You retain Hunt Interaction to provide, and Hunt Interaction agrees to provide, the services set forth as described on the services detail page prior to submitting payment.  Hunt Interaction agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts and diligence, as well as good faith, in the performance of the Services and to devote such time and energy to the Services as may be required to provide the Services in a timely manner.

Section 2 - Consulting Relationship.

1. Independent Contractor.  Hunt Interaction is an independent contractor providing services to you.  Hunt Interaction is not your employee and you will not control the manner or means by which Hunt Interaction performs the Services, including but not limited to the time and place Hunt Interaction performs the Services.  Hunt Interaction has no authority under this Agreement to act on behalf of you or to bind you by contract or otherwise. 
2. Employment Taxes and Benefits.  Hunt Interaction acknowledges that it will receive an IRS Form 1099-MISC from you with respect to all amounts paid under this Agreement. As an independent contractor, Hunt Interaction is solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes and withholdings arising from payments to or by Hunt Interaction under this Agreement.  Hunt Interaction is solely responsible for worker’s compensation, disability benefits, unemployment insurance, withholding taxes, social security, or other similar statutory obligations for Hunt Interaction and Hunt Interaction’s employees and other agents. 

Section 3 - Term.   

This Agreement commences on the Purchase Date and continues until all deliverables are provided to the client. 

Section 4 - Fees; Deposit; Invoicing.  

1. Fees. As compensation for the Services and the rights granted to you under this Agreement, you will pay the total amount of fees set forth on the checkout page, the Services (the “Fee”) in the manner set forth in this Section 4. The checkout page will state whether the Fee will be payable as a single, project-based payment (a “Project Fee”) or as a multiple-part payment.

Section 5 -  Additional Expenses.   

You agree to either, in Hunt Interaction’s discretion, pay directly to the applicable third parties or reimburse Hunt Interaction for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of the Services, which could include expenses related to stock imagery, printing, hosting, software licenses or applications, and any other materials relating to the foregoing (the “Additional Expenses”).

Section 6 - Late Payment; Delays.   

Your obligation to pay Hunt Interaction for amounts due under this Agreement is independent of your receipt of payment from other sources. You agree to pay all amounts due under this Agreement on or before the date such amount becomes due. In the event you do not pay any amount due under this Agreement on time (each, a “Late Payment”), you acknowledge and agree:

1. you will pay interest on such Late Payment at the lesser of the rate of 2.0% per month or the highest rate permitted under applicable law;
2. you will pay an administrative fee of $50.00 to reimburse Hunt Interaction for administrative expenses incurred in connection with accepting and processing such Late Payment;
3. Hunt Interaction is entitled to cease providing the Services unless and until all Late Payments (together with any applicable interest or fees) are paid in full, in addition to any other rights or remedies Hunt Interaction may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity, on account of such Late Payment (including, without limitation, the right to submit the Late Payment to a third party for collection); and
4. In addition, if a check for payment is returned to Hunt Interaction for any reason, Hunt Interaction will charge an administrative fee of $80.00 in connection with accepting and processing such returned check.

Section 7 -  Change to the Services.   

Any change in the scope of the Services set forth on Schedule A, including any request for additional Services not included on Schedule A, or the assumptions upon which the scope of the Services set forth on Schedule A is based may require changes in the Fees, schedule of payments, or timeline. If you give Hunt Interaction notice of a change to the scope of the Services, or if Hunt Interaction becomes aware that the scope of the Services will need to change, you and Hunt Interaction will mutually agree on a written amendment to Schedule A (a “Services Amendment”). Each Services Amendment will detail the requested changes to the applicable task, responsibility, duty, budget, timeline or other matter. In addition, if a Services Amendment sets forth Services related to a new Project following the completion of the Services set forth on Schedule A, the Services Amendment shall also include the scope of the new Services, the Fees for such new Services, and the timeline for such new Services. All Services Amendments will become effective when signed by both parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event you request that Hunt Interaction cease providing Services for a period of thirty (30) days or more, this Agreement will be terminated. If you and Hunt Interaction cannot agree to a Services Amendment, (i) Hunt Interaction will complete any Services that are in progress or for which preparation has been made, but will not begin performing any additional Services and (ii) following the completion of such services, this Agreement will be terminated.
