Customer will not assign or transfer this Agreement, or transfer or subcontract any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Alexi.

APPENDIX A TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
- Introduction. This Appendix A sets out additional terms and conditions with respect to the Professional Services.
- Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix A have the meanings set forth elsewhere in Section 1 of the Terms of Service.
- Projects. Alexi and Customer may, from time to time, mutually agree to perform services and provide deliverables that are not included in the then-current scope of Professional Services provided under the Agreement (“Projects”). The Parties will identify each Project and will mutually agree to the terms and conditions relating to such Project in an Order Form.
Professional Services and Deliverables.
- Professional Services and Deliverables. Alexi will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver all Deliverables and to perform all Professional Services. All Professional Services will be performed remotely unless otherwise indicated in the Order Form as being an on-site provided service. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in the Order Form, Alexi will have no obligation to provide support and maintenance services for Deliverables.
- Resource Management. Alexi will, in its sole discretion, determine the number of personnel and the appropriate skill sets of such personnel necessary to perform the Professional Services. Alexi’s resources may include employees of Alexi or subcontractors.
- Suspension In addition to Alexi’s termination rights set out in the Agreement, upon any breach by Customer of an Order Form, Alexi will be entitled, in its discretion and upon prior written notice to Customer, to suspend the Professional Services under the applicable Order Form until such time as such breach or default is remedied by Customer.
- Milestones; Deliverables and Acceptance.
- Milestones. For any Deliverable, Service, or other performance obligation of Alexi described as a milestone in an applicable Order Form (each, a “Milestone”), Alexi will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete such Milestone on or before the deadline specified for such Milestone in the applicable Order Form. Any delay in receiving Customer Resources or Customer’s performance of Customer Dependencies will cause Alexi a delay in performing the Professional Services and will result in a delay in Alexi’s ability to meet the Milestones.
- Deliverables and Acceptance. Unless otherwise stated in an Order Form, within ten (10) business days of Alexi’s completion of any Milestone or Deliverable, Customer will provide Alexi with written notice of its acceptance or rejection of such Milestone or Deliverable. Customer may not reject any Milestone or Deliverable that substantially complies with the requirements set out in the applicable Order Form, and Customer’s failure to respond within such ten (10) day period will constitute Customer’s acceptance of the applicable Milestone or Deliverable. If Customer rejects a Milestone or Deliverable, Alexi will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the deficiencies set out in Customer’s notice of rejection for such Milestone or Deliverable. Once Alexi has notified Customer that it has completed such corrections, Customer will have seven (7) days from the date of such notice to re-test the Milestone or Deliverable. Customer’s failure to respond within such seven (7) day period will constitute Customer’s acceptance of the applicable Milestone or Deliverable. The process set out in this Section 6(b). will continue until Customer notifies Alexi of its acceptance of a Milestone or Deliverable, or until a Milestone or Deliverable is deemed accepted as set forth herein, but will in no event repeat more than three (3) times. If Customer has provided three rejection notices for the same Milestone or Deliverable, then the Parties will treat the matter as a dispute in good faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the rejection notices from the Customer for the same Milestone, Customer may terminate the Agreement and Order Form and Alexi will provide a refund of prepaid Fees for Professional Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this schedule and the Agreement, if Customer uses any Deliverable in a production or commercial environment (e.g., “go live” with the Deliverable), Customer will be deemed to have accepted such Deliverable as of the date such Deliverable was first used in such production or commercial environment.
- Customer Dependencies.
- Customer will cooperate with Alexi in the performance of the Professional Services and in the development of Deliverables, including by providing access (whether onsite or remotely, as specified in the applicable Order Form) to Customer’s personnel, systems, equipment, or communications facilities, as reasonably requested by Alexi from time to time and perform other applicable customer responsibilities set out below and in an Order Form (“Customer Dependencies”). If Customer has not performed its Customer Dependencies including but not limited to providing all necessary cooperation or information to Alexi, or Alexi is otherwise denied or delayed access or information by Customer, then Alexi will be excused, without liability, from performing any further Professional Services. Such failure to perform Professional Services resulting from Customer’s failures will not relieve Customer from its payment obligations to Alexi.
- Unless otherwise set out in the applicable Order Form, for each Order Form, Customer will:
- provide timely access to all information requested by Alexi for matters related to the Professional Services;
- provide administrator-level access to Alexi to enable service delivery, installation, and configuration;
- make available at no charge to Alexi all information and key Customer personnel required by Alexi in connection with the Professional Services (collectively, “Customer Resources”); and
- log all incidents with Alexi as soon as they become aware of the incident.
