RECITALS

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the covenants and conditions set forth herein, the Parties mutually agree as follows:

1. Availability and Commitment to Provide Services. This Agreement is based on Contractor’s representations to White Cloud, including that Contractor is available to, and desires to, complete work on behalf of White Cloud, to provide Services to White Cloud’s Customers. 

1.1 White Cloud agrees to provide Work Proposals to Contractor in accordance with this Agreement at its discretion, so long as Contractor agrees that for each Work Proposal that is converted into a Statement of Work, Contractor will perform the Services in a professional and competent manner, all the while promoting White Cloud to its existing and potential customers.

1.3 By entering into this Agreement, White Cloud does not commit to sending any particular quantity of Work Proposals or Statements of Work to the Contractor; this is not a requirements contract.  However, in White Cloud’s assessment of Contractor, its professionalism and competency and other factors, at White Cloud’s discretion it may seek to provide more opportunities for work to Contractor and the relationship between the parties may become a basis for frequent and ongoing business between them.

The Statement of Work is any work instruction, whether or not based on a Work Proposal, that provides the details for Contractor to complete work for White Cloud’s Customers. A Statement of Work can be as simple as a few text messages to clear up any extra needed details not provided in the Work Proposal. After accepting a Work Proposal, Contractor is obligated to fulfill the job or work indicated by the Work Proposal and the Statement of Work. The Contractor Services to be provided shall be consistent with those described in the Work Proposal, Statement of Work, and most importantly by the most recent instructions and updates or modifications provided by White Cloud.

White Cloud “Confidential Information” means information (including any and all combinations of individual items of information) that White Cloud has or will develop, acquire, create, compile, discover or own, that has value in or to White Cloud’s business which is not generally known and which White Cloud wishes to maintain as confidential.

4.4 Maintenance of Confidentiality. During and after the Term of this Agreement, Contractor will hold in the strictest confidence and take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of White Cloud Confidential Information. Contractor will not: (i) use White Cloud Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever other than for the benefit of White Cloud, (ii) disclose White Cloud Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written authorization from White Cloud. Contractor agrees that Contractor obtains no title to any White Cloud Confidential Information, and that White Cloud retains all Confidential Information as the sole property of White Cloud.
