for the engagement personnel (both Singlewire’s personnel and Your personnel) with appropriate system access.
- In addition, Your personnel shall be available on a timely basis, and when reasonably requested by Singlewire, Your personnel shall provide input, review the Services being performed and the items being delivered by Singlewire, answer questions, and allow Singlewire to gather and validate information, perform reviews and obtain other input. You acknowledge and agree that the Services are dependent upon the completeness and accuracy of information provided by You and the knowledge and cooperation of the personnel engaged or appointed by You who are selected by You to work with Singlewire.
- The scope and objectives of the project shall be managed by You to ensure completion of the project within the anticipated schedule.
- You shall work with Singlewire so that together we can define roles and responsibilities, develop project and test plans, identify risks, maintain change management procedures and ensure management of open issues.
- You have acquired all necessary hardware and software required to complete the Services.
When Services are performed at Your location (or another location designated by You), the site shall be secure. Singlewire is not responsible for lost or stolen equipment. - Written SOWs shall be signed by both parties. No changes to a SOW shall be made without a valid change order signed by both Your authorized representative and Singlewire’s authorized representative.
- If You do not already have a software maintenance contract for Singlewire’s software, Singlewire encourages You to obtain one by contacting a Singlewire account team. Those software maintenance services are separate from the Services provided hereunder.
If You do not fulfill all of Your responsibilities in a timely manner or if any assumption is incomplete, is incorrect or becomes incorrect, then:
- The anticipated schedule for the project may be delayed.
- Scheduled personnel may be reassigned to a different project or may become idle.
- If Singlewire’s personnel had been schedule to perform Services for You but such personnel do not perform on any scheduled day because of Your failure to fulfill one of Your responsibilities or because of an incomplete or incorrect assumption, Singlewire shall have the right to invoice You for that day (calculated using the same rates applicable to the Services, and if no rate had been otherwise agreed upon, then using Singlewire’s then-current standard rate).
- The amount of time it takes to perform the Services may increase and/or Singlewire may need to perform additional or different Services in order to be able to perform the original Services, in which case, Singlewire shall invoice You for any such additional or different time or performance (calculated using the same rates applicable to the Services, using an eight-hour day, and if no rate had yet been agreed upon, then using Singlewire’s then-current standard rate).
- It may be commercially unreasonable for Singlewire to perform the Services, either in whole or in part, in which case Singlewire shall have the right to terminate any obligation it might have to You (to perform the Services or otherwise) or to terminate a SOW upon notice to You.
3. Project Scheduling.
Any dates, deadlines or schedules in any bid/quote/SOW (as amended by any change order) or otherwise anticipated for the project are estimates only, to be used for Singlewire’s planning only. Together Singlewire’s contact person and Your contact person will develop an anticipated schedule.

5. Professional Services Fees: Fixed or Firm Fee.
Any projections regarding the time the Services will take to perform and/or the total fees You will incur for the Services discussed or set forth in the applicable bid/quote/SOW or otherwise are estimates only. You acknowledge that no employee of Singlewire is authorized to make a fixed or firm bid/quote/SOW on behalf of Singlewire that is not in an electronic or written document signed by an officer of Singlewire that expressly states that the bid/quote/SOW is “firm” or “fixed.”

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable bid/quote/SOW:

Each bids/quote/SOW expires after thirty (30) days unless another time period has been specified therein and shall be of no force or effect if You do not sign and deliver it to Singlewire so that it is received within thirty (30) days from its date. If Your signature arrives after expiration of that thirty (30)-day period, Singlewire may nonetheless elect to countersign and/or perform under that quote/bid/SOW, but the decision to do so shall be in Singlewire’s sole discretion.
Either You or Singlewire may terminate the applicable bid/quote/SOW for cause if the other party fails to cure a material default in the time period specified below. Any material default must be specifically identified in a written notice of termination. After written notice, the notified party will have thirty (30) days to remedy its performance, except that it will only have ten (10) days to remedy any monetary default. Failure to remedy any material default within the applicable time period provided for herein will give cause for immediate termination.
Unless otherwise provided in the applicable bid/quote/SOW (as it may be amended by a change order), each bid/quote/SOW can be terminated by Singlewire without cause upon at least fourteen (14) days’ advanced written notice.
In the event of any expiration or termination of the applicable bid/quote/SOW, You will pay Singlewire for all Services performed and expenses incurred up to and including the date of termination.
Upon the expiration or termination of the applicable bid/quote/SOW, all rights and obligations of You and Singlewire under such bid/quote/SOW including, without limitation, under these terms and conditions and/or the Terms and Conditions (as defined below), shall automatically terminate except for any right of action occurring prior to expiration or termination, payment obligations and obligations that expressly or by implication are intended to survive expiration or termination (including, without limitation, limitation of liability, indemnity, confidentiality, title and this survival provision).
9. Change Orders.
A bid/quote/SOW may be modified or amended only in a written document signed by both You and Singlewire (referred to herein as a change order).
