Terms & Conditions
The terms and conditions (the “T&Cs”) contained herein apply to products and services sold and provided by Summit Resources, LLC d/b/a Client Command (hereinafter “CLIENT COMMAND”) to its automotive dealership clients (hereinafter each a “DEALER”). The particular terms and conditions which apply to each product are indicated on the “Order Form” executed between DEALER and CLIENT COMMAND as well as in the header of each major section below. The Order Form and these T&Cs may together be referred to herein as the “Agreement”.
PREVIOUS MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT (MSA)
The following terms and conditions apply to ALL Client Command Products and Services without exception.
1. Term and Termination. Any product or service purchased has the Initial Term and Renewal Term as stated in the Order Form. It is possible for a product or service to only have an Initial Term, in which case the Order Form may not be terminated during the Term. The Order Form may only be terminated by either party at the end of the Initial or any Renewal Term by providing written notice to the other party. In general, notice must be received at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term. The sole exception to this notice requirement is that notice must be received at least twenty-one (21) days prior to the end of the then current term for Renewal Terms with a duration of one (1) month.
- a. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CLIENT COMMAND may terminate any Order Form immediately upon providing written notice to DEALER if:
- i. DEALER is thirty (30) days or more past due on any invoice issued by CLIENT COMMAND; or
- ii. DEALER has failed to respond to requests for approvals or input for more than ten (10) business days; or
- iii. In CLIENT COMMAND’S informed opinion, it would be a violation of any relevant law or regulation to continue providing products or services according to the terms of the Order Form.
2. Invoicing and Payment. DEALER agrees to compensate CLIENT COMMAND for the products and services outlined in the Order Form in the amount set forth in the Order Form. For any Initial or Renewal Term DEALER may elect to pay the total amount due for the Initial or Renewal Term upfront, not later than the first day of the term in question, or DEALER may elect to finance the total amount due for the Initial or Renewal Term over equal monthly payments (calculated by dividing the total amount due for the term in question over the number of months in that term) at zero percent (0.0%) interest. If DEALER elects to make monthly payments, DEALER shall pay to CLIENT COMMAND an amount equal to one (1) month’s payment concurrent with the execution of the Order Form. If DEALER fails to pay any invoice within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the invoice, then interest shall accrue at the rate of one- and one-half percent (1.5%) per month until paid in full. For financed payments, DEALER agrees to pay on or before the 15th day of each month.
- a. Bundled Pricing: Many CLIENT COMMAND products and services have overlapping components. As a result, CLIENT COMMAND may offer reduced pricing if DEALER purchases multiple products or the same product for multiple locations or brands. In the event that CLIENT COMMAND and DEALER agree to terminate any product or service, any other product or service that is not terminated may be subject to a price increase effective immediately to offset the costs of the overlapping components that no longer overlap.
- b. Temporary Service Pause: In the event that DEALER and CLIENT COMMAND agree to a temporary pause in marketing services, such temporary pause must be memorialized in writing and signed by both parties. DEALER shall pay to CLIENT COMMAND a Pause fee in the amount listed on CLIENT COMMAND’s then current price list for the maintenance of data access and other services that cannot be effectively paused.
3. Compliance with Law: DEALER and CLIENT COMMAND shall comply with all requirements under the Federal CAN- SPAM Act which is contained at 15 U.S.C. § 7701, et. seq. DEALER expressly warrants that all email addresses provided to CLIENT COMMAND have not opted out of receiving email from DEALER. CLIENT COMMAND shall indemnify DEALER only for claims against DEALER for violations of the Federal CAN-SPAM Act that do not involve the content of the advertisement text contained in any email sent by CLIENT COMMAND to the Target List. DEALER shall indemnify CLIENT COMMAND only for claims against CLIENT COMMAND for violations of the Federal CAN-SPAM Act involving the content of the advertisement text contained in any email sent by CLIENT COMMAND to the Target List.

- c. The Indemnified Party must: (i) promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of any third-party claim (provided that failure to promptly notify will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent it has been damaged by the failure); (ii) reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of the matter; (iii) give the Indemnifying Party primary control of the defense of the matter and negotiations for its settlement. The Indemnified Party may, at its expense, join in the defense with counsel of its choice.

5. Data Access: By signing an Order Form, DEALER is providing DEALER’s DMS provider with DEALER’s written consent to permit CLIENT COMMAND to access data on DEALER’s DMS system. Such access is for CLIENT COMMAND to provide the services contracted for, hereunder, and CLIENT COMMAND will not use DEALER’s data for any other purposes, other than for purposes of product improvement. NOTICE TO NORTH CAROLINA DEALERS: THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT RELATES TO THE TRANSFER AND ACCESSING OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND CONSUMER RELATED DATA.
6. Force Majeure: Neither party shall be held liable or responsible to the other party or be deemed to be in breach of the Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any obligation under the Agreement, excepting the obligation to pay, when such failure or delay is directly caused by events or acts beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, terrorism, war or acts of war, strikes or other labor disturbances, or government interference. Changes to supply chains or market conditions shall not be considered force majeure events under any circumstance, regardless of their cause. The non-performing party shall notify the other party in writing of a force majeure event within ten (10) days after the occurrence of such event. The parties shall then suspend performance under the terms of the Order Form for not longer than is absolutely necessary to remedy the inability to perform. If this suspension lasts for longer than one hundred (120) days, either party may terminate the Order Form by providing written notice to the other, upon which all sums invoiced for services actually rendered shall be immediately due. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any event, change in market conditions, or other change of circumstance which is INDIRECTLY caused by any event or act described above shall not be considered a force majeure event.

- b. In addition, each party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Order Form or other agreement between the parties or these T&Cs, or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof brought in the County of Cobb, Georgia or the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, and hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any suit, action or proceedings brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
- c.

8. Sales Tax: DEALER shall be responsible for any sales tax which may be owed on any amounts paid to CLIENT COMMAND under this Agreement.
9. Severability: In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in any Order Form or other agreement between the parties or these T&Cs shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions, and any Order Form or other agreement between the parties or these T&Cs shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained in it, provided such construction does not render payment or provision of all services impossible.
10. No Assignment or Resale: Neither Party may assign or transfer any part of any Order Form or other agreement between the parties and/or these T&Cs without the written consent of the other Party, except that any Order Form or other agreement between the parties and/or these T&Cs may be assigned without consent to a person or entity who acquires by sale, merger or otherwise, all, or substantially all, of the assigning Party’s assets, stock or business. Subject to the foregoing, any Order Form or other agreement between the parties and/or these T&Cs will bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 10 will be void and of no effect. DEALER may not resell any Service. Each Party is permitted, however, to use Subcontractors in connection with this Agreement, but is liable for their acts and omissions.
11. No Waiver: No waiver by CLIENT COMMAND of any breach of any provision of any Order Form or other agreement between the parties or these T&Cs shall constitute a waiver of any other breach or of such provision. Failure of CLIENT COMMAND to enforce at any time, or from time to time, any provision of any Order Form or other agreement between the parties or these T&Cs shall not be construed as a waiver thereof. The rights and remedies set forth in this Paragraph shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or under any Order Form or other agreement between the parties or these T&Cs.
12. Modification of Terms: CLIENT COMMAND MAY, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, MAKE CHANGES TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS HEREIN AT ANY TIME.

Failure to provide such approvals shall not relieve DEALER of its obligation to pay the total agreed amount for the Term. In the event that CLIENT COMMAND does not timely receive approval of content, marketing goals, or proofs when requested, CLIENT COMMAND may, in its sole discretion, either 1) rely on previous guidance from DEALER and continue to deliver marketing according to the terms of the Order Form, provided said guidance is less than thirty (30) days old or was received for a product which runs consistent minimally modified content, or 2) cease delivering marketing on behalf of DEALER until such time as the requested guidance is received. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, in the event CLIENT COMMAND chooses option 2) in the preceding sentence, the Term shall not be extended, and DEALER shall be responsible to pay the full agreed upon amount for the Term, regardless of whether or not CLIENT COMMAND provided services during the entire Term.
GUARANTEED PRODUCTS TERMS & CONDITIONS
The following terms and conditions are in addition to all other applicable terms and conditions and apply ONLY to Client Command Products and Services which are indicated on the Order Form to have a performance-based money back guarantee.
1. Conditions of Guarantee: For products and services which have a performance-based money back guarantee, DEALER shall be entitled to a refund only when circumstances arise as described in this section. DEALER may receive at most one (1) refund for each guarantee identified on the Order Form. Any refund due shall be calculated as described in this section.
- a. Refund Incentive Program: At the end of the Initial Term, DEALER will be entitled to a refund on a pro rata basis for each unit less than the number of units guaranteed, as stated on the order form sold, ordered, or leased by DEALER during the Initial Term and for a period of 180 days thereafter to members of the Target Market as documented in the Campaign Results if and only if the following conditions are met:
- i. DEALER sells or leases fewer units than the number guaranteed on the Order Form to members of the Target Market as documented in the Campaign Results, and
- ii. DEALER is paid in full under the terms of the Agreement, and
- iii. DEALER has provided data access and any requested approvals in a timely manner.
- b. Each guarantee stated on the Order Form will be measured separately, and any refund under this section will be based on which guarantee is not met, except that if a Conquest Customer guarantee is exceeded, the units constituting an overage may be applied to any Retained Customer guarantee (Retained Customer overages shall not be applied to Conquest Customer Guarantees). The per unit, pro-rata refund shall not exceed $500 per guaranteed unit. For example, if CLIENT COMMAND satisfies a stated guarantee for Conquest Customers, but not a separate stated guarantee for Retained Customers, DEALER would only be entitled to a refund on a pro-rata basis per unit price of the stated guarantee for Retained Customers. Example of how refund incentive program works: (i.e. If the stated guarantee for Conquest Customers is 80 units and the total amount due from DEALER for Conquest Customers is $35,200, and DEALER’s Campaign Results for Conquest Customers during the Initial Term results in 79 units sold or leased by DEALER and complies with all requirements in this section, then CLIENT COMMAND will refund to DEALER $440 which is 1/80 of the amount paid by DEALER.)
- c. No guarantee is given or implied unless explicitly stated on the Order Form.
2. Campaign Results Dispute Process: DEALER has twenty-one (21) days after receipt of Campaign Results during the Initial Term, and fourteen (14) days after receipt of Final Campaign Results to notify CLIENT COMMAND in writing of any dispute regarding Campaign Results. If DEALER does not timely dispute Campaign Results, then DEALER waives any right to dispute the Campaign Results in the future. Campaign Results shall be deemed received by the DEALER on the date the Campaign Results are sent by CLIENT COMMAND to DEALER. CLIENT COMMAND may send the Campaign Results to DEALER by e-mail, first class mail, commercial delivery service, facsimile, or any other standard means of communication between CLIENT COMMAND and DEALER. Undisputed and resolved Campaign Results are used to calculate units sold for the purpose of any guarantee. DEALER and CLIENT COMMAND agree that CLIENT COMMAND may reasonably rely on the data in DEALER’s DMS system to generate Campaign Results and identify sales, leases, and completed orders.
3. Renewals of Guaranteed Products: Any product which has a guarantee shall not automatically renew.
ALPHA AND BETA PRODUCTS TERMS & CONDITIONS
These terms and conditions are in addition to other applicable terms and conditions and apply ONLY to Client Command Products and Services designated as Alpha or Beta Trial Products on the Order Form.
1. Modification to Product. Any Alpha or Beta Trial Product or Service (each a “Trial Product”) is subject to changes to features or functions in CLIENT COMMAND’S sole discretion during the Term.
2. Participation in Trial Product. In consideration for promotional pricing, DEALER shall provide feedback and communication to assist CLIENT COMMAND in improving the Trial Product and DEALER understands that changes to the Trial Product may be significant, and that software bugs or fulfillment issues are likely. CLIENT COMMAND shall exercise commercially reasonable measures to remedy any bugs or issues in a timely fashion.
3. Additional Terms for Trial Product. A trial product may have additional terms and conditions which will be provided at the time of purchase.

6. Termination. In the event of a material breach of this Addendum or the Agreement by DEALER, CLIENT COMMAND may, in its sole discretion, terminate DEALER’S access to the Reynolds Interface until such time as the breach can be remedied or the parties can come to a modified agreement related to the use of CLIENT COMMAND’S products and services as related to the Reynolds Interface. In the event that either party believes the other party is non-compliant with its legal and regulatory obligations regarding privacy and data security as it relates to the Agreement or Addendum, and is therefore in breach of its obligations hereunder, the non-breaching party may send written notice to the non- compliant party informing them of the non-compliance. Upon receipt of such notice, the receiving party shall have not longer than thirty (30) days to become compliant and produce documentation demonstrating said compliance.

7. Relationship to Agreement. Nothing in this Addendum should be construed to modify anything in the existing Agreement between the parties, except to add the terms herein to the Agreement.

APPENDIX C
NCOALink® LIMITED SERVICE PROVIDER REQUIRED TEXT DOCUMENT
Client Command is a non-exclusive Broker of the USPS® (United States Postal Service®) to provide Limited Service NCOALink® processing.
It is important to note that not all Service Providers can offer the same level of service. Data quantity differs based on license level. Full Service Providers receive the full 48-month data set while Limited Service Providers receive an 18 month data set. All data fulfillments to Service Providers are provided weekly under direct license from the USPS.
The full NCOALink file is a consolidated file of move information that on average contains approximately 160 million permanent changes-of-address (COAs) filed with the United States Postal Service (USPS). These COAs are retained on the file for a four-year period from the move-effective date and the file is updated weekly.
Before being added to the NCOALink file, the Old address supplied by the Postal customer must be ZIP + 4 coded. The
New addresses must be ZIP + 4 coded and validated using the USPS’ proprietary database of actual delivery points. (NOTE: The delivery point database does not include NAMES or COA information.) Each delivery point confirmed New address is included on the NCOALink file. If unable to validate the New address, the NCOALink process will indicate that a move exists but will not provide the undeliverable New address.
New address information is provided only when a match to the input name and address is attained. The typical profile of the New address information contained on the NCOA file is as follows:
- 80.92% Forwardable moves containing delivery point confirmed New addresses – New address provided
- 1.18% Moves containing unconfirmed New addresses – New address not provided
- 13.80% Moved, left no address
- 3.92% PO Box Closed
- 0.18% Foreign moves
When possible, postal customers who move multiple times within the NCOALink time period are “linked” or “chained” to ensure that the latest address is furnished when an NCOALink match is attained. This is not always possible if subsequent COAs are not filed in exactly the same manner as a COA filed previously (e.g., name spelling differences or conflicting secondary information).
The provision of change of address information is controlled by strict name and address matching logic. NCOALink processing will only provide new address information when queried with a specific algorithm of the name and input address from a mailers address list which matches the information on the NCOALink Product. Data contained in and information returned by NCOALink is determined by the name and move type (Business, Individual, or Family) indicated on a Postal Customer’s Change of Address Form.
