DELIVERY, SHIPPING, AND RISK OF LOSS
5.1 Delivery and Lead Times
Delivery dates and lead times provided by Company are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Company shall make commercially reasonable efforts to meet estimated delivery dates.

Upon Company's determination that installation is substantially complete, Company will notify Client in writing. Client shall conduct a walk-through inspection within five (5) business days of such notice and provide a written punch list of items requiring correction. Company shall address punch list items within a commercially reasonable time. Substantial completion triggers the payment milestone for final invoice issuance. Minor punch list items outstanding at the time of substantial completion do not entitle Client to withhold final payment, provided such items are documented and agreed in writing.
6.5 Client-Accepted Modifications During Installation
Any modifications to the SOW-specified design, equipment placement, cable routing, or configuration requested by Client during installation shall be documented in a written Change Order and may result in additional charges. Verbal approvals by site representatives are insufficient and Company shall not be bound by undocumented field modifications.

Company provides products, installation services, and managed services to technology partners ("Partners") who resell or incorporate Company's offerings into solutions delivered to their end-user clients ("End-User Clients"). Partners may engage Company on a subcontractor, white-label, or referral basis, as specified in the applicable Quote or SOW. The following provisions govern all Technology Partner engagements.
16.2 Partner Responsibility for End-User Client
When Company is engaged by a Partner to deliver services to an End-User Client, the Partner bears full and exclusive responsibility for:
All contractual obligations, representations, and warranties made to the End-User Client.
Accurate and complete transmission of End-User Client requirements, site conditions, and technical specifications to Company.
Obtaining all necessary consents, permissions, and authorizations from the End-User Client for Company to access premises, systems, and data.
Payment to Company regardless of whether the Partner has collected payment from the End-User Client. Company has no privity of contract with the End-User Client unless a separate written agreement is executed between Company and the End-User Client.
Ensuring that End-User Clients receive appropriate documentation, user training, and operational guidance for delivered systems.
16.3 Partner Liability Shield
Company's liability in a Technology Partner engagement runs exclusively to the Partner, not to the End-User Client. Company shall not be liable to any End-User Client for any claims arising from the products or services delivered under a Partner engagement, including but not limited to claims for property damage, business interruption, data loss, or personal injury, unless Company has executed a separate written agreement directly with the End-User Client. Partners shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Company from any claims asserted by End-User Clients arising from the Partner's misrepresentations, omissions, or failure to properly represent Company's scope of work, warranties, or service limitations.
16.4 Partner Indemnification of Company
Partner shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Company and its members, officers, employees, and agents from and against any Claims brought by End-User Clients or third parties arising from: (i) Partner's representations to End-User Clients that exceed or contradict Company's documented scope, warranties, or capabilities; (ii) Partner's failure to disclose Company's limitations of liability or warranty disclaimers to End-User Clients; (iii) modifications made to Company-delivered systems by Partner or End-User Client without Company's written consent; or (iv) any act or omission of Partner in connection with the End-User Client relationship.
16.5 White-Label and Co-Branding
Where Company agrees in writing to provide services on a white-label basis, Company's identity as service provider shall not be disclosed to the End-User Client without Partner's written consent. In such cases, all End-User Client communications shall be managed through Partner. Company shall not be responsible for delays or miscommunications arising from information passing through Partner before reaching the End-User Client.
16.6 Partner Insurance Requirements
Technology Partners shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with limits no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate, professional liability insurance with limits no less than $1,000,000 per claim, and cyber liability insurance with limits no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence. Partners shall provide Company with certificates of insurance upon request. Partners shall ensure that their insurance covers their obligations to Company and indemnification obligations under this Agreement.
16.7 No Delegation of Company Obligations
Company's agreement with a Partner does not relieve Company of its performance obligations under the applicable SOW. Company remains accountable to Partner for the quality, timeliness, and specification-compliance of Company's directly-delivered work, subject to the limitations and exclusions set forth in these Terms.
TERM AND TERMINATION

FORCE MAJEURE
18.1 Excuse of Performance
Neither party shall be liable for delays in or failure of performance resulting directly from a Force Majeure Event, provided the affected party (i) provides prompt written notice of the Force Majeure Event, including a description of the event and its anticipated duration, to the other party within five (5) business days of its occurrence; (ii) uses commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact of the Force Majeure Event; and (iii) resumes performance as promptly as practicable once the Force Majeure Event has abated.

Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to source alternative equipment and materials if specified products become unavailable due to supply chain disruptions. Company shall notify Client of material supply chain issues affecting project timelines as soon as reasonably practicable.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement.
19.2 Escalation and Good-Faith Negotiation
Before initiating formal dispute resolution proceedings, the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute through direct negotiation between senior representatives of each party. Either party may initiate this escalation process by delivering written notice to the other party identifying the dispute in reasonable detail. The parties shall meet (in person, by telephone, or by video conference) within fifteen (15) business days of such notice to attempt resolution. If the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of the initial notice, either party may proceed to mediation or litigation.
