Harvest ERP Terms of Service

Harvest ERP Terms of Service

  1. Agreement. By using the Harvest Food Solutions LLC (“Harvest”) Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) application, software or portal (each, a “Harvest ERP Solution”), you (“Customer”) agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and all exhibits and appendices hereto (collectively, the “Agreement”).  Customer may only use the Harvest ERP Solution in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and Customer’s use of any Harvest ERP Solution signifies Customer’s assent to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.  If Customer does not agree to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement, then Customer may not use any of the Harvest ERP Offerings (as defined below), and Customer must immediately inform Harvest of its decision prior to Customer’s first use of any Harvest ERP Solution.

 

  1. License. Subject to Customer’s strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Harvest grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, limited license to use the Harvest ERP Solution for the Term in the Territory only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and all other Harvest policies and third-party policies and agreements specifically referenced in this Agreement.  This license is a personal license limited to only Customer and its Users, and may not be used or accessed by any Affiliate of Customer or any other third-party unless such Affiliate or third-party enters into a separate Agreement with Harvest.  “User” means Customer, Customer’s employees or service providers or any third party/person accessing the Harvest ERP Offerings at Customer’s direction or in furtherance of Customer’s business or interest.  If Customer desires to add or change a license for any User, it shall submit such request to Harvest, and Harvest shall add or change the license for such User in the Harvest ERP Solution for Customer.  Customer acknowledges that it has not relied on the future availability of any new  programs, services, functionality, features or updates (“Future Updates”) in the Harvest ERP Solution and Customer will ensure that its Users acknowledge that they have not relied on the availability of Future Updates.  “Affiliate” means any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, another entity. An entity “controls” another if it owns directly or indirectly a sufficient voting interest to elect a majority of the directors or managing authority or otherwise direct the affairs or management of the entity.  “Territory” means the Untied States of America, Canada and Mexico, and their territories.

 

  1. Fees.

 

  • Harvest will provide Customer with a written quote (“Quote”) that sets forth fees for the Harvest ERP Solution. Harvest may also elect to include in the Quote certain fees for training, implementation, products, support or other services (together with the Harvest ERP Solution, collectively, the “Harvest ERP Offerings”).  Harvest may elect, in its sole discretion, to provide a subsequent statement of work (“SOW”) with respect to any licenses, sales, software, hardware, services or products set forth in any Quote.  In the event of any conflict between any Quote and any SOW, the terms of the SOW shall govern and prevail.  Customer is responsible for timely payment of all fees (“Fees”) and costs and expenses (“Costs”) set forth in the Quote, or SOW (if applicable).  Any payment by Customer of any Fees or Costs made more than thirty (30) days following the date on which such payment is due shall accrue interest at a rate of 1.5% per month, or the maximum interest rate permitted under the law, whichever is less.

 

  • The license to use the Harvest ERP Solution shall be billed on a monthly basis. The calculation of fees and billing may vary from month-to-month, based on changes made by software licensors and providers.  Harvest will provide Customer with notice of such Fee or Cost increase prior to the first invoice that reflects such change.

 

  1. Services. Harvest may agree to undertake certain implementation, training, support or other services (collectively “Services”), as more particularly set forth in the Quote, or any SOW issued by Harvest that arises from the Quote, on condition that Customer is in compliance with its obligations arising under this Agreement.  Harvest shall not be required to provide any Services unless specifically set forth in the Quote or SOW.  Any support Services shall only be provided by Harvest to Customer in accordance with the applicable Harvest support plan (“Support Plan”), and the scope, terms and conditions of those support Services shall be as set forth in the particular Harvest Support Plan and Harvest Services and Support Agreement, if any.

 

  1. IP Ownership; Third-Party Licenses. As between Customer and Harvest, Harvest owns all right, title and interest in and to the Harvest ERP Offerings.  Certain components of the Harvest ERP Solution are owned by third parties, under license to Harvest, and Harvest does not provide Customer with any rights that are broader than those licensed to Harvest by such third parties.  Customer may provide certain suggestions or feedback (“Feedback”) to Harvest for improvements or modifications to any of the Harvest ERP Offerings.  To the extent that Customer provides any Feedback to Harvest, Customer hereby assigns to Harvest all right, title and interest in and to such Feedback.  Harvest shall be the sole owner of any such Feedback. Customer is responsible for the accuracy, quality, and legality of any content provided by Customer in its use of the Services (“Customer Content”), and for the means by which Customer acquired any content delivered to Harvest. Customer warrants that Customer Content does not and will not violate third-party rights of any kind, including without limitation any intellectual property rights or rights of publicity and privacy.
