Decker Media shall provide the services requested by Customer under this Agreement, except as excused, pursuant to the section entitled “Delays” below. The Parties may agree to extend the duration of providing application programming services without waiving any rights under this Agreement.
8. Cancellation or Termination of Agreement: This Agreement may be terminated at any time by Decker Media without cause. Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time for cause; that is, failure of the other Party to fulfill or comply in some material way with their obligations set forth in this Agreement, if the Party desiring to terminate gives written notice to the other Party of the breach and fifteen days to cure the breach before the termination becomes effective. Failure of Customer to (a) cooperate with Decker Media, (b) provide requested information in a timely manner, or (c) make payment to Decker Media timely or in the amounts set forth in this Agreement each are examples of events that constitute “cause” for Decker Media to terminate this Agreement.
9. Cancellation Fee: There is no cancellation fee if Customer is cancelling an ongoing, monthly prepaid service that has no term commitment. For all other Projects, if this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than without cause by Decker Media, Customer shall pay the following cancellation fee to Decker Media (unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing signed by both Parties). Customer shall pay to Decker Media (A) $150.00, (B) multiplied by the total number of hours worked by Decker Media for the Customer, then (C) subtracting from that figure the amount already paid by Customer [(A x B) - C = total cancellation fee due], within five days after the date of termination. If Decker Media terminates this Agreement without cause, then no cancellation fee shall be due from Customer.
10. Default and Remedies: Either Party claiming a default by the other Party (including but not limited to a default by Customer in making payment) must give written notice of the default to the other Party at the Party’s active email address provided to that Party by the other Party, and then allow fifteen days from the date of the notice for the other Party to cure the default. Failure to give notice and allow time for cure shall preclude the failing Party from exercising its remedies under this Agreement. If Customer fails to timely pay Decker Media according to the terms set forth in this Agreement and Customer fails to cure this breach within fifteen days after written notice of the breach is given to Customer by Decker Media, then Decker Media is relieved from performing any and all of its obligations under this Agreement. Decker Media may, at its option, continue to perform its obligations under this Agreement without re-assuming the obligations it was relieved from performing. Decker Media may also proceed to enforce its rights under this Agreement by any lawful means and/or in equity.
11. Limited Liability: Decker Media shall not be liable for any damage to Customer's hardware, software, applications, or other systems and property directly or indirectly caused by or related to the work done by Decker Media. Additionally, regarding services provided pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Decker Media makes no warranty, express or implied, and Decker Media disclaims any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement, regardless of the reason, or no reason, for termination. Decker Media cannot and shall not be held responsible for internet security threats such as third party vendors, Customer’s employees, and third party software programs that access, reside in, or are in any way connected to the website or software developed by Decker Media. Decker Media also cannot and shall not be held responsible if Customer allows any third party to make any changes to any finished products provided by Decker Media that cause any of those finished products to experience problems or to no longer function properly. Decker Media cannot and shall not be held responsible for any hack attempts, hackers accessing or stealing credit card or other data, standard usage problems, fraudulent activity, breach of data security, transaction errors, system errors, or any other security issues related in any way to any finished products provided by Decker Media.
Customer is solely responsible for any and all business and transaction process rules. If any finished product provided by Decker Media to Customer is fully operational at completion, but later experiences problems or fails to work or to work properly, Decker Media shall not be responsible for the “break” unless the failure is caused by the gross negligence of Decker Media in developing that product.
In no event will Decker Media be liable for any lost profits or other damages, including direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or any other type of damages, arising out of this Agreement or related to any work done by Decker Media, even if Decker Media has been advised by Customer of the possibility of these damages. The Parties acknowledge that the price for application programming services and/or marketing services would be much greater if Decker Media undertook more extensive liability.
12. Indemnity: Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Decker Media of and from any and all claims, demands, losses, causes of action, damage, lawsuits, and judgments (including but not limited to attorneys' fees, court costs, and expenses of collection) that arise from or are related to the work or services performed by Decker Media. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.
13. General Provisions:
a. Assignment: Neither Party can assign this Agreement or and of the rights or obligations in it without approval of the other Party, and this approval will not be unreasonably withheld.
b. Delays: Decker Media's obligation to perform under this Agreement shall be excused without liability when prevented by strike, terrorism, act of God, governmental action, accident, acts of third parties outside Decker Media’s control, acts of Customer, or any other condition beyond Decker Media's reasonable control. Decker Media agrees to resume performance as soon as practicable following cessation of the condition, unless resumption is determined by Decker Media in its reasonable discretion to be impossible or impracticable.
