Updated: July 2012.

This Services Agreement is part of the Member Contract between Client and Expert, effective upon Client's award and Expert's acceptance of a Project on the Site. This Services Agreement incorporates all terms, conditions, rules, policies, and guidelines on the Site, including the XPlace Terms of Service ("Terms of Service"). Capitalized terms not defined in this Services Agreement are defined in the XPlace Terms of Service.

1. Member Contract

Upon Client's award and Expert's acceptance of a Project on the Site, Client agrees to purchase, and Expert agrees to deliver, the Expert Services in accordance with the following agreements (collectively, the "Member Contract"): (1) the Terms of Service; (2) the Project terms, as awarded and accepted on the Site, to the extent not inconsistent with the Mandatory Terms (defined below); (3) any other contractual provisions accepted by both Client and Expert and uploaded to the Site, to the extent not inconsistent with the Mandatory Terms (defined below); and (4) this Services Agreement.

The provisions of this Services Agreement may be modified by Project terms awarded and accepted on the Site or other contractual provisions accepted by both Client and Expert and uploaded to the Site. However, the other provisions of the Terms of Service besides this Services Agreement (the "Mandatory Terms") may not be modified. Conflicts in the Member Contract shall be resolved in the following order of precedence: (1) the Mandatory Terms; (2) the Project terms, as awarded and accepted on the Site, to the extent not inconsistent with the Mandatory Terms; (3) any other contractual provisions accepted by both Client and Expert and uploaded to the Site, to the extent not inconsistent with the Mandatory Terms; and (4) this Services Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Client and Expert both agree not to enter into any contractual provisions or Project terms in conflict with the Mandatory Terms. Any part of the Member Contract that conflicts with or modifies the Mandatory Terms shall be null and void while the other parts of the Member Contract shall remain valid and binding.

2. Responsibilities and Performance

Client is responsible for managing, inspecting, accepting and paying for satisfactory Expert Services in accordance with the Member Contract in a timely and professional manner. Expert is responsible for the performance and quality of the Expert Services in accordance with the Member Contract in a timely and professional manner, consistent with industry practice, at a location, place and time that Expert deems appropriate. The manner and means that Expert chooses to perform the Project are in Expert's sole discretion and control. In performing the Project, Expert agrees to provide its own equipment, tools, and other materials at its own expense. Client and Expert each covenants and agrees to act with good faith and fair dealing in performance of the Member Contract.

3. Duration of Services

The duration of performance of Expert Services under the Member Contract commences and terminates on the dates specified in the Project terms, unless both Client and Expert otherwise agree through a change request on the Site and uploaded to the Workspace.

4. Independent Expert Relationship

Expert's relationship with Client will be that of an independent Expert, and nothing in the Member Contract should be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, or employer-employee relationship. Expert (a) is not the agent of Client; (b) is not authorized to make any representation, contract, or commitment on behalf of Client; (c) will not be entitled to any of the benefits that Client makes available to its employees, such as group insurance, profit sharing or retirement benefits (and waives the right to receive any such benefits); and (d) will be solely responsible for all tax returns and payments required to be filed with or made to any federal, state, or local tax authority with respect to Expert's performance of services and receipt of fees under the Member Contract.

Expert is solely and exclusively liable for complying with all applicable state, federal and international laws including laws governing self-employed individuals, if applicable, such as laws related to payment of taxes, social security, disability, and other contributions based on fees paid to Expert under the Member Contract. Client will not withhold or make payments for social security, unemployment insurance or disability insurance contributions, or obtain workers' compensation insurance on Expert's behalf. Expert hereby agrees to indemnify and defend Client against any and all such taxes or contributions, including penalties and interest. Expert agrees to provide proof of payment of appropriate taxes on any fees paid to Expert under the Member Contract upon reasonable request of Client.

5. Intellectual Property Rights

13. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

OTHER THAN THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN OR IN THE TERMS OF SERVICE, EXPERT DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, ACCURACY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARISING BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE IN LAW OR FROM A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OR TRADE.

EXCEPT FOR A VIOLATION OF SECTION 7 OF THIS AGREEMENT TITLED CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER EXPERT OR CLIENT BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES PURSUANT TO THE MEMBER CONTRACT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT FOR A VIOLATION OF SECTION 7 OF THIS AGREEMENT TITLED CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND AS PROVIDED UNDER SECTION 9 OF THIS AGREEMENT TITLED INDEMNIFICATION, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER EXPERT OR CLIENT BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY ACTION OR CLAIM RELATED TO THE SERVICES PROVIDED FOR THE PROJECT, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, IN AN AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNT THE CLIENT PAID TO THE EXPERT THROUGH THE SITE DURING THE ONE (1) YEAR PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DETERMINATION OF SUCH LIABILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS MAY NOT ALLOW FOR ALL THE FOREGOING EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITIES, SO TO THAT EXTENT, IF ANY, SOME OR ALL OF THESE DISCLAIMERS, LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

15. General Provisions

Governing Law and Venue. The Member Contract and any action related thereto will be governed, controlled, interpreted, and defined by and under the laws of the State of Israel, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles that require the application of the law of a different jurisdiction. Expert hereby expressly consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue in the courts of the city of Herzliya, Israel, or the city in which Client's principal place of business is located for any lawsuit filed there against Expert by Client or by XPlace arising from or related to the Member Contract.

Severability. If any provision of the Member Contract is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of the Member Contract will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

No Assignment. The Member Contract, and the party's rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by either party without the other's prior written consent, and any attempted Project, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. The terms of the Member Contract will be binding upon assignees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client may, without the consent of Expert, assign any rights and obligations under the Member Contract to an entity merging with, consolidating with, or purchasing substantially all its assets or stock. Any permitted assignment of the Member Contract shall be binding upon and enforceable by and against Client's and Expert's successors and assigns, provided that any unauthorized assignment shall be null and void and constitute a breach of the Member Contract.

Notices. Each party must deliver all notices or other communications required or permitted under the Member Contract to the other party by uploading it to the Workspace.

Injunctive Relief. Expert acknowledges that, because its services are personal and unique and because Expert will have access to Confidential Information of Client, any breach of the Member Contract by Expert would cause irreparable injury to Client for which monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy and, therefore, will entitle Client to injunctive relief (including specific performance). The rights and remedies provided to each party in the Member Contract are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies available to such party at law or in equity.

Waiver. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of the Member Contract on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.

Export. Expert agrees not to export, directly or indirectly, any technical data acquired from Client or any products utilizing such data, to countries outside of Israel and the United States, because such export could be in violation of the Israeli and American export laws or regulations.

Execution and Delivery; Binding Effect. The parties will evidence execution and delivery of the Member Contract with the intention of becoming legally bound, by accepting the Terms of Service on the Site.

Entire Agreement. The Member Contract is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matters hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between the parties with respect to such subject matters. No modification of or amendment to the Member Contract, or any waiver of any rights under the Member Contract, will be effective unless uploaded to the Workspace and accepted by Expert and Client. The terms of the Member Contract will govern all Projects and services undertaken by Expert for Client.
