Master Services Agreement
This Agreement is written in plain language to ensure clarity and mutual respect. We believe in a collaborative, honest working relationship built on direct communication, realistic expectations, and mutual accountability. PowerPush is a results-driven system, not a magic wand — and this Agreement reflects that spirit.
1. DEFINITIONS
1.1 “Services” means the strategic, marketing, automation, and lead generation services, including but not limited to client research, CRM configuration, workflow creation, communication campaigns, dashboards, and related deliverables provided by the Service Provider as further described in one or more Statements of Work (“SOW”).
1.2 “Deliverables” means any outputs, assets, documentation, or configurations produced or provided by the Service Provider to the Client under this Agreement.
1.3 “Statement of Work” or “SOW” means a document signed by both Parties that defines the specific scope, fees, and deliverables for a particular engagement under this Agreement.
1.4 “Confidential Information” has the meaning set forth in the Service Provider’s standard Non-Disclosure Agreement (“NDA”), which shall be incorporated by reference. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, business strategies, systems, SOPs, client data, technical specifications, marketing plans, pricing, deliverables, presentations, internal communications, and any other non-public information disclosed in written, oral, or electronic form.
1.5 In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any applicable SOW, the terms of this Agreement shall govern unless the SOW expressly states that it overrides specific provisions of this Agreement.
2. SCOPE OF SERVICES
2.1 The Service Provider shall perform Services in accordance with the applicable SOW(s), which may reference deliverables from the PowerPush Platform’s standardized service tiers and fixed-scope strategic modules. Tier labels (Silver, Gold, Platinum) describe delivery groupings only. No tier includes future or unlisted modules unless specified in writing within the SOW. These include the five core Pillars—Market Research, Ideal Client Avatar, Lead Generation,Lead Conversion, and Client Retention & Referrals—each with defined deliverables by service tier (Silver, Gold, Platinum), as well as optional strategic modules, all of which may be selected and adapted per Client needs and SOW terms.
2.2 Each SOW shall specify the timeline, responsibilities, deliverables, and any third-party platforms or systems involved. Initial deliverables are typically completed within the first 30–45 business days following onboarding. However, full system implementation, optimization, and measurable results may extend across the full 90-day engagement period. The Service Provider agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to meet all delivery milestones, but shall not be liable for delays caused by Client inaction or external dependencies. Reasonable schedule adjustments may be made due to internal team availability, provided timely notice is given. Deliverables shall be deemed accepted if no written notice of defects or non-conformity is received within ten (10) business days of delivery or as otherwise stated in the applicable SOW.
2.3 Any additional work requested by the Client not covered in a current SOW must be documented in a new or amended SOW and approved in writing by both Parties. Changes may also be implemented through an authorized Change Order or Addendum signed by both Parties.
3. TERM AND TERMINATION
3.1 This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and remain in effect unless terminated in accordance with this section. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable SOW, the minimum commitment period shall be ninety (90) days from the Effective Date. Early termination during this period shall not release the Client from payment obligations for the full minimum term.
3.2 Either Party may terminate this Agreement with ninety (90) days written notice.
3.3 Either Party may terminate this Agreement or an individual SOW with thirty (30) days written notice in the event of a material breach by the other Party, provided such breach remains uncured at the end of the notice period.

4. FEES AND PAYMENT

4.4 Fees do not include applicable taxes, which will be the responsibility of the Client.
4.5 The Service Provider reserves the right to suspend Services if payment is not received within fifteen (15) days of the due date, and such suspension shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

Upon such termination, each Party shall return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other Party in its possession and confirm such action in writing within ten (10) business days. Delays in providing access, assets, or approvals may impact the agreed timeline and shall not constitute a breach by the Service Provider.

5.7 The Client is responsible for reviewing and testing all workflows, campaigns, or automations prior to deployment or external publication, and for ensuring all necessary approvals and assets have been provided in advance to prevent timeline delays. Deliverables may be subject to formal handoff or acceptance milestones as described in the applicable SOW.

6. OWNERSHIP AND LICENSE
6.1 All frameworks, processes, automations, and systems created by the Service Provider remain the intellectual property of the Service Provider unless expressly stated otherwise in the SOW. However, custom-developed deliverables that are created exclusively for the Client and not reused in other client environments may be jointly owned or transferred upon full payment, as specified in the applicable SOW.

Either Party may seek injunctive relief in the event of such breach without posting bond.

This cap applies in aggregate and not per incident. For any claim related to a fixed-fee or milestone-based SOW, the maximum liability shall be limited to the total amount paid by the Client under that specific SOW, and no cumulative remedies under any SOW shall exceed the fees paid for that SOW. Refunds or service credits shall not apply unless a material breach of deliverables is proven in arbitration or court.

The Client acknowledges that the use of such platforms is essential to service delivery and agrees that the Service Provider’s liability shall be limited to the configuration and deployment of these tools within the scope of the applicable SOW.
8.5 Each Party shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other Party from and against any third-party claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to that Party’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or material breach of this Agreement.
