Executive Summary

This Master Services Agreement (MSA) establishes the legal framework for "XYZ Corp." to provide ongoing software development and IT support services to "Cymbal Superstore". It outlines the terms under which specific projects will be commissioned via Statements of Work (SOWs), detailing payment structures, intellectual property rights, and liability limitations for both parties.

Key Commercial Terms

  • Term: An initial term of three (3) years, with automatic one-year renewals unless terminated with 90 days' notice.
  • Payment Terms: Net 30 days upon receipt of invoice.
  • Exclusivity: The agreement is non-exclusive.
  • Governing Law: State of Delaware.

Primary Obligations

  • XYZ Corp. (Service Provider): Must perform services detailed in each SOW to a professional standard, provide qualified personnel, and protect Cymbal Superstore's confidential information.
  • Cymbal Superstore (Client): Must provide necessary access to its systems, cooperate in good faith, and make timely payments for services rendered.

Clauses for Closer Scrutiny

  • Indemnification (Section 8.2): The indemnification clause is unilateral, favoring XYZ Corp. Cymbal Superstore is required to indemnify the provider against a broad range of claims, including those arising from the provider's own negligence. This should be negotiated to be mutual.
  • Limitation of Liability (Section 9.1): Liability is capped at the total fees paid in the preceding six (6) months. This is a very low cap and poses a significant risk to Cymbal Superstore if a major breach occurs.
