Dear James,
This letter shall serve as a formal Agreement between Digital Lava, Inc. ("Digital Lava") and Lesson Lab, Inc. ("Customer."). Customer desires that Digital Lava perform custom development and programming services in connection with Digital
Lava's VideoVisor Product ("VideoVisor") to allow Customer to customize VideoVisor as set forth in Attachment A hereto.
1. Services. Digital Lava shall provide the Services set forth on Attachment A
hereto and shall deliver to Customer all work product, documentation and
results of such Services (the "Deliverables") according to the Delivery
Schedule set forth on Attachment A. With respect to the performance of
Services, Customer will neither direct nor supervise Digital Lava's
employees or staff with respect to said individuals' tasks or
responsibilities without Digital Lava's express written consent. Digital
Lava intends to perform the Services at Digital Lava's premises.
2. Acceptance. Customer shall have [10] business days after delivery and
installation of the Deliverables (or re-installation resulting from
correction of defects by repair or replacement of the Deliverables) to
evaluate and test the Deliverables to determine that they conform with
Attachment A hereto. If Customer, in its best business judgment, determines
that the Deliverables fail to conform to the requirements of Attachment A,
it shall immediately notify Digital Lava in writing, specifying in detail
the reasons that Customer believes the Deliverables fail to conform.
Digital Lava shall have [15] business days in which to correct and resubmit
the Deliverables to Customer. Customer shall then have [3] business days in
which to re-evaluate and test the Deliverables for conformance with
Attachment A, and shall notify Digital Lava as set forth above of any
nonconformance. Digital Lava shall have [5] business days in which to
correct and resubmit the Deliverables to Customer. Customer shall then have
[2] business days to re-test the Deliverables, and to provide Digital Lava
with notice rejection of the Deliverables for nonconformance. Silence shall
be deemed to be acceptance. If Digital Lava fails to correct the
Deliverables to conform to Attachment A within such time period, Customer
may terminate this Agreement. Upon acceptance of such Deliverables, Digital
Lava shall provide ongoing maintenance and support pursuant to Section 3(b)
of this Agreement.
3. Fees and Payment.
a. Progress Payments. In consideration for the rights and obligations set
forth herein, Customer will pay Digital Lava according to the Payment
Schedule set forth on Attachment A. By executing this Agreement,
Customer confirms the budget for the work, and the charges and
purchases set forth in Appendix A hereto. If Customer wishes to
enlarge the scope of the Services or implement additional features or
subtasks, the parties shall agree upon the costs therefor in advance
in writing.
b. Upgrades and Support. If Customer desires to receive continuing
support and upgrades beyond those set forth on Attachment A, it agrees
to pay Digital Lava an amount equal to Forty Percent (40%) of Payments
due for Services. Any such support and upgrade fees will be due in
cash at the beginning of the year for which such support will be
provided. Note: This was not discussed with Stigler. We can put this
in and choose to waive it.
c. Expenses. Customer will reimburse Digital Lava for incidental expenses
and disbursements incurred by Digital Lava related to travel and
lodging, shipping, and any other incidental expenses incurred in the
performance of the Services. Digital Lava shall bear sole
responsibility for expenses incurred to acquire the necessary tools to
perform the Services. If Digital Lava needs to procure any third party
computer software, hardware, other office supplies or any other
subcontracted services or products to implement, perform, or install
items set forth in Attachment A, which purchase will exceed $1000,
Digital Lava will notify Customer in advance, and obtain approval for
the amount of the purchase plus any applicable sales tax.
d. Billing. Digital Lava will invoice Customer for reimbursable
incidental expenses and disbursements and any Customer approved third
party purchases on a monthly basis. The invoice will include a report
itemizing the expenses and third party purchases. Customer shall pay
all invoices within 30 days of receipt, and shall not make any
deductions thereto.
4. Termination.
a. By Digital Lava. Failure of Customer to make payments to Digital Lava
in accordance with this Agreement shall be considered substantial
nonperformance and cause for termination. If Customer fails to make
payments when due, Digital Lava may, upon seven days' written notice
to Customer suspend performance under this agreement. Unless payment
in full is received by Digital Lava within seven days of the date of
the notice, the suspension shall take
effect without further notice. In the event of a suspension of
services, Digital Lava shall have no liability to Customer for delay
or damage caused Customer because of such suspension of services.
b. By Customer. Customer shall have the right at any time to terminate
this Agreement on thirty (30) days' written notice. In the event of
such termination, and provided termination is not as a result of
Digital Lava's unremedied breach of this Agreement, Customer shall pay
Digital Lava then accrued payments due under the Delivery Schedule,
plus the pro-rated portion of the next payment, if any, due with
respect to items being worked on up to the time of termination, plus
reimbursable expenses, plus twenty percent (20%) of the total charges
due through the date of the termination. Should Customer wish to
delete specific subtasks, Customer will notify Digital Lava
immediately in writing. As long as said deletions represent less than
twenty percent of the labor cost for the project, Customer shall not
be liable for the twenty percent termination penalty.
c. Termination for Breach. Either party may terminate this Agreement upon
seven (7) days' written notice to the other party in the event the
other party materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure such
breach within fifteen (15) days' written notice from the non-breaching
5. Ownership. All right, title and interest in and to the object code only of
the Deliverables shall be owned by Digital Lava; provided, however, that
Customer shall have the perpetual, non-exclusive right to use the
Deliverables as set forth in this Agreement. No license or other rights in
the Deliverables is granted hereby.
