  • If payment is not made in full within 30 days, interest will be added to and payable on all overdue amounts at 1.5% per month which is the equivalent of 18% per annum, or the maximum percentage allowed under applicable Montana laws, whichever is less. Any amount owed over 90 days due will be turned over to Collections.
  • Cancellation of the SMB Program can take place at any time by either party ending this Agreement. A 30 Day Written Notice is required for Cancellation by either Party.

‍

3. TERM. This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon 30 days' prior written notice to the other party.

‍

4. COMMUNICATION. The SMB Program communication will take place solely through emailed correspondence, or through an online ticketed software of Agency’s choice. Expected timeframe for emailed reply by Agency to all inquiries is a minimum of 2 business days. Communication will be comprised of strategic discussion, rather than non-standard-management questioning of Agency account choices. For example, acceptable SMB Program communication would be communication from Client to Agency about a change in account KPI targets, budget changes, product changes, and other similar strategic communication points. An example of unacceptable non-standard-management communication would be Client inquiring of the Agency why a specific bidding or campaign choice was made in the account. 

‍

5. WORK PRODUCT OWNERSHIP. Any copyrightable works, ideas, discoveries, inventions, patents, products, or other information (collectively the "Work Product") developed in whole or in part by Agency in connection with the Services will be the exclusive property of Client. Upon request, Agency will execute, within a reasonable period of time, all documents necessary to confirm or perfect the exclusive ownership of Client to the Work Product. 

‍

6. CONFIDENTIALITY. Agency, and its employees, agents, or representatives will not at any time or in any manner, either directly or indirectly, use for the personal benefit of Agency, or divulge, disclose, or communicate in any manner, any of Client Non-Public information. Agency and its employees, agents, and representatives will protect such information and treat it as strictly confidential. This provision will continue to be effective after the termination of this Agreement. Any written waiver by Client of these confidentiality obligations which allows Agency to disclose Client's confidential information to a third party will be limited to a single occurrence tied to the specific information disclosed to the specific third party, and the confidentiality clause will continue to be in effect for all other occurrences. 

 

7. DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material default under this Agreement: 

 

a. The failure to make a required payment when due. 

b. The insolvency or bankruptcy of either party. 

 

c. The subjection of any of either party's property to any levy, seizure, general assignment for the benefit of creditors, application or sale for or by any creditor or government agency. 

 

d. The failure to make available or deliver the Services in the time and manner provided for in this Agreement. 

 

8. REMEDIES. In addition to any and all other rights a party may have available according to law, if a party defaults by failing to substantially perform any provision, term or condition of this Agreement (including without limitation the failure to make a monetary payment when due), the other party may terminate the Agreement by providing written notice to the defaulting party. This notice shall describe with sufficient detail the nature of the default. The party receiving such notice shall have 14 days from the effective date of such notice to cure the default(s). Unless waived in writing by a party providing notice, the failure to cure the default(s) within such time period shall result in the automatic termination of this Agreement. 

   

‍

9. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties, and there are no other promises or conditions in any other agreement whether oral or written concerning the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement supersedes any prior written or oral agreements between the parties. 

 

10. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement will be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions will continue to be valid and enforceable. If a court finds that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting such provision it would become valid and enforceable, then such provision will be deemed to be written, construed, and enforced as so limited. 

 

11 AMENDMENT. ZATO reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change the Terms of this Agreement under which the SMB Program is offered. The most current version of the Terms will supersede all previous versions. ZATO encourages you to periodically review the Terms to stay informed of our updates. 

 

12. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of Yellowstone County in the State of Montana, United States of America. 

 

13. NOTICE. Any notice or communication required or permitted under this Agreement shall be sufficiently given, if delivered in person or by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address set forth in the opening paragraph or to the business email addresses used by either party, or to such other address as one party may have furnished to the other in writing. 

 

14. WAIVER OF AGREEMENTUAL RIGHT. The failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver or limitation of that party's right to subsequently enforce and compel strict compliance with every provision of this Agreement. 

 

15. ATTORNEY'S FEES TO PREVAILING PARTY. In any action arising hereunder or any separate action pertaining to the validity of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be awarded reasonable attorney's fees and costs, both in the trial court and on appeal. 

 

16. CONSTRUCTION AND INTERPRETATION. The rule requiring construction or interpretation against the drafter is waived. The document shall be deemed as if it were drafted by both parties in a mutual effort. 

 

17. ASSIGNMENT. Neither party may assign or transfer this Agreement without the prior written consent of the non-assigning party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
