This Maintenance Services Subscription Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of the date you agree to these terms through ouronline ordering process(“Effective Date”), between Mendly LLC a Colorado limited liability company (“Mendly”), and the individualor entity purchasing the services identified in the Mendly online ordering process (“Client”). By completing the online ordering process and submitting your order, you affirmatively agree to this Agreement.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Client hereby engages Mendly, and Mendly hereby agrees, to provide the home maintenance services described in Mendly’s online ordering process and any additional Work Orders (collectively, the “Services”).
All services to be performed pursuant to this Agreement shall be set forth in either the online ordering process or a written, mutually agreed to, work order or quote signed by authorized representatives of both parties (each a “Work Order”), each of which is expressly made subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Work Orders should contain descriptions of the Services to be provided by Mendly, Mendly’s compensation, additional terms and conditions, if any, applicable to a particular engagement and such other details as the parties deem appropriate. A Work Order may provide atime schedule for completion of the Services required there under (the "Schedule"). Client and Mendly expressly acknowledge and agree that any Schedules shall not be considered firm or fixed performance dates, are only to be regarded as estimated beginning and completion dates for the tasks and activities to be performed hereunder and are expected to be revised duringthe term of any engagement. Mendly agrees to use diligent efforts to meet such dates.
Each party may request changes that affect the scope or duration of the Services relating to any WorkOrder. Mendly shall continue to perform pursuant to the existing Work Order, and neither party shall be bound by any changere quested by the other party, until such change has been memorialized in writing and signed (or otherwise agreed to in writing, including e-mail) by authorized representatives of each party (“Change Order”). Each Change Order will be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Client will permit Mendly to have reasonable access to Client’s home and premises and other information for the purposes of performing the Services. Client shall provide Mendly with information, cooperation, and assistance as Mendly may reasonably request in connection with the performance of the Services. Mendly shall have no liability for deficiencies in the Services, or failure to meet any Schedule, resulting from the acts or omissions of Client, its agents or employees or performance of the Services in accordance with Client’s instructions.
Client acknowledges and agrees that Mendly may, in performing its obligations pursuant to this Agreement, be dependent upon or use data, material, specifications, content and other information furnished by Client (“ClientMaterials”) without any independent investigation or verification thereof, and that Mendly shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy and completeness of such information in performing the Services. Mendly, in performing the Services, will be making recommendations and providing advice to the Client, but all decisions as to implementing such advice and recommendations shall be made by and shall be the sole responsibility of the Client and Mendly shall be entitled to rely on all such decisions of Client.
If Client sells the residence that is subject to the Services, Mendly shall offer to provide the remaining Services to the new owner for the remainder of the then-current term.
In consideration for performing the Services, Client will pay Mendly all fees identified in the online ordering process and under the Work Orders (the “Fees”). If a third-party (e.g., real estate agent) purchases the Services for Client, then payment will be the responsibility of that third-party. Fees are non-refundable.
Client will reimburse Mendly for the reasonable travel, lodging and related out-of-pocket expenses that Mendly may incur in performing the Services identified in a Work Order or otherwise approved by Client (“Reimbursable Expenses”). Mendly will use its best efforts to estimate expenses associated with expenditures requested by Client. Requests and estimates will be confirmed in writing by Mendly to Client. Mendly will furnish Client with appropriate receipts for Reimbursable Expenses.
Client will pay the Fees and Reimbursable Expenses to Mendly according to the terms set forth in the online ordering process and any applicable Work Orders, provided that if the Work Order is silent about payment terms, Client will pay all Fees and Reimbursable Expenses upon receipt of Mendly’s invoice. Client will pay some Fees in advance. All payments will be madein U.S. dollars by check or wire transfer to Mendly’s designated bank account. Any payment that is over thirty (30) days late will accrue interest at the rate of 12% per annum, compounded monthly, until paid in full. Not withstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Mendly may, at its sole election, suspend its provision of Services without liability to Client until such time as Client has made all payments then due.
Fees are exclusive of applicable taxes. Client shall be responsible for payment of all applicable sales, use, excise and other taxes and assessments relating to this Agreement, excluding any taxes based on the net income of Mendly. Client will pay such taxes or provide Mendly with any applicable certificate of exemption acceptable to the appropriate taxing authorities.
The term of this Agreement will begin on the Effective Date and will continue for one year (the “Initial Term”), after which it shall automatically continue to renew for successive one-year periods (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless either party provides written notice to the other party of its intent to non-renew not less than 30 days prior to the end of the then current Renewal Term. The Initial Term and Renewal Term are collectively referred to as the “Term”. The Term may be sooner terminated as set forth herein. In addition, each individual Work Order will have its own term, and any termination or expirationof any such Work Order will not affect the term of any other Work Order, or this Agreement.
Either party may terminate this Agreement or an Work Order immediately upon written noticeto the other party, without judicial or arbitral action and without prejudice to any other remedies it may have, if (i) the other party materially breaches any of its obligations under the Agreement or an Work Order (as the case may be) and fails to remedy such material breach to the notifying party’s satisfaction within fifteen (15) days after it demands such cure, or (ii) the other party assigns all or a substantial part of its business or assets for the benefit of creditors, permits the appointment of a receiver for its business or assets, becomes subject to any legal proceeding relating to insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or the protection of creditors’ rights or otherwise ceases to conduct business in the normal course.
Client will have a one-time opportunity to terminate the Agreement for convenience if Clientis not satisfied with Mendly’s initial baseline inspection. To exercise this termination right, Client must notify Mendly in writing that it is terminating the Agreement within 24 hours of Client’s receipt of Mendly’s initial baseline inspection report.
Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, Client will promptly pay Mendly the Fees and Reimbursable Expenses that may be due and outstanding for the Services that Mendly has performed as of the effective date of termination. In addition, if Client terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 4(c), then Client shall also pay all reasonable expenses incurred by Mendly in winding-up its work under this Agreement and any other expenses that were incurred by Mendly in the expectation of complete performance of this Agreement. Promptly after receipt of such payments, Mendly will deliver to Client all collateral materials, lists, documentation and other items that contain, in whole or in part, the Confidential Information that Client disclosed to Mendly.
Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, any outstanding Work Order shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, subject to the terms of this Agreement. The provisions of Sections 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10 will survive the expiration of this Agreement or its termination for any reason.
