1. DEFINITIONS.
"Marste" means Marste & Co., Inc., a corporation duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of New
York, USA, and doing business in such state under the names Juriscribe®
and SpanLingua®. "Client" means the individual or
entity contracting for services hereunder or the entity on whose
behalf the services are contracted. "Terms and Conditions"
means the terms and conditions embodied herein. "Source Materials"
means the documents and other materials provided by Client to Marste
for translation hereunder. "Deliverable" shall mean any
product or service provided or delivered by or on behalf of Marste
to Client or any designee(s) thereof. "Specifications"
means the written specifications agreed to between Marste and Client
with respect to Deliverables. Marste and Client are sometimes referred
to herein as the "Party" or "Parties", as the
case may be.
2. FEES. Unless otherwise
agreed in writing by Marste, all fees for Deliverables provided
by Marste hereunder are payable in full, in United States dollars,
prior to the delivery or provision thereof. At Client's request,
Marste shall provide a written estimate of its fees upon review
of the Specifications and any Source Materials or other documentation
provided by Client. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Marste,
Client is liable to Marste for payment in full of Marste's invoice
for Deliverables, whether or not such invoice amount exceeds the
amount quoted by Marste in its written estimate. Client shall pay
Marste such deposit as may be requested by Marste in writing, prior
to commencement of the assignment. Under no circumstances shall
Marste be liable for any delay in delivering or providing the Deliverables
if such delay results, directly or indirectly, from (1) the failure
or inability of Client to provide Marste with the fee deposit, complete
and/or legible copies of Source Materials, if applicable, (2) the
failure of Client to timely comply with any other obligation or
to timely provide any other materials or information needed for
the preparation and/or delivery of any Deliverables, or (3) instances
of force majeure or any other reason beyond the control of Marste.
Client understands and agrees that any change in the Specifications
after the acceptance of an estimate by Marste may result in delays
in delivery of the Deliverables and/or additional fees, even if
the scope of the project in question is narrower as a result of
such change in Specifications.
3. LIMITED WARRANTY.
Marste represents and warrants to Client that all translations of
written or spoken language into a particular target language shall
be complete and accurate translations and will otherwise meet all
applicable Specifications. In the event that Client has any claim
for inaccuracy, incompleteness or any other failure of Deliverables
to meet the Specifications, Client must notify Marste within thirty
(30) days from receipt of the Deliverables. Failure by Client to
notify Marste of any claim with respect to the Deliverables within
said thirty (30) day deadline shall be deemed a permanent waiver
of any such claim. Client understands and agrees that Marste may,
at its sole option and expense, revise Deliverables or retranslate
Source Materials in order to make the Deliverables conform to the
Specifications. THIS REPRESENTS THE ENTIRE WARRANTY OF MARSTE FOR
DELIVERABLES HEREUNDER, AND THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED. CLIENT UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
SHALL MARSTE BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL
DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS, WITH RESPECT
TO THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY MARSTE. CLIENT UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES
THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL MARSTE'S LIABILITY TO CLIENT EXCEED
THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES PAID TO MARSTE HEREUNDER.
4. GOVERNING LAW - ARBITRATION.
These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States
of America, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any
dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions
shall be referred to an arbitration panel composed of three arbitrators,
one to be chosen by each Party and the third to be chosen by each
arbitrator so selected. The arbitration will be held in the City
of New York, State of New York, under the rules of the American
Arbitration Association then in effect, and the award of the Arbitration
Panel shall be final and binding on both Parties. Each Party shall
bear its own costs. If either Party refuses or fails to appoint
an arbitrator within twenty (20) days from notice of the arbitration,
the arbitrator selected by the other Party shall appoint a second
arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected shall appoint the
third.
5. REPRESENTATIONS OF CLIENT
- INDEMNIFICATION. Client represents and warrants to Marste
that (1) it is duly authorized to enter into this agreement; (2)
it owns or has the right to use the Source Materials for the purposes
contemplated herein; and (3) the translation of the Source Materials
shall not infringe any intellectual or industrial property right(s)
of any third party. Client hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Marste
harmless from and against any claims, demands, judgment or liability
asserted or threatened against Marste, its directors, officers,
employees and agents, as a result of the use of any Deliverables
provided by Marste hereunder, including without limitation for infringement
of copyright, patent, trademark, trade name, service name, or any
other intellectual or industrial property right of any third party.
6. CONFIDENTIALITY. Marste
shall maintain in strict confidence any confidential and/or proprietary
information of Client divulged hereunder, whether contained in the
Source Materials or any other documentation. At Client's request
and sole cost and expense, Marste shall return to Client or destroy
any and all copies of the Deliverables and/or Source Materials.
7. RECORDS RETENTION.
Marste shall keep Deliverables on file for a period of three (3)
months following delivery thereof to Client. Thereafter, Marste
may, at its sole discretion, delete or destroy any and all copies
of the Deliverables, including without limitation by purging the
electronic versions of such Deliverables from its computers and
any hard drives, floppy disks or other electronic media, and by
shredding or otherwise disposing of all printed copies thereof.
8. NOTICES. All notices
required or sought hereunder shall be in writing and sent to the
relevant Party at its last known address by certified mail return
receipt requested, facsimile with transmission receipt, or overnight
courier with signed delivery receipt. Notice shall be deemed given
on the date received, if sent by mail or overnight courier, or on
the date sent, if sent by facsimile transmission.
9. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.
These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between
Marste and Client, and supersede any prior oral or written understandings,
contracts or agreements between the Parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between these
Terms and Conditions and the provisions contained in any other communications,
proposals, estimates, contracts, agreements, work orders, or other
documentation, these Terms and Conditions shall govern. In order
to be valid, any amendment to this agreement must be in writing
and signed by both parties, and explicitly state the provision hereof
which it is intended to replace.
10. MISCELLANEOUS.
The Terms and Conditions contained herein which by their sense and
context are intended to survive termination, shall survive. The
failure by Marste to enforce any term or condition shall not constitute
a general waiver of any other term or condition. If any portion
of these Terms and Conditions is held invalid or unenforceable,
the balance shall remain unaffected and these Terms and Conditions
shall be construed as not containing that portion. Headings in these
Terms and Conditions are for convenience purposes only and do not
affect the meaning, enforceability or interpretation of any provision.
