1.1 Governing SOW. The specific deliverables, features, technology stack, platforms, integrations, and milestones for this engagement are set forth in the Statement of Work attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "SOW"), which is incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the body of this Agreement and any SOW, the SOW shall control solely with respect to the subject matter addressed therein. 1.2 Completeness of Deliverables. Provider shall deliver only those features, pages, screens, integrations, and functionalities expressly described in the SOW. Any feature, function, content element, third-party integration, platform, or deliverable not listed in the SOW is out of scope and shall not be provided under this Agreement without a fully executed Change Order as provided in Section 2. 1.3 Explicit Exclusions. Without limiting Section 1.2, the following are expressly excluded from the scope of this Agreement unless separately specified in the SOW or a Change Order: (a) SEO optimization, copywriting, or content creation beyond placeholder or seed content identified in the SOW; (b) third-party service fees, API subscription costs, domain registration, SSL certificates, or hosting fees; (c) training, documentation, or post-launch support beyond any maintenance period defined in the SOW; (d) data migration from legacy systems unless expressly itemized; (e) accessibility remediation beyond the WCAG compliance level specified in the SOW; and (f) compatibility with browsers, operating systems, or devices not identified in the SOW. 1.4 Technology Stack. Provider shall use the technology stack identified in the SOW. Material deviations from the specified stack require Client's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. 1.5 SOW Amendments. The SOW may only be amended through a signed Change Order executed by both parties. No verbal instruction, email direction, or other informal communication shall expand, modify, or supersede the SOW. 1.6 Client Responsibilities. Client shall furnish all materials, assets, credentials, and approvals identified as Client-supplied in the SOW by the dates specified therein. Provider's timeline obligations are tolled day-for-day for each day Client is in default of any material supply or approval obligation.

2.1 Scope Lock. The SOW constitutes the complete and exclusive description of the work to be performed under this Agreement. No addition, deletion, or modification of scope takes effect unless documented in a Change Order signed by authorized representatives of both parties. 2.2 Change Order Process. Either party may propose a scope change by delivering a written change request to the other party's project contact. Within 3 business days of receipt, Provider shall deliver a written Change Order proposal specifying: (a) a description of the requested change; (b) any additions to or deletions from the deliverable list; (c) the additional or reduced fee, calculated at the rates set forth in the SOW or, if not specified, at Hourly rate for out-of-scope / additional work (e.g., "$175") per hour; (d) the revised milestone or delivery schedule; and (e) any impacts on dependencies, third-party integrations, or previously accepted work. The Change Order is not binding until signed by both parties. 2.3 No Work Until Signed. Provider shall not commence out-of-scope work until a Change Order is signed by both parties. Client shall not direct Provider to perform out-of-scope work orally or by informal communication, and any such direction does not create an obligation for Provider to perform or Client to pay. This Section constitutes a no-oral-modification clause within the meaning of applicable contract law. 2.4 Revision vs. New Work. A "Revision" is a modification to content or design within the scope of an already-approved deliverable that does not add functionality, pages, screens, integrations, or platform targets. "New Work" is any addition, substitution, or expansion that falls outside the approved deliverable list or requires material additional development effort. The SOW specifies the number of Revision rounds included at no additional charge for each deliverable. Additional Revision rounds beyond the included number are billed at the rate in Section 2.2(c) above. 2.5 Effect on Timeline. Each executed Change Order may extend affected milestone dates by the number of days necessary to accommodate the change, as specified in the Change Order. Changes that are additive to scope do not accelerate remaining milestone dates. 2.6 Pending Change Orders. While a Change Order is pending and unsigned, Provider may, at its election: (a) continue in-scope work unaffected by the proposed change; or (b) pause work on deliverables that depend on resolution of the pending change, without being deemed in breach, provided Provider notifies Client of the pause in writing within one business day.

3.1 Relationship of the Parties. Provider is an independent contractor of Client. Nothing in this Agreement creates or shall be construed to create an employment, partnership, joint venture, franchise, agency, or fiduciary relationship between the parties. Neither party is authorized to bind the other to any obligation, contract, or liability without the other's prior written consent. 3.2 No Employment Benefits or Withholding. Client shall not withhold or pay any federal, state, or local income taxes, Social Security taxes, unemployment taxes, disability insurance premiums, or other payroll taxes on behalf of Provider or any of Provider's personnel. Provider is solely responsible for all such obligations with respect to Provider and Provider's personnel. Client shall not provide Provider with any employment benefits, including without limitation health insurance, retirement benefits, vacation pay, sick pay, workers' compensation coverage, or stock options. 3.3 Provider's Personnel. Provider may engage subcontractors or employees to assist in performing the services, subject to any limitations in the SOW. Provider is solely responsible for the compensation, withholding, benefits, and classification of its own personnel and subcontractors. Provider warrants that it has properly classified all individuals performing services under this Agreement in compliance with applicable law. 3.4 Method and Means. Provider retains sole discretion over the method, manner, and means by which the services are performed, subject to Client's right to specify deliverable requirements, acceptance criteria, and project milestones. Client shall not direct Provider's work schedule, working hours, or working location except to the extent necessary to meet mutually agreed deadlines or to conduct required meetings. 3.5 Right to Perform Other Work. Provider retains the right to perform services for other clients during the term of this Agreement, provided such services do not violate any confidentiality or intellectual-property obligations under this Agreement.

4.1 Fee. Client shall pay Provider the total fee set forth in the SOW (the "Project Fee") in accordance with the milestone schedule in Section 4.2. All amounts are in Invoice Currency (e.g., USD, CAD, GBP) and are exclusive of applicable taxes. 4.2 Milestone Payment Schedule. Unless the SOW specifies a different schedule, the Project Fee is due as follows: (a) Deposit: Deposit Percentage (%)% of the Project Fee is due upon execution of this Agreement. The deposit is non-refundable once Provider commences work and represents compensation for reserving Provider's capacity. (b) [Remaining milestones as specified in SOW.] 4.3 Late Payment. Invoices not paid within 30 days of invoice date will accrue interest at 1.5% per month (or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less) from the due date until paid in full. Provider may also suspend Services upon 5 business days' written notice if any invoice remains unpaid for more than 10 days after the due date. 4.4 Price Changes During Contract Term. Provider may not unilaterally increase fees for work covered by a signed SOW. For any renewal, extension, or new SOW entered into after the initial SOW term, Provider shall provide written notice of any fee change at least 30 days before the proposed effective date. If Client does not accept the new fees in writing and the parties do not agree on pricing within 15 days of notice, either party may decline to enter into a new SOW without penalty. 4.5 Price Cap for Maintenance and Retainer Engagements. For ongoing maintenance or retainer engagements that auto-renew under Section Auto-Renewal Section Reference: (a) the monthly fee for any Renewal Term shall not exceed the current-term fee by more than Annual Price Escalation Cap (%)% without Client's prior written consent; (b) if Provider's proposed renewal fee exceeds this cap, Client may terminate the maintenance engagement with 30 days' written notice without a kill fee, effective at the end of the current term; and (c) the CPI-based adjustment index used, if any, shall be the US CPI-U as published for the most recent 12-month period ending June of the renewal year. 4.6 Disputed Invoices. Client may withhold payment of a genuinely disputed invoice item by providing Provider with written notice of the dispute within 10 days of the invoice date, identifying the disputed amount and the basis for the dispute. Undisputed amounts must be paid by the original due date. The parties shall attempt to resolve the dispute within 14 days of the dispute notice.

Third-Party Components; License Allocation; Dependency Risk 1. Identification of Third-Party Components. Prior to or concurrent with execution of the Statement of Work ("SOW"), Developer shall provide Client with a written schedule (the "Dependency Schedule") identifying all material third-party software, plugins, themes, libraries, APIs, SDKs, and other components (collectively, "Third-Party Components") that Developer reasonably anticipates incorporating into the Deliverables, together with the applicable license or subscription terms governing each component. The Dependency Schedule is incorporated into the SOW by reference. Developer shall promptly update the Dependency Schedule upon identifying any material new Third-Party Component during performance. 2. License Procurement — Client-Procures. (Client-Procures Model — insert if selected): For each Third-Party Component designated in the Dependency Schedule as requiring a paid license, Client shall procure, in its own name, all required licenses, subscriptions, and API keys before or promptly after execution of the SOW, and shall provide Developer with access credentials necessary to perform the Services. Developer is not responsible for the cost, procurement, renewal, or regulatory compliance of any Third-Party Component license. Developer shall use Third-Party Components only within the scope of the licenses provided by Client. (Agency-License Model — insert if selected): Developer may extend agency-tier or multi-site license access to Client for Third-Party Components held by Developer during the Engagement. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, such extended access shall automatically terminate, and Client shall procure its own licenses for any Third-Party Components it wishes to continue using within 30 calendar days following the effective date of termination. Developer shall have no liability for service interruptions, data loss, or functional degradation attributable to Client's failure to timely procure independent licenses. 3. Open-Source Components. The Dependency Schedule shall identify all open-source software incorporated into the Deliverables and the applicable open-source license (e.g., MIT, Apache 2.0, GPL v2/v3, LGPL) governing each component. Developer shall not incorporate any open-source component into the Deliverables in a manner that: (a) requires Client to release, license, or disclose Client's proprietary source code under an open-source license (including any GPL copyleft obligation) without Client's prior written consent; or (b) violates the terms of the applicable open-source license. Where a GPL-licensed theme or plugin is used, Developer shall disclose to Client any copyleft obligations that may apply to derivative works, including custom child themes or plugins, and obtain Client's written acknowledgment. 4. Post-Acceptance Dependency Changes. Developer does not warrant the continued availability, pricing, functionality, or terms of any Third-Party Component after the Acceptance Date. If, after the Acceptance Date, a Third-Party Component that is identified in the Dependency Schedule is deprecated, discontinued, materially modified, or made unavailable or economically impractical (including changes to API pricing, rate limits, or authentication requirements), and such change necessitates modifications to the Deliverables, such modifications shall be addressed through a Change Order and shall not constitute a warranty defect, provided that Developer's implementation of the affected component at the time of delivery was consistent with the component's then-current documentation and terms of use. 5. No Critical Single-Point-of-Failure Dependency. Without Client's prior written consent, Developer shall not architect the Deliverables such that a single Third-Party API, service, or component constitutes an unmitigated single point of failure for core functionality ("Critical Dependency"). Where a Critical Dependency is unavoidable or preferred by Client, Developer shall disclose such dependency in the Dependency Schedule, describe the associated risks in writing, and Client's written consent shall be documented in or attached to the SOW. 6. Developer's Compliance Obligation. Developer represents that, as of the Acceptance Date, Developer's use of each Third-Party Component in the Deliverables is consistent with the applicable license terms for such component. Developer's indemnification obligations under the Agreement with respect to third-party intellectual property claims shall not extend to claims arising from Third-Party Components themselves (as distinct from Developer's non-compliant use thereof), except to the extent such claims arise directly from Developer's material breach of a Third-Party Component's license terms.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY (a) Exclusion of Consequential Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither party will be liable to the other for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages — including lost profits, lost revenue, loss of business opportunity, loss of data, or harm to reputation — arising out of or related to this Agreement, even if the party has been advised of the possibility of such damages and even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. (b) Aggregate Cap. Each party's total aggregate liability to the other arising out of or related to this Agreement — whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise — will not exceed the total fees actually paid or payable by Client name / business name to Your name / business name during the Cap look-back period (months)-month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or Minimum cap floor amount (e.g. $5,000), whichever is greater. (c) Exceptions. The limitations in Sections (a) and (b) do not apply to: (i) a party's obligation to indemnify the other for third-party claims of intellectual property infringement under the Mutual Indemnification clause; (ii) liability arising from a party's gross negligence or willful misconduct; (iii) a party's obligations under the Data Protection and Confidentiality clauses with respect to a data breach caused by that party's failure to maintain reasonable security; or (iv) a party's obligation to pay amounts owed under this Agreement. (d) Basis of the Bargain. Each party acknowledges that the limitations in this Section reflect a reasonable allocation of risk, are an essential element of the basis of the bargain between the parties, and that Your name / business name would not have entered into this Agreement without these limitations.

GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; VENUE (a) Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising out of or related to it — including its formation, interpretation, performance, breach, or termination — will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Governing law state (e.g. New York), without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. (b) Consent to Jurisdiction. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Venue county (e.g. New York) County, Governing law state (e.g. New York) for any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement that is not subject to arbitration under the Dispute Resolution clause (if any). (c) Venue. Each party waives any objection to the laying of venue in the courts identified in Section (b), and waives any claim that such courts are an inconvenient forum. (d) Service of Process. Service of process in any such action may be made by any method authorized by the applicable court rules or by mailing a copy of the summons and complaint by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the party's address set forth in this Agreement. (e) Prevailing Party. In any dispute arising under this Agreement, the prevailing party is entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs from the non-prevailing party, unless the parties have agreed to a different allocation in the Dispute Resolution clause.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION (a) Good-Faith Negotiation. Before initiating any formal dispute proceeding, the parties will attempt to resolve any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement ("Dispute") through good-faith negotiation. Either party may initiate this step by delivering written notice to the other describing the Dispute in reasonable detail ("Dispute Notice"). Senior representatives of each party with authority to resolve the Dispute will meet (in person, by phone, or by videoconference) within 10 business days of the Dispute Notice and attempt to resolve the matter in good faith for a period of 30 business days from the date of the Dispute Notice (or longer, if agreed in writing). (b) Mediation. If the Dispute is not resolved through negotiation within the timeframe in Section (a), either party may submit it to non-binding mediation administered by Mediation provider (e.g. JAMS, AAA) (or, if the parties cannot agree on a provider, by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Mediation Procedures). The mediation will take place in Mediation city, Mediation state. The parties will share mediator fees equally. Each party will bear its own legal fees for the mediation. (c) Binding Arbitration. If the Dispute is not resolved through mediation within 60 days after the appointment of the mediator, either party may demand binding arbitration. Arbitration will be administered by Arbitration provider (e.g. JAMS, AAA) under its then-current Arbitration rules (e.g. Commercial Arbitration Rules), before a single arbitrator. The arbitration will take place in Arbitration city, Arbitration state. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that the arbitration — including its existence, proceedings, and any award — is confidential. (d) Exceptions to Arbitration. Either party may seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction without first completing the negotiation or mediation steps, to prevent irreparable harm — including to protect Confidential Information or intellectual property — pending the outcome of arbitration. (e) Small Claims. Either party may bring a Dispute in small claims court if the amount in controversy falls within that court's jurisdictional limit. (f) Class Action Waiver. Each party waives any right to bring or participate in any class action, class arbitration, or representative proceeding relating to this Agreement. (g) Governing Law for Arbitration.

It expressly excludes compliance issues arising from: (a) Client Content (as defined in the Statement of Work); (b) Client's business model, pricing, or in-app purchase structure; (c) Client's legal or regulatory status in any jurisdiction; or (d) any third-party SDK or service specified by Client.
