Harvest Services and Customer Care Agreement – 2023 FEB

Harvest Services and Customer Care Agreement

 

AgreementBy using any Harvest Food Solutions LLC (“Harvest”) installation, training, troubleshooting, Professional Services, Customer Care or other services (each, a “Harvest Service”), you (“Customer”) agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this agreement (the “Agreement”).  Customer may only use each Harvest Service in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and Customer’s use of any Harvest Service signifies Customer’s assent to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.  If Customer does not agree to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement, then Customer may not use any Harvest Service, and Customer must immediately inform Harvest of its decision prior to Customer’s first use of any Harvest Service.   If Customer desires to use any Harvest Service in connection with any other Harvest product, software or offering, Customer shall also be bound by the terms of any Harvest agreement or third-party agreement applicable to such product, software or offering,

 

Fees. Harvest will provide Customer with a written quote (“Quote”) that sets forth fees for each Harvest Service.  Harvest may elect, in its sole discretion, to provide a subsequent statement of work (“SOW”) with respect to any Harvest Service set forth in any Quote.  In the event of any conflict between any Quote and any SOW, the terms of the SOW shall govern and prevail.  Customer may request and Harvest may agree to provide additional services outside of any Quote or SOW, and any additional services will be detailed in an invoice, including detailed time accounting for such additional services. All billing will be done at current Harvest market rates.  Customer is responsible for timely payment of all fees (“Fees”) and costs and expenses (“Costs”) set forth in the Quote, or SOW (if applicable).  Any payment by Customer of any Fees or Costs made more than thirty (30) days following the date on which such payment is due shall accrue interest at a rate of 1.5% per month, or the maximum interest rate permitted under the law, whichever is less.   Harvest has the right to change any Fees or Costs on a prospective basis upon prior notice to Customer.

 

Services.

 

Quote; SOW. Harvest shall only be obligated to provide those Harvest Services that are set forth in the Quote, or any SOW issued by Harvest that arises from the Quote, on condition that Customer is in compliance with its obligations arising under this Agreement.  Harvest shall not be required to provide any Services unless specifically set forth in the Quote or SOW.  Any work completed outside of a quote, sow or work order based upon customer request will be considered additional services to be billed.

 

Consent for Remotely Based or Data-Connected Services. The software used with the Harvest Services may connect to Harvest and other service providers over a data connection (e.g. the internet or a wireless carrier). In some cases, Customer will not receive a separate notice when they connect.  By using the Harvest Services, Customer consents to the transmission of information as part of the Harvest Services.

 

Remote Access. To provide the Harvest Services, Harvest may be required to connect remotely to Customer’s device, cloud or system (collectively, “System”), which allows Harvest to access and control Customer’s System, view Customer’s System, and install or uninstall software and change settings on Customer’s System. Harvest may ask Customer to download or accept Harvest or third-party software licensing terms to establish the remote connection. Customer is responsible for any download charges that may apply and for paying the fees charged by Customer’s data connection provider(s) (e.g. via internet, or Wi-Fi or wireless carrier). Those fees are in addition to any fees Customer pays Harvest for the Harvest Services and Harvest will not reimburse Customer for them. Harvest may run diagnostic tools on Customer’s System to determine whether it meets the minimum requirements for Harvest to perform certain Harvest Services, such as upgrades. Customer must agree to this step for Harvest to provide those Harvest Services. If Harvest is unable to establish a remote access connection to Customer’s System or complete any of the above steps, Harvest may not be able to provide Harvest Services.

 

Cooperation and Customer Care ability. Harvest’s ability to deliver the Harvest Services depends upon Customer’s full and timely cooperation as well as the accuracy and completeness of any information Customer provides. Customer must have an eligible device and validly licensed Harvest software that meet(s) the applicable minimum requirements for Customer Care ability. Harvest reserves the right to cancel the Harvest Services and/or provide a refund due to problems with Customer’s System requirements or configuration, or for any other reason beyond Harvest’s control that makes providing the Harvest Services impossible or impractical.  Customer is solely responsible for the costs of applicable equipment and services necessary to meet the System requirements, by way of example only telecommunications and ordinary computing devices.

 

Data Backup. Customer understands that data can be inadvertently lost, corrupted or breached, and agrees that Customer is wholly responsible for the backup of any and all data, software, information or other files stored on Customer’s System, including all disks and drives, programs or other associated systems (collectively, “Customer’s Data”) before receiving the Harvest Services. Customer further understands and agrees that Harvest may need to transfer Customer’s Data, including any confidential, proprietary and personal information stored on Customer’s System, to third party service providers in order to perform the Harvest Services. Any transfer will be done in accordance with Harvest’s Privacy Policy. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Harvest is not responsible or liable for any disclosure, loss or corruption of Customer’s Data and System.

 

Software Terms. If the Harvest Service includes software installations, regardless of whether the software is provided by Harvest or a third-party software provider, Customer must have Customer’s software and software product keys available before installation. By providing Harvest with information, software or applications to install or transfer on Customer’s behalf, Customer represents that Customer has the right to authorize Harvest to take such action. Customer understands and acknowledges that Harvest may need to accept End-User License Agreements (“EULAs”) on Customer’s behalf for such software installations and Customer agrees to comply with any EULAs. If Customer requests installation of software from a third-party software provider in connection with the Harvest Services, Harvest will give Customer the opportunity to review the corresponding EULA; Customer assumes sole responsibility if Customer decides not to review it. Customer understands and agrees that Harvest does not control the terms of any third party EULAs and will not review such EULAs prior to accepting them on Customer’s behalf.

 

Hardware: Harvest does not provide Customer Care or related services for any hardware, unless otherwise expressly agreed by Harvest in writing in the applicable Quote or SOW, which will set forth the scope, duration and other details of the hardware Customer Care. The Customer Care Level Plans offered above will only provide Customer Care for Harvest ERP Solution, Harvest DSD Solution, Harvest BI Solution.  Unless otherwise agreed by Harvest in such Quote or SOW, if Customer desires to receive Customer Care services for any hardware that it purchases from or through Harvest, Customer must seek such Customer Care from the hardware manufacturer or distributor, but not Harvest.
