Pronto and Provider are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Parties” and each as a “Party”. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Section 12 (Definitions) of this Agreement.
WHEREAS, Pronto is the developer and owner of a proprietary online platform (accessible via web and mobile application), sometimes referred to as the Pronto Platform (hereinafter, the Platform), which administers the solicitation and distribution of Customer Work Orders for (a) licensed contractor services (Licensed Services) for the installation, repair, maintenance and troubleshooting for various Asset(s); and (b) Pronto Work Orders for services that do not require contractor licensing (PAL Services),

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
- GRANT OF AUTHORIZATION. Subject to and conditioned upon Provider’s compliance with this Agreement and the Operative Agreements in effect from time to time, Pronto hereby authorizes Provider to access and use the Platform on a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, revocable, royalty-free basis during the Term of this Agreement. All rights not expressly granted to Provider hereunder are reserved by Pronto.
- REGISTRATION AND SERVICE STANDARDS. Provider shall at all times ensure that all Licensed Services and/or PAL Services performed pursuant to Work Orders adhere to the Registration and Service Standards set forth in EXHIBIT A. The registration or use of the Platform does not guarantee that Provider will qualify to receive any minimum number of Work Orders. This Agreement covers both Customer Work Orders for Licensed Services and Pronto Work Orders for Non-Licensed Services. Providers without applicable license to provide Licensed Services may accept Pronto Work Orders.
- PLATFORM SERVICES. In addition to, and in conjunction with, the authorized use granted Provider, Pronto shall provide the following support functions to facilitate Provider’s use of the Platform. Pronto is not acting as an agent of Customer or Provider in the performance of such services, but rather, only to facilitate the solicitation and distribution of Work Orders for Customers and Providers.

Pronto shall maintain on the Platform, the background information supplied by Provider during Registration, including: (i) Provider’s qualifications and areas of specialization, if any, (ii) Provider’s insurance coverage, as evidenced by submission of certificates or other evidence of insurance, and (iii) Provider’s state or local licensing credentials, if any, as evidenced by submission of copies of licenses or other appropriate evidence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, inclusion of Provider information and maintenance by Pronto of such information on the Platform shall not mean Pronto endorses, approves or recommends Provider to Customers in any way. Providers are not authorized by Pronto in making any such equivalent representations. Provider is solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all information supplied to Pronto as part of Provider’s Registration. Provider shall promptly advise Pronto of any corrective changes to be made to Provider’s registration or account information on the Platform, including due to any renewals, updates, reissuances, cancellations or other actions regarding Provider’s insurance and licensing credentials.
- Facilitating Special Terms. From time to time, Provider may request that Provider’s account reflect special, customized information not otherwise standardized on the Platform. Pronto may, but shall have no obligation to, work with Provider to achieve this customization; provided, however, that such customization may be subject to additional Administrative Fees (defined below) payable by Provider to Pronto.
- PRICING AND FEES.
- Service Pricing. To facilitate the uniform and expeditious flow of both Customer and Pronto Work Orders through the Platform, Work Orders shall incorporate the Pronto standardized schedule of Service Pricing for such Services as quoted on the Platform for particular Licensed Services and PAL Services to be performed. Subject to applicable Provider and the Customer mutual agreement, Pronto shall manage variations in the standardized schedule of Service Pricing due to Work Order changes or cancellations, Work Orders requested or Services furnished outside of regular business hours (including emergency Services), any priority level Services, special services not contemplated by the Service Pricing on the Platform, or the introduction of special terms (including as contemplated by Section 3.b, above). All Service Pricing for Customer Work Orders shall be paid by Customers and administered by Pronto (including forwarding of applicable amounts to Provider) through the Platform. All Pronto Work Orders shall be paid and administered by Pronto through the Platform. Service Pricing is subject to change from time to time in Pronto’s sole discretion.
- Administrative Fees. Certain actions related to the establishment, maintenance, and special terms (as defined in Section 3.b) of Provider’s account may be subject to certain administrative fees and charges (“Administrative Fees”) and are subject to change from time to time in Pronto’s sole discretion.

In consideration of the authorization granted to Provider and Provider’s other benefits under this Agreement (including the authorization to transact to perform Services through the Platform), Provider shall pay Pronto a Platform Fee for each Customer and/or Pronto Work Order completed by Provider and for which Pronto receives payment through the Platform equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate Service Pricing charged under such Work Orders (“Platform Fee”). Platform Fees shall be paid by way of deduction by Pronto from Service Pricing amounts processed through the Platform prior to payment to Provider. Platform Fees are subject to change from time to time in Pronto’s sole discretion.

(Arizona time), excluding statutory holidays, Customers, can also submit Work Orders electronically via email or telephonically to Pronto representatives who will place the Work Orders on the Platform on Customer’s behalf. Work orders submitted in this manner, outside of the Platform or outside of ordinary business hours are not guaranteed to be processed by Pronto and may be subject to additional fees and charges.
- Suspension of Platform Use Authorization and Platform Services. Pronto reserves the right to deny, suspend access to, and/or terminate any user’s authorization and ability to use the Platform without cause in its sole discretion. Additionally, if Provider fails to comply with any of its agreements or obligations under this Agreement, the 365 Pronto Platform Terms of Use, any Work Order, or any of the Operative Agreements, Pronto may suspend Providers authorization and access to the Platform until such failure has been cured to the reasonable satisfaction of Pronto, without such action being deemed a waiver of any other rights of Pronto under this Agreement, at law or in equity.
- Authorization for Dissemination of Information. Provider authorizes Pronto to disseminate to Pronto, its Affiliates, and Customers through the Platform, the Provider’s name, Office(s) Location, Pal Information, any contact information provided by Provider, DNA Requirements and other pertinent information regarding Provider and related requirements for Service(s).

- Pronto’s Obligations Limited. As the operator of the Platform, Pronto’s sole purpose is to provide and administer a virtual marketplace to connect Customers seeking Licensed Services, Non-Licensed Services, and suitably qualified Providers willing to perform them. If Provider accepts, or is assigned by Pronto, a Work Order through the Platform, then Provider and Customer, or Provider and Pronto (as the case may be), are entering into a contract directly with each other. In no event will Pronto be or become a party to any Work Order for Licensed Services, and Pronto will not otherwise be bound by any contractual relationship between Provider and any Customer, nor will Pronto be liable for any agreement, covenant, obligation, liability, act or omission of Provider or any Customer (including negligence or willful misconduct) in connection with such contractual relationship. Pronto’s operation of the Platform does not constitute it acting as an agent of Provider, any Customer, or any other person or entity, other than with respect to processing of payments of Service Pricing or other amounts through the Platform. Pronto has no control over and does not guarantee or warrant (i) the accuracy or completeness of any Customer Work Order, including as to the condition or location of any Asset(s) or the description of the Licensed Services sought, (ii) the quality, safety, suitability, or legality of the performance of any Licensed Services by Provider, or (iii) the performance of Provider or any Customer under any Work Order. It is Provider’s sole responsibility to ensure that any reference to Provider being “qualified,” “licensed,” “insured,” “certified,” “bonded”, or "verified” (or similar language) is subject to the truth and accuracy of information provided by Provider to Pronto in connection with Provider’s registration on the Platform. Except as expressly provided herein, Pronto is not responsible for verifying Customer or Provider information presented on the Platform.

This Agreement is incorporated by reference into and forms a part of the Work Order. Provider and Customer are sometimes referred to herein, each, as a “Party” or collectively as the “Parties.”
WHEREAS, Customer desires to engage Provider to perform the Services on the Asset(s) designated in the Work Order;
WHEREAS, Provider, by accepting the Work Order, warrants and represents that Provider (i) is fully capable of performing all of the Services specified under the Work Order (including any Addenda thereto) within the time period (if any) set forth in the Work Order, subject to Customer’s compliance with its obligations under the Work Order and this Agreement, and (ii) meets all required qualifications (if any) to perform the Services including, but not limited to, licensing and insurance requirements under the Work Order; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants hereinafter set forth, the Parties hereby covenant and agree as follows:
ARTICLE I: DEFINITIONS
Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the following meanings set forth in Section 35 Definitions of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 2: TERMS OF SERVICE
- Provider Performance: Provider agrees to perform the Services, and Customer agrees to accept such performance, in accordance with the provisions of the Work Order and this Agreement. Provider shall perform the Services specified in the Work Order, subject to the exclusions and limitations set forth in this Agreement. All work shall be performed on weekdays (excluding statutory holidays) between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM (local time at the Asset(s) Site) and any Services furnished outside of this range (including emergency Services) or any priority level Services, may be subject to additional Service Pricing, as described on the Platform.
- Service Pricing: Customer agrees to pay Pronto the Service Pricing, as defined herein, specified in the Work Order, on Provider’s behalf, in accordance with the 365 PRONTO CUSTOMER PLATFORM SERVICES AGREEMENT.
- Description of Requested Services: Customer acknowledges that the nature and timing of Services to be performed by Provider under the Work Order, and associated Service Pricing, are dependent on the accuracy and completeness of information provided by Customer to Pronto to generate the Work Order, including the following information: (i) Asset(s) type, make and model, (ii) the indicative problem, if known, (iii) Asset(s) Parts that may be required, (iv) location for delivery and delivery time for Asset(s) Parts, if ordered by Customer, (v) Asset(s) Site location, (v) Host information, (vi) Roof Top Work requirements or other Safety Hazards, if any, and (vii) scheduling considerations, including whether Services are requested on a standard, priority, customized or emergency basis. Following acceptance by Provider, the Work Order is subject to change or cancellation by Provider or Pronto if information provided by Customer to Pronto to generate the Work Order is determined to be materially inaccurate or incomplete.
- Changes to Services: Customer acknowledges that that once Provider’s performance of Services under the Work Order has commenced, and first-hand observation, diagnostics and/or testing of the Asset(s) has been performed by Provider, Provider may determine that actual Asset(s) conditions or issues (whether or not identified in the Work Order) require altered or additional Services and/or additional Asset(s) Parts not contemplated by the Work Order, which may increase the nature and amount of the Service Pricing under the Work Order, over and above the original Service Fee quoted for such Work Order. In such event, if Customer desires altered or additional Services to be performed by Provider, Customer shall contact Pronto to (i) close or cancel original Work Order and (ii) reissue a new Work Order. If no new Work Order is issued by Customer and accepted by Provider, Customer shall remain responsible for the payment obligations specified in original Work Order.
- Access to Asset(s) and Asset(s) Site: Customer herby grants Provider (including all applicable Provider Personnel) with full and unrestricted access to the Asset(s) and Asset(s) Site for Provider’s performance of the Services. Provider shall be responsible for scheduling Services at the Asset(s) Site with the Host. Customer shall provide Provider with all available Host contact information for Provider to schedule the Services. If, for any reason, Provider is at the Asset(s) Site specified in the Work Order at or within the time scheduled in the Work Order, but access to the Asset(s) Site is denied or otherwise restricted and such denial or restriction is not remedied within thirty (30) minutes after Provider’s arrival at the Asset(s) Site, Provider may reasonably request Pronto to cancel the Work Order, in which event Customer shall be responsible for the payment for the lesser of the (i) Service Pricing or (ii) minimum charge stated on Work Order (if any) without Provider being required to complete the Work Order. Following such cancellation, if Customer still wishes to have the Services performed, Customer shall be required to submit a new request for such Services through the Platform to generate a new Work Order, which shall be subject to applicable Service Pricing and fees.
- Asset(s) Parts: To the extent the Services include the installation or replacement of any Asset(s) Parts, and;
- the Services include the Provider’s procurement of the Asset(s) Parts; Provider agrees to procure such Asset(s) Parts identified in the Work Order prior to performing the Services; or
- the Services include Customer providing the Asset(s) Parts; Customer shall:
- provide the Asset(s) Parts to the Asset(s) Site under arrangements made by Customer pending installation or other use by Provider and communicate with Provider as to the timing of ordering and delivery of Asset(s) Parts to the Asset(s) Site, including advising Provider of any delay in scheduled delivery of which Customer becomes aware, so that the Services are scheduled to be performed as soon as practicable after delivery of the Asset(s) Parts to the Asset(s) Site, or
- ship the Asset(s) Parts directly to Provider and communicate with Provider as to the timing of ordering and delivery of Asset(s) Parts to the Provider, including advising Provider of any delay in scheduled delivery of which Customer becomes aware, so that the Services are scheduled to be performed as soon as practicable after delivery of the Asset(s) Parts to the Asset(s) Site.
- the Services do not include the Provider’s procurement of the Asset(s) Parts but include a Scope of Work requiring the Provider to (a) identify the Asset(s) Parts necessary to repair the Asset(s) and (b) estimate the repair, Provider shall attach to the Work Order an estimate, including the costs for procurement thereof, including delivery, taxes and reasonable mark-up of Asset(s) Parts. Upon the completion and verification of the Work Order, Customer, in its sole discretion, may choose to contact Pronto to initiate a new Work Order pursuant to the Providers estimate.
- Availability of AC Power: If the availability of electrical power is necessary to perform the Services, Customer shall indicate on the Work Order whether such required electrical power is available. If electrical power is required but not available when the Services are to be performed, Provider may delay performance of the Services until electrical power has been installed or restored. If some or all of the Services are required to be performed prior to electrical power being installed or restored, Customer’s request for such Services may be subject to a second Work Order (which shall be subject to separate Service Pricing) so that Provider can subsequently return to the Asset(s) Site once electrical power has been installed or restored to verify Provider’s workmanship and Asset(s) functionality under an electrical load.
- Safety Hazards (OSHA): Work Order requirements and Asset(s) Sites shall conform to all applicable OSHA requirements, which Customer is solely responsible for determining. Customer represents that the Work Order contains an accurate description of any and all Safety Hazards at or near the Asset(s) Site known to Customer that could impact the safety of Provider Personnel at the Asset(s) Site or otherwise affect Provider’s performance of the Services. If, in Provider’s reasonable discretion, any Safety Hazard at or near the Asset(s) Site (whether or not disclosed in the Work Order) presents an unreasonable risk to Provider Personnel, Provider may suspend or decline performance of all or any part of the Services under the Work Order until such Safety Hazard is removed or otherwise appropriately guarded against to Provider’s reasonable satisfaction. If Customer fails for any reason to remove or otherwise appropriately guard against such Safety Hazard within thirty (30) minutes after Provider’s arrival at the Asset(s) Site, Provider may reasonably request Pronto to cancel the Work Order, in which event Customer shall be responsible for the payment for the lesser of the (i) Service Pricing or (ii) minimum charge stated on Work Order (if any) without Provider being required to complete the Work Order. Following such cancellation, if Customer still wishes to have the Services performed, Customer shall be required to submit a new request for such Services through the Platform to generate a new Work Order, which shall be subject to applicable Service Pricing.
- Registered Provider Personnel Only: Provider agrees to assign performance of the Services only to Provider Personnel who are Registered, licensed, and insured according to the procedures and requirements set forth in the Work Order and on the Platform and meet the security/clearance requirements of the Asset(s) Site (to the extent such requirements are timely communicated by Customer to Provider). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Service Type requires Provider to perform non-electrical work, which requires a license in the state jurisdiction of the Asset(s) Site, Provider may assign performance of the Services only to Subcontractors who are licensed and insured according to the procedures and requirements set forth in the Work Order and on the Platform and meet the security/clearance requirements of the Asset(s) Site. Provider agrees to hold Pronto and Customer harmless and defend Pronto and Customer relating to any claims arising out of Subcontractor’s performance of the Services.
- Provider Insurance: With respect to each Work Order accepted hereunder by Provider, (i) Provider shall be responsible for providing its own insurance covering its business operations, Provider Personnel, and vehicles. Proof thereof is required by Pronto in the Registration Process. Provider agrees it is not covered under any insurance carried by Pronto or Customer including, but not limited to, auto, general liability, product liability, and/or workers compensation insurance. In the event Provider (or Provider Personnel or Subcontractor) is injured while performing Services, the Provider further acknowledges and agrees it is not covered under any insurance carried by Pronto or Customer, and Provider holds Pronto and Customer harmless from any insurance claims, including the cost of defending any such claims. Provider agrees to maintain the required insurance with a carrier rated A- or better by A. M. Best. Provider shall maintain at least the limits of coverage as set forth below.
- Commercial General Liability Insurance policy including premises, operations, products liability, contractual liability, and completed operations coverage with a minimum limit of $1,000,000 Each Occurrence Limit (Bodily Injury and Property Damage); insurance coverage to be primary and non-contributory;
- Business or Commercial Automobile Liability Insurance; $250,000 combined single limit per accident; and
- Workers' Compensation and Employers' Liability Insurance; $100,000 Each Accident; $100,000 Each Employee for Injury by Disease; $500,000 Aggregate for Injury by Disease and any other employee related insurance statutorily required in the state jurisdiction of the Asset(s) Site and/or where the Provider performs Services. In the event the Provider is legally exempt from carrying Workers Compensation Insurance, and elects such status, Provider shall submit a statement declaring and affirming such exempt-status on the Platform. At Customer’s sole discretion, it may disallow Workers Compensation exempt-status Providers from receiving Work Orders for any or all Customer locations.
- Pre-Existing Building Code or Other Violations: If any pre-existing building code or other legal violation is present on the Asset(s) or at the Asset(s) Site that would prevent Provider from completing the Services in accordance with applicable laws and regulations or that would otherwise present a Safety Hazard, Customer agrees to remedy such violation before Provider is obligated to perform the Services. If Customer fails for any reason to remedy such violation within thirty (30) minutes after Provider’s arrival at the Asset(s) Site, Provider may reasonably request Pronto to cancel the Work Order, in which event Customer shall be responsible for the payment for the lesser of the (i) Service Pricing or (ii) minimum charge stated on Work Order (if any) without Provider being required to complete the Work Order. Following such cancellation, if Customer still wishes to have the Services performed, Customer shall be required to submit a new request for such Services through the Platform to generate a new Work Order, which shall be subject to applicable Service Pricing.
- Utility or Governmental Inspection: If, in connection with the performance of the Services, an Asset(s) inspection and approval by a utility or government agency is required for activation or reactivation of such Asset(s), Provider shall not be required to complete and activate or reactivate such Asset(s) until such inspection is completed and approval obtained (with a copy of any such written inspection report and/or approval delivered to Provider). If a second Asset(s) Site visit by Provider is required after any such inspection or approval, such visit may be subject to a second Work Order (which shall be subject to separate Service Pricing), unless taken into account in the original Work Order.
- Roof Top Work Special Conditions: If the Work Order requires Provider to perform Roof Top Work as part of the Services, then the following special terms and conditions will apply:
- Provider represents, warrants and covenants to Customer that Provider meets all of the following requirements; (i) Provider is knowledgeable with regard to all OSHA requirements for its Provider Personnel to provide and perform Services on residential and commercial roof tops; (ii) all Provider Personnel to be dispatched to the Asset(s) Site have the requisite skills, knowledge and expertise to safely perform Roof Top Work, including being knowledgeable of and trained in OSHA roof top work requirements; and (iii) Provider Personnel shall have the necessary equipment and safety devices, in good working condition in order to safely and properly perform the Roof Top Work; and (v) Provider shall hold Customer and any Host harmless and agrees to defend and indemnify Customer and any Host against any and all claims for death or injury of any Provider Personnel resulting from the performance of the Roof Top Work, other than death or injury resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Customer or any Host (including any representative thereof) or Customer’s breach of this Agreement.
- Customer or any Host may not have the ability to access and pre-inspect roof top conditions, and do not make any representation or warranty, express or implied, regarding the quality or safety of the roof top before issuing the Work Order. Therefore, Provider agrees to have its Provider Personnel access and inspect the safety of the roof top work site before commencing performance of the Services. Following such inspection, Provider may suspend commencement of performance of the Services if Provider Personnel become aware of any dangerous condition on the roof top that presents an unreasonable risk of death or injury to Provider Personnel. If Customer or the Host fails for any reason to remediate such dangerous condition within thirty (30) minutes after Provider’s arrival at the Asset(s) Site, Provider may reasonably request Pronto to cancel the Work Order, in which event Customer shall be responsible for the payment for the lesser of the (i) Service Pricing or (ii) minimum charge stated on Work Order (if any) without Provider being required to complete the Work Order. Following such cancellation, if Customer still wishes to have the Services performed, Customer shall be required to submit a new request for such Services through the Platform to generate a new Work Order, which shall be subject to applicable Service Pricing.
- In the performance of Roof Top Work, it may be necessary for Provider Personnel to walk or place equipment on the roof surface, which, despite reasonable care taken by Provider Personnel, may cause damage to or dislodgement of portions of the roof surface or may cause the underlying roof structure to sink or collapse. Customer agrees that even if reasonable care is taken by Provider Personnel, such damage, dislodgement, sinking or collapse can occur without fault of Provider Personnel, including due to the age, wear and tear and construction of the roof top and roof surface or structure materials. In the event of any such occurrence, absent the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Provider Personnel, Customer shall be solely responsible for any required repair or replacement at Customer’s sole expense, and without any claim against Provider (which Customer hereby waives).
- Customer acknowledges that Provider may be required, either directly or through third party contractors, to use special lifts, cranes or other equipment at Customer’s or the Host’s property to deliver Asset(s) Parts or other supplies to Customer’s or the Host’s roof top and agrees to provide Provider or its contractors with sufficient access to Customer’s or the Host’s property for the same.
- If the Work Order requires the installation or reinstallation of any roof top solar framing system or other equipment that requires drilling into the roof top surface, Provider agrees to make such installation or reinstallation in a leak-free manner using methods and requirements of local building codes and recommended procedures of the roofing industry, but subject to the limitations referred to in paragraph c above.
- Customer acknowledges that Provider is not responsible for pre-existing roof top conditions and reasonable wear and tear on the roof top caused by performance of the Services. Provider recommends that Customer or the Host replace a roof that has less than ten (10) years of expected usable lifetime prior to commencement of Services under the Work Order.
- Completed Service Report: Within one (1) business day after completion of the Services under the Work Order, Provider shall promptly complete and transmit all required data, photographs and documentation to the Platform to evidence such completion (the “Completed Service Report”), which shall be subject to verification by Pronto. If Completed Service Report is not completed with one (1) business day, Provider and Customer authorizes Pronto, at Pronto’s sole discretion, to file a partially completed Work Order and adjudicate the amount of the Service Pricing payable to Provider.
- Provider Warranty:
- Subject to the provisions of this Section 15, Provider warrants to Customer that Provider shall perform the Services in accordance with the Work Order in a good, professional and workmanlike manner and in accordance with applicable building codes and other applicable laws and regulations (the “Warranty”). Provider agrees, at its sole cost, to promptly remedy any workmanship issue under the Warranty relating to completed Services upon Customer delivering a written request to Provider within the Warranty Period. The Warranty does not extend to any losses or damages due to defects in the design or manufacture of the Asset(s) or any Asset(s) Part, misuse or unintended or unforeseeable use of the Asset(s), abuse, neglect or negligence (in each case other than that of Provider or any Provider Personnel), unauthorized modification or alteration of the Asset(s) made by any Person other than Provider or Provider Personnel, normal wear and tear, Asset(s) use by Customer or the Host beyond rated capacity, unsuitable power sources, environmental conditions, improper installation, repair, handling, maintenance or application or any other cause not the fault of Provider or Provider Personnel. To the extent Customer, the Host or any of their respective agents has supplied specifications, information, representation of operating conditions or other data to Pronto or Provider as part of or in connection with the Work Order, and if actual operating conditions or other conditions differ from those supplied or represented by Customer or any such agent, the portion of the Warrantied Services that is affected by such conditions shall be null and void.
- Provider shall not be liable for a breach of the Warranty unless: (i) Customer gives written notice of the claim thereunder, reasonably described, to Provider within the Warranty Period; (ii) Provider is given a reasonable opportunity after receiving such notice to examine the Asset(s); and (iii) Provider reasonably and in good faith verifies the validity of Customer’s claim under the Warranty.

ARTICLE 3: MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
- Customer Termination of Work Order.
- Customer may contact Pronto to terminate a Work Order:
- two (2) business days before the scheduled time for the Services; or
- due to Provider’s failure to perform the Services under the Work Order in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof, where such failure is not cured within ten (10) days after written notice to Provider by Customer.

If Customer terminates the Work Order within the two (2) business day window before the scheduled time for the Services, in whole or in part, Customer shall remain liable to Provider for the payment for the lesser of the (i) Service Pricing or (ii) minimum charge stated on Work Order (if any) without Provider being required to complete the Work Order. Following such cancellation, if Customer still wishes to have the Services performed, Customer shall be required to submit a new request for such Services through the Platform to generate a new Work Order, which shall be subject to applicable Service Pricing.
- Customer may contact Pronto to terminate a Work Order:
- Provider Termination or Suspension of Services. Provider may delay commencement or, once commenced, suspend performance of the Services under the Work Order if Customer or the Host unreasonably interferes with, or cause delays in, Provider’s performance of the Services (including if Customer or the Host fails to furnish Provider with access to the Asset(s) Site or withholds information necessary for the performance of the Services) or otherwise fails to comply with the terms of the Work Order or this Agreement. Concurrently with any delay or suspension in the performance of the Services, Provider shall give Customer notice of the issues giving rise to such delay or suspension. If Customer or the Host fails to correct such issues to Provider’s reasonable satisfaction within one (1) business days after delivery to Customer of such notice, Provider may reasonably request Pronto to cancel the Work Order, in which event Customer shall be responsible for the payment for the lesser of the (i) Service Pricing or (ii) minimum charge stated on Work Order (if any) without Provider being required to complete the Work Order.
- Force Majeure: Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, neither Customer nor Provider shall be liable to the other for any delay or failure in performing its obligations, other than payment obligations, under the Work Order or this Agreement to the extent that such delay or failure is caused by an event or circumstance that is beyond the reasonable control of such Party, without such Party’s fault or negligence, and which by its nature could not have been reasonably foreseen by such Party or, if it could have been foreseen, was unavoidable (a “Force Majeure Event”). Force Majeure Events include acts of God or the public enemy, government restrictions, inclement weather, floods, fire, earthquakes, explosion, epidemic, war, invasion, hostilities, terrorist acts, riots, strike, embargoes, industrial disturbances, delays in delivery or receipt of Asset(s) Parts, delays caused by Customer’s or the Host’s design professionals, contractors, agents or other service providers, vandalism and Platform or internet service interruptions or downtime.
