THIS CONSULTING AGREEMENT FOR PPS AND RELATED SERVICES (this “Agreement“) is effective (the “Effective Date“) as of the earlier of: (a) the “Client’s” signature of Foothold America Inc.’s (“Foothold“) written proposal (each a “Proposal“), or (b) the date a client  (the “Client“) has been made aware of this Agreement (e.g., by receipt of a Proposal) and begins accepting any “Services” (as defined below) from Foothold.   This Agreement is between Client and Foothold, on behalf of itself and for the benefit of its affiliates.  Foothold and Client are individually referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”  This Agreement is incorporated into each Proposal made by Foothold.  In the event of any direct conflict between the Agreement on this webpage and the express written terms of any document signed by both Parties (e.g., a Proposal or Amendment); the signed written terms will control; provided that Section 9 (Relationship of the Parties) may only be amended by a written amendment signed by both Parties directly referencing such Section.  Any terms used herein, but not defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Proposal.

The Parties agrees that they are bound by this Agreement; and Client agrees that Client’s use of any of the Services constitutes Client’s approval of this Agreement.

Foothold is providing the Services to Client in exchange for the charges set forth on the applicable Proposal; or in absence of a signed Proposal at Foothold’s standard rates, in effect from time to time; and the Parties agree that the foregoing is good and sufficient consideration for this Agreement (and Client’s continue receipt of any of the Services after any change in this Agreement is good and sufficient consideration for any modifications to this Agreement).

1. Services

The services (“Services”) provided by Foothold under this Agreement include those described in the Proposal (e.g., for set-up or people partnership) and related services that Foothold provides to Client that are not covered by a separate agreement between the Parties.  Any additional services requested by Client, if agreed to by the Parties, will be documented in a written amendment to the Proposal (which must be signed by both Parties to be effective).  

2. The Client’s Obligations.

a. The Client will comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations regarding Client’s operations and Client’s treatment of its employees. In addition, Client will comply with all of Foothold’s policies and other requirements which Foothold provides in advance and in writing to Client.

b. The Client will pay all Fees and other amounts due under this Agreement upon receipt of Foothold’s invoice. The amount invoiced by Foothold may fluctuate over time due to changes in Plan Charges and other factors including any intermediary bank fees charged by your bank for which you are responsible. For each amount that is not paid within five (5) days of the invoice date, Client shall pay Foothold a late fee (the “Late Fee”) equal to the unpaid amount multiplied by the lesser of: (a) 1.5% per month; and (b) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law per month; plus, any costs of collecting the unpaid balance Foothold incurs (including attorneys’ fees). The Late Fee shall be applied from the day after the original date due of such late amount until the late amount has been paid in full.

c. If the Services or this Agreement is terminated by the Client (for any reason), Client shall immediately reimburse Foothold for all previously authorized Fees and other amounts through the date of termination and for all such amounts that apply upon or after such termination (e.g., termination fees).

d. If an invoice error occurs, it will not be a breach of the Agreement. The Client agrees to notify Foothold in writing of any invoice error within ten (10) business days of receipt of the invoice. If Client has not disputed in writing any amount on Foothold’s invoice withing thirty (30) days Client shall be deemed waived any such claim. In the Client disputes any invoiced amount in writing, the Parties will meet promptly (either in person or virtually) to disclose the issue and will use good faith efforts to resolve any such dispute. Given the nature of the Services, Client agrees that it will not withhold any disputed amount, and that if Client does so, such withholding would be a material breach of this Agreement which would give Foothold the right to immediately suspend its Services and/or terminate this Agreement.

 3. Insurance. 

Client agree to maintain the following insurance policies in the United States, in an amount sufficient to cover Client’s U.S. operations (but not less than any minimum amount stated below):

i. General liability (including professional, if applicable)

ii. Unemployment (statutory);
iii. Workers compensation (statutory); and.
iv. Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) of at least $1 million per claim; and.

b. Termination for Convenience.  Foothold may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, for convenience upon ten (10) days’ written notice to Client, if: (i) in Foothold’s sole judgement, any change (or change in interpretation thereof) in applicable law, regulation, rule or availability of availability of third party service providers (e.g., payroll providers), would make continuation of the affected Services illegal, un-economical, or commercially unreasonable for Foothold to continue to provide, or (ii) Client object’s per Section 10.f below to a change to this Agreement, and the Parties do not resolve Client’s concern with such change within ten (10) business days of Foothold receipt of Client’s written objection.

d.

Effects of Termination.  Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement: (i) the Parties will co-operate to promptly wind down Services, (ii) Foothold shall: (1) make an estimate of all remaining amounts owed by Client and (2) invoice Client for any excess amounts due.  If Client requests and/or needs additional Services post expiration or termination; such Services shall be documented in an amendment and will be provided at Foothold’s then current rates, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties.

Client agrees that it would be unreasonable for Client to rely upon any promise or representation not contained in this Agreement. Handwritten changes to this Agreement including any  Proposal are unenforceable.   Foothold may change this Agreement at any time by posting a subsequent version on this webpage (or any successor webpage which Foothold makes the Client aware of).  Client is responsible for periodically reviewing this Agreement and if Client does not wish to accept such changes, Client must promptly after any such change notify Foothold in writing of its objection to such change (which notice must specify Client’s specific concern); otherwise, Client’s continued acceptance of any or all of the Services shall constitute Client’s acceptance of the modified Agreement whether or not Foothold notified Client of the changes.  Foothold, as a general practice, endeavors to provide its clients advance notice of any significant price changes or other changes to material terms of its agreement with such client.

g. Notices.  All notices under the Agreement must be in writing and shall be delivered by mail or by courier to the address specified below (or such other address as either Party shall notify in writing to the other for this purpose).
