8. Services and Engagement Terms

8.1 Scope of Services

HRDB Holdings LLC, through its trade name HRC Haul, provides computer integrated systems design and related professional technology consulting services. The specific scope, objectives, deliverables, timeline, and fees for any Services engagement shall be defined in a mutually executed Statement of Work (SOW). Each SOW, upon execution by both parties, shall be incorporated into and governed by these Terms. No Services shall be performed, and no obligation to pay shall arise, except pursuant to a duly executed SOW or other written agreement signed by both parties. We reserve the right to decline any project or engagement at our sole discretion, including where the proposed scope is inconsistent with our expertise, capacity, or professional standards.

8.2 Professional Standards

We shall perform the Services with due professional care, skill, and diligence, consistent with generally accepted industry standards for computer integrated systems design and technology consulting. We shall allocate qualified personnel to the engagement and shall maintain appropriate professional liability insurance coverage as is customary in our industry. All Services shall be performed in accordance with the specifications, milestones, and acceptance criteria set forth in the applicable SOW. We do not warrant that any Deliverable will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that it will satisfy all of the Client's requirements beyond those expressly specified in the SOW.

8.3 Client Obligations and Cooperation

The Client acknowledges that the successful and timely delivery of Services depends on the Client's full and timely cooperation. The Client agrees to: (a) provide us with accurate, complete, and timely information, data, and materials reasonably required for the performance of the Services; (b) designate a knowledgeable point of contact with authority to make decisions on behalf of the Client and to provide approvals and sign-offs within reasonable timeframes; (c) grant us access to the Client's systems, networks, facilities, and personnel as reasonably necessary for the performance of the Services, subject to the Client's reasonable security policies; (d) review and respond to Deliverables, inquiries, and requests for decisions in a timely manner; and (e) ensure that all information, materials, and access provided to us do not infringe any third-party rights. Any delay or failure by the Client to fulfill these obligations may result in corresponding delays in the project schedule, for which we shall not be responsible, and may result in additional charges as specified in the SOW.

8.4 Change Orders

Either party may propose changes to the scope of Services by submitting a written change request. We will evaluate the proposed change and, if feasible, prepare a change order describing the impact on scope, timeline, Deliverables, and fees. No change shall become effective unless and until a written change order is executed by both parties. Work on any change shall not commence until the change order is executed. If the Client requests work that is outside the original scope and a change order has not yet been executed, we may, at our discretion, perform such work on a time-and-materials basis at our then-current standard rates, subject to a cap agreed by the parties.

8.5 Acceptance of Deliverables

Upon delivery of each Deliverable, the Client shall have a specified review period (as defined in the SOW, typically fourteen calendar days) to evaluate the Deliverable against the acceptance criteria set forth in the SOW. The Client shall provide written notice of acceptance or a detailed list of non-conformities within the review period. If the Client fails to provide such notice within the review period, the Deliverable shall be deemed accepted. We shall use reasonable commercial efforts to remediate any valid non-conformities at no additional charge and resubmit the Deliverable for acceptance. This process shall continue until the Deliverable is accepted. If after a reasonable number of iterations the Deliverable cannot be brought into conformity due to factors beyond our control (including inadequate Client specifications or cooperation), we shall be entitled to treat the engagement as substantially complete and invoice for work performed to date.

8.6 Independent Contractor Status

HRDB Holdings LLC shall perform the Services as an independent contractor and not as an employee, agent, partner, or joint venturer of the Client. Nothing in these Terms shall create an employment, agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship between the parties. Neither party shall have the right or authority to bind or obligate the other party in any manner to any third party, or to make any representations, warranties, or commitments on behalf of the other party. We retain sole control over the manner, means, and methods by which the Services are performed, including the right to determine which personnel are assigned to the engagement, the tools and technologies used, and the work schedule, subject to the milestones and deadlines specified in the SOW. The Client shall not be entitled to any employee benefits or protections, including workers compensation, unemployment insurance, health insurance, or retirement benefits, from HRDB Holdings LLC.

9. Fees, Payment, and Billing

9.1 Fee Structure

The fees for Services shall be as specified in the applicable Statement of Work. Fees may be structured on a fixed-price, time-and-materials, retainer, milestone-based, or hybrid basis, as agreed between the parties. All fees are quoted and payable in United States Dollars (USD) unless otherwise expressly stated in the SOW. We reserve the right to modify our standard rates upon thirty (30) calendar days written notice, provided that any rate change shall not apply to SOWs executed prior to the effective date of the change.

9.2 Invoicing and Payment Terms

We will invoice the Client in accordance with the payment schedule set forth in the SOW. Unless otherwise specified, invoices are due and payable within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of invoice. Payments shall be made by wire transfer, ACH, company check, or other method specified in the SOW, to the account designated by us. The Client is responsible for all bank charges, wire transfer fees, and currency conversion costs associated with payment. If any invoiced amount is not paid by the due date, we reserve the right to: (a) charge interest on the overdue amount at a rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower, calculated from the due date until the date payment is received in full; (b) suspend performance of the Services until all overdue amounts are paid in full; and (c) recover from the Client all costs and expenses incurred by us in collecting the overdue amount, including reasonable attorneys fees, court costs, and collection agency fees.

9.3 Taxes

All fees are exclusive of all applicable taxes, levies, duties, and assessments imposed by any governmental authority (collectively, Taxes). The Client is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with the Services, other than taxes based on our net income, capital, or gross revenue. If we have a legal obligation to collect or remit Taxes for which the Client is responsible, we will invoice the Client for such Taxes, and the Client shall pay such amounts unless the Client provides us with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. The Client shall indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any liability for Taxes, penalties, and interest arising from the Client's failure to pay Taxes for which it is responsible.

9.4 Expenses

Unless otherwise provided in the SOW, the Client shall reimburse us for all reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by us in connection with the performance of the Services, including travel, lodging, meals, shipping, telecommunications, and third-party software licenses or subscriptions purchased for the Client's benefit. Expenses in excess of any threshold specified in the SOW require the Client's prior written approval. We shall maintain and provide reasonable supporting documentation for all expenses that are invoiced to the Client.

9.5 Disputed Charges

If the Client disputes any charge or invoice in good faith, the Client must notify us in writing within fifteen (15) calendar days of receiving the invoice, specifying the nature and amount of the dispute with reasonable detail. The Client shall pay all undisputed portions of the invoice by the due date. The parties shall work together in good faith to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) calendar days. Failure to notify us of a dispute within the specified period shall constitute the Client's acceptance of the invoice as accurate and binding.

10. Confidentiality Obligations

10.1 Definition and Scope

Confidential Information means all non-public information disclosed by one party (the Disclosing Party) to the other party (the Receiving Party) in connection with these Terms and any Services engagement, whether disclosed orally, in writing, electronically, or through any other medium, that is designated in writing as confidential or that, given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure, reasonably should be understood to be confidential. Confidential Information of HRDB Holdings LLC includes, but is not limited to: our methodologies, tools, templates, frameworks, know-how, business processes, pricing information, client lists, technical architectures, source code, algorithms, proprietary software, strategic plans, financial information, and personnel information. Confidential Information of the Client includes, but is not limited to: business plans, financial data, customer information, employee data, technical specifications, system architectures, network diagrams, credentials, trade secrets, and any personally identifiable information provided in the course of the engagement.

10.2 Obligations of Confidentiality

The Receiving Party shall: (a) hold the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information in strict confidence and use at least the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature, but in no event less than reasonable care; (b) not disclose, distribute, reproduce, or disseminate the Confidential Information to any third party without the Disclosing Party's prior written consent; (c) use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of performing its obligations or exercising its rights under these Terms (the Permitted Purpose); (d) limit access to the Confidential Information to those employees, officers, directors, agents, and subcontractors who have a legitimate need to know the information for the Permitted Purpose and who are bound by written confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those contained herein; and (e) promptly notify the Disclosing Party upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information and cooperate with the Disclosing Party in remedying such unauthorized use or disclosure.

10.3 Exclusions from Confidentiality

The obligations set forth in this Section 10 shall not apply to information that the Receiving Party can demonstrate by competent written evidence: (a) was already known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure without an obligation of confidentiality; (b) is or becomes publicly available through no fault or breach of these Terms by the Receiving Party; (c) is rightfully received by the Receiving Party from a third party without an obligation of confidentiality; or (d) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to, reliance upon, or use of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information. Disclosure of Confidential Information shall not be precluded if such disclosure is required by applicable law, regulation, or a valid court order or administrative subpoena, provided that the Receiving Party, to the extent legally permissible, gives the Disclosing Party prompt written notice of such requirement prior to disclosure so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, and the Receiving Party discloses only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed.

10.4 Return or Destruction

Upon the Disclosing Party's written request or upon expiration or termination of the applicable SOW, the Receiving Party shall, at the Disclosing Party's election, either return or securely destroy all copies of the Confidential Information in its possession or control, except that the Receiving Party may retain one archival copy of the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of demonstrating compliance with these obligations, for resolving disputes, or as required by applicable law, regulation, or professional standards. Any retained copies shall remain subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth herein indefinitely. Upon request, the Receiving Party shall provide a written certification, signed by an authorized officer, confirming the return or destruction of the Confidential Information.

10.5 Injunctive Relief

Each party acknowledges that the unauthorized use or disclosure of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Section 10, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, specific performance, or any other equitable remedy, without the necessity of posting a bond or proving actual damages, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall HRDB Holdings LLC, its affiliates, members, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, suppliers, licensors, or service providers be liable under any theory of liability — whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, breach of statutory duty, indemnity, contribution, or any other legal or equitable theory — for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, punitive, or enhanced damages, including without limitation damages for loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of business or business interruption, loss of anticipated savings, loss of use, loss of goodwill or business reputation, loss of data or corruption of data, cost of procurement of substitute goods or services, or any other intangible or economic loss, arising out of or in connection with these Terms, the Site, or the Services, whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages and regardless of whether the remedy otherwise available fails of its essential purpose.

13.2 Aggregate Liability Cap

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the total aggregate liability of HRDB Holdings LLC and its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, suppliers, and licensors, for all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or the Services, whether based in contract, tort, or any other theory, shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the total amount of fees actually paid by you to HRDB Holdings LLC during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or (b) one hundred United States Dollars (USD $100.00). The existence of more than one claim shall not enlarge this limitation. The parties acknowledge and agree that the limitation of liability set forth in this Section is a fundamental element of the basis of the bargain between the parties, and that HRDB Holdings LLC would not enter into this Agreement or provide the Site and Services without such limitation.

13.3 Exceptions

The limitations of liability set forth in this Section 13 shall not apply to: (a) a party's fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or willful misconduct; (b) a party's breach of its confidentiality obligations under Section 10; (c) a party's infringement or misappropriation of the other party's intellectual property rights; (d) a party's indemnification obligations under Section 14; or (e) any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

13.4 Allocation of Risk

You acknowledge and agree that the disclaimers of warranty, limitations of liability, and other provisions in these Terms reflect a fair and reasonable allocation of risk between the parties, and that these provisions form an essential basis of the bargain. The fees for the Services have been set in reliance upon these risk allocations, and any modification or invalidation of these provisions would fundamentally alter the economic terms of the Agreement.

14. Indemnification

14.1 Indemnification by You

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless HRDB Holdings LLC and its affiliates, and each of their respective members, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns (each, an Indemnified Party), from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, suits, proceedings, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees, expert witness fees, and court costs) arising out of, resulting from, or relating to:

• Your use of or access to the Site or Services, including any use by a third party using your account credentials;
• Your User Content, including any claim that your User Content infringes, misappropriates, or violates any third party's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights;
• Your violation or breach of any provision of these Terms, including any representation, warranty, or covenant made by you herein;
• Your violation of any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right;
• Any intentional, reckless, negligent, or wrongful act or omission by you, your employees, agents, or subcontractors;
• Any claim arising from a dispute between you and any third party, including another user of the Site, any Client, or any vendor;
• Any claim that any information, materials, or specifications provided by you to us for incorporation into the Services or Deliverables infringes any third-party intellectual property right or violates any applicable law;
• Any claim related to your failure to obtain any necessary consent, authorization, or license for materials, data, or resources used in connection with the Services.

14.2 Indemnification Procedure

The Indemnified Party shall: (a) promptly notify you in writing of any claim for which indemnification is sought, provided that any delay in notification shall not relieve you of your obligations hereunder except to the extent you are materially prejudiced by such delay; (b) reasonably cooperate with you at your expense in the defense of such claim; and (c) give you sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim, provided that you shall not settle any claim in a manner that admits fault, liability, or wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnified Party or imposes any obligation on the Indemnified Party without the Indemnified Party's prior written consent. The Indemnified Party may participate in the defense at its own expense with counsel of its own choosing.

14.3 Our Indemnification

We agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless you from and against any third-party claim that the Deliverables, as delivered and when used in accordance with these Terms and the SOW, infringe any United States patent, copyright, or trade secret of such third party. This indemnity shall not apply to the extent the claim arises from: (a) any modification of the Deliverables by anyone other than us; (b) the combination, operation, or use of the Deliverables with products, services, data, or materials not provided or approved by us, where the infringement would not have occurred but for such combination; (c) your failure to use updates, modifications, or replacements provided by us that would have avoided the infringement; (d) your continued use of the infringing Deliverables after being notified of the infringement and offered a non-infringing alternative; or (e) any Deliverables created in accordance with your specifications or instructions, where compliance with such specifications or instructions necessarily resulted in the infringement. If a Deliverable becomes, or in our opinion is likely to become, the subject of an infringement claim, we may, at our option and expense: procure for you the right to continue using the Deliverable; modify the Deliverable so that it becomes non-infringing while retaining substantially equivalent functionality; replace the Deliverable with a functionally equivalent non-infringing alternative; or, if none of the foregoing is commercially feasible, terminate the applicable SOW and refund you a pro-rata portion of the fees paid for the infringing Deliverable.

15. Termination and Suspension

15.1 Termination for Convenience

Either party may terminate any Statement of Work for convenience by providing the other party with written notice at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the intended termination date. In the event of termination for convenience by the Client, the Client shall pay us for all Services performed up to the effective date of termination, including work in progress, and for all irrevocable commitments and non-cancellable expenses incurred by us in connection with the SOW prior to receiving notice of termination. In the event of termination for convenience by us, we shall refund to the Client a pro-rata portion of any prepaid fees corresponding to Services not yet performed, less any non-cancellable expenses.

15.2 Termination for Cause

Either party may terminate any SOW or these Terms immediately by written notice if the other party commits a material breach of these Terms or the SOW and, where the breach is capable of remedy, fails to remedy such breach within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving written notice describing the breach in reasonable detail and demanding its cure. A material breach includes, but is not limited to: failure to pay undisputed fees when due; failure to perform Services in accordance with the SOW and professional standards; unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information; infringement of intellectual property rights; and violation of applicable law in connection with the performance of the Agreement.

15.3 Immediate Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Site and Services immediately, without prior notice or liability, in our sole discretion, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation: (a) if we believe that you have violated any provision of these Terms; (b) if we believe that your conduct poses a risk of harm to us, other users, or third parties; (c) if we are required to do so by law or by a regulatory authority; (d) if you become the subject of a bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or similar proceeding; (e) if you cease to conduct business in the ordinary course; or (f) if we decide to discontinue the Site or any Services offering. All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including but not limited to ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification obligations, and dispute resolution provisions.

15.4 Effects of Termination

Upon termination of these Terms or any SOW: (a) your right to access and use the Site and Services shall immediately cease; (b) we may deactivate, delete, or disable your account and all related information and files, subject to our data retention policies and legal obligations; (c) you shall promptly pay all outstanding fees and expenses accrued through the effective date of termination; (d) each party shall, at the other party's election, return or destroy the other party's Confidential Information in accordance with Section 10; (e) any provisions of these Terms that by their nature and context are intended to survive termination shall so survive, including but not limited to Sections 6, 7, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, and 19. Termination shall not affect any accrued rights or liabilities of either party as of the effective date of termination, nor shall it prejudice any other remedies available at law or in equity.

16. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

16.1 Informal Resolution

In the interest of resolving disputes in the most efficient and cost-effective manner, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or the Services (collectively, Disputes) informally. Before initiating any formal legal action, the complaining party shall send the other party a written notice describing the nature and basis of the Dispute in reasonable detail and identifying the specific relief sought (a Dispute Notice). Following receipt of the Dispute Notice, the parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of at least sixty (60) calendar days to attempt to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution. Dispute Notices to HRDB Holdings LLC shall be sent to feedback@hrchaul.buzz with the subject line — Dispute Resolution Request. If the Dispute is not resolved within the sixty-day period, either party may proceed to arbitration as set forth below.

16.2 Binding Arbitration

Any Dispute that cannot be resolved through informal negotiation shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures then in effect, except as modified by this Section. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties, or, if the parties cannot agree, appointed by the AAA in accordance with its rules. The arbitration shall take place in Salt Lake County, Utah, unless the parties mutually agree to a different location or to a virtual proceeding. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award any relief that would be available in a court of competent jurisdiction, including injunctive relief, but shall not have the authority to award punitive, exemplary, or enhanced damages except where expressly authorized by applicable statute. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

16.3 Class Action and Jury Trial Waivers

16.4 Exceptions to Arbitration

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the infringement, misappropriation, or violation of its intellectual property rights or the unauthorized disclosure of its Confidential Information, without first engaging in the informal resolution process or arbitration described above. Either party may also file a claim in small claims court in Salt Lake County, Utah, provided the claim falls within the jurisdictional limit of that court. In the event of any court proceeding permitted under this paragraph, the parties irrevocably consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Utah County, Utah.

16.5 Costs of Arbitration

Each party shall bear its own attorneys fees, costs, and expenses associated with the arbitration, provided that the arbitrator may award the prevailing party its reasonable costs and attorneys fees if authorized by applicable law or by these Terms. The parties shall share equally the fees and expenses of the AAA and the arbitrator, unless the arbitrator determines that such allocation would be inequitable under the circumstances, in which case the arbitrator may reallocate such fees in the award.

16.6 Confidentiality of Arbitration

All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the existence of the Dispute, the content of the pleadings, the evidence presented, the conduct of the hearing, and the award of the arbitrator, shall be kept strictly confidential by the parties and the arbitrator, and shall not be disclosed to any third party except as necessary to enforce the award, as required by law, or with the prior written consent of all parties.

17. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

17.1 Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or the Services — including tort claims, statutory claims, and questions of formation, validity, interpretation, performance, breach, or termination — shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Utah, United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law rules or principles that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is expressly excluded and shall not apply to these Terms or any transaction contemplated hereunder.

17.2 Jurisdiction for Court Proceedings

Subject to the mandatory arbitration provisions set forth in Section 16, if any Dispute is permitted by these Terms to be brought in court (including for the purpose of seeking injunctive relief or confirming or enforcing an arbitration award), each party irrevocably and unconditionally: (a) submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state courts located in Utah County, Utah, and the federal courts of the United States located in the District of Utah; (b) waives any objection to venue in any such court, including any objection based on forum non conveniens; and (c) agrees that a final judgment in any such proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

17.3 Time Limitation for Claims

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any claim, cause of action, or dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services must be filed within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arose, or the date upon which the claimant knew or should reasonably have known of the facts giving rise to the claim, whichever is earlier. Any claim not filed within this limitation period shall be permanently barred, regardless of any statute of limitations or other limitation period to the contrary.

17.4 Waiver of Sovereign Immunity

If you are a government entity or agency, or an entity claiming sovereign or governmental immunity, you expressly and irrevocably waive any sovereign immunity, governmental immunity, or similar defense in connection with any Dispute arising under these Terms, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. This waiver is intended to apply to both pre-judgment and post-judgment proceedings.

18. Changes to These Terms

18.1 Our Right to Modify

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify, amend, supplement, or replace these Terms at any time.

By continuing to access or use the Site or Services after the effective date of any revised Terms, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the modified Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue accessing and using the Site and Services. If you are a Client with an active SOW, material changes to these Terms shall not apply retroactively to that SOW unless you expressly agree in writing; however, the Terms in effect at the time the SOW was executed shall continue to govern that engagement.

19.3 Waiver

No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under these Terms shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.
