1. INTRODUCTION
This Professional Services Agreement (“PSA”) is entered into by and between Front and the Customer identified in an applicable Order Form or statement of work (“SOW”) that references this PSA and governs the provision of any professional services described in an Order Form or SOW (“Professional Services”). This PSA is incorporated by reference into the agreement between Customer and Front that governs Customer’s use of Front’s Services (“Agreement”).
2. SCOPE OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
2.1. General. Front will provide Customer with the Professional Services specified in an applicable Order Form or a mutually executed SOW, subject to payment of the applicable Fees set forth therein. Professional Services include, but are not limited to, onboarding and implementation assistance, custom software development, and hosting services.
2.2. Statements of Work. For more detailed engagements, the parties may execute a SOW that describes the specific services and any work products to be provided by Front (“Deliverables”), as well as the project scope, timeline, and fees. Each Statement of Work will be incorporated into this PSA and the Agreement.
3. PERFORMANCE AND ACCEPTANCE
3.1. Performance. Front will use personnel with the appropriate skills, qualifications, and experience to perform the Professional Services in accordance with this PSA. Front will retain control over the method and manner of performing the Professional Services, including through any subcontractors engaged by Front.
3.2. Acceptance. Unless otherwise specified in a SOW or Order Form, the Professional Services and any related Deliverables shall be deemed accepted by Customer upon the earlier of: (a) the date Customer first uses or otherwise derives benefit from the Deliverables, or (b) ten (10) business days following delivery, unless Customer provides written notice of material non-conformance within such period, identifying the specific deficiencies. For time-and-materials services, including onboarding and support hours, acceptance will occur as such services are performed and logged by Front.
3.3. Customer Responsibilities. Customer acknowledges that the successful and timely delivery of the Professional Services requires its active participation and cooperation. Accordingly, Customer shall:
Assign appropriate project management and administrative/technical personnel with sufficient knowledge, authority, and availability to facilitate and support the Professional Services;
Promptly acknowledge and respond to Front’s requests related to the Professional Services, including (but not limited to) requests for documents, information, access to Customer systems as needed to provide the Deliverables, and issue escalation, as necessary to enable delivery of the Professional Services;
Provide timely feedback and conduct testing as reasonably required to facilitate progress and completion of the applicable Deliverables;
Clearly and accurately specify its requirements to Front prior to commencement of the Professional Services;
Collaborate in good faith with Front, including by providing internal support, facilitating access to relevant stakeholders, and assisting in the removal of internal obstacles; and
Secure and provide necessary internal approvals and decisions in a timely manner to avoid delay in the performance of the Professional Services.
3.4. Effect of Customer Delays. Customer’s failure to fulfill its responsibilities stated herein may impact Front’s ability to perform its obligations. Front, including its subcontractors, will not be liable for any deficiency in the performance of Professional Services to the extent such deficiency results from any acts or omissions of Customer, including, but not limited to, Customer’s failure to perform its responsibilities as required hereunder.
4. TERM AND TERMINATION
4.1. Term. This PSA will commence on the first date Customer executes an Order Form for the Professional Services (“Effective Date”) and will remain in effect until all SOWs or Order Forms that reference this PSA have expired or been terminated, unless earlier terminated as set forth below (“Term”). Upon termination of the Agreement, this PSA and any active SOWs or Order Forms shall terminate automatically.
