Terms and Conditions

Effective Date June 24,
2021

TERMS & CONDITIONS

The following are the terms and conditions (the “Terms and Conditions”) on which we will provide the Security Solutions and Services set forth in the above Quote. Together, the Terms and Conditions and the Quote are referred to as the “Contract,” which forms the entire agreement between NopSec and Customer relating to the Security Solutions and Services.

General

  1. Any variation to this Contract, notwithstanding any variation to the Services specified in the Proposal, shall be set forth in a separate proposal executed by both parties which will be made part of this Contract. All covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the confidentiality Agreement by and between the parties executed as of the latest countersignature date are hereby made a part of this contract to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein.

Fees

  1. If we do not receive payment of any invoice within 30 days of the invoice date, we shall be entitled, without prejudice to any other rights that we may have, to suspend provision of the Security Solution and Services until all sums due are paid in full.
  2. NopSec’s fees are based, in part, on specification and assumption information provided by Customer. If any such information is incorrect or requires revision, NopSec’s fees may be adjusted accordingly. All additional work required due to changes in assumptions, specifications, or conditions of the site, will only be performed pursuant to a valid change order.
  3. If the Customer purchases Offensive Security Services, specifically internal network pentesting, NopSec may send a small physical appliance to the Customer to be installed in Customer’s network. This appliance is the property of NopSec and is loaned to the Customer solely to fulfill the obligations of delivering the Services purchased. The Customer must return the appliance to NopSec within 30 days of conclusion of the test. If the appliance is not returned within 30 days, NopSec will consider the appliance lost and the Customer will be responsible for the replacement cost plus administrative fees. 
  4. If the Customer purchases Offensive Security Services and fails to comply with the scheduling policies that state if: a) the test subject is not accessible with appropriate permissions 5 days prior to the test, or b) the Customer reschedules with fewer than 5 business days prior to the scheduled test start date, then the Customer will automatically forfeit 50% of the cost of the pentest, and the test will be rescheduled only after Customer signs a change order and associated quote for a new pentest.
  5. The term of NopSec and Customer agreement shall take effect upon effective date and shall continue for a period of 12 months from the effective Date.
  6. At the end of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for one (1) successive one-year period (“Automatic Renewal Terms”), on substantially the same terms and conditions as contained herein, unless written notice of intent to not renew is provided sixty (60) days in advance of end of the Initial Term.
