Cartographer Consulting agrees to operate under DBA (Doing Business As), providing white-labeled services under the guise of the Client’s name and brand.
In the event that the Client wishes to provide Cartographer Consulting a “Doing Business As” email account, Cartographer Consulting agrees to include this account in all communications related to the scope of services outlined within this Agreement. In addition, the Client also agrees that Cartographer Consulting may utilize a shared email login for all tools and resources related to this contract (including but not limited to Asana, Slack, HubSpot, etc.), which will be accessible only to Cartographer Consulting and, if necessary, any other business partners of Cartographer Consulting, but only with explicit permission.
For all Electronic Communications, both parties agree to a 48-hour (excluding weekends and other extenuating circumstances where this timeline may be longer) turnaround time for responses.
When applicable, the Client agrees to provide Cartographer Consulting access to a catered repository. This DAM will house all discussion items, reference information, and any other shared information between the two parties. Cartographer Consulting will maintain no authority, control, or responsibility over user provisioning or access.
When applicable, Cartographer Consulting agrees to have all entities involved with this contract undergo a background check, as requested by the Client. This process, logistics, and costs of this background check will be managed by the Client.
Specific details about pricing are outlined within each Client's contract and scope of work.
Initial payment is due within 5 business days of receiving the initial notice. Subsequent payments will be invoiced on the first Monday of the month and are due by the first Wednesday of the month.
Rush requests are not permitted at any time unless Cartographer Consulting has given written, explicit permission.
This contract renews automatically on the last day of the month at the end of each quarter, unless canceled, for a time period not extending beyond 1 year. A new Agreement must be initiated to continue services each additional year.
Cancellation of this contract must be made within 30 days of the next renewal date. In the event that the Client terminates this Agreement early, a 20% surcharge of the total retainer cost will be incurred in lieu of additional payments.
Cartographer Consulting counts on receiving payments on time. Delinquent payments will be assessed a 5% charge if the payment is not received within five (5) business days of the agreed-upon billing date. Additionally, all active work will be paused until payment is received, as per Cartographer Consulting's Terms and Conditions.
If the amount remains delinquent after thirty (30) days of the agreed-upon billing date, an additional 10% fee will be added for each 30 days of late payment.
If case collection proves necessary, the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of its attorney’s fees and costs, along with all other relief to which it is found to be entitled.
Cartographer Consulting reserves the right to modify the contract timeline, estimates, costs, payment schedules, and the working relationship based on fluctuations uncovered during the contract. In these circumstances, this contract will be updated to reflect appropriate changes for both Cartographer Consulting and the Client.
Costs, fees, timelines, and estimates include all meetings, discussions, effort, and time spent on efforts as outlined within the Agreement. If efforts or time exceeds the allocated amount within the Agreement, work will be billed at Cartographer Consulting’s advertised hourly rate of $100 per hour.
Both the Client and Cartographer Consulting agree to make every reasonable effort to be present for all scheduled discussions. However, Cartographer Consulting understands that there are a variety of uncontrollable circumstances that may impact these circumstances. To ensure healthy flexibility, both parties agree to a maximum of two reschedule requests per meeting. In the event of a no-show by the Client, Cartographer Consulting's hourly rate will be added as a surcharge, reflective of the amount of time missed. This may be waived under the discretion of Cartographer Consulting or, in select cases, mutual agreement.
The topics, ideas, and concepts discussed within our communications shall be treated as proprietary and there shall be no appropriation, resale, credit taken, or other action that may be construed as theft by either party.
This clause applies to any Clients, subcontractors, or other entities involved within any scope of this contract for either party.
No warranties, express or implied, are provided, except those specifically outlined in this agreement. In no event shall Cartographer Consulting, or any of its owners or affiliates, be liable to the Client, or any other party, for any damages, including lost profits, lost savings, or other problems that may arise during or after the completion of this Agreement, regardless of cause.
Upon completion, the Client will retain ownership of all products, content, Intellectual Property, and completed works created by and/or strategized with the help of Cartographer Consulting. However, Cartographer Consulting may retain credit for any work completed on behalf of the Client. At no point should the Client, Cartographer Consulting, or any of its subsidiaries, contractors, or partners, use the completed works of IP in any way without the expressed written consent of either party.
Cartographer Consulting will maintain the highest standards of confidentiality and will never disclose, share, or distribute in any manner any of the proprietary information shared by the Client. This confidentiality is similarly expected of the Client for any similar information.
This clause applies to any clients, subcontractors, or other entities involved within any scope of this contract for either party.
Cartographer Consulting shall be an individual entity, not an employee of the Client or any other company affiliated with the Client. This Agreement does not create a partnership or joint venture and neither party is authorized to act as agent or bind the other party except as expressly stated in this Agreement.
Both parties expressly acknowledge that this Agreement does not create an exclusive relationship between the parties. Cartographer Consulting is free to engage others to perform services of the same or similar nature to those provided by the Client, and Cartographer Consulting shall be entitled to offer and provide services to others, solicit other clients, and otherwise advertise the services offered by the Client.
