# Terms and Conditions

 

 For contracts from December 23, 2022 to present

1. **General. ** These terms and conditions constitute an integral part of the agreement between the parties and will govern the rights and responsibilities of the parties with respect to any remediation, repair, warranty, or maintenance services (the “Agreement”). In the event of any ambiguity or conflict between these terms and conditions and the proposal/quotation will be resolved by giving precedence to the fully executed proposal/quotation. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, and supersedes any and all statements, descriptions of services, course of dealing, or usage of trade previously existing between the parties with respect to such subject matter. Any acceptance of this Agreement is expressly limited to the terms of this Agreement. After the contract is formed, it may only be modified by written amendment, in a form prescribed by Seller, which has been signed by the parties’ authorized representatives. Neither Seller nor Buyer has entered into this Agreement in reliance upon any representation, warranty, condition, or undertaking of any other party which is not set out in this Agreement.

2. **Parties. **Unless** **otherwise indicated on this proposal/quotation, references to “Seller” mean Block Imaging Parts & Service, LLC., a Michigan Limited Liability Company. References to “Buyer” means the organization listed on the proposal/quotation.

3. **Pricing and Payment. ** The price and payment terms for the Services provided under this Agreement are identified in the proposal/quotation. If none are stated, Seller’s standard and then current rates for Time and Materials work (located online at https://www.blockimaging.com/terms/pstmsrs) will apply, and payments will be due as invoiced. Buyer is responsible for any taxes due related to the Services, as the pricing on the Agreement are exclusive of taxes, excise, fees, duties, licenses, or other related government charges. Buyer will pay these amounts or reimburse Seller. Buyer agrees to support any claim of exemption with a valid exemption certificate and will indemnify and hold Seller harmless for any taxes, costs, and penalties related to same. Late payments will be subject to interest in the amount of 1.5% per month (or the highest legal rate, whichever is less). Payments may be made via ACH, check, or wire transfer. There may be a processing fee for credit card payments. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, late payments will amount to an immediate default of this Agreement and will give rise to Seller’s right to suspend or terminate its performance.

4. **Term.** The Term of the Agreement is identified on the proposal/quotation counting from the date that service was initiated. “Term” also refers to a renewal term, as defined later in this Agreement. ** **

5. **Services. **In exchange for the prices and payments indicated on the proposal/quotation, and subject to any other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller will provide the services described on the proposal/quotation (the “Services”) on the equipment described in the proposal/quotation (the “Equipment”).

In that event, Seller will be subrogated to all Buyer’s rights of recovery therefore against any person or entity, and Buyer will execute and deliver to Seller** **such instruments, assignments, and papers as requested by Seller** **and do whatever is necessary to secure such rights or to effectuate Seller’s** **exercising of such rights. Buyer will do nothing to prejudice or waive Seller’s ** **subrogation rights. In addition, all monies recovered by Buyer** **for which Buyer has received benefits under this Agreement** **will belong to Seller and will be immediately paid to Seller by Buyer** **upon demand, up to the total amounts of the Parts/Services provided by Seller.

27. **Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Jurisdiction. **The Agreement** **will be construed and governed according to the laws of the State of Michigan. The provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, and any conflict-of-laws provisions that would require application of another choice of law, are excluded. In the event of any dispute arising from or relating to the Agreement, the parties will initially use their best efforts to amicably settle the dispute. To this effect, they will consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and attempt to reach a mutually satisfactory solution. If they do not reach such a solution, all disputes, claims, questions, or differences regarding the Agreement, or any other matter between the parties, will be finally resolved by binding arbitration, conducted in the English language using a single arbitrator. Unless otherwise agreed by Seller: (1) if the arbitration involves only United States parties, it will be conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in force as of the date of the request for arbitration, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause; (2) if the arbitration involves any parties not domiciled in the United States, it will be conducted under the International Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in force as of the date of the request for arbitration, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause; (3) the arbitration will be heard at Seller’s main offices in Holt, Michigan, USA; (4) the arbitrator will be selected from a list using the recommended selection method under the rules applicable to the arbitration proceeding; (5) the arbitrator's award will include costs, reasonable attorney’s fees and interest to the substantially prevailing party, but in no event will any party be awarded punitive or exemplary damages; and (6) the award of the arbitrator will be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

28. **Waiver**. No failure of either party to exercise any right or power given under this Agreement, or to insist upon strict compliance with any obligations specified in this Agreement, and no custom or practice at variance with the terms of this Agreement, absent such an express written waiver, will constitute a waiver of either parties right to demand exact compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

29. **Severability**.** **If any portion of this Agreement is held invalid, the parties agree that such invalidity will not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Agreement, and the parties further agree to substitute for the invalid provision a valid provision that most closely approximates the economic effect and intent of the invalid provision.

30. E**quipment Performance Guarantee (UPTIME). **If a percentage of uptime is guaranteed in the proposal/quotation, Seller provides the following “uptime” guarantee. Uptime for the Equipment is calculated for each calendar year using 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year; there are 8760 hours in the year. The system is “Down” when the Seller determines a failure prevents clinical use. Buyer should contact Seller immediately if the Equipment is Down. The hours Down starts when Buyer notifies Seller of the failure and ends when the Seller determines the Equipment is available for clinical use. Conditions under which the Equipment will not be considered Down include (but are not limited to) interruptions in clinical use due to:

- Scheduled Preventative Maintenance and related Services;

- Buyer’s** **failure to perform some responsibility(ies) under this Agreement;

- Circumstances where an Equipment failure is excluded from the Services;

- Equipment failures due to improper system administration, i.e., ignoring proper backup procedures;

- Any time when Seller’s access to the Equipment is restricted, whether physically, electronically or temporally (e.g., after hours repairs).

Uptime percentage is calculated as 8760 hours minus hours Down, divided by 8760. Whether Seller meets the Equipment Performance Guarantee will be determined over each year of the term. For each whole percentage point less the Uptime Percentage is determined to be than the percentage noted in the Service Description for each piece of equipment, Seller will extend the Agreement term by seven (7) days, for a maximum of 8 weeks (e.g. If the percentage promised on the first page was 98% and the Uptime Percentage was 96.5, that would lead to an extension of seven (7) days; 95.1% would lead to an extension of fourteen (14) days).

31. **Security Agreement **For the exchange of the valuable and mutual consideration contained in this Agreement**,** Buyer hereby grants Seller** **a** **security interest in the Equipment. This security interest willl remain in place until all payments required under this Agreement, any applicable interest, late fees, and any other amounts due to Seller** **arising out of the Agreement have been received by Seller** **and ** **Buyer has** **have** ** completely performed all** **its obligations under the Agreement. The collateral subject to this security agreement is the Equipment described in this Agreement and all present and hereafter acquired equipment and accounts of Buyer’s** **wherever located. Buyer authorizes Seller to file a financing statement describing the collateral in any relevant jurisdiction. The occurrence of any of the following is an event of default: (i) failure to pay any required payment, (ii) movement of the Equipment from the location designated on the Agreement, (iii) any disposition of the Equipment, (iv) any significant change in the Equipment’s condition (v) if Buyer becomes insolvent, files for reorganization or bankruptcy, makes an assignment for benefit of creditors, a receiver or trustee is appointed for any of Buyer’s assets or (vi) any other type of insolvency proceeding or formal or informal proceeding for the dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of Buyer’s affairs are commenced. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under this section, Seller will have all the rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the state of Michigan, including the right to collect reasonable attorney fees and any other costs incurred in exercising those rights. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under this section, without limiting Seller’s aforementioned rights, Buyer hereby grant Seller an irrevocable license to enter upon the Equipment’s location, without the order of any court, to disable and/or remove the Equipment (or a portion thereof) without any obligation to repair or restore the location. Upon completion of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement, the security interest will be released.

32. **Automatic Renewal. **Unless otherwise agreed, this Agreement** **will automatically renew at the end of the Agreement Term (initial and any renewal periods) for one year. All terms of the Agreement** **such as the payments, increments, and due dates will remain in place during the renewal period(s). By providing written notice to the other party at least sixty (60) days prior to expiration of the Term, either** **party ** **can opt out of the automatic renewal.

f. Any time when **OUR** access to the **COVERED** **EQUIPMENT** is restricted, whether physically, electronically or time-wise (e.g. after hours repairs).

3. Uptime percentage is calculated as 8760 hours minus hours **DOWN**, divided by 8760. Whether **WE** meet the Equipment Performance Guarantee will be determined over each year of the term. For each whole percentage point less the Uptime Percentage is determined to be than the percentage noted in the Service Description for each piece of equipment, **WE** will extend the **COVERAGE** **PERIOD** by seven (7) days, for a maximum of 8 weeks (e.g. If the percentage promised on the first page was 98% and the Uptime Percentage was 96.5, that would lead to an extension of seven (7) days; 95.1% would lead to an extension of fourteen (14) days).

1. If a percentage of uptime is guaranteed in the Service Description, **WE** provide the following “uptime” guarantee for the **COVERED** **EQUIPMENT** for each contract year that the **COVERED** **EQUIPMENT** is subject to this **SERVICE** **AGREEMENT**. Uptime is calculated using 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year; there are 8760 hours in the year. Uptime is defined as those hours when the **COVERED** **EQUIPMENT** is not **DOWN**. The system is determined to be **DOWN** when it is experiencing a **BREAKDOWN** which prevents clinical use. **YOU** should contract **US** immediately if this type of **BREAKDOWN** occurs.

2. The hours **DOWN** starts when **YOU** notify **US** of the **BREAKDOWN** and ends when any **REMEDIAL** **SERVICE** is completed and the **COVERED** **EQUIPMENT** is available for clinical use. There are conditions under which the **COVERED** **EQUIPMENT** shall not be considered **DOWN**. These conditions include (but are not limited to) interruptions in clinical use due to:

c. **YOUR** failure to perform **YOUR** Responsibilities In the Event of a Breakdown;

d. Circumstances where a **BREAKDOWN** is excluded from **COVERED** **SERVICES**;

e. Equipment **BREAKDOWNS** due to improper system administration, i.e. ignoring proper backup procedures;

f. Any time when **OUR** access to the **COVERED** **EQUIPMENT** is restricted, whether physically, electronically or time-wise (e.g. after hours repairs).

3. Uptime percentage is calculated as 8760 hours minus hours DOWN, divided by 8760. Whether **WE** meet the Equipment Performance Guarantee will be determined over each year of the term. For each whole percentage point less the Uptime Percentage is determined to be than the percentage noted in the Service Description for each piece of equipment, **WE** will extend the **COVERAGE** **PERIOD** by seven (7) days, for a maximum of 8 weeks (e.g. If the percentage promised on the first page was 98% and the Uptime Percentage was 96.5, that would lead to an extension of seven (7) days; 95.1% would lead to an extension of fourteen (14) days).

K. **Security Agreement**

For the exchange of the valuable and mutual consideration contained in this **SERVICE AGREEMENT,** **YOU** hereby grant **US **a security interest in the **COVERED EQUIPMENT**. This security interest shall remain in place until the payment of the **SERVICE AGREEMENT AMOUNT**, any applicable interest, late fees, and any other amounts due to **US **arising out of the **SERVICE AGREEMENT** have been received by **US **and** YOU **have completely performed all **YOUR ** obligations under the **Service Agreement**.

Upon the occurrence of an event of default under this section, **WE** shall have all the rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the state of Michigan, including the right to collect reasonable attorney fees and any other costs incurred in exercising those rights. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under this section, without limiting the **OUR** aforementioned rights, **YOU** hereby grant **US** an irrevocable license to enter upon the **COVERED EQUIPMENT**’s location, without the order of any court, to disable and/or remove the **COVERED EQUIPMENT** without any obligation to repair or restore the location. Upon completion of **YOUR** obligations under this Agreement, the security interest shall be released.

L. **Automatic Renewal**

Unless otherwise agreed, this **SERVICE AGREEMENT** will automatically renew at the end of the **COVERAGE PERIOD** (initial and any renewal periods) for one year (unless the initial **COVERAGE PERIOD** is less than one year, in which case the renewal will extend the **COVERAGE PERIOD** for that lesser length).

f. Any time when **OUR** access to the **COVERED** **EQUIPMENT** is restricted, whether physically, electronically or time-wise (e.g. after hours repairs).

3. Uptime percentage is calculated as 8760 hours minus hours DOWN, divided by 8760. Whether **WE** meet the Equipment Performance Guarantee will be determined over each year of the term. For each whole percentage point less the Uptime Percentage is determined to be than the percentage noted in the Service Description for each piece of equipment,**WE** will extend the **COVERAGE** **PERIOD** by seven (7) days, for a maximum of 8 weeks (e.g. If the percentage promised on the first page was 98% and the Uptime Percentage was 96.5, that would lead to an extension of seven (7) days; 95.1% would lead to an extension of fourteen (14) days).

1. If a percentage of uptime is guaranteed in the Service Description, **WE** provide the following “uptime” guarantee for the **COVERED** **EQUIPMENT** for each contract year that the **COVERED** **EQUIPMENT** is subject to this **SERVICE** **AGREEMENT**. Uptime is calculated using 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year; there are 8760 hours in the year. Uptime is defined as those hours when the **COVERED** **EQUIPMENT** is not **DOWN**. The system is determined to be **DOWN** when it is experiencing a **BREAKDOWN** which prevents clinical use. **YOU** should contract **US** immediately if this type of **BREAKDOWN** occurs.

2. The hours **DOWN** starts when **YOU** notify **US** of the **BREAKDOWN** and ends when any **REMEDIAL** **SERVICE** is completed and the **COVERED** **EQUIPMENT** is available for clinical use. There are conditions under which the **COVERED** **EQUIPMENT** shall not be considered **DOWN**. These conditions include (but are not limited to) interruptions in clinical use due to:

a. Scheduled Preventative Maintenance and related services;

b. **YOUR** failure to perform an On-Going Responsibility Under This Service AGREEMENT;

c. **YOUR** failure to perform **YOUR** Responsibilities In the Event of a Breakdown;

d. Circumstances where a **BREAKDOWN** is excluded from **COVERED** **SERVICES**;

e. Equipment **BREAKDOWNS** due to improper system administration, i.e. ignoring proper backup procedures;

f. Any time when **OUR** access to the **COVERED** **EQUIPMENT** is restricted, whether physically, electronically or time-wise (e.g. after hours repairs).

3. Uptime percentage is calculated as 8760 hours minus hours DOWN, divided by 8760. Whether **WE** meet the Equipment Performance Guarantee will be determined over each year of the term. For each whole percentage point less the Uptime Percentage is determined to be than the percentage noted in the Service Description for each piece of equipment,**WE** will extend the **COVERAGE** **PERIOD** by seven (7) days, for a maximum of 8 weeks (e.g. If the percentage promised on the first page was 98% and the Uptime Percentage was 96.5, that would lead to an extension of seven (7) days; 95.1% would lead to an extension of fourteen (14) days).

K. **Security Agreement**

For the exchange of the valuable and mutual consideration contained in this **SERVICE AGREEMENT,** **YOU** hereby grant **US **a security interest in the **COVERED EQUIPMENT**. This security interest shall remain in place until the payment of the **SERVICE AGREEMENT AMOUNT**, any applicable interest, late fees, and any other amounts due to **US ** arising out of the **SERVICE AGREEMENT** have been received by **US **and** YOU **have completely performed all **YOUR **obligations under the **Service Agreement**. The collateral subject to this security agreement is the **COVERED EQUIPMENT** described in this **SERVICE AGREEMENT** and all present and hereafter acquired equipment and accounts of **YOURS **wherever located. **YOU** authorize **US** to file a financing statement describing the collateral in any relevant jurisdiction. The occurrence of any of the following is an event of default: (i) failure to pay any required payment, (ii) movement of the **COVERED EQUIPMENT **from the location designated on the **SERVICE** **AGREEMENT**, (iii) any disposition of the **COVERED EQUIPMENT**, (iv) any significant change in the **COVERED EQUIPMENT**’s condition or (v) if **YOU** becomes insolvent, file for reorganization or bankruptcy, makes an assignment for benefit of creditors, if a receiver or trustee is appointed for any of **YOUR** assets or any other type of insolvency proceeding or formal or informal proceeding for the dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of **YOUR** affairs are commenced. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under this section, **WE** shall have all the rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the state of Michigan, including the right to collect reasonable attorney fees and any other costs incurred in exercising those rights. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under this section, without limiting the **OUR** aforementioned rights, **YOU** hereby grant **US** an irrevocable license to enter upon the **COVERED EQUIPMENT**’s location, without the order of any court, to disable and/or remove the **COVERED EQUIPMENT** without any obligation to repair or restore the location. Upon completion of **YOUR** obligations under this Agreement, the security interest shall be released.

L. **Automatic Renewal**

Unless otherwise agreed, this SERVICE AGREEMENT will automatically renew at the end of the initial COVERAGE PERIOD for one year (unless the initial COVERAGE PERIOD is less than one year, in which case the renewal will extend the COVERAGE PERIOD for that lesser length). The SERVICE AGREEMENT AMOUNT, increments, and due dates will remain during the renewal period.
