The Master Order Form, these Terms and Conditions, Master Agreement and all other documents, policies, and attachments referenced in the Master Order Form, or attached hereto comprise the agreement between Provider and Customer (collectively, the “Agreement”). The following terms and conditions apply to the design, construction, provision, and use of Provider’s products and "Services" referenced in the Master Order Form.
- Contract Period:These Terms and Conditions are effective when Customer signs the Master Order Form and the Master Order Form is accepted by Provider ("Effective Date"). The Contract Period commences on the Effective Date and, unless terminated in accordance with the provisions herein, will continue in effect for the Term of Contract stated on the Master Order Form. Following the expiration of the Term of Contract, Customer’s contract will automatically renew on a month-to-month term at Provider’s then prevailing month-to-month rates, which may be up to 125% of Customer’s contracted fees for Services unless Provider receives written notice of cancellation from Customer at least 30 days in advance of the expiration of the Contract Period or a new contract for Services is signed with Provider.
- Billing and Payment:Customer shall pay Provider all charges due under this Agreement, without deduction or setoff. All payments shall be mailed to the address stated on the bill.

Provider shall be responsible for all taxes based on Provider net income or on Provider property ownership.

Customer will make certain that any taxes withheld are minimized to the extent possible under applicable law.
