Goodwill
During the execution of the project, new requirements might come up that were not part of the project scope. Usually, these will require a change request and commercial quote. However, the Expertflow project manager can decide to include these changes at no additional charge for the customer, as “Goodwill”. Deliverables included as “Goodwill” will be done without legal obligation, goodwill, and on a "best effort" basis, without contractual commitment on deliverables or timelines. Expertflow may stop without reason and further obligation the deployment of the additional functionality which was not part of the original commercially agreed project scope. Expertflow will however communicate any deviation of "goodwill" functionality, and track it as any other project deliverable.
Change Control Process
Either Expertflow or Customer/Partner may request changes to the Services, Deliverables, or other terms of this SOW. This request will be communicated using a “Change Request” which describes the proposed change, the reason for the change, and the effect the change is expected to have on the Project. The Project Manager of the requesting party will submit a written Change Order to the Project Manager for the other party.
Both Customer/Partner and Expertflow will review the proposed Change Request within ten (10) business days, or according to the responsibilities and time frames in the agreed process. The Change Request will be updated with the response information, and both parties will approve it, defer it for further study, or reject it. A mutually agreed Change Order will take precedence over the SOW in the event of conflict.
If a requested change is complex, Expertflow may determine that additional fees and/or an adjustment to the Project schedule are required for a full evaluation. In this case, Expertflow will submit an “Estimation Change Order” and will proceed with the evaluation and response to the request only after agreement by the Customer/Partner.

Work location for professional services
- Unless explicitly stated in the offer, all professional services will be executed remotely over a VPN connection.
- All expenses including travel and visas for ExpertFlow engineers to come onsite, as well as living expenses inside the country will be paid by the customer.
- For any committed onsite work, ExpertFlow engineers will travel to the work location, as long as the Swiss Ministry of Foreign Affairs ( "the MOFA", http://www.eda.admin.ch/eda/fr/home/travad/ travel.html) considers it safe to do so. If during the onsite stay, the MOFA recommends foreigners leave or not visit a particular location, all onsite ExpertFlow personnel will leave the country immediately, and the additional travel cost will be borne by the partner. Any cost due to security measures as recommended by the Swiss MOFA will be borne by the partner. If a location is considered to be unsafe, the project will be completed remotely only, and training will take place over WWW collaboration sessions. The on-site charges can then be deducted from the total project amount with the final payment.
- ExpertFlow is an equal opportunity employer. ExpertFlow commits to providing the deliverables outlined in this offer with the engineers most qualified and appropriate for the work at hand. This is being done regardless of nationality, sex, or religious beliefs. ExpertFlow does not commit to making one particular engineer available for a certain task or project. If CVs are joined in the bid document, this is to illustrate the type of engineers that ExpertFlow will deploy during the project. Engineers are assigned if and when work occurs and based upon the task at hand, and availability of the best available resource. ExpertFlow therefore doesn't commit in advance to a particular person for a particular project.
Non-disclosure, non-solicitation, and intellectual property
- Design and architecture documents provided by ExpertFlow are the intellectual property and ownership of ExpertFlow. The same applies to documentation provided by the customer. Such documents will be used exclusively for the purpose of using the platform as deployed by ExpertFlow. In case of non-award of a project, such documents will be returned to the originating party, and any copy thereof available destroyed. This obligation of confidence doesn't apply to information that becomes generally available to the public, is available to the customer before receiving such information from the releasing party, is made available by a third party that has no such obligation to the releasing party, or is required by law to be disclosed.
- Either party may disclose that ExpertFlow is Customer’s vendor and that Customer is an ExpertFlow customer.
- During the term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years after the later of the date of this Agreement or the completion of any SOW under this Agreement, each party agrees not to, directly or indirectly, initiate employment discussions with, hire or use in any way the services of an employee or contractor of the other Party (ExpertFlow, partner and customer). The parties specifically agree that a material, uncured breach of this provision will entitle the non-breaching Party to agreed-upon liquidated damages in the amount of fifty thousand dollars $50,000 per occurrence with a maximum aggregate limitation of $500,000. Subject to the time limitation set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph, this provision applies to employees and contractors who are no longer employed by the injured party but were so employed at any time during the term of this Agreement.
- ExpertFlow (or its licensor, if applicable) retains sole title to and ownership of all intellectual property including the source code and patents of the Supported Software and Updates, all related information furnished under this Agreement, and all related copyrights. However, the licenses and the entitlements procured by Customer will be owned by Customer.
Legal conditions and liability
The terms of this agreement are entered into force by the customer and partner ordering any services or software from ExpertFlow, and ExpertFlow accepting to provide these services for a certain period or project. It ends after the last agreed service has been provided by ExpertFlow to the partner. A project is considered "ordered" by ExpertFlow and legally binding to ExpertFlow once ExpertFlow sends a "PO acceptance" to the partner, re-stating the exact scope and T&Cs to the partner.
In case of a legal dispute, the competent court of jurisdiction is in Berne, Switzerland, and the language will be English, with each party paying his own legal fees. Alternatively if specified so, and in order to speed up a legal settlement, an international Arbitration under United Nations UNCITRAL (www.uncitral.org) processes will govern settlements of disputes, applying Swiss Rules of International Arbitration in force on the date on which the Notice of Arbitration is submitted. The number of arbitrators shall be one, and the partner is free to choose any arbitrator that is a member of the Swiss Arbitration Association (http://www.arbitration-ch.org/), and ExpertFlow will accept that arbitrator. The arbitration fees of the arbitration panel or third-party legal fees will be borne jointly by both parties, and each party will bear its own travel costs.
IN NO EVENT SHALL ExpertFlow BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR ANY COSTS OF RECOVERING, REPROGRAMMING, OR REPRODUCING ANY PROGRAM OR DATA STORED IN OR USED WITH ExpertFlow INSTALLED SOFTWARE, OR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY CORRUPT OR INADEQUATE DATA, EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN ADDITION, ExpertFlow TOTAL LIABILITY TO THE CUSTOMER/PARTNER UNDER THIS LICENSE SHALL BE LIMITED TO ONE HUNDRED PERCENT (100%) OF THE PROJECT FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY THE CUSTOMER/PARTNER UNDER THIS CONTRACT. THE CUSTOMER/PARTNER RELEASES ExpertFlow FROM ALL OBLIGATIONS, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, OR DEMANDS IN EXCESS OF THE LIMITATION. THIS LIMITATION SHALL SURVIVE AND APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED WARRANTY OR REMEDY HEREUNDER IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
If a cost is incurred due to missing SW licenses ordered to ExpertFlow, or for which ExpertFlow charged ATP margin, ExpertFlow will participate in the missing cost of these SW licenses up to a total amount of 10% of the entire project value ordered to ExpertFlow, by assuming 50% of these costs, deductible from the final payment of the project. 50% of these costs will be paid by the partner.
Termination/ Survivability
Once a purchase order is sent to ExpertFlow, the full amount is due to ExpertFlow at the latest 12 months after the PO is received, independently of project status.
In case of bankruptcy of the customer, or in case of a take-over, the debts due to ExpertFlow will have the most senior status right after statutory legal salary and social security payments for employees.
ExpertFlow can terminate a project/ purchase order by reverting to the customer all payments that the customer made to ExpertFlow for that project/ PO and thereafter has no further obligations to the customer.
The non-disclosure and non-solicitation remain in place for three years after editing.
Force Majeure
Non-performance by a party is excused if that party proves that the non-performance was due to an impediment beyond its control and that it could not reasonably be expected to have taken the impediment into account at the time of the conclusion of the contract or to have avoided or overcome it or its consequences.
When the impediment is only temporary, the excuse shall have effect for such period as is reasonable having regard to the effect of the impediment on the performance of the contract.
The party who fails to perform must give notice to the other party of the impediment and its effect on its ability to perform. If the notice is not received by the other party within a reasonable time after the party who fails to perform knew or ought to have known of the impediment, it is liable for damages resulting from such non-receipt.
Nothing in this article prevents a party from exercising a right to terminate the contract to withhold performance or request interest on money due.
