The Services

2. The Parties agree that the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement (together with each relevant Accepted Estimate) shall govern the relationship between them about the provision of the Services and the Deliverables.

3. The Agency undertakes to perform the Services and provide the Deliverables diligently, efficiently and professionally. It shall use its best endeavours to adhere to any deadlines and time frames as approved between the parties, taking into account that the Agency's ability to perform efficiently is based on certain assumptions which may change during the course of the Agency rendering its services to the Client in terms hereof.

Where no time frame or delivery dates have been set, or deadlines have been agreed to, the Agency will render its services within a reasonable period. The Client agrees that the Agency shall not be held liable for any delays which are outside of its reasonable control, including but not limited to delays caused by the Client's failure or delay in approving work or Estimates or any delays caused by third-party contractors.

Estimates

1. Before the commencement of any work by the Agency in connection with the Services and Deliverables, the Agency shall issue the Client with an Estimate specifying:

1. the Services and Deliverables to be provided to the Client by the Agency;

2. the fees to be charged by the Agency to the Client for the Services and Deliverables to be provided; and

3. to the extent relevant, dates by which or upon which such Services or Deliverables are to be provided.

1. Before signature by the Client, each Estimate will be valid for 30 (thirty) days from the date of issue thereof unless revoked or replaced by the Agency before the expiry of such period and before receipt by the Agency of a copy thereof signed by the Client.

2. Upon acceptance and signature of an Estimate by the Client, such Estimate shall be an Accepted Estimate which shall henceforth be binding on the Parties. It shall be subject to and construed under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

3. If the Client wishes to appoint the Agency to provide additional services, being services not already subject to an Accepted Estimate, the Agency shall issue the Client with a new Estimate in respect of such services per this clause 4.

4. An Accepted Estimate may amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement only for the subject matter of such Accepted Estimate. Insofar as any Accepted Estimate amends the provisions of this Agreement explicitly, such amended provisions in the Accepted Estimate shall prevail in respect of that Accepted Estimate only. Amendments to this Agreement of general application shall be dealt with per clause 17.8.

5. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and an Accepted Estimate, the provisions of the Accepted Estimate shall prevail.

Provision of Services/Deliverables

1. In providing the Services, the Agency will take reasonable steps to understand the Client's business and to familiarise itself with the market(s) within which the Client operates. To this end, the Client agrees to provide the Agency from time to time and without delay with any information, documentation, guidance or assistance (together, "Information") that the Agency might reasonably require to provide the Services.

2. The Client authorises and grants a license to the Agency to use any proprietary Information furnished to the Agency in terms of clause 5.1 for the sole purpose of enabling the Agency to provide the Services and the Deliverables and warrants where necessary that the Client has obtained all necessary third party consents for such use.

3. The Agency shall deliver each Deliverable to the Client under the provisions of the relevant Accepted Estimate. Where such provision is not made in the Accepted Estimate, delivery shall be deemed to have occurred, and risk in the Deliverable shall transfer upon physical or constructive delivery, submission, transfer or transmission (electronic or otherwise) of the Deliverable to the Client by the Agency.

Change Control

1. The Agency Representative and the Client Representative shall meet at least once every month (or more often if so agreed between the parties) to discuss matters relating to the Services and Deliverables. If either Party wishes to change the scope or execution of the Services or Deliverables, it shall submit details of the requested change to the other in writing.

2. If the Client requests a change to the scope or execution of the Services or Deliverables, the Agency shall, within a reasonable time, provide a written estimate to the Client of:

1. the likely time required to implement the change;

2. any necessary variations to the Agency's charges arising from the change;

3. the possible effect of the change on the scope, execution, milestones or other issues relating to the Services or Deliverables; and

4. any different impact of the change on this Agreement.

1. If the Client wishes for the Agency to proceed with the change, the Agency shall have no obligation to do so unless and until the parties have agreed on the necessary variations to its charges, the Services or the Deliverables and any other relevant terms of this Agreement to take account of the change and this Agreement has been varied per clause 6.2.

Payment

1. Unless or to the extent otherwise provided in a relevant Accepted Estimate, the Agency shall issue invoices, and the Client shall pay all fees, costs and disbursements set out in and under each Accepted Estimate in consideration of the relevant Services or Deliverables.

2. In the absence of provision for the method of payment in an Accepted Estimate, the Client shall pay to the Agency in respect of each Accepted Estimate:

1. All rates and fees quoted by the Agency are quoted exclusive of VAT and any other applicable taxes. Subject to clause 7.1, the Client shall render payment to the Agency in respect of VAT and any other applicable taxes concurrently with each underlying cost in terms of clauses 7.1 and 7.2 on which the relevant VAT amount is calculated.

2. Late payments shall be subject to interest at the applicable prime rate of interest, calculated daily (based on a year of 365 days) and compounded monthly from the due date until the date of payment, which interest shall be payable by the Client to the Agency on demand.

3. All amounts payable by the Client to the Agency shall be paid in cleared funds, free of withholding, deduction, set-off or exchange, into a brand new's banking account, the details of which will be issued together with the invoice.

Third-Party Contractors and Staff

1. From time to time, the Agency may appoint or sub-contract third parties to perform Services or provide Deliverables (in part or in whole) provided that the Agency shall remain the primary point of contact with the Client.

2. The Agency shall use due care and skill in the selection and appointment of third parties per clause 8.1.

The Client hereby undertakes to the Agency that it shall not, for the duration of this Agreement and 24 months after that, whether directly or indirectly, nor in any capacity whatsoever, circumvent the Agency by directly engaging a third-party supplier appointed by the Agency, to the exclusion of the Agency, in connection with the Services and Deliverables. The Client agrees that a breach of this provision shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, entitling the Agency, in its discretion, to terminate its services to the Client and claim damages and opportunity loss costs.

4. The Client will work with various Agency employees in its dealings with the Agency. The Client hereby undertakes to the Agency that it shall not approach any of these employees with offers of direct employment for 24 months post-termination of its business dealings with the Agency.

4. Subject to the provisions of this clause 9, all rights, title and interest in and to each Service and Deliverable shall be owned and remain fully vested in the Agency until the Client has paid in full, per clause 7 above, all amounts owing to the Agency under the relevant Accepted Estimate in respect of such Service or Deliverable, whereupon the Agency shall cede to the Client all of its right, title and interest therein.

5.
