NON-WAIVER:

Failure by one party of this Agreement to require performance of any provision(s) shall not affect that party’s right to require subsequent performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of this Agreement constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself.

MUTUAL NON-DISPARAGEMENT:

Each party to this Agreement, agrees that neither it nor any of its respective agents, officers, key employees or directors, will in any way publicly disparage, call into disrepute, defame, slander or otherwise criticize the other Parties or any of their products or services, in any manner that would damage the business or reputation or otherwise degrade the other party’s reputation of such other parties, their products or services in the business or the community or in the [relevant] industry.

NON-RESPONSE:

It is mutually agreed that from time to time AGENCY will need access to CLIENT personnel and resources to provide project direction and feedback. Should AGENCY deem the CLIENT as non-responsive, AGENCY will promptly inform the CLIENT in writing of such required feedback. Should CLIENT not respond within 5 days, AGENCY shall promptly inform CLIENT that the AGENCY project resources will be put on hold until such time that CLIENT provides necessary access to personnel or resources and CLIENT promptly informs AGENCY in writing to re-engage AGENCY resources in the project. At that time, AGENCY may have up to 7 days to re-engage such resources. If 30 days has passed and CLIENT has not responded to any outreach by AGENCY, AGENCY will mark file as completed and services will be marked as fully rendered. No refunds or returns or cancellations will be warranted or issued, as CLIENT has become unresponsive to all communication efforts.

REFUND POLICY:

Your 100% satisfaction matters!

When you hire us, you recognize that our service fees are retainer, hourly or project-based for a period of time or for the completion of a project.

This means that when you pay us to perform, we do the work.

Results will vary month to month as with any type of services and will go through phases.

Note: There are no magic pills that will produce immediate results overnight.

We do not offer refunds once our services have been provided. It’s like telling one of your employees you’re not going to pay them on payday after they’ve worked for two weeks.

If you are dissatisfied with any part of our work and you let us know, we will do our very best to resolve the issue to your satisfaction. That is our promise to you.

If we are unsuccessful in resolving an issue to your satisfaction, our monthly retainer services (unless noted differently on your individual contract) can be canceled by submitting a written, 30-day cancellation notice to our company.

If a particular service that we provide can not be completed due to our capabilities, then we can offer an additional service based on your needs and mutual agreement.

Please note, that there is a 3% processing fee for any refunds via PayPal, Stripe, or credit card payments.

DISCLAIMER:

CLIENT has been informed, recognizes and understands that Optima Solutions has made NO Guarantee promising the success or outcome of the projects instated here inside this retainer.

PARTNERSHIP OR AGENCY:

The relationship between parties is not to be construed as a partnership or agency and this Contract does not create either form of relationship.

CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES:

Neither party to this Agreement will be held responsible for consequential (indirect) damages (e.g., loss of profit) because of any alleged failures by the other party.

SIGNATURE AUTHORITY:

Both parties warrant that they have read and understand the terms set forth in this agreement. Each party hereby represents and warrants that s/he is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement on behalf of the Other Party and that this Agreement is binding upon the Other Party in accordance with its terms.

NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES:

  1. Non-Solicitation of Employees. While any Statement of Work is in effect and for 12 months thereafter, neither party directly or indirectly shall solicit, offer employment to, or hire, or contract for services with, any employee of the other party involved in the performance of this Agreement, unless such other party consents.

MISCELLANEOUS:

This Agreement, including any Exhibits or other documents specifically incorporated by reference, sets forth the entire agreement between AGENCY and CLIENT with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous representations, understandings or agreements and shall prevail notwithstanding any variance with terms and conditions of any other prior writing between the parties. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remaining provisions shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect. The parties may not transfer or assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party to this Agreement. The waiver by either party hereto of any breach of the terms and conditions hereof will not be considered a modification of any provision, nor shall such a waiver act to bar the enforcement of the subsequent breach. AGENCY may use CLIENT’s name, logo, image, and likeness in case studies, press releases and other internal and external facing marketing materials.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT:

This AGREEMENT constitutes the entire AGREEMENT between the parties with respect to the Project subject matter. It supersedes all previous AGREEMENTs and understandings between the parties and each party acknowledges that, in entering into this AGREEMENT, it does not do so on the basis of or in reliance upon any representations, promises, undertakings, warranties or other statements (whether written or oral) of any nature whatsoever except as expressly provided in this AGREEMENT. Thus, this Contract and attached Exhibits constitute the sole AGREEMENT between the Developer and the CLIENT. The Contract becomes effective when signed by CLIENT. Submission of this contract by Developer implies lawful signature and acceptance of terms.
