Upon signature by both Union Street Media (“USM”) and Client in the spaces indicated below, the proposal set forth above
will be deemed accepted by the Client, and thus the proposal set forth above, together with the terms below, will become the
binding agreement of USM and Client (the proposal set forth above, together with the terms set forth below, are collectively
referred to as the “Agreement”). This Agreement shall be effective as of the date the last party executes this Agreement in
the signature lines provided below (“Contract Start Date”).
Services: During the term of this Agreement, USM will provide Client with (i) website, digital marketing, design, and/or other
services as indicated on the proposal set forth above; sometimes referred to as the “Services.” The parties may modify the
scope of Services only by mutual written agreement.
Term: The initial term of this Agreement shall be a 12-month period beginning as of the Site Launch Date or Digital Marketing
Start Date (“Initial Term Effective Date”) indicated on the proposal set forth above (“Initial Term”), whichever is sooner.
Following the Initial Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive one year periods on each anniversary
of the Initial Term Effective Date, unless either party gives the other written notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before
the next renewal date.
Termination: Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party breaches a material provision of this Agreement
and such breach is not cured within 10 days of the non-breaching party’s delivery of written notice of the breach to the
breaching party. In addition, at any time following the Initial Term, either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason
upon 30 days prior written notice to the other party. Client must deliver written notice to Client’s Digital Success Specialist. In
the event of termination, Client shall pay all amounts accrued prior to such termination (monthly charges are not prorated),
USM shall have no further obligation to provide Services and Client shall cease all use of the USM Materials.
Fees/Rates: The Services itemized in the proposal set forth above are billed at the applicable fees as stated in such
proposal. Client understands and agrees that Services in addition to those specified in the proposal set forth above are billed
on an hourly basis at USM’s hourly rates then in effect. USM’s rate is currently $200.00 per hour for Project Planning &
Management, Site Design, Content Conversion, Site Production, Evaluation & Launch, Training, Digital Marketing, Software
Development, Support services, and custom development work such as Programming, Database Integration, and/or Content
Management System Customization. Such hourly rates are subject to change upon 30 days prior written notice to Client.
Client further understands and agrees that “estimates” or “estimated hours” provided to Client in the proposal set forth
above or in any other document are subject to change. If Services exceed any estimates provided to Client, then upon email,
hard copy, or verbal notification to Client, USM shall perform the additional work at the applicable hourly rates. By way of
example and not limitation, it is understood and agreed that any of the following may result in an increase in fees over and
above any estimates provided by USM: (a) if discovery and content collection do not commence within 1 month of the Initial
Term Effective Date; (b) if Client does not provide content to USM on a timely basis; (c) if Client provides incorrect or
incomplete content to USM; (d) if Client does not promptly review all deliverables provided by USM and provide feedback;
and (e) if Client changes the timing or scope of any Services. Client agrees to pay travel expenses incurred by USM employees
in the development and maintenance of the web site.
MLS Fees/Rates: The Client agrees to pay all fees, charges, and costs incurred for the use of the Multiple Listing Service
(“MLS”) associated with the services provided under this Agreement. Such fees include but are not limited to subscription
fees, listing fees, data access fees, per URL fees, and any other charges imposed by the MLS. The Client acknowledges
that MLS fees may be billed directly by the MLS or invoiced by USM. The Client acknowledges that MLS fees are subject
to change at the discretion of the MLS and USM. The Client agrees to pay any increased fees or new charges that may
arise during the term of this Agreement.
Payment: Deposits are not refundable. All payments shall be payable to: Union Street Media, 444 South Union Street,
Burlington, Vermont 05401. Client payment for Web Site Development Services are due in full to USM on the Initial Term
Effective Date unless otherwise stated in the proposal set forth above or agreed to in writing by both parties. Late payments
will accrue interest at a rate of 1.5% a month, including any delay in payments for the annual, quarterly or monthly support
and hosting package. USM reserves the right to disable the Client’s web site if any payment is over ten (10) days past due.
In the event that USM brings any action to collect payment, the Client agrees to pay USM its reasonable attorney’s fees and
all other reasonable costs incurred by USM in the collection of such amounts. All payments made under this Agreement are
non-refundable. If Client pays by credit card, and later disputes the charge, Client agrees not to request a charge-back from
its credit card issuer unless and until Client has made a good faith effort to resolve the dispute directly with USM. Client
agrees to submit any request for a charge-back to its credit card issuer no later than thirty (30) days after the date Client
made the disputed payment to USM. The Client agrees to pay any sales, use or transfer taxes that may be applicable to the
Services provided under this Agreement, including any taxes that may be assessed on audit of USM’s tax returns.
