sent to operators initiating workflows, and results may be saved in a common format.
o HP SRA
Assist customer with request analysis, identifying requests that have a high priority for
automated fulfillment. Priority will be based on ease of automation, current estimated cost of
fulfillment, and frequency of event.
Optional: remove if you don’t include a bucket of hours or specific workflow automation. Based
on Customer documentation, create workflows to automate responses for three (3) requests..

c. The receiving party’s confidentiality obligation will be for a period of three (3) years after the date of
disclosure.
d. The confidentiality obligations of the parties will not extend to information that:
1. was in the receiving party’s possession before receipt from the disclosing party;
2. is or becomes publicly known without breach by the receiving party;
3. is rightfully received by the receiving party from a third party without a duty of confidentiality;
4. is independently developed or learned by the receiving party;
5. is disclosed by the receiving party with the disclosing party’s prior written approval; or

10. PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION LAWS
a. The parties acknowledge that the nature of the Professional Services to be provided pursuant to these
Terms is not intended to grant HP direct access to Customer’s Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”). In
the event HP has access to Customer PII (with the exception of business contact information of the
Customer and its representatives) such access will likely be incidental. Customer shall remain the data
controller of its PII at all times. To the extent HP has incidental access to Customer PII, HP agrees to treat
Customer PII as Confidential Information and to use or disclose such data only: (a) in furtherance of or in
connection with performing Professional Services pursuant to these Terms; (b) pursuant to a lawful
subpoena, service of process, or otherwise required or permitted by law; (c) as directed or instructed by
Customer; or (d) with the prior informed consent of the data subject about whom the PII pertains.
b. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Customer requests HP to process Customer PII in a Statement of Work,
then the parties will negotiate in good faith and set forth in any such Statement of Work the applicable
terms, conditions, and requirements related to the appropriate handling of any such PII, including additional
fees and costs to be payable to HP.
11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND REMEDIES
a. Limitation of Liability. Except for the amounts in section 7 above and damages for bodily injury (including
death), HP's total aggregate liability is limited to the amount paid by Customer for the Professional
Services or Deliverable under the Transaction Document that is the subject of the claim. Each party will
have a duty to mitigate damages for which the other party is responsible.
b. Disclaimer. EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS BY A PARTY FOR INFRINGEMENT OF THEIR INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE
FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL COSTS OR DAMAGES OF ANY
KIND OR FOR ANY DOWNTIME COSTS; LOST BUSINESS, REVENUES, GOODWILL, OR PROFITS;
FAILURE TO REALIZE EXPECTED SAVINGS; LOSS OR UNAVAILABILITY OF OR DAMAGE TO
DATA; OR SOFTWARE RESTORATION WHETHER OR NOT THAT PARTY WAS AWARE OR
SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH COSTS, EXPENSES, OR
DAMAGES.
c. Legal Theory. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, THESE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY
REGARDLESS OF THE BASIS OF LIABILITY, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, MISREPRESENTATION,
BREACH OF ANY KIND, OR ANY OTHER CLAIMS IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE.
12. TERMINATION
a. Termination for Convenience. Either party may terminate the relevant Transaction Document to which
these Terms are attached for convenience upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party,
unless otherwise prohibited by these Terms or in the Transaction Document.
b. Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate the relevant Transaction Document to which these
Terms are attached on written notice for cause if the other party fails to comply with these Terms or the
Transaction Document after the breaching party has been notified in writing of the nature of the failure
and been provided with a reasonable time to cure the failure. HP may suspend performance under the
Transaction Document a) without notice if Customer fails to timely pay fees or other amounts due under
the Transaction Document for two consecutive invoices or three invoices during any six month interval
or b) in the case of a Customer failure to perform that is unrelated to payment, if after ten (10) days
written notice from HP, Customer has not cured such failure.
c. Bankruptcy/Default Payment Terms. If either party becomes insolvent, is unable to pay its debts when
due, files for bankruptcy, is subject of involuntary bankruptcy, has a receiver appointed, or has its assets
assigned, the other party may terminate the relevant Transaction Document to which these Terms are
attached without notice and may cancel any unfulfilled obligations. If Customer's financial condition
materially declines or its payment history with HP shows late payments or if its relationship with HP
merits such change, HP may change payment or credit terms.
d. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of a Transaction Document, Customer will pay HP for all
Professional Services performed, Deliverables provided, and charges and expenses incurred by HP up
to the date of termination, and Customer will receive all work in progress for which Customer has paid.
e. Effect of Termination of Licenses. HP may terminate Customer's license in the Deliverables upon notice
for failure to comply with these Terms. In the event of termination of Customer's license, Customer will
immediately destroy or return to HP the affected Deliverables and all partial or complete copies thereof,
or provide satisfactory evidence of their destruction to HP.
f. Survival. Any provision in these Terms which by their nature extend beyond the termination or expiration
will remain in effect until fulfilled and will apply to both parties' respective successors and permitted
assigns including without limitation, sections 3.c and 3.d. Any termination under this section 12 will be
without prejudice to the party's legal rights and remedies, including injunction and other equitable
remedies.
13. HIRING OF EMPLOYEES
Customer agrees not to solicit, or make offers of employment to, or enter into consultant relationships with,
any HP employee involved, directly or indirectly, in the performance of Professional Services hereunder for
one (1) year after the date such employee ceases to perform Professional Services under these Terms.
Customer shall not be prevented from hiring any such employee who responds to a general hiring program
conducted in the ordinary course of business and not specifically directed to such HP employees.
14. GENERAL
a. Restricted Use. Professional Services and Deliverables acquired by Customer under these Terms are
solely for Customer's own internal use and are not for resale or distribution. Deliverables are not
specifically designed, manufactured, or intended for use as parts, components, or assemblies for the
planning, construction, maintenance, or direct operation of a nuclear facility. Customer is solely liable if
Deliverables purchased by Customer are used for these applications and will indemnify and hold HP
harmless from all loss, damage, expense, or liability in connection with such use.
b. Force Majeure. Neither party will be deemed to be in default hereunder, or will be liable to the other, for
failure to perform any of its non-monetary obligations under these Terms for any period and to the
extent that such failure results from any circumstance beyond that party’s reasonable control, and which
it could not have prevented by reasonable precautions or reasonable efforts provided that the exercise
of such reasonable precautions or reasonable efforts will not require the incurrence of any additional
cost or expense.
c. Assignment. Customer may not assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer all or any part of its rights or
obligations under these Terms without prior written consent from HP. Any such attempted assignment,
delegation, or transfer will be null and void.
d. Compliance with Laws. Each party agrees to be responsible for complying with all laws and regulations
applicable to its business.
e. Export and Import. Customer acknowledges that HP cannot provide, and Customer will not request HP
to provide, directly or indirectly, any Professional Services to embargoed or sanctioned countries or to
nationals and parties from those countries, in accordance with the United States and other national
export regulations. Customer agrees not to directly or indirectly export (or re-export), or to permit the
shipment of any items used in connection with the Professional Services or any Deliverables to or from
a destination or end user for which the United States or another country with jurisdiction, or any agency
of the same, requires an export license or other authorization without first having obtained any such
license or authorization. Customer will provide to HP not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice if any
items provided by or through Customer and used or accessed by HP in performing the Professional
Services are controlled for export under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations or other applicable
laws. Unless otherwise expressly agreed, Customer will be the importer of record of any items for which
import is required for delivery of any portion of the Professional Services outside the country of the
contracting HP entity. HP may suspend performance under these Terms: 1) if the Customer is in
violation of any applicable laws or regulations, and 2) to the extent necessary to assure compliance
under the U.S. or other applicable export or similar regulations.
f. Governing Law. Disputes arising under these Terms will be governed by the law of the jurisdiction of the
principal place of business of the HP Affiliate accepting the order to which the dispute relates and the
courts of that locale will have jurisdiction, except that HP may, at its option, bring suit for collection in the
country where the Customer Affiliate that placed the order is located. Customer and HP agree that the
United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to these
Terms.
g. Notices. All notices that are required under these Terms will be in writing and will be considered effective
upon receipt.
h. Entire Agreement. These Terms and the relevant Transaction Documents represent the entire
agreement between HP and Customer regarding Customer's purchase of Professional Services, and
supersedes and replaces any previous communications, representations, or agreements, or Customer's
additional or inconsistent terms, whether oral or written. In the event any provision of these Terms is
held invalid or unenforceable the remainder of the Terms will remain enforceable and unaffected
thereby.
i. Waiver. Neither party's failure to exercise or delay in exercising any of its rights under these Terms will
constitute or be deemed a waiver or forfeiture of those rights.
j. Background Checks. HP conducts background checks in accordance with HP’s policies and
procedures.
k. Order of Precedence. In the event of conflict, the order of precedence shall be as follows, except where
the parties expressly state otherwise in the Transaction Document.
1. these Terms,
2. the Statement of Work (if applicable),
3. all other Transaction Documents.
l. Independent Contractor. HP is an independent contractor in the performance under these Terms and
neither HP nor any HP personnel are employees or agents of Customer. Nothing in these Terms will be
construed as creating a joint venture, partnership, or employment relationship between the parties, nor
will either party have the right, power, or authority to create any obligation or duty, expressed or implied,
on behalf of the other.
m. Authorization to Install Software. During the provision of Professional Services, HP may be required to
install copies of third-party or HP Branded Software and be required to accept license terms
accompanying such Software (“Shrink-Wrap Terms”) on behalf of Customer. Shrink-Wrap Terms may be
in electronic format, embedded in the Software, or contained within the Software documentation.
Customer hereby acknowledges that it is Customer's responsibility to review Shrink-Wrap Terms at the
time of installation, and hereby authorizes HP to accept all Shrink-Wrap Terms on its behalf.
n. Publicity. Neither party will publicize nor disclose to any third party without the consent of the other
party either the price or these Terms, or the fact of its existence and execution, except as may be
necessary to comply with other obligations stated in these Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, HP
may use Customer’s name and identification of this engagement in connection with general lists of
Customers and experience.
o. Limitation of Terms. These Terms for Professional Services do not contemplate the sale of Products,
Support, software as a service, managed print services, and outsourcing services, which shall require
the necessary terms and conditions for such purchase. In the event Customer wishes to purchase any
of the above, the terms governing such purchase will need to be established between the parties.
p. Similar Services. Nothing in these Terms will prohibit HP from providing Professional Services similar to
those provided hereunder to other customers.
q. Electronic Orders and EDI. Where facilitated under local law, the parties may do business electronically,
including order placement and acceptance. Once accepted, such orders create fully enforceable
obligations subject to these Terms. Such orders and acceptance will be deemed for all purposes to be
an original signed writing. Customer and HP will adopt commercially reasonable security measures for
password and access protection.
