If you represent a company that is interested in providing Services you shall be considered as a “Service Provider”.
2. The Evaluation Program has three stages as set forth below. At each stage, we will make a determination, in our sole and absolute discretion, whether you meet the criteria we have established that potential Service Providers must meet in order to progress to the next stage of the Evaluation Program or, at the conclusion of the Evaluation Program, whether you meet the criteria to be enrolled as a Service Provider (the “Service Provider Standards”). -
  1. Initial Evaluation: At this stage, we will examine your (“Response”) to determine if the information provided is sufficient for us to determine your suitability to move to the next stage of the Evaluation Program. If your Response is not accurate or is not fully responsive to our information requests we may either ask for further information we need for you to satisfy our initial screening criteria or decide not to process your application any further.
  2. Detailed Evaluation: Once we have determined that your Response has provided us with sufficient information to satisfy our initial screening criteria, we will notify you that your application has been moved to the Detailed Evaluation stage. During this stage we will request that you provide further information, including but not limited to detailed information on your technology capabilities, recruitment and people retention programs, on-going training, new technology adoption, geographic footprint, commercial and pricing terms and immigration processes. Upon our completion of the Detailed Evaluation, qualified Service Providers will be empaneled on ITeXchange (www.ITeXchangeWeb.com)
  3. Onsite Assessment: This shall be done after the completion of Detailed Evaluation and as needed by ITeXchange, typically prior to engaging with a new Buyer. We will use the Onsite Assessment to verify some or all of the information you provided to us during the earlier two stages of the Evaluation Program as well as to get any additional information we need about your capabilities regarding specific projects that Buyers have informed us about. Onsite assessment will be charged for by ITeXchange as explained in the “Service Provider Agreement”.
3. You must provide us with full and accurate information for each information request we make during the Evaluation Program. If you want to ensure that the information you provide to us states exactly what you want it to say, we encourage you to provide it us in writing, even if you originally provided it to us orally.
4. If we visit your offices as part of an Evaluation Program, you will provide our representatives with the appropriate level of access in order for them to complete their part of the evaluation. Here is a non-exhaustive list of the types of access they will require for their evaluation:
  1. Access to your delivery facilities to examine the physical and logical security standards that you utilize in delivering services
  2. A demonstration of your network capabilities and how you interact with your clients to deliver services from a networking perspective.
  3. Access to your project managers and other staff and consultants who will are currently responsible for delivering services similar to those you want to provide through your enrolment on ITeXchange.
  4. Access to key members of your management to discuss any queries and findings we may have.
  5. Any other matter that we decide is appropriate for the evaluation.
Results of Potential Service Provider Evaluation
1. As stated above, following the completion of our Detailed Evaluation, we will notify you whether or not you have qualified to be enrolled as a Service Provider on ITeXchange. If you have not qualified, we will provide a brief report that gives you feedback on the key issues that prevented you from being enrolled. If you qualify to enroll, we inform you of the fact together with your industry and/or domain specific rating.
2. Your ITeXchange rating that was mentioned above will be one of Excellent; Very Good; Good; or Satisfactory for each such industry and/or domain. This rating is very important and will be based on the quality of the information you provide us and our findings during the due diligence process. Hence, it is in your interest that you provide us with high quality information which is true and accurate in all respects.
3. Once you have been enrolled as a Service Provider, we will add you to our list of approved Service Providers for specific industry and technology domains. You will:
  1. Nominate one person who will act as the primary contact for all matters that we or a buyer on ITeXchange want to interact with you on.
  2. Use the ITeXchange provided template to create your own web page on our web site. You have the option of not creating a web page but we highly recommend you create one.
  3. Provide a clear and concise description of your capability for each domain for which you have been selected on your web page.
  4. Provide case studies, white papers and/or client testimonials that demonstrate your capabilities with respect each domain for which you have been selected.
    
    There are a few matters that you need to pay attention to while providing these materials. The first is that these materials are optional and not compulsory. Secondly, you must have the proper rights to publish everything that you put on ITeXchange. Thirdly and very importantly, you must ensure that everything you publish on your web page is correct and accurate and must confine itself to descriptions of your business and services. Fourthly, you cannot use this web page to say anything about anyone or anything else or to direct the readers to online or offline resources or materials outside ITeXchange. Fifthly, you cannot use the ITeXchange website to denigrate others or to publish any materials that are, in our sole discretion, negative, misleading, slanderous, libelous, rude, impolite, pornographic or otherwise objectionable. We will not take any responsibility for determining whether or not the information you provide is correct and accurate. Further, under no circumstances can you publish any materials on ITeXchange that in any form or manner violate or breach any third party’s Intellectual Property rights. This means that if you are including any third party Intellectual Property, you must have the proper permission of that third party to publish such materials. For example, if you are publishing a case study of a project you implemented for a client, please ensure that you have the client’s permission to use their name and to describe the work you do for them. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that any materials you publish violate any of our standards, we will remove the materials from all ITeXchange resources without any notice to you. The same will apply if we receive a duly substantiated complaint from a third party. Intellectual property and other proprietary rights (“Intellectual Property”) will have the broadest possible meaning for the purpose of the Service Provider Agreement and includes, without limitation, all patent rights; copyrights, moral rights and all other rights associated with works of authorship; trademarks; rights relating to the protection of trade secrets and confidential information; and any right similar to those described here.

4. Your ITeXchange rating is a dynamic rating. The preliminary rating will be modified based on (i) our continuing evaluation of your capabilities outside of ITeXchange; and (ii) our observations and feedback from buyers on ITeXchange with respect to projects for which you were chosen to deliver through ITeXchange. Since the rating is dynamic, it can go both ways, i.e., you could move upwards from good to very good to excellent or from excellent to very good to good.
5. If the results of an evaluation indicate that you are failing to maintain the Service Provider Standards, we will restrict your ability to bid for projects while we discuss with you the steps you plan to take to improve your capabilities to bring them back to the levels required by the Service Provider Standard. Your plan must include a definitive timeline within which you will achieve the objectives. Once we approve of the plan, we will monitor your progress against the plan’s objectives and milestones. Your ability to bid for new projects will be re-instated once the plan objectives are achieved to our reasonable satisfaction in accordance with the agreed timelines. If we determine that you have failed to achieve the plan objectives in accordance with the timelines we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, either extend the time available to you to meet the plan objectives or terminate your enrolment as a Service Provider on ITeXchange. No Service Provider shall be entitled to more than two extensions to satisfy the remedial plan’s objectives.
6. If your Service Provider enrolment is terminated, you have to wait for a minimum period of six months before you can re-apply to be enrolled as a Service Provider. The re-enrolment process is the same as the initial enrolment process described above

About ITeXchange

Welcome to the ITeXchange information technology services market place. This is a new generation market place which enables the procurement of information technology related services (“Services”). ITeXchange is meant to address the information technology needs of technology startups and established midsize enterprises that are looking to outsource their Services need to information technology service providers located across the globe. Often, the benefits of global Services have been available only to large companies with the ability to conduct expensive evaluations prior to engaging service providers. Emerging and midsize enterprises that need access to such service providers to leverage a global talent pool or the economic benefit of procuring services from efficient and effective service providers, find themselves unable to source these Services in an effective and efficient manner.

It is this market segment that ITeXchange addresses. We understand the various elements that have to mesh together in order to deliver Services to clients including vendor evaluation; the development of project specifications; selecting a suitable service provider; the contracting process; project governance and oversight; and payments and have developed criteria and methodologies that allow us to do many of the activities encompassed in the elements mentioned above.

We have enrolled a number of service providers on to our market place who can meet the various services needs of prospective buyers of IT Services (“Buyer”). As part of the enrollment process, we evaluate and score each service provider on their credentials and capabilities against our capability framework (each enrolled service provider is hereafter referred to as a “Service Provider”). All of these measures allow us to provide potential buyers with a marketplace where the process of procuring and delivering services is greatly simplified and standardized. We also provide a payment mechanism which requires Buyers to pay a certain amount of money in advance into an ITeXchange account. This money is released to Service Providers when the Buyer confirms that they have satisfied the agreed contractual conditions. This allows buyers the security of paying for Services in accordance with agreed milestones and Service Providers the security of knowing that payment for their Services is deposited with us and that they will be paid once they have satisfied their contractual obligations.

We have taken the model used by the physical product focused technology enabled marketplaces and enhanced it to cater to the procurement of services by adding a greater degree of predictability for both buyers and sellers. Part of this advantage is driven by our service provider evaluation and rating process and part it is driven by the standardization of contract terms and payment mechanisms that reduces a lot of the effort and cost associated with buying the Services outside of ITeXchange.

Registering with ITeXchange:
1. All Buyers are required to register using their email address on the ITeXchange portal (www.ITeXchangeWeb.com).While providing the email address, please provide the email address of the entity that is the Buyer.

The Service Provider shall, within a reasonable time, but no later than 30 days following such notification, modify the Deliverable so as to rectify such non-conformance. If the Service Provider is unable to remedy any non-conformance as contemplated herein, the Buyer shall be entitled to, and Service Provider shall promptly provide, in addition to any other rights it has, a refund of all amounts paid in respect of such Deliverable or any related Deliverables solely and directly from the Service Provider.

Irrespective of the payment terms you agree with the Service Provider under this Agreement, the monies payable under this Agreement to the Service Provider must be routed through our payment mechanism only. Buyer agrees and acknowledges that it will not remit any amounts towards fees or payments of any sort to the Service Provider unless that money has been released by Buyer to ITeXchange in order to make such payment.
5.2 The Statement of Work shall set out the cost reimbursement mechanism to be used in the event that Service Provider’s personnel are required to travel to a Buyer location or any other location in order to deliver the Services.

The ITeXchange platform will notify the Buyer immediately of the invoice and request for approval.
5.4 The Buyer shall notify the Service Provider and ITeXchange in writing of whether it is accepting or disputing an invoice no later than seven (7) days from the date of receipt of invoice. In the event the Buyer is disputing an invoice, the Buyer shall state the reasons for it doing so as part of its notification of dispute together with the part of the invoiced amount that is being disputed. Any part of the invoiced amount that is not disputed shall become payable according to the terms of this Agreement without any further approval from the Buyer.
5.5 ITeXchange shall make payments to the Service Provider against an invoice from the amounts held in deposit by it upon receiving the approval for the invoice from the Buyer on the ITeXchange platform. Such payments shall be made after deducting any amounts payable by the Service Provider to ITeXchange pursuant to the Service Provider Agreement entered into between ITeXchange and the Service Provider. In the event of a disputed invoice, ITeXchange shall only make payments against the undisputed portion of such invoice, net of any amounts payable to it by the Service Provider as set forth above. ITeXchange shall make all payments required under this Section 5 to the Service Provider no later than seven (7) days after its receipt of approval for the relevant invoice or undisputed part thereof from the Buyer.
5.6 Buyer shall reimburse Service Provider for reasonable, documented (receipts) expenses incurred while performing Services, provided prior written approval for such expenses is obtained from the Buyer.
5.7 The agreed prices are inclusive of all taxes except as follows. The Buyer shall be liable for all transaction taxes on the Services and Deliverables provided under this Agreement. Such transaction taxes shall include but are not limited to sales tax, excise tax, value added tax (VAT), goods and services tax (GST), consumption tax, business tax and similar taxes. The Service Provider shall separately state, where applicable, transaction taxes on the invoice. The Service Provider shall not charge the transaction taxes if the Buyer provides an exemption certificate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Service Provider and which is acceptable to the taxing authorities. In the event that the Service Provider does not charge transaction taxes and the tax authorities subsequently opine that the Service Provider should have charged such taxes, the Buyer shall pay such taxes as required by the authorities.

6. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

6.1 Each party shall comply with all laws and regulations specifically applicable to their provision or receipt of Services and Deliverables respectively under the Agreement.
6.2 The Buyer shall include all compliance requirements, including but not limited to all laws, regulations, government or regulatory approved codes of practice or orders and all similar or analogous requirements that the Buyer wishes the Service Provider to comply with in the performance of Services and the creation of the Deliverables in the Statement of Work (“Applicable Laws”).
6.3 In the event that there are any changes in law or regulations applicable to this Agreement, including but not limited to changes in Applicable Law, which adversely affect the Service Provider’s ability to render the Services and Deliverables (a “Regulatory Change”), the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon an amendment to the Statement of Work (using the Change Order mechanism) in order to address the impact of such Regulatory Change on the Services and Deliverables.
6.4 The Parties shall not directly or indirectly export or re-export any software and technical data (including any direct product thereof) or undertake any transaction or service that may be subject to Export Controls Laws in violation of any such laws or regulations. The Parties acknowledge that under applicable United States law, information, data and technology provided or disclosed by the Buyer may be considered exported as soon as it is received by a foreign national (including any person who is not a United States citizen or permanent resident), even if such person is resident in the United States. The Buyer shall obtain the export licenses and approvals, if any, necessary to provide information to the Service Provider and its employees and contractors.

To the extent any such Intellectual Property Rights in the Deliverables are deemed not to be “works for hire” under applicable law, the Service Provider hereby irrevocably assigns all such Intellectual Property Rights to the Buyer and agrees to undertake all additional acts reasonably necessary to effect such assignment, including execution of further assignments, registrations, and other documents and instruments, promptly upon request by the Buyer, at Buyer’s cost, to ensure the assignment of such rights to the Buyer and perfection of Buyer’s interest in such Intellectual Property Rights.
7.2 To the extent, that the Intellectual Property Rights contemplated in Section 7.1 do not automatically vest with the Buyer, by operation of law or the terms of this Agreement, the Service Provider shall hold them in trust for the Buyer until such rights shall be fully and absolutely vested in the Buyer pursuant to Section 7.1 above.
7.3 In the event that any prior intellectual property of the Service Provider is embedded into the Deliverables, the Service Provider hereby grants to Buyer, at no additional cost, a non-exclusive, royalty free, perpetual license to use and modify such prior intellectual property embedded in such Deliverable as is necessary to enable Buyer’s use of such Deliverables. Nothing contained in this Section 7.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed to grant Buyer any right to use or exploit such prior intellectual property in its stand-alone form separate and apart from the Deliverables.
7.4 The Service Provider shall procure that all employees, subcontractors, consultants, and other personnel who participate in performance of the Services hereunder irrevocably and unconditionally assign and waive in favour of Buyer any rights, title or interests in and/or to the Deliverables or any other work product contemplated herein, and all Intellectual Property Rights therein, immediately on creation and agree in writing to such obligations.

8.3 If the Receiving Party commits a breach of its obligations related to Confidential Information, in addition to the remedies available to it for breach of contract, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek the remedies afforded it in equity or at law for breach of confidence including injunctive relief without the requirement to post any bond or security.
