Terms and Conditions | Simply Automate

Last updated: May 01, 2023

These terms and conditions (the “Terms”) are the Terms upon which Simply Automate (“Vendor”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is prepared to supply certain IT solutions as described in the Quote (Attachment 1) (the “Software Solutions”) as approved by the Customer, and certain hardware as described in List of Hardware (Attachment 2) (the “Hardware”) as approved by the Customer.

The “Customer” is the party listed in the Sales & Services Agreement.

These Terms govern the supply of Software Solutions and Hardware by Vendor to the Customer, and any Ancillary Services which may be listed in the Quote (Attachment 1). Please read all of these Terms. By ordering and using any Software Solutions, Hardware, or Ancillary Services, the Customer accepts these Terms without change. Some Terms may not apply to you; for example, if you did not order any Hardware, then Attachment 2 will be blank and the Terms applicable to Hardware will not apply. If Customer does not accept these Terms, the Customer is not authorized to acquire Hardware or use Software Solutions or Ancillary Services from us.

SALES TERMS

Supply of Hardware and Software Solutions. We agree to supply the Hardware and to provide the Software Solutions to the Customer. The accepted Quote (including any functionality, specifications, description, pricing and delivery times) is described in Attachment 1, and the accepted list of Hardware is described in Attachment 2. The Customer shall ensure that the terms of Attachment 2 and Attachment 2 are complete and accurate.
Other Terms Excluded. Other than as described in Attachment 1 and Attachment 2, these Terms specifically exclude any other terms and conditions (including any standard-form purchase order, any other quote, proposal, bid, confirmation of order, email, specification or other similar document, terms or conditions which the Customer purports to apply). All other descriptions, samples, drawings, descriptive matter, website content, brochures, manufacturer’s materials, catalogues and advertising are for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Hardware and Software Solutions, and do not modify these Terms. The specifications in the accepted Quote (Attachment 1) and List of Hardware (Attachment 2) shall apply to the Hardware and Software Solutions supplied to the Customer.

CHANGE ORDERS

Change Orders. Each party may at any time propose changes to the Software Solutions in the form of a draft change order, a revised quote, or an adjusted monthly invoice (“Change Order”). For example, if the Customer requests an increase or decrease in the number of authorized users or upgraded license, a revised monthly invoice will serve as the Change Order. Some changes requested by Customer may require additional work to evaluate the scope, or to re-design a solution, and this evaluation or design work may be charged to Customer at then-current rates. As mutually agreed, the changes will be documented in a Change Order, signed by each party, along with any equitable adjustments in the price or delivery schedule. We are not obligated to proceed with changes until both parties agree in writing. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, pricing for additional work arising from changes in laws, rules and regulations shall be at then-current time and material rates. Once approved in writing, a Change Order will be deemed to be part of this Agreement.

HARDWARE LEASE

If you choose a Hardware lease option, the following terms apply:

Lease Terms. Customer hereby agrees to lease from Vendor and Vendor hereby agrees to lease the Hardware to Customer. Hardware which is subject to lease terms is also referred to as “Leased Hardware”. The Quote (Attachment 1) will specify all amounts owing for the lease of Leased Hardware (the “Lease Payments”), and a lease term (the "Lease Term"). The Lease Term is the period during which Leased Hardware is leased to Customer, commencing on the date at the top of Page 1 of the Agreement, or the date delivered by Vendor, or as otherwise specified in the Quote (Attachment 1) and terminating upon the lease expiry date specified in the Quote. These Terms shall continue in full force and effect until all amounts owing to Vendor hereunder have been paid in full.
Delivery of Leased Hardware. We will deliver the Leased Hardware at the address and on the terms listed in the Quote (Attachment 1). If the Leased Hardware delivered does not correspond in quantity, type or price to those itemized in the corresponding Quote (Attachment 1) or List of Hardware (Attachment 2), Customer will notify us within 5 days after receipt, after which period the Leased Hardware is deemed accepted.
Definition of Replacement Amount. The term "Replacement Amount" means the full replacement cost of the Leased Hardware, as determined in writing by Vendor acting reasonably.
Return of Hardware: If specified in the Quote (Attachment 1), the Customer may be obliged to return certain Leased Hardware to the Vendor at the end of the Lease Term. In that case, Leased Hardware must be returned in good condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and accepted by Vendor. Customer shall continue to pay all Lease Payments and to comply with all other payment and other obligations under the Agreement until return. If, at the Lease Term expiry date, the Customer has not returned the Leased Hardware, Vendor may charge, and Customer shall pay Vendor upon demand, the Replacement Amount.

If, upon return of Leased Hardware, Vendor determines that repairs are required, other than repairs caused by normal wear and tear, Vendor shall notify Customer of such repairs and the estimated cost thereof, and Customer shall be responsible to fully reimburse Vendor for the cost of all such repairs.
Lease-to-Own. If specified in the Quote (Attachment 1), Hardware may be supplied on a lease-to-own or rent-to-own basis. In that case, the Customer shall have an option to purchase Leased Hardware, and upon payment of all amounts due by Customer to Vendor in respect of such Leased Hardware by Customer to Vendor: (i) the lease for such Leased Hardware shall cease to accrue and the Lease Term for such Leased Hardware shall terminate, and (ii) all right, title and interest to such Leased Hardware will be deemed to automatically transferred to Customer, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. In this case, the Customer has no obligation to return, and the Vendor has no obligation to accept the return, of this Leased Hardware.
Remote Hardware. If specified in the Quote (Attachment 1), Hardware may be supplied on a remote or virtual basis, where the Leased Hardware is not located on Customer premises, and is not in the physical control or possession of the Customer, in which case the Customer is responsible to make all Lease Payments during the Lease Term, but all the terms applicable to delivery and return shall not apply to any Hardware provided on a remote or virtual basis.
Assumption of Risk: Except as provided otherwise in this Agreement, Customer assumes all risks and liability for loss or damage to the Leased Hardware, and for injuries (including death) and property damage arising from the use and operation, possession or use of the Leased Hardware or from any cause whatever arising during any Lease Term and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, liability or loss arising from fire, theft, loss, seizure, confiscation or expropriation. Customer will obtain and maintain suitable insurance coverage for such risks.
Event of Loss: In the event any Leased Hardware is lost, stolen, seized, sold, damaged or destroyed or any of the fittings, components, appliances or attachments to the Leased Hardware are worn out, lost, stolen, damaged (ordinary wear and tear excepted) or destroyed (a "Damage or Loss Occurrence"), Customer shall, within four (4) days notify Vendor with respect to such Damage or Loss Occurrence. In the event that the Damage or Loss Occurrence has rendered the Leased Hardware beyond economic repair, the Customer shall pay to the Vendor, within thirty (30) days of such determination, the Replacement Amount. Upon payment of the Replacement Amount and all other amounts due by Customer to Vendor in respect of any Leased Hardware by Customer to Vendor: (i) the lease for such Leased Hardware shall cease to accrue and the Lease Term for such Leased Hardware shall terminate and (ii) Vendor shall transfer all right, title and interest to such Leased Hardware to Customer, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.
Ownership: Vendor shall retain full title to, ownership of, and all property and rights to any Leased Hardware. No right, title or interest in or to Leased Hardware shall pass to Customer other than, conditional upon Customer's compliance with and fulfilment of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the right to quietly possess and use the Leased Hardware during the Lease Term. Customer shall not sell, offer for sale, assign, mortgage, pledge, encumber, sublet, part with possession of, or otherwise deal with the Leased Hardware or any part thereof, or with the benefit of this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Vendor. Customer shall indemnify Vendor from and against all losses, costs, demands and expenses (including legal fees, disbursements and other costs) incurred by Vendor by reason of or in respect of the removal or attempted enforcement of any liens, charges, demands or encumbrances or any attempted or actual distress, execution or seizure of Leased Hardware. All Leased Hardware shall be identified as the property of Vendor through such plates or other marks as Vendor may see fit, and Customer shall permit any such plates or marks to be changed or removed.
No Conditional Sale; Personal Property. It is the intention of the parties to hereby create a lease of the Leased Hardware, and not a conditional sale. The Customer grants to Vendor a security interest in the Leased Hardware to secure the obligations under this Agreement. It is further the intention of the parties that Leased Hardware shall at all times be and remain moveable personal property, notwithstanding any purpose for which Leased Hardware may be used or that it may become affixed, attached or joined to any land or immovable property or any structure thereon. To provide solely for the eventuality that a court might hold the Hardware or any of it to be a fixture, the parties state for the purpose of complying with the legal requirements that collateral is or includes fixtures.
Filings: Vendor may file or record this Agreement, a financing or financing change statement, or any other notice in respect thereof or any appropriate document with appropriate offices of public record in any jurisdiction where the Leased Hardware may at any time be located or where Customer may be resident or carry on business. Customer agrees to do all things and execute all documents that, in Vendor's reasonable opinion, are necessary or desirable to protect Vendor's security interest in the equipment, including the execution of financing or financing change statements. If Customer, upon request by Vendor, fails to sign any such financing or financing change statement, notice or other document, Vendor may execute the same in the name of and on behalf of Customer. Customer hereby irrevocably appoints Vendor as its attorney for such purposes. Customer hereby waives its right to receive a copy of any financing statement or financing change statement registered by Vendor in connection with this Agreement.
