Informal Negotiations
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Use (each a “Dispute” and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least ninety (90) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.
Binding Arbitration
If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved through binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website: www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in Windham, Connecticut. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Windham, Connecticut, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) is excluded from these Terms of Use.
In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Site be commenced more than one (1) years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable, and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
Restrictions
The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration
The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

Last updated January 1, 2022
Digitally Optimized Systems to Marketing LLC, aka (“DOS-M”) shall provide all the services described in the executed Statement(s) of Work (“SOW”). A Statement of Work may include but is not limited to a PayPal invoice or subsequent document outlining the project scope. Additional services may be contracted through DOS-M by means of a subsequent SOW executed between DOS-M and the Client. All work performed under any SOW is subject to the terms of this Agreement unless otherwise explicitly indicated in the SOW.
Each SOW outside of DOS-M’s core service listed on dos-m.com will include DOS-M’s estimate of the cost to complete the project. DOS-M does its best to accurately estimate project costs upfront based on the scope as it is defined in the Client’s work request. The estimate is based upon the list of features documented in the SOW. Any feature not specifically referenced and estimated in the SOW is not included in the current scope of the project. All costs listed in the SOW are an ESTIMATE and NOT a FIXED BID.
For each associated SOW, as soon as DOS-M identifies that a task or deliverable may go over the estimate, the Client will be alerted, and the parties will mutually agree in writing to proceed before any additional work is done which exceeds the approved estimate.
Client is responsible for the delivery of Client deliverables as defined in the SOW. Common customer deliverables include brand guidelines, media files, product strategy, design, content/migration, software / service purchases, quality / acceptance testing, and checklists. Should Client be delayed or unable to deliver as per the requirements of the SOW or the project, the timeline and budget will be adjusted accordingly at the discretion of DOS-M. Meaning, if the project is scheduled for a particular date and the clients fails to deliver everything on time. DOS-M is not responsible for sticking to the original timeline. The client might have to wait until DOS-M’s soonest availability which could be up to 3 months.
DOS-M takes great pride in the quality of our work, and as such, will test for Quality Assurance “QA”. The engagement of internal Client QA resources is also highly recommended. DOS-M is happy to work with a 3rd party QA team or with the Client’s in-house QA team. DOS-M will identify signoff milestones of deliverables, features, and sprints during the roadmapping phase of the project. The Client and their QA team will be responsible for ensuring that each milestone and the end product adhere to the agreed-upon requirements. There is a limit to one round of revisions before additional hourly rates are implemented. Signoff by the PoC will be delivered in writing upon completion of each milestone. If a written response is not received from the PoC within 2 weeks after completion of the applicable milestone and/or end product, the deliverable shall be deemed as automatically approved by the Client.
In order to ensure that commitments can be met, DOS-M will book resources for the duration of the project window defined in the project schedule set forth in the SOW. The estimated cost of each deliverable and the overall budget are shaped by the schedule. Should the Client need to extend or accelerate the duration of the project, an additional fee may be assessed proportionally to the impact on the project costs to DOS-M. Such additional fee shall be disclosed to, and approved by, the Client in advance of such additional fee being imposed.
If the project is delayed by an unscheduled Client delay of over two weeks, DOS-M may put the project on hold and may reallocate resources to other customers. As such, weekly status meetings, scrums, technical work and/or any other routine interactions shall temporarily cease. When the Client is ready for it to resume, the project will be rescheduled based upon DOS-M’s availability and a 5% rescheduling fee will be assessed. Any work and meetings requested by the Client during the hold period will be billed time & materials at 50% off DOS-M’s current hourly rate.
DOS-M offers ongoing sprints, which include devops support, maintenance/performance improvements, and new development for active production environments. In order to accept an on-demand maintenance or support agreement, the Client will be required to purchase a management service. Otherwise, management/support is not included after the project is completed.
Support: Support services include the triage and repair of issues reported with a live software platform.
Maintenance: Regular maintenance work operates under project response times and terms and is not subject to support SLA terms detailed below.
Reporting of Issues: Any support requests or issues must be submitted by the PoC, responsible technical leads or Client’s staff in writing via DOS-M’s project tracking system.
Response Time: DOS-M will aim to reply to written support requests within the standard response times for project work. Should the Client require real time support, this will be scheduled between the client and DOS-M. Written requests must be submitted through the approved project management system as set forth in section “Project Management & Communication”. Please note that email or text is often subject to personal schedules and while it should be included in the communication chain, is not subject to triggering a response time window. DOS-M will define the priority level of a request as part of the triage and response process.
Resolution Time: Resolution of issues will be handled by priority and urgent requests may affect the delivery of regular sprint based work. DOS-M provides average and top resolution times as a benchmark, but will not guarantee delivery through a service level agreement. The times listed below are estimates only.
Priority Matrix
Priority 1 [Critical]: The problem reported has immediate, serious business and financial exposure. An end-user is unable to work or perform some significant function of the platform. There is no acceptable workaround to the problem (i.e., the task cannot be performed in any other way).
Priority 2 [High]: The problem reported has immediate, serious business and financial exposure. An end-user is unable to work or perform some significant function of the platform. There is an acceptable and implemented workaround to the problem (i.e., the task can be performed in some other way).
Priority 3 [Normal]: The problem reported has low business and financial exposure. Implementing the request immediately will not result in significantly added value to the organization. An end-user is unable to perform some small function but is able to complete the majority of the tasks on the platform. There may or may not be an acceptable workaround to the problem.
Priority 4 [Low]: The problem reported has a minimal business and financial exposure. Implementing the request immediately will not result in significantly added value to the organization. An end-user is unable to perform some small function but is able to complete the majority of the tasks on the platform. There is likely an acceptable workaround to the problem.
Defining Priorities: As part of discovery, Client and DOS-M will define example case scenarios for each priority level to aid in triage.
Estimated Response Times
Support (Devops and General): DOS-M will provide front-line support responses according to the priority of the issue reported. Response times and resolution times will apply as follows: (Priority Level, Goal Response Time, Goal Resolution Time)
Priority 3: Normal & Priority 4: Low,
Within ~1 business week, Average resolution time is one (3) business days. DOS-M will aim to keep resolution time under five (8) business days after initial response time.
High Priority Coverage:
During pre-defined periods of high-priority coverage, DOS-M will extend business hours to include 12-hour coverage throughout the defined window during which all response times will occur in under 4 business hours. An additional cost, as defined in the SOW, will be applied to a high-priority window.
Fixed Fee Projects: DOS-M will provide patches and bug fixes for any bugs or issues included in the scope of work that was introduced by DOS-M during the deployment to production / launch process. Bugs and issues found in features that were previously approved by the Client during the course of the project will not be covered by the warranty. Issues must be reported by the Client within the grace period of no more than 30 days following the date of project completion, as defined by the date the Client signs off on the deliverables. All bug fixes outside of the project scope or after the grace period are the responsibility of the Client. Should further support be necessary, a support SOW may be negotiated.
Constrained Time & Materials Projects: DOS-M will provide a clear release and exit plan including a final sprint to serve as a cleanup and polish period. This sprint will be allocated for in the budget estimate and all work will be billed using the standard hourly rate. Should the project budget exceed original expectations, customer may choose to limit the scope of the final post-release sprint. DOS-M does not offer a window of unpaid work.
On-Going Time & Material Projects: Projects which run over multiple budget periods, and have no delineated exit point, can have a warranty sprint(s) that will be planned and budgeted like a regular project sprint. Bugs and features will be tracked within the project backlog and scheduled in sprint planning. Each sprint is started once work is approved, and billed once work is completed. These projects have no implied warranty.
All projects will be required to pay a 50% non-refundable deposit based on the SOW, and a final payment will be required upon completion unless otherwise stated. All payments are due within 30 days of the invoice being sent unless otherwise stated. Late payments will be charged a 5% per month fee compounded monthly (or the maximum allowable by law, if less). Should an undisputed payment be late, DOS-M reserves the right to freeze or modify all work until accounts are settled. If the amount of any invoice is in dispute, Client shall pay any amount that is undisputed. If payment has not been received within 90 days, DOS-M reserves the right to delete all work performed.
Time & Materials is billed hourly. DOS-M will review work requests in our project management system, plan sprints and provide a cost estimate per ticket based upon priority. Once approved, with an executed SOW in place, work will proceed. As soon as we know that a task may go over the estimate, the Client will be alerted, and the parties will mutually agree to proceed before any work is done which exceeds the approved estimate. A breakdown of hours per billing period by task and / or by deliverable will be made available upon request.
Website Discount: A discount of 50% (“Website Discount”) will be extended to Client if they’ve purchased a website service by DOS-M. This discount only applies to hourly work related to the website built by DOS-M.
Payment will be set by project milestone defined within the SOW. Upon written Client acceptance of the successful completion of the milestone an invoice will be sent. Any scope changes during the course of the project will require a written and approved change order.
Retainers are based upon the entire availability, or a fraction, of a DOS-M project. We will structure the flow of work using a regular sprint planning session. Each month, the Client and DOS-M team will review all open tickets in the backlog together in order to determine which features should be included in the next sprint for strategy & scoping, UX / design, and development. We will allocate a predetermined percentage of our availability for time-sensitive requests which are set in sprint planning, and triage as they come in. Should the timely requests exceed planned availability, they will be added to the backlog. We are happy to consider flexing upon request if you have budget flexibility to exceed the monthly cap and if we have any additional availability. Additional hours used above the agreed retainer will be billed at DOS-M’s hourly rate. Unused retainer hours for any given month will not roll over into subsequent months.
Licenses, media files, specialized software, server costs, code versioning services, project management tools, and any other assets or services required specifically for this project, pre approved by Client and paid by DOS-M, will be billed accordingly. Clients will buy the materials or services directly unless specifically agreed upon in writing. Any effort required by DOS-M around purchasing tools, services or assets will be invoiced at the Time & Materials rate.
Client and project-related travel will be budgeted as follows:
All projected costs will be submitted to the Client before travel is booked, for review and approval. Final expenses will be invoiced as incurred. Travel costs are not included in the project estimate. However, if work included in the estimate is performed as part of the travel engagement, the Client will not be billed twice for those working hours.
DOS-M currently only accepts payment through PayPal invoices, Venmo, or Cashapp. DOS-M does not accept cash or paper checks.
Downpayment: An initial payment to cover the first sprint will be required for kickoff. The funds from this deposit will be billed directly against initial work.
DOS-M will require one point of contact during the Agreement for clarifying requirements for design, key features, usability and maintenance issues. It will be assumed that the original customer reaching out will be the point of contact throughout the project. DOS-M requires this person to be available to answer questions arising from the project within 2 business days (subject to reasonable exceptions), and to have authority to make design and related decisions on the system. The Primary Point of Contact (“PoC”) may authorize other officers or employees to respond to any issue requiring the technical expertise, or may designate a new point of contact by communicating such change in writing to DOS-M.
Business Day / Hour: For the purposes of this contract, “business days” and “business hours” shall be defined as Monday-Friday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST.
Project Tracking Software: DOS-M will manage work using a proprietary project tracking software (including wikis, issue tracking, Git integration, announcements and timelines) and google documents. The Client will not have access to these systems. If the customer needs a copy of any documentation, they can submit a written request. DOS-M has the right to refuse access to any documentation.
Written Communication: DOS-M will constitute that texting, email, and instant messaging through third party platforms all count as written communication.
Due to the nature of our project load, DOS-M is not set up to support on demand services outside of business hours and any window of time otherwise defined within the SOW. Within the duration of this Agreement, DOS-M will make every effort to reply to inquiries within two business days except where the Client has been previously notified of a period of limited availability. DOS-M will respond in good faith but cannot guarantee any specific action within a given time frame.
Should a specific Service Level Agreement for technical support or devops be included in the SOW, response time expectations will be defined in the appropriate section and for those offering supercede our standard response timeframe.
As defined in the applicable SOWs, DOS-M will provide the completed deliverables (“Finished Product(s)”) to the Client in the form of source code files, object code files, data files, rendered assets, paper documents and other asset files. The Finished Product(s) does not include process materials, comps, prototypes, notes, or other assets generated throughout the project unless specifically stated within the SOW. The Finished Product(s) are commonly delivered to the Client through a file sharing service, the project management system, email and/or through a shared code repository for a limited period of time, with the expectation that the Client will download the deliverables they desire during the agreed upon window. The Finished Product(s) become the exclusive property of the Client upon acceptance of delivery and complete payment of all terms as set forth in the SOW(s).
The Finished Product(s) may include content from third parties, integrate with services, open source projects, or whose intellectual property rights (such as copyrights, trade secrets, patents, etc.) are entirely owned by DOS-M. DOS-M represents and warrants that it has a legal right to use any such existing content in the creation of the Finished Product(s). The Client’s right to use such content is subject to the licenses provided in this MSA, the SOW, and licenses specifically defined by their respective owners. Such code and other underlying technologies do NOT become the property of the Client, only the Finished Product(s). No rights to these dependencies is expressed or implied.
Any purchase, support or use of a Software-as-a-Service offerings will be done under the terms and conditions of that service and is not covered under the terms of this Agreement.
Finished Product(s): Unless a specific time period is defined within the SOW, Client may use the Finished Product(s) indefinitely so long as the Client continues to comply with the terms of this Agreement and any applicable SOW. DOS-M provides no guarantee outside the terms defined in the SOW to support the Client’s continued use of the Finished Product(s).
We take great pride in our work and like to share our combined success. Client agrees that DOS-M shall have the right to include the relevant Client brand within its roster of clients. When publicly available, the Client’s project will be directly referenced as part of DOS-M’s business portfolio. DOS-M has the right to include any data/performace indicators from client’s accounts in DOS-M’s portfolio as long as no sensitive or private information is shared.
In the event that any aspect of this Agreement is dependent on a separate third party or the Client’s in-house team, the quality and punctuality of the Finished Product(s) (defined below) may be subject to said party’s ability to meet the required timelines and / or level of quality. DOS-M is not responsible for any delay or defect caused by separate third party or the Client’s in-house teams except in such cases where Client has engaged such third-party to perform a portion of DOS-M‘s obligation under any applicable SOW.
DOS-M is not responsible for the uptime, performance or stability of any 3rd party service. Should an API or service change and in any way affect the application or alter scope, additional budget may become required and the timeline may be affected. DOS-M will document all required integration points.
Client is ultimately responsible for the creation, entry, design, review, and final quality of all their content. This includes web copy, media files, documents and embedded assets. Specific responsibilities from both DOS-M and the Client will be defined in the SOW or documented during the planning phase.
DOS-M and Client will both observe applicable copyright and trademark laws. Clients will obtain permission from any copyright owner to use their asset (stock media, code library or snippet, font and 3rd party tool) that has any restrictions, requires payment or affects the copyright or ownership of the deliverable.
Applicable deliverables from both DOS-M and the Client will comply with the accessibility standards set forth in the SOW at the time of delivery. DOS-M is not responsible for any accessibility requirements outside the specific deliverables defined in the SOW. Should no accessibility requirements be set forth in the SOW, the customer releases DOS-M from any obligation from accessibility compliance. Client is responsible for the accessibility compliance of all web content (user created text, images, video, sound, files) and any/all changes made to the Finished Product(s) by all parties aside from DOS-M.
The Client is responsible for choosing, paying for, and maintaining any required hosting solutions and associated services unless the Client opts in for monthly management services. This includes, but is not limited to test, staging, production dns, CDN servers, domains, code versioning hosting, project management tools, documents, data storage, media storage, or other paid services required for the project. DOS-M is NOT responsible for down time, poor performance, or loss of data caused by the hosting provider. Additionally, DOS-M is not responsible for any bug caused by changes on the host after the delivery of the work detailed in the SOW, including but not limited to updates to operating system, compile systems, code libraries and languages, or any changes resulting from security violations.
DOS-M maintains internal backups of active project code and design files. This backup system is not intended as a solution for the Client, rather as a code archive through the duration of this engagement. While the DOS-M backup system is fully redundant, it is not guaranteed and does not support any content produced by the Client. The Client is solely responsible for the backup and restoration of the Finished Product(s) and any associated data should DOS-M not be engaged to provide ongoing monthly services.
Although DOS-M makes every effort to provide secure Finished Product(s), due to the nature of rapidly advancing technology, DOS-M can in no way guarantee that the Finished Product(s) will not be subject to security breaches. DOS-M recommends the use of strong passwords and the observance of standard security practices. In order to minimize the chances of security violations, systems should be updated often. The Client is solely responsible for tracking software updates which may affect their system should DOS-M not be engaged to provide ongoing monthly services.
The Client alone shall be responsible for: (a) the accuracy and adequacy of information and data furnished for processing; (b) any use made by the Client of the output of the software or any reliance thereon; (c) obtaining the required licenses and respect copyright for any and all third party assets including but not limited to fonts, media, and software and (d) taking any and all steps necessary to enable both parties to fulfill their obligations under this Agreement and any SOW. The Client shall also be responsible for the continued operation and maintenance of the computer equipment and third party software used with the Finished Product(s), and shall comply with all operational, environmental and maintenance recommendations and requirements of the applicable licensors, vendors and manufacturers.
The Client agrees that any liability of DOS-M relating to this agreement and the services performed shall be limited to the amount of fees actually received by DOS-M from the Client under this Agreement regarding the services in question, in the immediately preceding 6 calendar months. In no event shall DOS-M be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, cover, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages; any damages based on injury to person or property; or any lost sales, profits or data, even if the Client is told that any such damages may occur.
DOS-M shall not be liable or responsible, nor be deemed to have defaulted or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling any term of this Agreement when such failure or delay results from acts or circumstances beyond reasonable control. Such circumstances include, without limitation, acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, governmental actions, war, invasion or hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, zombie apocalypse, riot, or other civil unrest, national emergency, revolution and insurrection, epidemic, lock-outs, strikes or other labor disputes (whether or not relating to either party’s workforce), or restraints or delays affecting carriers or inability or delay in obtaining supplies of adequate or suitable materials, telecommunication breakdown or power outage, provided that, if the event in question continues for a continuous period in excess of 30 days, Client shall be entitled to give notice in writing to terminate this Agreement.
This Agreement is valid for one calendar year beginning on the Effective Date. It will automatically renew for an additional one calendar year term, unless notice of termination or nonrenewal is given by either party, within 30 days of the renewal date. This Agreement may be terminated by either party with a full 30 day written notice. All payments will be due and all work will be submitted upon the termination of Contract.
If notice of termination is given while any SOW is active but before the applicable Final Product(s) has been signed off, DOS-M will complete the current sprint and prepare all work product for handoff to the Client. All billable work for the final sprint will be invoiced and deducted from the deposit. In addition, should the total spent not meet the volume discount requirement, DOS-M may deduct the difference between any Website Discount that was extended to Client and DOS-M’s non-discounted rates, if the basis for cancellation is anything other than default by DOS-M. Any remaining deposit will be returned.
