TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR SERVICES

  1. Applicability.
    1. These terms and conditions for services (these “Terms”) are the only terms that govern the provision of services by GINGER TRAINING AND COACHING INC. (“Ginger”, “we”, or “us”) to the person or entity (“Client”) who orders Services by signing a Statement of Work.
    2. The accompanying Statement of Work (the “SOW”) and these Terms (collectively, this “Agreement”) comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the SOW, these Terms shall govern, unless the SOW expressly states that the terms and conditions of the SOW shall control.
    3. These Terms prevail over any of Client’s general terms and conditions regardless of whether or when Client has submitted its request for proposal, order, or such terms. Provision of services to Client does not constitute acceptance of any of Client’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms.
  2. Services. Ginger shall provide the services to Client as described in the Statement of Work (the “Services”) in accordance with these Terms. Ginger provides Services both to groups (i.e., to more than one individual) (“Group Services”) as well as to individuals on a one-on –one basis (“Individual Services”).
  3. Performance Dates. The performance date(s) on which the Services are to be performed (“Performance Date”) are specified in the SOW and have been agreed upon in advance by Ginger and Client. Client acknowledges and agrees that Ginger has committed to providing the Services on such Performance Date(s) and, accordingly Ginger may have declined or refused engagements with other clients on such date(s). Accordingly, Client agrees to pay all fees and expenses for the Services to be performed on such date(s) whether or not Client elects to have Ginger perform the Services on such date(s), subject to any Change Orders agreed to in accordance with Section 6 or rescheduling due a force majeure event in accordance with Section 17.
  4. Client’s Obligations. Client shall:
    1. cooperate with Ginger in all matters relating to the Services and provide such access to Client’s premises, and such office accommodation and other facilities as may reasonably be requested by Ginger, for the purposes of performing the Services;
    2. respond promptly to any Ginger request to provide direction, information, approvals, authorizations, or decisions that are reasonably necessary for Ginger to perform Services in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement;
    3. provide such Client materials or information as Ginger may reasonably request to carry out the Services in a timely manner and ensure that such Client materials or information are complete and accurate in all material respects; and
    4. obtain and maintain all necessary licenses and consents and comply with all applicable laws in relation to the Services before the date on which the Services are to start, including insurance coverage required pursuant to Section 15.
  5. Client’s Acts or Omissions. If Ginger’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement is prevented or delayed by any act or omission of Client or its agents, sub- contractors, consultants, or employees, Ginger shall not be deemed in breach of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise liable for any costs, charges, or losses sustained or incurred by Client, in each case, to the extent arising directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay.
  6. Change Orders and Cancellation.
    1. Change Orders. If Client wishes to change the scope or performance of the Services relating to (i) the Ginger coach or trainer to perform the Services, (ii) the location or format of performance of the Services; (iii) the number of Client participants entitled to participate in the Services; (iv) the Performance Date; or (v) the content and scope of the Services, then Client shall submit details of the requested change to Ginger in writing (A) at least two (2) weeks prior to the Performance Date with respect to Group Services or (B) at least one (1) week prior to the Performance Date with respect to any Individual Services. Ginger shall, within a reasonable time after such request, provide a written estimate to Client of:
      • any necessary variations to the fees and other charges for the Services arising from the change;
      • the likely effect of the change on the Services; and
      • any other impact the change might have on the performance of this Agreement.

        Promptly after receipt of the written estimate, the parties shall negotiate and agree in writing on the terms of such change (a “Change Order”). Neither party shall be bound by any Change Order unless mutually agreed upon in writing in accordance with Section 26. Ginger makes no representation or guarantee that any requested changes to the Services can be fully accommodated and shall only be obligated to perform the Services at set forth in the SOW or a validly executed Change Order. Ginger shall have no obligation to consider or accommodate any re- quested changes if such requests are not made at least (A) two (2) weeks prior to the Performance Date with respect to Group Services or (2) one (1) week prior to the Performance Date with respect to any Individual Services.
    2. Cancellation. If Client wishes to cancel any Services, Client shall promptly send written notice to Ginger (a “Cancellation Notice”), provided that any such cancellation of the Services shall be subject to the following fees:
      • If Ginger receives the Cancellation Notice at least (A) thirty one (31) days prior to the Performance Date with respect to any Group Services or (B) seven (7) days prior to the Performance Date with respect to any Individual Services, Client shall entitled to a refund of any pre-paid fees and shall not be obligated to pay any unpaid fees set forth in the SOW, provided that Client shall reimburse Ginger for any out of pocket expenses actually incurred by Ginger prior to receipt of the Cancellation Notice, including any non-refundable travel and lodging expenses, and the costs incurred with respect to any custom or other content for the Services;
