The terms of this MSA will apply to Marc’s performance of any services, as identified on the Sales Order, as well as all other services provided by Marc that are set forth in any addenda or schedules, each of which are hereby incorporated into this MSA by this reference (collectively, the “Services”). To the extent the terms of any Addenda (as referenced in Section 1, each an “Addendum” and collectively referred to as the “Addenda”) conflict with the terms of this MSA, the terms of the Addendum will control solely with respect to the Services that are the subject matter of that Addendum (and apply only during the subscription term during which client is being provided with the relevant services). Unless otherwise specifically stated, the terms of this MSA will control over any conflicting terms in any other incorporated document.

  1. Services. If the Services specified on the Sales Order include website services, then the additional terms of use set forth in the Website Service Addendum govern such services. If the Services specified on the Sales Order includes digital advertising and/or social media management, then the additional terms of use set in the Digital Advertising / Social Media Addendum govern such services. If the Services specified on the Sales Order includes broadcast programming or commercials, then the additional terms of use set forth in the Broadcast Programming Addendum govern such services. If the Services specified on the Sales Order includes newspaper advertising, then the additional terms of use set forth in the Newspaper Advertising Addendum govern such services. If the Services specified on the Sales Order includes Motor Marketplace, then the additional terms of use set forth in the Motor Marketplace Addendum govern such services. The terms and conditions in each such Addendum are in addition to the terms and conditions in this MSA.
  2. Billing and Payment. Client agrees to pay for the Services in accordance with the Sales Order. Unless the Sales Order specifies otherwise, amounts are due within thirty days of the date of the invoice. If any payments are not timely made, Client and anyone who is specified as being personally liable in the Marc Media Credit Application (“Personal Guarantor”) will owe a $50 per month late fee and a finance charge of 1.5% per month (18% per annum), or the maximum amount permitted by law, whichever is lower, on the amount due, plus all reasonable costs of collection (including but not limited to, attorneys fees, agency fees and/or court costs). If payments are not timely made, this MSA allows Marc to process payment from the client’s credit card on file.
  3. Term This MSA will continue in effect from the Effective Date through the end of the term specified on the Sales Order (the “Initial Term”), unless otherwise extended or terminated in accordance with the terms hereof (such as automatic renewal for digital subscriptions). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this MSA shall govern if Marc continues to provide services based on Client’s consent, with such services being handled on a month-to-month basis until a new Sales Order is executed.

            a. Termination for Breach. In the event of any material breach of this MSA by either party, the non-breaching party will have the right to terminate this MSA for cause if such breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days of written notice from the non-breaching party specifying the breach in detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Marc may immediately suspend Client’s Services if (i) Client fails to make payment due to Marc for the first time under this MSA and does not cure such non-payment within ten (10) business days after Marc has provided Client with notice of such first failure, (ii) Client fails to make payment due to Marc for an additional time under this MSA or (ii) if Client violates any provision of any Addenda attached hereto. Any suspension by Marc of the Services under the preceding sentence will not excuse Client from its obligation to pay all amounts due under this MSA. Reactivation of Services will be at Marc’s sole discretion and will be subject to applicable fees (including, but not limited to, a security deposit for future advertising spots or a reactivation fee for your website).

            b.  Effect of Termination.Upon any termination of this MSA, Client’s right to Services will immediately terminate. If Marc terminates this MSA for Client’s material breach or failure to pay, Client must pay within thirty (30) days all amounts which have accrued prior to such termination, as well as all sums that Client otherwise would have paid for Services for the remainder of the then-current Term had the MSA not been terminated, plus related taxes.

9.         Miscellaneous If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, or invalid, for any reason, then that provision is deemed to be modified to the extent required to remedy the unenforceability or invalidity or if it is not possible to remedy the unenforceability or invalidity, that provision is to be severed from these Terms and these Terms will otherwise remain in full force. This Contract shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida. The parties submit all disputes arising between them to the courts in Orange County, Florida, and any court competent to hear appeals from those courts of first instance. These Terms are the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Services and supersedes all previous negotiations, commitments and agreements (except for the Marc Media Credit Application, which is integrated into this MSA). Neither this MSA nor the Services may be assigned by Client without the prior written approval of Marc. No joint venture, partnership, employment, fiduciary, or agency relationship exists between Marc and Client as a result of this MSA or use of the Service. The parties hereto are independent contractors under this MSA. Neither party, by virtue of This MSA, will have any right, power, or authority to act or create an obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other party. Marc reserves the right to provide (or to have a third-party provider provide) some or all of the Services from any locations, worldwide. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. The failure of either party to enforce any right, remedy, power, or privilege in this MSA will not constitute a waiver of such right, remedy, power, or privilege unless acknowledged and agreed to by such party in writing; nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege. This MSA constitutes the entire Agreement between parties, and no modification hereof shall be recognized or deemed effective or enforceable unless it is in writing and is signed by both of the parties, or their assignees, hereto. The provisions of this MSA are independent of and are separable from each other. In the event any provision of this MSA, which is judicially declared to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision or provisions shall be invalid or unenforceable without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining provisions hereof. Neither failure nor any delay on the part of either party hereto to exercise any right, remedy, power, or privilege under this MSA shall operate as a waiver thereof. The headings of the sections contained in this MSA are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision. This MSA may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. The execution of this MSA may be by actual, scanned, or facsimile signature.
