APPLICABILITY
Effective Date. These Terms and Conditions shall be effective as of the date that Customer signs a Contract or when Velociti begins performance of Services, whichever is earlier (the “Effective Date”).
THE FAILURE BY CUSTOMER TO RETURN A SIGNED COPY OF A CONTRACT DOES NOT RELIEVE CUSTOMER OF CUSTOMER’S OBLIGATIONS AS SET FORTH HEREIN ONCE VELOCITI BEGINS PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES.
SERVICES AND PRODUCTS
Contract Assumptions. All Contracts are contingent on the below “Assumptions”:
Pricing is inclusive of labor, expenses, project management, schedule creation, coordination, quality control, and data collection.
Customer account setup and credit verification must be completed prior to the provision of Services.
An executed Contract and, if applicable, a credit card authorization form, will be required prior to the provision of Services. If Customer uses a credit card to pay Velociti, a four percent (4%) service fee will be added to the total invoice.
Unless otherwise stated therein, pricing listed in any Contract applies to the contiguous United States only. Services rendered outside the contiguous United States will be quoted on a per project basis.
Pricing is contingent upon Velociti receiving access to all Customer sites, assets, hardware, and technical support from hardware vendor(s) necessary to allow Velociti to perform the Services in accordance with the quantities and schedule agreed upon in the Contract. Missed or rescheduled installations caused by a Service Restriction and not caused by Velociti will be billed at existing rates and will be documented as “no-shows.” “Service Restrictions” means the following:
Inability to gain unrestricted access to assets for installations;
Inability to gain unrestricted access to installation sites;
Unavailability of hardware required to perform installation;
Delay in activation of systems;
Delay in receiving technical support provided by Customer or Customer’s hardware providers;
Inclement weather deemed hazardous to a technician (when no indoor facilities are available); or
Troubleshooting or repair of previously installed hardware, not caused by Velociti.
Approved travel between installation sites, which is required to occur during the project schedule, will also be billed at existing rates.
Additional visits to a site to perform Services as a result of a no-show will require an additional quote or change order prior to proceeding.
All system hardware and installation consumables must be onsite and available for use prior to scheduling technician(s). In the event Velociti is requested to provide additional installation consumables, additional charges will apply.
Any hardware related failures, which are unable to be remedied by troubleshooting at the time of the initial provision of Services will not be the responsibility of Velociti and will be subject to additional charges.
Suitable facilities must be provided for installation services. Inclement weather may result in delays beyond Velociti’s control. Indoor facilities provided by Customer may mitigate any potential delays. Delays can result in additional days and costs required to complete the agreed upon scope of work which will be communicated as they occur.
Technician dispatch requires a four (4) week lead time from Contract acceptance, receipt of purchase order, or executed agreement.
Services and the Contract. Velociti will provide to Customer the Services set out in any Contract. Each Contract will be deemed to incorporate these Terms and Conditions and will include: (1) a scope of work ; (2) a description of the Services to be provided; (3) a description of the Products, if any; (4) the fees and expenses to be paid by Customer for the Services and Products (the “Fees”); (5) the projected schedule for the Services; and (6) any additional terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties.
Schedule; Changes. All statements and agreements concerning time are good faith estimates based upon information available and circumstances existing at the time made, and the Contract is subject to equitable adjustment upon any material change in such information or circumstances, the occurrence of an excusable delay (as provided for below in Section 3(d) or upon modification of the Assumptions, scope, timing or level of work to be performed by Velociti. In addition, either party will be entitled to propose changes. It is mutually acknowledged that any proposed change may affect the Fees (as defined above) payable to Velociti and/or the project schedule. Neither party will have any obligation with respect to any proposed change until an appropriate change order or amendment to the Contract is executed by both parties. Customer shall authorize change orders in a timely manner to ensure scope-of-work schedules are adhered to.
Excusable Delays. Velociti will be excused from delays in performing, or from a failure to perform, hereunder to the extent that any such delay or failure results from causes beyond Velociti’s reasonable control. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer acknowledges that each of the following will be considered grounds for an excusable delay or excusable failure to perform hereunder and may impede or delay Velociti’s performance of the Services: (1) Customer’s failures or delay in furnishing necessary information, equipment, or access to facilities; (2) failures or delays by Customer in completing tasks required of Customer or in otherwise performing Customer’s obligations (including approving change orders); (3) failures or delays caused by inclement weather; and (4) any Assumption that proves to be untrue or incorrect. Once a technician arrives at a site, delays due to a Service Restriction which require the technician to remain at the site longer than expected based on the Services to be performed may result in a billable delay to Customer. In the event immediate resolution of the delay cannot be reached with Customer, additional charges will apply. Such delays will be documented by the technician within the data collection process.
Velogic Platform. Velociti hereby grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable right to access and use the Velogic Platform during the Term, solely for Customer’s internal use in connection with the provision of Services. The Velogic Platform is provided to Customer “as-is”, without any warranties or indemnities of any kind.

Such claim must contain sufficient information to identify the Goods as to which the claim is being made, the basis of the claim, and the amount of the claim.
All claims for overcharge shall be deemed waived if not presented to Velociti within one hundred eighty (180) days of the original invoice date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an account is more than sixty (60) days past due, Velociti may apply overpayments, or other credits owed to Customer, against the oldest dated invoices.
All claims are to be submitted in writing by certified mail to the following physical and/or email address: Velociti LLC, 4780 NW 41st Street, Suite 500 Riverside, MO 64150, Attn: Legal Department, legal@www.velociti.com.

With respect to all shipments of Goods, Customer has the option to purchase insurance or declare a higher value for such Goods by paying additional compensation to increase the limits of liability as indicated above. GOODS WILL NOT BE INSURED OR HIGHER VALUE WILL NOT BE DECLARED UNLESS REQUESTED BY CUSTOMER IN WRITING AND CONFIRMED BY VELOCITI IN WRITING.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION TO THE CONTRARY, VELOCITI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DELAY UNLESS THE PARTIES HAVE OTHERWISE AGREED IN WRITING. SHOULD THE INSURER OR UNDERWRITER DISPUTE COVERAGE OR LIABILITY FOR ANY REASON, CUSTOMER SHALL HAVE RECOURSE AGAINST THE INSURER OR UNDERWRITER ONLY, AND VELOCITI SHALL NOT BE UNDER ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY IN RELATION THERETO.
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. Section 14101(b)(1), Customer and Velociti expressly waive any and all rights and remedies that each may have under 49 U.S.C. §§ 13101 through 14914 that are contrary to specific provisions of these Terms and Conditions.
The provisions of this Section shall survive termination or expiration of these Terms and Conditions.
As to all shipments of Goods hereunder, claims for loss, damage or non-delivery must be made within nine (9) months of the shipping date, or such claims shall be deemed to be waived. Original shipping carton and contents must be retained by consignee for inspection. Acceptance of Goods by recipient without noting damage on the delivery notice shall be conclusive evidence that such Goods were delivered in good condition and without damage. In the event a claim is disallowed, any civil action by Customer must be brought within two (2) years from written notice of such disallowance.
As to all International shipments, in no event shall Velociti be liable for any act, omission or default by it in connection with an exportation or importation of Goods, unless a claim therefor shall be presented to Velociti within one hundred eighty (180) days from date of exportation or importation of the Goods in a written statement to which sworn proof of claim shall be attached.
All claims for overcharge shall be deemed waived if not presented to Velociti within one hundred eighty (180) days of the original invoice date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an account is more than sixty (60) days past due, Velociti may apply overpayments, or other credits owed to Customer, against the oldest dated invoices.
All claims are to be submitted in writing by certified mail to the following physical and/or email address: Velociti LLC, 4780 NW 41st Street, Suite 500 Riverside, MO 64150, Attn: Legal Department, legal@www.velociti.com. Claims for loss, damage or non-delivery will not be fully processed until the applicable freight invoice has been paid.
In the event Velociti pays a claim, Velociti shall be entitled to possession of the portion of the shipment for which the claim was made and shall be under no obligation to return any portion of the shipment to Customer or other parties. Velociti shall be entitled to salvage any such portion of the shipment and shall be under no obligation to return any salvaged proceeds to Customer or other parties. The failure to provide the salvage shall be a bar to recovery of such claim. Finally, if Velociti pays a claim and Customer or a third party later salvages that portion of the shipment for which the claim was made, Velociti shall be entitled to a refund, up to the amount of the claim paid by Velociti.
Velociti may open and inspect Goods at any time prior to delivery, including pursuant to the security requirements of the Transportation Security Administration of the US government.
Velociti is authorized to select and engage carriers, truckers, forwarders, customhouse brokers, agents, warehousemen and others as may be required, to transport, store, deal with and deliver the Goods. The Goods may be entrusted to such parties subject to all conditions as to limitations of liability for loss, damage or delay and to all rules, regulations, requirements and conditions, whether printed, written or stamped, appearing in bills of lading, receipts or tariffs issued by such carriers, truckers, forwarders, customhouse brokers, agents, warehousemen and others. Customer hereby authorizes Velociti to use any alternative mode of transport for any reason in order to attempt to meet the service levels requested by Customer.
Velociti reserves the right to reject a shipment at any time when such shipment is from an unknown customer, such shipment may cause damage to or delay other shipments, equipment or personnel, if transportation of such shipment is prohibited by applicable law or regulation, or such shipment otherwise does not comply with the terms of the applicable bill of lading.
There are certain types of articles that are either on the list of prohibited items which will never be accepted for transport by Velociti, or which will not be accepted for carriage without the prior knowledge and written approval from Velociti. The following is a list of such prohibited cargo(s) any shipment prohibited by law; firearms; certain types of dangerous goods; original works of art, antiques; bonds; coins of any kind; currency; currency equivalents; furs; fur clothing; gems or stones (cut or uncut); industrial diamonds; gold or silver; coined concentrates; jewelry (other than costume jewelry); pearls; precious metals; securities (negotiable); time sensitive written material (e.g. bids, contract proposals, etc. when the declared value exceeds USD $0.50 per pound); one-of-a-kind articles or models; prototypes; valuable rugs (i.e. Oriental rugs, Persian rugs) and prints or lithographs and household goods and/or personal effects when the total declared value of the shipment exceeds USD $500 or when the declared value exceeds USD $0.50 per pound, per piece. Velociti shall not be liable for any loss, damage, delay, liabilities, penalties or fines resulting from the transportation of any of the foregoing articles, however described or mis-described in the Bill of Lading (including unacceptable descriptions such as “FAK”), and no employee or agent of Velociti has any authority to waive the limitations herein contained. Velociti retains the right to refuse any such shipment prior to acceptance. In the event Velociti discovers, after acceptance of a shipment, that the shipment contains any of the herein mentioned articles, it reserves the right to refuse the shipment, or if already in transit, to refuse to deliver the shipment to the Consignee. Customer agrees to pay all expenses, freight charges, fines and penalties for said shipment. Customer further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Velociti from any and all loss, damage, delay, liabilities, penalties or fines arising out of or related in any way to shipments containing any of the items described in this Section.
