Electriq Master Services Agreement
Updated: October 7, 2022
This Master Services Agreement, including all duly executed Work Orders, Change Orders, addenda and amendments (collectively, the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between DRINKS EIQ, LLC, doing business as Electriq (“Electriq”) with offices located at 10900 Wilshire Blvd., 16th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90024, on the one hand, and you or the legal entity you represent (“Client” or “you“), on the other hand. DRINKS EIQ, LLC and Client are each a “Party” hereto and may be referred to collectively as the “Parties”. This Agreement is dated and effective as of the date you sign any Work Order (the “Effective Date”) and sets forth the terms and conditions agreed to by the Parties with regard to the professional services provided here under.
1. SERVICES.
Electriq will provide the professional services (the “Services”) set forth in the applicable work order (each, a “Work Order”) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Work Order duly executed by the Parties on and after the Effective Date is incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set forth herein. The terms of a Work Order, including any Services or Fees set forth therein, may only be modified by a change order prepared by Electriq and duly executed by the Parties (“Change Order”). To the extent required for the successful performance of certain of the Services, Client will secure all necessary licenses and/or access credentials to all software and tools used by Client and specified in the Work Order or as mutually agreed by the Parties in order for Electriq to access Client’s accounts. Client hereby expressly authorizes Electriq to access Client’s computer systems, computer network(s), and accounts (including accounts with third-party marketing services, SaaS, or social media platforms or other platforms), and Customer Data to the extent commercially reasonable and necessary for the performance of the Services. Client agrees it will not withdraw or revoke this authorization during the Term of this Agreement as long as the Services are being performed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the term of any applicable Work Order. Unless expressly set forth in the Work Order, Electriq shall have no obligation to set up any new accounts for Client for any service. The Parties agree Electriq may retain and use the services of independent contractors and subcontractors to assist it in the performance of the Services.
2. PAYMENT.
Client agrees to pay Electriq the fees stated in each applicable Work Order for Services rendered (collectively, “Fees”), pursuant to invoices issued by Electriq. All Fees for Services are due and payable in U.S. Dollars and are non-refundable. Invoices will be issued via email to the Client billing email address specified in the applicable Work Order. If payment terms are not otherwise specified in the applicable Work Order, all invoices are due and payable within 15 days of the date of the invoice (“Payment Due Date”). A retainer payable in advance and due immediately upon receipt of invoice (“Retainer”) is required prior to performance of any Services. The Retainer will be applied by Electriq toward payment of the final invoice and any Retainer balance remaining after payment of the final invoice shall be refunded to you within 30 days of the date Services are completed provided all other Work Orders you may have with Electriq are closed and/or terminated and all invoices have been paid in full. Past due invoice amounts will accrue interest at the rate of (i) 1.5% per month, or (ii) the maximum percentage amount per month permitted by Applicable Law, whichever is lower. In addition, Client agrees to reimburse Electriq for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred while performing the Services, provided those expenses that exceed $100 have been approved by Client in advance in writing. Out-of-pocket expenses include costs such as travel, courier services, and other such costs as may be identified in the Work Order or in other writings (email sufficient) by Electriq (collectively, “Expenses”). In the event of a fee or payment dispute, Client agrees to pay the undisputed portion of any disputed invoice. Client must notify Electriq in writing no later than the Payment Due Date of an invoice that the invoice, or any portion thereof, is disputed and reasonably specify the purported error or disputed entry and the reasons for each such dispute. The Parties agree to work in good faith to resolve all disputes within 30 days of the date of notice of dispute. Electriq reserves the right to suspend the Services and withhold deliverables until all invoices, including any past due invoices, are paid in full. Failure to make payment in accordance with the terms in this Section 2 constitute a material breach of the Agreement by Client. The Fees are exclusive of all applicable sales, use, value-added and other taxes, and all applicable duties, tariffs, assessments, export and import fees, or other similar charges, and Client is responsible for payment of all such taxes (other than taxes based on Electriq’s income), fees, duties, and charges and any related penalties and interest, arising from the payment of the Fees and the delivery of the Services. Electriq will not be liable for any tax levied upon or measured by the income of, or employment by, Client.
3. TERM AND TERMINATION.
This Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall continue until the completion or expiration of all open, active Work Orders (“Term”) unless terminated pursuant to this Section 3. Either Party may terminate this Agreement and any Work Order if the other Party materially breaches any of the terms, conditions, or obligations set forth in this Agreement or the applicable Work Order and fails to correct such breach within fifteen (15) days following the non-breaching Party's delivery of written notice of such breach to the breaching Party. Upon such notice of breach and failure to cure, this Agreement and the applicable Work Order will be terminated effective as of the end of the fifteenth (15th) day after written notice of breach was delivered to the breaching Party (“Termination Date”). The Parties agree that notice of breach may be made by email with proof of digital delivery to the breaching Party. In the event of termination by Electriq for breach by Client, Client shall pay Electriq for all Expenses incurred by Electriq through the Termination Date in addition to all Fees for Services set forth in the applicable Work Order. In the event of termination by Client for breach by Electriq, Client shall pay Electriq all Fees for Services performed through the Termination Date in addition to all Expenses incurred by Electriq through the Termination Date. All deliverables specified in the applicable Work Order that are due on or before the Termination Date will be provided to Client once payment in full of all undisputed invoices has been received by Electriq.
4. OWNERSHIP OF MARKETING ASSETS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
All of the advertising creatives, marketing and promotional content, campaigns, workflows, and marketing strategies created by Electriq on behalf of Client in performance of the Services (collectively, “Marketing Assets”) shall be the sole and exclusive property of Client. Client grants Electriq a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable (but solely for the purpose of this Agreement), fully paid up, worldwide, royalty-free license to use and publish the Marketing Assets in order to perform the Services during the Term. Prior works and derivative works prepared or developed by Electriq are expressly excluded from the Marketing Assets and shall be the property of Electriq. All trademarks, trade names, service marks, slogans, logos, other source identifiers (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) of Client accessed by Electriq in performance of the Services shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Client. Except as expressly set forth herein, no express or implied license or right of any kind is granted to Client in the Services, or any part thereof, including any right to obtain possession of any software, source code, data or other technical material related to the Services, except in the event Client purchases web development Services from Electriq, in which case the resulting digital code shall become the property of Client upon receipt by Electriq of payment in full of all Fees and Expenses invoiced under the applicable Work Order(s). All Intellectual Property of Electriq shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Electriq and Client may not display, copy, duplicate, publish or use in any way the Intellectual Property of Electriq without Electriq’s express prior written approval.
5. OWNERSHIP AND HANDLING OF CUSTOMER DATA.
All of Client’s customer personal information including, without limitation, customer lists and email lists, and personally identifiable information of customers (collectively “Customer Data”) shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Client. The Services provided by Electriq are not intended to process any Customer Data, but to the extent that any Customer Data is processed by Electriq indirectly or incidentally, then for purposes of compliance with applicable privacy laws, Client agrees Electriq shall be deemed a “service provider” as that term is defined by the California Privacy Rights Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq., and its implementing regulations including the California Consumer Privacy Rights Act, as the same may be amended from time to time, collectively, “CPRA”); and Customer Data shall be disclosed to Electriq only for the limited business purpose of providing the Services as specified in this Agreement. For purposes of compliance with applicable privacy laws including, but not limited to the CPRA, to the extent Electriq is deemed a service provider Electriq agrees it will: (i) not further retain, use or disclose Customer Data except as necessary to perform the Services contemplated under this Agreement or as otherwise permitted by the CPRA; (ii) not sell or share Customer Data; (iii) implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the Customer Data to protect personal information from unauthorized or illegal access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure; (iv) not combine Customer Data with personal information Electriq receives from or on behalf of another person(s) or that Electriq collects from its own interaction with consumers provided, however, nothing herein shall prevent Electriq from combining Customer Data as necessary to perform certain business purposes identified in regulations adopted by the California Privacy Protection Agency; (v) upon reasonable request, will provide Client with the personal information in its possession, and correct any inaccurate Customer Data, that was obtained in Electriq’s capacity as a service provider and cooperate with Client in responding to verifiable consumer requests, though nothing herein shall obligate Electriq to respond to any consumer requests; (vi) notify Client if it engages a sub-processor to process Customer Data, and will enter into a contract with any such sub-processor that contains the same requirements as those set forth in this Section 5 (i) – (vii); and (vii) notify Client if it can no longer meet the foregoing obligations set forth in (i) – (vi), herein. Upon such notice, or upon its own reasonable determination that Electriq has used the Customer Data in violation of the terms of this Agreement or the CPRA, Client may, upon reasonable prior notice, take reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate the unauthorized use of Customer Data. Client agrees it shall not provide to Electriq any “sensitive personal information” as that term is defined by the CPRA.

Each Party shall take no less than reasonable measures to protect the other Party’s Confidential Information, including such measures taken by such Party to protect its own Confidential Information. Nothing in this Agreement will prevent either Party from using or continuing to use in the course of its business any general ideas, methodology, know-how or experience used or developed in the course of this Agreement.
