Each Statement of Work (SOW) issued by Wadia is an offer to sell Services (herein defined) to purchaser ("Client") and includes and is governed by this Master Service Agreement. Wadia's SOW and this Master Service Agreement shall be deemed accepted by Client upon Wadia's receipt of a purchase order or a signed SOW. Acceptance of Wadia's SOW and this Master Service Agreement is expressly limited to the terms contained in Wadia's SOW and this Master Service Agreement. Wadia rejects any terms and conditions contained in Client's forms that are additional to or different from those set forth in Wadia's SOW or in this Master Service Agreement.
Client and Wadia are sometimes referred to individually in this Agreement as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties."

This Agreement is the Confidential Information of Wadia. Client Data is the Confidential Information of Client. All other Confidential Information must be clearly designated as "Confidential." Information provided orally will be considered confidential only if a written memorandum of such information clearly designated as marked "Confidential" is delivered to Recipient within thirty (30) days of the disclosure.

Wadia represents and warrants to Client that:
6.3.1 Industry Standards. The Services shall be performed in a good, workmanlike, professional and conscientious manner by experienced and qualified employees of Wadia according to the generally accepted standards of the industry to which the Services pertain. In the event the Services provided by Wadia fail to meet this standard, Wadia shall re-perform such Services at no additional charge to Client.
6.3.2 Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR HEREIN, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY OTHER WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. IN ADDITION, CLIENT UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE INTERNET IS NOT A SECURE MEDIUM, MAY BE INHERENTLY UNRELIABLE AND SUBJECT TO INTERRUPTION OR DISRUPTION AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO INADVERTENT OR DELIBERATE BREACHES OF YOUR SECURITY, FOR WHICH WADIA CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE.
Either Party may terminate this Agreement or any individual SOW in accordance with subsection 8.3.1 (in certain circumstances where an opportunity to cure must be provided) or subsection 8.3.2 (in certain circumstances where an opportunity to cure is not available):
8.3.1 Cure. If the other Party breaches any material provision of this Agreement or any SOW and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of such breach from the non-breaching Party ("Cure Period"). The notice from the non-breaching Party shall specify the basis on which the Agreement or SOW is being terminated, including a description of the breach and how the breach can be cured within the Cure Period. If the breaching Party fails to cure the breach within the Cure Period, then termination shall be effective on the thirty-first (31st) day following receipt of such notice by the breaching Party.
8.3.2 No Opportunity to Cure. If: (a) the other Party breaches any representation or warranty, whether in this Agreement or any Statement of Work; (b) any representation or warranty is inaccurate, incomplete, false or misleading in any material aspect; or (c) the breach is of a type or nature that is not capable of being cured within such time period (such as, by way of example and not limitation, an obligation relating to Confidential Information). The notice from the non-breaching Party shall specify the basis on which the Agreement or SOW is being terminated, including a description of any breach. Termination shall be effective immediately upon receipt of such notice by the breaching Party.
Upon termination of this Agreement or an individual SOW and payment by Client of the final invoice described in Section 8.5, Wadia will, to the extent applicable:
(a) Exercise reasonable efforts and cooperation to effect an orderly and efficient transition of Services to any successor provider identified by Client;
(b) Disclose to Client all relevant information regarding the equipment, software and third-party vendor services required to perform the Services; and
(c) Make reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of relevant licenses or agreement(s) for software or any third-party services utilized exclusively to provide the Services to Client.
Any additional transition services requested by Client shall be provided by Wadia on a time and material basis.
