18. CUSTOM CAMERAS AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TERMS & CONDITIONS

Unless otherwise agreed to expressly in a writing as agreed to with written signatures on behalf of OVG and Customer which shall refer explicitly  to this Agreement and is in respect to customized cameras and/or professional services (hereinafter referred to each as “Custom Camera” and “Professional Services”) purchased hereunder, the following terms shall apply.

  • a) Acceptance.   By ordering or accepting professional services and/or a customized or custom camera from OVG, Customer agrees that Customer has read and understood this Agreement and this Section 18 (Custom Cameras and Professional Services Terms & Conditions).
  • b) Term.   The term of Professional Services shall be as set forth in a separate statement or scope of work (“SOW”) that is mutually agreed to by the parties and referred to within the paid invoice or paid quote.

  • d) Out of Scope Services.  OVG shall not be responsible for Service outside the scope of the Professional Services described on the paid invoice or paid quote.  Any additional services discussed or implied that are not defined explicitly and expressly by the paid quote or paid invoice shall be considered out of scope.
  • e) Changes to Services.  Changes to the scope of Services must be documented and agreed upon by the parties in a change order. If the changes cause an increase or decrease in any charges or cause a scheduling change from that originally agreed upon, an equitable adjustment in the charges or schedule will be agreed upon by the parties and included in the change order, signed by both parties.
  • f) Delays.  If any delays are caused by Customer, Customer will be responsible for any costs incurred by OVG in preparing for the performance of the Professional Services, and OVG will be entitled to recover these costs from Customer, including but not limited to travel related costs, additional hardware costs, development costs, software costs, and all other costs not stated here, etc.  Non-performance or delay by OVG of OVG obligations under this Agreement or any separate SOW or paid invoice or paid quote will be excused if and to the extent the non-performance or delay results directly from the failure by Customer to perform Customer responsibilities. If any failure or delay by Customer to perform any of Customer responsibilities prevents or delays our performance of OVG obligations under this Agreement, we will be entitled to a reasonable extension of time to the applicable performance dates to reflect the extent of the impact of the failure or delay by Customer.
  • g) Customer Responsibilities.  OVG’s successful performance of the Professional Services depends upon Customer:
    • i. Making available Customer relevant systems for assessment by OVG prior;
    • ii. Ensuring that prior to OVG assessment of relevant systems that Customer relevant systems meet any and all requirements as set forth in separate SOW and/or paid invoice and/or paid quote.  This shall include making any required modifications, upgrades or alterations to Customer hardware, facilities, systems and networks related to OVG performance of the Professional Services prior to Professional Service;
