EFFECTIVE DATE: October 14, 2024

This Master Services Agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered into by and between MSP PLUS OS INC, a Nevada Corporation ("MSP+OS" or "Company"), and the individual or entity ("Client"), collectively referred to as the "Parties." This Agreement is effective as of the date executed by the Client below.

In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1. SCOPE OF SERVICES.
   1. MSP+OS agrees to provide services ("Services") to the Client as detailed in separate addenda, change orders, proposals, or statements of work (each a "SOW"), which shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement.
   2. Each SOW must be signed by Client and will describe the specific Services to be performed, the fees, payment schedule, delivery timeline, and any other relevant details. Each SOW will become a part of this Agreement upon execution.
   3. Client acknowledges that any services not explicitly mentioned in a SOW are out of scope. If Client requests any material changes to the scope of Services after execution of a SOW, Company will provide to Client a summary of any effect the requested changes will have on delivery, timeline, and cost in a written amendment to the SOW (a "Change Order"). A Change Order will not be deemed binding until signed by Client.
   4. Many services include an onboarding / discovery period in which the MSP+OS team will be reviewing, documenting, and preparing to perform the Services in this Agreement. This timeframe can vary depending on the size of the Client, complexity of the project, Client-specific needs and/or other factors. This onboarding/discovery period is essential to the success of our Services. The Client acknowledges, understands, and accepts that, during this time, not all the Services available to them under this Agreement can be performed until after the onboarding/discovery period ends and is appropriate based on the Service and timelines to execute.
   5. All services performed under this agreement shall be conducted during the Company’s standard business hours, which are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM EST, excluding recognized holidays and any other non-operational days. Any services requested or rendered outside of these designated hours may incur additional charges, unless explicitly stated otherwise within the agreed-upon scope of work.
2. COMPENSATION
   1. Fees; Expenses. Client shall pay to Company all fees as set forth in the applicable SOW (collectively, "Fees"). Additionally, Client shall reimburse Company for all reasonable, pre-approved, out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the scope of Services (collectively, "Expenses").
   2. Payments. All invoices are in United States Dollars. The Client agrees to pay all invoices in accordance with the terms specified therein. MSP+OS accepts credit card (Visa, MasterCard or American Express), ACH and paper check methods of payment. Please note that Clients may be subject to a service fee for all credit card transactions equal to 3% of the transaction value. Some international Clients may be required to use direct wire-transfer payments, in which case each Party is responsible for any bank, transaction or governmental fees assessed to them by their financial institution or governmental agency. The Client agrees to enroll in the autopayment program for all monthly recurring charges under this contract. By enrolling in autopayment, the Client authorizes Company to automatically charge the Client's designated payment method on the due date of each billing cycle for the amount due. The Client acknowledges that it is their responsibility to ensure that sufficient funds are available in the designated payment method to cover the auto-payment. Client must dispute any Fees or Expenses invoiced within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice. Any undisputed amounts due to Company under this Agreement not received by the applicable date due will be subject to interest of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum interest permitted by law, whichever is less. Additionally, Company may, without liability to Client, suspend Services under any SOW where undisputed Fees and Expenses are not paid within fifteen (15) days of the applicable due date. Bounced, reversed, or charge back payments are subject to a $50 service fee. Payment terms are due upon receipt.
   3. Pricing. Any pricing information, estimates, and all other proposed solutions included in this Agreement, or any SOW, are based on MSP+OS's understanding and assumptions of the requirements and environment represented in the corresponding SOW, and on MSP+OS being awarded the entire scope of the work being requested (collectively, the "Conditions"). In the event any of the Conditions are not accurate or if any Condition changes or is altered during the term of this Agreement, MSP+OS shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and any related SOW immediately upon notice to Client.
   4. Events of Default; Remedies. The following events shall constitute events of default by Client under the Agreement (hereinafter, each an "Event of Default"):
      1. Client's failure to make any payment on the date owed.
      2. Client's breach or failure to comply with any agreement, covenant, condition, representation, requirement, or provision of the Agreement.
      3. Client's inability to pay its debts generally as they come due.
      4. Client is declared insolvent or bankrupt, is the subject of any proceedings relating to its liquidation, insolvency or for the appointment of a receiver or similar officer for it, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or enters into an agreement for the composition, extension, or readjustment of all or substantially all of its obligations.

      Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all unpaid installments shall become immediately due and payable.

      Unpaid balances that are 90 or more days past due under this agreement may result in additional action by MSP+OS to remedy the outstanding balance(s), which includes, but is not limited to nor limiting additional actions:

      1. Referring your unpaid balance and Agreement to a 3rd party collections agency.
      2. Report negative remarks on the Client's credit history.
      3. Seek remedy by lawsuit or other civil judicial process.
      4. Other appropriate, reasonable, and legal remedies to recover monies owed to MSP+OS.

      In such an event, the Client assumes and is responsible for all unpaid balances, interest or finance charges, fees, attorney's fees, court fees and any other charges incurred by MSP+OS to recover or remedy the outstanding balance(s).

      Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, an "Event of Default" shall not include any failure or delay in payment by the Client receiving an invoice if such failure or delay is solely attributable to a good faith and reasonable dispute between the Parties regarding the accuracy, validity, or appropriateness of the invoiced amount (a "Reasonable Invoice Dispute").

      In the event of a Reasonable Invoice Dispute, the Client shall promptly, but no later than 30 days after receipt of the disputed invoice, notify the MSP+OS issuing the invoice in writing of the specific details of the dispute, including the reasons for the dispute and any supporting documentation or evidence. Client shall promptly pay any balance not under dispute within the invoice terms.

      The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to resolve the Reasonable Invoice Dispute within 30 days of the Client's notification to the MSP+OS. During the dispute resolution period, the Client shall not be considered in breach of this Agreement, and MSP+OS shall not exercise any rights or remedies arising out of an Event of Default.

      If the Parties are unable to resolve the Reasonable Invoice Dispute within the timeframe specified above, either Party may pursue any available remedies under this Agreement or at law or in equity, provided that the Client's failure or delay in payment due to a Reasonable Invoice Dispute shall not, by itself, constitute an Event of Default.

      Upon resolution of the Reasonable Invoice Dispute, the Client shall promptly pay any amounts determined to be due and owing to the MSP+OS, together with any applicable interest or penalties, as specified in this Agreement.

3. CONFIDENTIALITY
   1. Definition. "Confidential Information" means, to the extent previously, presently or subsequently disclosed by or for a Party ("Discloser") to the other Party ("Recipient"), all non-public information of Discloser that either (a) has economic value by virtue of its being confidential, (b) is explicitly marked as being confidential or under the circumstances of disclosure reasonably ought to be considered confidential, or (c) would cause material harm or disadvantage to the Discloser if disclosed to third parties. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, Company intellectual property (“IP”) and the Discloser's original works of authorship, technical data, trade secrets, know-how, research, software, processes, technology, designs, drawings, marketing, financial or other business information. "Confidential Information" does not include information which (w) is known to Recipient at the time of disclosure as evidenced by written records of Recipient, (x) is or becomes publicly known and made generally available through no wrongful act of Recipient, (y) has been rightfully received by Recipient from a third Party who is authorized to make such disclosure, without breach of this Agreement by the Recipient, and not otherwise in violation of the Discloser's rights, or (z) was independently developed by the Recipient without any use of Confidential Information, as evidenced by written records.
   2. Non-Use and Non-Disclosure. As to the Discloser's Confidential Information, Recipient shall not, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, use Discloser's Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever other than the performance of this Agreement, nor shall Recipient disclose Discloser's Confidential Information to any third party that does not have a need to know such information for purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that said Confidential Information is and will remain the sole property of Discloser. Recipient further shall take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized disclosure of such Confidential Information including, but not limited to, having each employee of Recipient with access to any Confidential Information, if any, execute a nondisclosure agreement containing provisions in Discloser's favor no less restrictive than this Section 3. These restrictions will not prevent either Party from complying with any law, regulation, court order or other legal requirement that purports to compel disclosure of any Confidential Information. Such compelled disclosure will not render the information disclosed non-Confidential Information.
   3. Reference to this Agreement. The Parties and their personnel are entitled to disclose the existence of this Agreement and describe the Services in summary and general form, without revealing any Confidential Information. This Agreement supersedes any prior agreement entered into between the Parties relating to the confidentiality of any Confidential Information disclosed by Discloser.
   4. Return of Materials. Upon Discloser's request, Recipient shall return or destroy all of Discloser's property or Confidential Information that Recipient may have in its possession or control. Upon such request, Discloser must provide an itemized list of Confidential Information with instruction that Recipient either return or destroy such Confidential Information.
4. NON-SOLICITATION. Both the Company and the Client acknowledge and agree that the employees and subcontractors of the other party are valuable assets. Accordingly, each party agrees that, for the term of this Agreement and for a period of twenty-four (24) months thereafter, neither party shall, directly or indirectly, solicit the services of any employee or contractor of the other party who performs Services for the benefit of the soliciting party or otherwise attempt to reduce an employee's or contractor's business relationship with the other party. The foregoing is not intended to restrict either party from accepting unsolicited responses from public job postings.
5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND WORK PRODUCT
   1. Definition of Intellectual Property. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "IP" refers to all confidential or proprietary materials in which MSP+OS or its affiliates have an intellectual property interest, including, without limitation, computer programs, methodologies, templates flowcharts, and documentation, as well as copyrights, trademarks, service marks, ideas, concepts, know-how, techniques, knowledge, or data, and any derivatives thereof, which have been originated, developed, or purchased by MSP+OS, a parent or affiliate of MSP+OS, or by third parties under contract to MSP+OS or to a parent or affiliate of MSP+OS.
   2. Definition of Work Product. "Work Product" means tangible and intangible property developed or purchased solely for or by Client pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and an applicable SOW.
   3. Company IP; Ownership. MSP+OS shall retain ownership of all methodologies, strategies, tools, processes, lessons, concepts, designs, artwork, notes, records, drawings, trade names, service marks, documentation, and other materials (as well as all IP rights subsisting therein) ("Company IP") provided to Client by the Company in the course of Services. Client shall not use, reproduce, display, perform, or create derivative works of Company IP except in the course of receiving the Services. Any use of Company IP by Client will inure to the benefit of Company. Client shall not challenge MSP+OS's sole and exclusive ownership of the Company IP.
   4. Work Product; Ownership. Until the Client has paid and fully satisfied its obligations under the applicable SOW and this Agreement, MSP+OS shall retain title to and ownership of all Work Product. In the event of a default by Client, MSP+OS shall have the right to enter upon any location where Work Product is located and to take possession of, remove, or render inoperable any Work Product.
   5. Work Product; Licensing. To the extent that existing Company IP is incorporated in any deliverables (including Work Product), MSP+OS grants to Client a royalty-free, irrevocable, worldwide, nontransferable, non-exclusive, internal use, perpetual license to use, modify, and prepare derivative works of such IP and to use and display such IP, but only to the extent required to utilize the deliverables in accordance with all limitations in this Agreement and as may be set forth in the relevant SOW. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to permit Client to disclose, provide access to, sublicense, disassemble, decompile, reverse engineer, modify, create derivative works of, or transfer any of MSP+OS's or its licensor's IP to a subsidiary, affiliate, or third party without prior, written consent of MSP+OS. Furthermore, nothing herein shall be construed as limiting MSP+OS's ownership of any patent, copyright, or other intellectual property or trade secret rights in any information developed independently of this Agreement even though such information may have been used in connection with MSP+OS's performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall prohibit MSP+OS or its affiliates or any of their employees or subcontractors from providing similar services to others and/or from using or disclosing to others the general knowledge, skill, and experience that they have developed over the years, including the general knowledge, skill, and experience that MSP+OS and they develop under this Agreement.

   2. The Client is solely responsible for maintaining active login and system access for the MSP+OS team to fulfill the terms of this Agreement and any applicable SOW. Should the MSP+OS team not be able to access your Client system(s), any service level agreement (SLA) response times will be suspended until the system access is resolved. Additionally, a lack of access to system(s) required to perform the services provided in this Agreement does not constitute a valid form of termination, credit for unused services or other renumeration.
   3. Client assumes full responsibility to back-up and/or otherwise protect all data against loss, damage, breach, or destruction.
   4. Client represents and warrants that Client has title to or has a license or the right to use or modify the Software License or right to permit MSP+OS to use, access or modify any Software License that Client has requested MSP+OS to use, access or modify as part of the Services. It is Client's responsibility to independently ensure that all Software Licenses in use by Client are properly licensed. MSP+OS will not promote the use of, or knowingly support software which is not properly licensed by Client. Assistance with software audits or Software Licensing compliance matters are billable at MSP+OS's then current hourly rates.
   5. During the course of performing the services outlined in this Agreement, it is essential that both MSP+OS and the Client honor and attend scheduled meetings with one another. While not all our services require regular meetings, most are critical to ensuring the continued progress and success of Services being performed. As such, missed meetings can slow and even delay our Services and meeting the goals discussed for the Services provided. While unforeseen circumstances, illness or other factors are a fact of life, we ask that all of our Clients provided at least 12-hour notice to cancel or reschedule a meeting. Habitual or critical missed meetings without notice may result in a no-show or hour-deduction penalty at the discretion of MSP+OS.
   6. Consent to Contact Vendor. During the course of performing the Services outlined in this Agreement, MSP+OS may be required to contact additional support or sales provided by the software manufacturer (vendor) on the Client's behalf. The Client agrees and consents to MSP+OS contacting the vendor on their behalf, open a "service ticket" and follow-up with the vendor.

Company warrants and represents that (a) it has the right and power to enter into and fully perform this Agreement and (b) the Services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner, in accordance with the then-current standard industry practices for services of a similar nature. Client agrees that MSP+OS shall bear no responsibility for the performance, repair, or warranty of any third-party software or hardware products that may be included in or referred to in the SOW, and Client shall look solely to such third party for all remedies and support regarding such products or services.
   2. Indemnification by Client. Client shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Company and its members, managers, agents, and employees from and against all claims, losses, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees), damages, demands, discovery and proceedings (collectively, "Claims") arising from or in connection with (a) Client's gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (b) any third-party allegation that, if true, would constitute a material breach of any of Client's obligations, warranties, or representations under this Agreement. Client agrees to hold harmless MSP+OS from claims for application failures, data loss, or other harm, injury, or damage suffered as a result of software bugs or incompatibilities, spyware, hacking, or any other unauthorized system access, sabotage, or information theft.

   4. Procedure for Indemnification. A Party entitled to indemnification under this Section 7 shall provide the indemnifying Party with (a) prompt written notice of such claim, (b) control over the defense and settlement of such claim and (c) proper and full information and assistance to settle and/or defend any such claim, provided that the indemnifying Party may not make any settlement that either imposes liability or admission of guilt on the indemnified Party without such Party's prior written consent.

EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
8. TERM AND NON-RENEWAL

   1. Recurring Services. Services that are rendered periodically, at intervals specified on the original agreement, for the duration of the initial term are subject to the following terms and conditions:

      1. Initial Term Period. The initial term and start date of this Agreement are specified within the Agreement. During this initial term, you agree to pay all fees outlined in this Agreement for the entire duration. If you terminate the Agreement within this initial term, you must pay the remaining balance within 30 days of termination. If fees were prepaid, no refund will be issued for the remaining period. Upon the initial term's conclusion, the Agreement will automatically renew for the same term length. Fees are subject to an annual adjustment mechanism, calculated as the higher of 5% or the Consumer Price Index + 1%, with notifications provided at least 30 days before any adjustments take effect.
      2. Notice of Non-Renewal. The Client may submit a Notice of Non-Renewal of this Agreement by providing a minimum of 30 days' written notice. The non-renewal will be effective at the end of the current term period, unless cancelled earlier in accordance with Sections 8.e(2) and 11.c. The Client is responsible for all fees and charges incurred up to the effective date of cancellation. Non-payment and non-use of the services provided under this Agreement do not constitute valid methods of non-renewing this Agreement.
      3. Fee Changes. If the client's environment changes significantly, such as having more or fewer users, devices, applications, or service levels that require a different service tier, MSP+OS will let the client know of the changes and the new fees at least 30 days in advance. The client can either fix the changes or agree to the new service tier and pricing. The initial term period will not change.
   2. Fixed-Fee Projects. Fixed Fee Projects are Services that are defined by specific outcomes or goals (goal) with a projected or estimated timeline for the completion of those goals.
      1. Under this Agreement, MSP+OS will perform all work required to meet the goal of the Service within the Scope defined by the Proposal. While a timeline is provided, that timeline is only an estimate and can be delayed or accelerated at any time. If such an event should occur, the Client is not entitled to a refund or credit for accelerated completion nor responsible for additional payment of delayed completion.
      2. Fixed fee projects cannot be cancelled or paused once work has begun, unless cancelled earlier in accordance with Sections 8.e(2) and 11.c. The Client understands and agrees they are responsible for the entire project fee.
      3. MSP+OS reserves the right to determine a project has been abandoned by the Client for delays exceeding three (3) months. The Client understands and agrees they are responsible for the entire project fee even if their project has been abandoned.
      4. Out-of-scope or special requests not considered part of the Service defined in the Proposal is subject to additional cost.
   3. On-Demand / Block-Time Services. On-Demand hourly "Block Time" Agreements provide a fixed number of available hours for work to be performed at the request of the Client.
      1. This Services does not include project management or proactive communication about unused hours, and it is the responsibility of the Client to request specific work for available hours. Unless otherwise indicated on the Proposal, On-Demand hourly "block time" agreements, in which a client has paid for a specific number of hours of work, must be used within six (6) months after the date of purchase. Any unused hours of work shall be forfeit and non-refundable. Minimum monthly use of block time services may be needed, as stated in the related SOW.
   4. Hourly Projects. An hourly-based project includes the estimated number of hours to achieve a specific outcome as defined in the Proposal.
      1. The estimated number of hours is based on the Client's description of the Service needed, estimated work-hours and staff, resource needs and other factors. While every effort is made to stay within the estimated number of hours, MSP+OS cannot guarantee that the actual number of hours required is less or more than the Proposal.
      2. Work in progress ("WIP") to be billed at regular intervals.
   5. Survival. Cancellation of this Agreement shall also constitute termination of all associated SOWs. Cancellation does not relieve Client's obligations to pay all accrued fees and amounts. In the case of any finance arrangements, the outstanding balance is due in full upon termination of the applicable SOW. The termination of any SOW in accordance with its terms shall not terminate this Agreement or any other SOW. Sections 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 shall expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.
   6. Cancellation Charges. If any SOW is terminated early for any reason other than by MSP+OS in accordance with Section 8.e(2) above, then a termination charge shall be due from Client to MSP+OS on the cancellation date. Client agrees that the damages that would be sustained by MSP+OS from Client's early cancellation or default of a SOW or this Agreement cannot readily be determined, and that the termination charge constitutes "liquidated damages" and not a penalty. Client waives any claim that such cancellation charge constitutes a penalty.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

IN NO EVENT SHALL MSP+OS BE LIABLE TO CLIENT FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE PERFORMANCE OR BREACH THEREOF OR ANY WARRANTY CLAIM, EVEN IF MSP+OS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

No exercise or enforcement by either Party of any right or remedy under this Agreement will preclude the enforcement by such Party of any other right or remedy under this Agreement or that such Party is entitled by law to enforce.
    5. Severability.

    8. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. The formation, construction, performance, and enforcement of this Agreement shall be in accordance with the laws of the United States and the state of Nevada without regard to its conflict of law provisions or the conflict of law provisions of any other jurisdiction. In the event of a dispute arising out of this Agreement, the parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute by negotiation between the parties. If they are unable to resolve the dispute, either party may commence mediation and/or binding arbitration through the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The prevailing party in any dispute resolved by binding arbitration or litigation shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees and costs. In all other circumstances, the parties specifically consent to the jurisdiction of the local, state, and federal courts located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The parties hereby waive any jurisdictional or venue defenses available to them and further consent to service of process by mail.

       The arbitration shall take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, before a single neutral arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect of the AAA (the "AAA Rules"). The arbitrator shall render a final decision pursuant to the AAA Rules within thirty (30) days after filing of the claim. The final decision of the arbitrator shall be furnished to the Parties in writing and shall constitute the conclusive determination of the issue in question binding upon the Parties and shall not be contested by any of them. Such decision may be used in a court of law only for the purpose of seeking enforcement of the arbitrator's decision. The prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief that such party may be entitled. For purposes of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be that party in whose favor final judgment is rendered or who substantially prevails, if both parties are awarded judgment.

    9. Independent Contractors. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Company is an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement will in any way be construed to constitute Company as an agent, employee, or representative of Client, but Company shall perform the Services hereunder as an independent contractor. Company shall furnish all tools and materials necessary to accomplish this contract, and will incur all expenses associated with performance, except as expressly provided on the applicable SOW. Company acknowledges and agrees that Company is obligated to report as income all compensation received by Company pursuant to this Agreement, and Company acknowledges its obligation to pay all employment and other taxes thereon.
