Terms and Conditions

1. Scope of MSA. This MSA, together with all exhibits, attachments, Service Order Agreements with all attachments (“SOA”), and applicable Motorola tariff(s) or price lists (“Tariff”), set forth the terms and conditions governing the purchase of Services by Customer.

A SOA shall detail the Services purchased, the pricing, and the term of the SOA for such Services. The SOA shall be expressly made pursuant to the terms and conditions of this MSA and shall be signed by both parties.

3. Service Support Plan. Motorola agrees to provide certain support services (“Support Services”) as further described in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein, in connection with Customer’s purchase of Services (“Service Support Plan”). The Support Services may be subject to change at Motorola’ sole discretion; provided, however, any changes to the Support Services will not result in a material reduction in the level of services provided to Customer.

4. Order of Precedence in the Event of Conflict. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this MSA, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the documents associated with this MSA, that conflict shall be resolved pursuant to the following order of precedence: (i) the SOA, (ii) this MSA; (iii) the Service Support Plan, and (iv) the Motorola applicable Tariff at http://www.vestapublicsafety.com/misc/tariffs.php. Motorola may modify its Tariff(s) from time to time, and any modification shall be binding upon Customer as provided in the applicable Tariff.  However, if Motorola makes any changes to the applicable Tariff (other than to Taxes or Regulatory Cost Recovery Fees) that affect Customer in a material and adverse manner, Customer may discontinue the affected portion of the Services without liability by providing Motorola with written notice of discontinuance within sixty (60) calendar days of the date of the change, unless within sixty (60) calendar days of receiving Customer’s discontinuance notice, Motorola agrees to remove the material adverse effect on Customer.  Customer may enroll to receive email notifications of Tariff changes by sending an email request to Vesta.CustomerInquiry@motorolasolutions.com.

5. Rates and Charges; Taxes and Regulatory Cost Recovery Fees.  Customer agrees to pay for the Services in accordance with the schedule of rates and charges as set forth in the applicable SOA.  If Customer purchases any Services after the expiration of the Initial Term (as defined below) or Extended Term (as defined below) of this MSA, Customer and Motorola shall negotiate a new MSA and SOA.  Except as otherwise provided for in the SOA, Customer shall not be eligible to receive any other additional discounts, promotions and/or credits (tariffed or otherwise). The rates and charges set forth in a SOA shall be listed in the SOA pricing schedule and shall include a listing of the monthly recurring charges and applicable advance payments and/or non-recurring charges. The charges in the SOA do not include the following: (a) charges imposed by a third party other than Motorola (if any); (b) Taxes or Regulatory Cost Recovery Fees (as defined below); and (c) charges related to customer premises equipment or extended wiring to or at Customer premises.  Motorola shall give Customer notice of such changes in rates, charges, or fees pursuant to the notice provision set forth in Section 21 herein or by other reasonable means. Motorola may add or adjust rates, charges, and fees in order to recover Taxes or Regulatory Cost Recovery Fees, as defined below. Unless otherwise specified, prices in any SOA do not include any excise, sales, lease, use, property, or other taxes, assessments, duties or governmental impositions including regulatory charges or  contribution requirements when Motorola is required to collect such regulatory charges or contributions from Customer (collectively, “Taxes”), or any fees or charges to offset costs Motorola incurs to comply with regulations or participate in regulatory programs, including but not limited to regulatory fees or charges imposed on Motorola by governmental entities or collected from Motorola by third parties, which are not Taxes or charges that government mandates be recovered from Customer but that Motorola is permitted to recover from Customer either in aggregate or as individual line items ("Regulatory Cost Recovery Fees").  Such Taxes and Regulatory Cost Recovery Fees will be paid by Customer, except as exempt by law, unless otherwise specified in an Ordering Document.  If Motorola is required to pay any Taxes or permitted to recover any Regulatory Cost Recovery Fees, Customer will  be billed by Motorola for such Taxes (including any interest and penalties) or Regulatory Cost Recovery Fees, whether as part of its standard billings or as separately billed and, with respect to the latter, using a "regulatory cost recovery" descriptor or other applicable descriptor, and Customer agrees that it will pay such Taxes and Regulatory Cost Recovery Fees within thirty (30) days after Customer’s receipt of an invoice therefore, unless Customer furnishes Motorola applicable tax-exemption certificates.. Motorola will be solely responsible for reporting Taxes on its income and net worth.

6. Payment.  Invoicing and payment shall be made in accordance with the applicable SOA.  Motorola shall provide Customer with invoices detailing all amounts due under the applicable SOA.  Customer shall pay interest on any amount not paid in an amount and within the time frame specified in the SOA.

 

7. Term of MSA.  This MSA shall commence on the Effective Date and shall remain effective for a base term of five (5) years (the “Initial Term”), unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of this MSA. This MSA shall automatically renew and continue in force for an additional five (5) years (“Extended Term”) until terminated by either party upon sixty (60) calendar days written notice to the other party prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Extended Term.  Vesta may, at its option by notice provided to Customer at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, change the monthly recurring rates charged to Customer pursuant to an applicable SOA and this Agreement.  The terms and conditions of this MSA shall continue to apply during any Service specific commitments set forth in a SOA or other attachment that extends beyond the Initial Term or Extended Term.  The parties agree that any recurring charges identified in the SOA may be adjusted no more than once annually, starting 12 months after the Services Commencement Date, if the prior year's US inflation rate is greater than 3.00%, as indicated by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics' annual US CPI-U numbers.  At Motorola’s discretion, it may increase the pricing by the difference in percentage between the prior year's annual US CPI-U number and 3.00%, applied to all recurring charges for the remaining Initial Term and any Renewal Term(s).

8. Termination of MSA.

A. For Cause. Either party may terminate this MSA immediately, in whole or in part, for default or breach subject to the following provisions: (i) If the default or breach is reasonably capable of cure, the non-defaulting party shall give the other party written notice in accordance with Section 21 herein and thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the notice to cure; and (ii) if the defaulting party fails to cure the breach within the 30-calendar day cure period, automatic termination of this MSA shall be effective on the 31st calendar day.

B. Termination for Convenience.  Subject to the terms of Section 8(E) below, Customer may terminate this MSA for convenience upon thirty (30) calendar day written notice in accordance with Section 21 herein.

C. Termination by Mutual Agreement.  This MSA may be terminated by mutual written agreement of the parties, without any liability for termination charges as described in Section 8(E) of this MSA if (i) upon thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice, Customer notifies Motorola that a state 9-1-1 agency seeks to directly pay for the services described within this MSA; and (ii) Motorola and state 9-1-1 agency have successfully negotiated and executed an agreement for the provision of the Services described in this MSA.

D. Effect of Termination or Expiration.  In the event of termination of this MSA or SOA, Motorola shall be entitled to payment for Services ordered by Customer prior to termination of this MSA and delivered and/or rendered, as applicable.

E. Termination Charges.  If Customer terminates this MSA or a SOA for failure to obtain appropriation or budget funding pursuant to the terms of Section 11 entitled “Appropriation:  Funding,” Customer shall have no further liability under this MSA except as otherwise provided in Section 11.  If: (a) Customer chooses early termination of this MSA or a SOA, or (b) Motorola terminates this MSA for Cause (as provided in Section 8(A)), then Customer shall pay to Motorola, within thirty (30) calendar days after such termination, (i) if the termination is prior to installation of an ordered Service, an amount equal to 10% of the remaining monthly recurring charges as set forth in the pricing schedule in the applicable SOA or (ii) if the termination is after installation of an ordered Service, an amount equal to 50% of the monthly recurring charges as set forth in the pricing schedule in the applicable SOA for the period remaining in the applicable Term.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this MSA, any non-recurring charges set forth in a pricing schedule are non-refundable.

9. Quotes and Orders.  This MSA shall not be construed as a purchase order for any Services. Whenever Customer desires a quote from Motorola regarding the purchase of Services, Customer shall make a written request for a quote.

A quote shall be valid for a period of one hundred twenty (120) calendar days from the date of the quote unless otherwise stated on the quote. If Customer desires to purchase the Services identified in a quote, Customer shall sign a SOA. Upon a fully executed SOA, Motorola shall commence the requested Service on the Services Commencement Date (as defined in the applicable SOA).

10. Notice of Service Interruption or Disconnection.  Motorola shall use reasonable efforts under the circumstances to avoid interrupting any Service without notice. Subject to applicable law, Motorola may interrupt Service with notice as necessary to protect the security and proper operation of Motorola’ or Customer’s facilities or Services. Except as otherwise provided in the foregoing, any other termination or disconnection of all or part of any Service shall be subject to prior written notice. Customer shall provide prior written notice pursuant to Section 21 for the disconnection of Service.

11. Appropriations; Funding. Customer further agrees to request all appropriations and budget funding necessary to pay for the Services for each subsequent fiscal period through the end of the Initial Term or any Extended Term.  In the event Customer is unable to obtain the necessary appropriations or budget funding for the Services, Customer may terminate the Services without liability for the termination charges set forth in this MSA upon the following conditions: (i) Customer has taken all actions necessary to obtain adequate appropriations or budget funding; (ii) despite Customer’s best efforts, funds have not been appropriated or budgeted and are otherwise unavailable to pay for the Services; and (iii) Customer has negotiated in good faith with Motorola to develop revised terms, an alternative payment schedule or a revised SOA, including any associated Attachments to accommodate Customer’s appropriations or budget.  Customer must provide Motorola with thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice pursuant to Section 21 of its intent to terminate this MSA or an applicable SOA under this Section.  Termination of this MSA or an applicable SOA for failure to obtain necessary appropriations or budget funding shall be effective as of the last day for which funds were appropriated or budgeted or otherwise made available.  If Customer terminates this MSA and/or an SOA under this Section, Customer agrees it shall pay all amounts due for any costs incurred and services rendered and/or accepted or delivered up to and including the date of termination.
