The Order Form and these terms and conditions collectively constitute the agreement for the purchase and sale of products and services to Client (the “Agreement”). The Parties hereby agree to the following”

All other services shall be for the initial Commitment Length and if not terminated, shall automatically renew for the Renewal Term as specified above.

  • a.      Term Reconciliation: The term of services shall automatically be extended to coincide with the longest term of any service added by Client. Specifically, any subsequent Order Form shall be incorporated into this Agreement unless specifically stated otherwise. Therefore, subsequent Order Forms are treated as addendums for additional products and services, not a replacement. For example, if Client purchases monthly marketing and wants to reduce the monthly budget, an addendum will be signed to extend the monthly payments to meet the overall contracted total billing amount.
  • b.      Termination of Services: The Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for the Term as outlined above. The Agreement may be terminated at the end of the existing Term by written notice to the other Party of at least thirty (30) days before the end of the Term.

  • c.      Termination Due To Creative Differences: Marketing is a creative process. By signing this Agreement, Client represents that it is familiar with PDM’s marketing strategies and trusts that it will use its best practices to develop products and services for the Client.

By way of example, if Client has three (3) months left on its Term with PDM for Monthly Marketing with a budget of $10,000 per month (total of $30,000 remaining to be paid under the Agreement), Client will immediately, upon termination of the Agreement, tender Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00) to PDM in liquidated damages.

  • a.       Client further expressly acknowledges that an initiation of credit card chargebacks and/or canceled checks, which may or may not create delinquent or past-due amounts, shall be a material breach which cannot be cured, wherein PDM may immediately terminate the Agreement without notice while reserving all legal rights to be made whole for liquidated damages amount outlined above; and Client further waives any and all rights to seek any damages for this material breach as well as future delivery of PDM’s Services under this Agreement. Further, any and all amounts charged-back, canceled or returned will result in Client thereafter being charged up to the maximum legal interest rate on any past due balance which is considered liquidated damages, and is not a penalty.
