The complete agreement between the Parties (the “Agreement“) consists of these Terms and all of the Service Contracts with the Customer. In the event of any conflict between a Service Contract and the Terms, the Service Contract shall govern. FutureEcom reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Such modifications and additional terms and conditions will be communicated to the Customer and will be effective immediately. Customer’s continued receipt of the Services following any such modification and/or amendment shall be deemed acknowledgment thereof and consent thereto. In the event of any conflict between the Service Contract and the Terms, the Service Contract shall govern.

    2. All undisputed fees and charges are due within fifteen (15) days after issuance of invoice. Any invoiced charges not received when due will accrue interest at a rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or the highest rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is lower.

    1. Each party acknowledges that it will have access to certain confidential information of the other party (“Confidential Information“), which shall include data or information relating to the business of the disclosing party, regardless of whether the data or information constitutes a trade secret, whether such information is disclosed to the other party or of which the other party became aware of as a consequence of this Agreement, not generally known to competitors of the disclosing party, and which includes product information, methods of operation, names of customers or other customer information, price lists, marketing strategies, financial information and projections, route books, personnel data, and similar information however disclosed and in whatever form, whether or not such information is marked as confidential; provided, however, that such term shall not mean data or information (A) which has been voluntarily disclosed to the public by the disclosing party; (B) which has been independently developed and disclosed by others; or (C) which has otherwise entered the public domain through lawful means.

  10. Change Control
    1. The parties agree to work together in a reasonable manner to resolve changes required to be made to any aspect of the Services, as provided for herein.
    2. Should the need for changes to a project arise, the parties will discuss the required changes, and capture the agreed upon changes in the form of a written change order (the “Change Order“). The Change Order will specify the nature of the changes to service scope, approach, resources and/or deliverables as well as specify additional fees and/or expenses to be incurred as a result of the changes as well as any timeline or schedule changes to the originally agreed upon project schedule as provided for in the Service Contract. In order to be effective, a Change Order must be signed by both parties to this Agreement. Should a disagreement arise out of the need for a Change Order, the dispute resolution provisions of this Agreement govern the handling of that dispute.
    3. Unless otherwise provided in the Service Contract, and except as otherwise provided for herein, Customer shall pay additional charges for changes requested by Customer which are outside the scope of the Services on either a time and materials basis, and which exceed 5% of the time required to deliver the Services defined in the Service Contract, at FutureEcom’s standard rates for the resources involved in the change or an alternate rate that is mutually agreed upon by the parties, or by an increase in the regularly billed fees specified in the Service Contract. Such charges shall be in addition to all other amounts payable under the Service Contract, regardless of any maximum budget, contract price or final price identified therein.
    4. If Customer requests or instructs changes that amount to a revision of 15% or more of the time required to deliver the Services defined in the Service Contract and/or the value or scope of the Services, FutureEcom shall be entitled to submit a new and separate statement of work (“SOW“) to Customer for written approval. Work shall not begin on the revised services until a fully signed revised SOW and, if required, any additional fees are received by FutureEcom.
    5. FutureEcom will prioritize performance of the Services as may be necessary or as identified in the SOW, and will undertake commercially reasonable efforts to perform the Services within the time(s) identified in the SOW. Customer agrees to review deliverables within the time identified for such reviews and to within a commercially reasonable amount of time either, (i) approve the deliverables in writing or (ii) provide written comments and/or corrections sufficient to identify the Customer’s concerns, objections or corrections to FutureEcom. FutureEcom shall be entitled to request written clarification of any concern, objection or correction. Customer acknowledges and agrees that FutureEcom’s ability to meet any and all schedules is entirely dependent upon Customer’s prompt performance of its obligations to provide materials and written approvals and/or instructions pursuant to the SOW and that any delays in Customer’s performance or changes in the Services or deliverables requested by Customer may delay delivery of the deliverables. Any such delay caused by Customer shall not constitute a breach of any term, condition or FutureEcom’s obligations under this Agreement.
  11. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
    1. THE WEBSITE AND ALL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES PROVIDED TO CUSTOMER ARE (EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED) PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

The headings in this Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its construction or interpretation. The parties and their respective personnel are and shall be independent contractors, and neither party by virtue of this Agreement shall have any right, power or authority to act or create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other party. This Agreement may only be amended in writing by the mutual consent and signatures of both parties. No waiver of any provision hereof or of any right or remedy hereunder shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced. No delay in exercising, no course of dealing with respect to, or no partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any other right or remedy, or future exercise thereof. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid under any applicable law, it is to that extent to be deemed omitted, and the balance of the Agreement shall remain enforceable. There shall be no third party beneficiaries to this Agreement. All notices shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be delivered when received by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or when sent by facsimile or e-mail. All notices shall be directed to the parties at the respective addresses given above or to such other address as either party may, from time to time, designate by notice to the other party. In addition to any provisions that by their nature would survive, Sections 3 (Term; Termination), 6 (Compliance with Laws), 7 (Proprietary Rights), 8 (Representations and Warranties), 9 (Confidential Information), 11 (Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability), 12 (Indemnity), 13 (Non-Recruit) and 15 (General) shall survive termination, cancellation or expiration of one or more Service Contract(s) and/or this Agreement. This Agreement and all obligations of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to any conflict of laws rules or analyses. Any action or proceeding arising from or relating to this Agreement must be brought to the courts in Jerusalem, Israel, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any such court in any such action or proceeding and agrees to waive any defenses to venue and jurisdiction including forum non conveniens. The parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is specifically excluded from application to this Agreement. Each Service Contract entered into hereunder may be executed in two or more counterparts and transmitted to the other party by facsimile or email, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
