1. SCOPE OF SERVICES. Company (Security Lock Technologies) agrees to assist Client with professional services, goods, and advice as set forth in one or more applicable statements of work, quotes, or service tickets (each, a “Statement of Work”) that may be executed from time-to-time under this Agreement (collectively, the “Services”). Additional Monitoring services offered and accepted by Client are to be supplied by Provider (PROVIDER). To be effective, each Statement of Work (if any) shall reference this Agreement and, when executed by both parties, shall automatically be deemed a part of, and governed by the terms of, this Agreement. Each Statement of Work is enforceable according to the terms and conditions contained therein, and in the event of a direct conflict between the language of this Agreement and any Statement of Work, the language of the Statement of Work shall control, but only with respect to that particular Statement of Work. All services provided are based on Company’s regular business hours.

Company will assume no responsibility and shall not be held liable for any issues arising from the interruption of these services. In addition, should a full disruption take place after 60 days, a $200 reinstatement fee will be applied to restore the MSP account to working order. If client already has existing MSP services with Company, new services will be added to existing monthly services agreement with the corresponding fees. Client is responsible for notifying Company of any changes in number of devices being covered in said MSP agreement to be eligible for support. Changes in monthly billing will be subject to fees from date of coverage.
b.) Unless otherwise stated in writing, each Statement of Work ordered by the Client will need a minimum deposit of one hundred percent (100%) of hardware plus fifty percent (50%) of labor plus any applicable shipping. If Statement of Work does not include any hardware, fifty percent (50%) of the total cost of the Statement of Work must be paid prior to services being performed. The outstanding amount, plus any other additional charges incurred during the project, are due on the day of project completion. If a service request is placed without a specific statement of work or quote, the invoice for the labor will outline payment terms.
