Intending to be legally bound and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows.
Programs
Each EducaZone’ Program includes an optional three-month pre-apprenticeship bootcamp training component followed by approximately twelve (12) months of employer-led On-the-Job Training and mentorship in which apprentices work on customer projects with oversight and mentorship of a journeyworker of the Customer and additional related technical instruction and mentorship provided by EducaZone.
TERM
This Agreement will be effective for the duration mentioned in the SOW.
PROVISION OF SERVICES - USE OF THE SERVICES
A. General Services Description. Throughout the Term, and subject to and conditioned on Customer’s timely and full payment of Compensation and compliance with all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, EducaZone undertakes to provide the Customer with the Services described in the SOW.
B. Corrective Maintenance and updates. Throughout the term of the Agreement, EducaZone will use commercially reasonable efforts to carry out corrective maintenance on the Platform. Accordingly, EducaZone will use commercially reasonable efforts to develop its Services in order to keep up with technological advances and may take any action, including but not limited to, taking down Program Materials, to comply with applicable standards, improving the performance, availability and reliability of the Services. All new versions of the Platform and Program Materials will be posted as soon as they become available; it is expressly agreed that only the most recent versions will be available to the Customer.
C. Provision of Services. The provision of the Services requires the active collaboration of the Customer and the transmission to EducaZone of information, such as the contact details (email, address and telephone number) of the project manager, of the Customer Administrator, or those of employees involved with the Services, as well as any other information of the same type as may be requested by EducaZone’ Employer Success team from time to time. The Services will be made available to the Customer using the Customer’s equipment. Each Apprentice is assigned login credentials. The login credentials open rights defined according to the training of each Apprentice. These rights are allocated only for the Term. These login credentials are strictly personal; they must in no case be communicated to a third party, including, without limitation, another Apprentice. It is specifically the sole responsibility of the Customer to define the security rules and conditions of access to the Services by Apprentices. EducaZone cannot, under any circumstances, be held liable if an unauthorized third party accesses the Services.
D. Use of the Services & Restrictions. The Services are used by the Customer under its sole control and responsibility, for its own needs. The Customer shall be entirely and solely liable for the vetting of the Apprentices, including, in particular, the fulfillment of the prerequisites for any given training by the selected Apprentices. Apprentices must be registered on the Platform as Apprentices for the implementation of the Services and therefore undertake to comply with the Terms of Use. Customer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Apprentices to, use the Services for any purposes beyond the scope granted in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer shall not at any time, directly or indirectly, and shall not permit any Apprentices to: (i) copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Program Materials or Instructional System, in whole or in part; (ii) rent, lease, lend, sell, license, sublicense, assign, distribute, publish, transfer, or otherwise make available the Program Materials or Instructional System; (iii) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, decode, adapt, or otherwise attempt to derive or gain access to any software component of the Program Materials or Instructional System, in whole or in part; (iv) remove any proprietary notices from the Program Materials or Instructional System; (v) use the Program Materials, Instructional System or any component thereof to develop competitive products or services ; or (vi) use the Program Materials or Instructional System in any manner or for any purpose that infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any intellectual property right or other right of any person, or that violates any Requirements of Law.
E. Program updates. In order to ensure the development of each Program or maintain its level of quality, EducaZone may adapt and/or modify content, as well as certain operational modalities for the provision of the Services.
PARTIES’ OBLIGATIONS
Cooperation. Each Party will cooperate with and assist the other Party, its employees, agents, and representatives, at all times during the Term so as to deliver the Services in an efficient manner. Each Party will, from time to time, at the request of the other Party and without further consideration, execute and deliver such other instruments and take such other action as the requesting Party may reasonably request to undertake the Services and carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.
Provision of Information and Customer Data. Customer must provide all information, instructions, and documentation required by EducaZone for the deployment and administration of the Services. Customer shall work fairly and actively with EducaZone and, in particular, to provide or grant easy access to any Customer Data EducaZone may need in order to perform its obligations under the Agreement, subject to such disclosure being permitted under the Requirements of Law. Customer will verify the accuracy and completeness of all information and Customer Data provided to EducaZone. Customer shall comply with all Requirements of Law and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), that prohibit or restrict the export or re-export of the Platform, Services, or any Customer Data outside the United States.
Customer’s rights and obligations

D. Ethical Values. As a mission-driven and B Corp certified company, the ethical values of EducaZone include acting as a responsible employer and pursuing a socially responsible environmental policy. Our ethical values are detailed in our Ethical Code available on our Platform. In case of suspicion of violation or failure to comply with the principles of the Ethical Code that could harm the brand or reputation of EducaZone, the latter will have the right to terminate the Agreement, without notice, and without prejudice to any legal or extrajudicial procedure and damages to which it could claim.
COMPENSATION, INVOICING AND PAYMENTS
Compensation. As compensation for EducaZone’ delivery of the Programs and Services, Customer will compensate EducaZone.
The Compensation is exclusive of all applicable sales, use, value-added and other taxes, and all applicable duties, assessments, export and import fees, or other similar charges, and Customer will be responsible for payment of all such taxes (other than taxes based on EducaZone’ income), fees, duties, and charges and any related penalties and interest, arising from the payment of the Compensation or the provision of the Services. Customer will make all payments of Compensation to EducaZone free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes; any such taxes imposed on payments of Compensation to EducaZone will be Customer’s sole responsibility, and Customer will provide EducaZone with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as EducaZone may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid.
Funding. In the event of payment of the Compensation by a public or private entity other than Customer, the funding provisions will be detailed in the SOW.
Non-refundability. The Compensation paid by Customer to EducaZone under this Agreement is non-refundable, except in the event of termination for material breach of EducaZone or termination as the result of an Event of Force Majeure, in which event a proportionate amount of the Compensation will be refunded to Customer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Compensation agreed to by the Parties remains due by the Customer, including, without limitation, where an Apprentice completes training before the expiration of the Term or does not complete a Program for whatever reason.
Invoicing and Payments. The Customer shall pay to EducaZone an upfront payment of 100% of the total annual Compensation upon the Effective Date of the SOW, within thirty (30) days from the date of EducaZone’ issuance of the corresponding invoice. EducaZone will invoice the Compensation to the billing contact designated by Customer. If payment is not made by Customer by the due date, in addition to any rights provided to EducaZone in the event of a material breach, any portion of the amount not paid shall bear interest from the due date at Delinquency Interest Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Delinquency Interest Rate exceeds the maximum interest rate allowed by law, the Delinquency Interest Rate will be reduced to the highest rate allowed by law. Without prejudice to the foregoing provisions and to the right for EducaZone to terminate the Agreement, in the event of any late payment exceeding thirty (30) days, EducaZone is entitled to automatically suspend the supply of the Services without prejudice to any penalty, damages, and interests that EducaZone could claim. For the avoidance of doubt, such suspension shall not relieve the Customer of its obligation of payment.
Expenses. EducaZone shall be reimbursed for the reasonable and actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by EducaZone in the performance of EducaZone’ duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, provided that EducaZone shall obtain the prior approval of Customer and first furnish proper vouchers and expense accounts.
Payrolls. No payroll or employment taxes of any kind shall be withheld or paid with respect to payments to EducaZone. The payroll or employment taxes that are the subject of this Section include, but are not limited to, FICA, FUTA, federal personal income tax, state personal income tax, state disability insurance tax, and state unemployment insurance tax.
TERMINATION - SUSPENSION
Termination. Following the conclusion of the Dispute resolution process, each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice if the other Party is in material breach of this Agreement and the breaching Party fails to cure such breach before the 30-day notice period expires.
Specific case. In the absence of a suitable candidate to fill Customer open position(s) within 60 days of signature of the Agreement, Customer may decide to terminate the latter. In this case, Customer will send an email with an acknowledgment receipt to EducaZone within 15 days’ prior notice. No compensation will be due by EducaZone as a result of this termination.
Suspension of Services. With or without terminating this Agreement, EducaZone may suspend its delivery of the Services for any period when Customer is in breach until such time as the breach is cured.
Effect of Termination. Upon termination for any reason other than the material breach of EducaZone or an Event of Force Majeure, any amounts owed under this Agreement by the Customer will be immediately due and payable. In the event of termination as the result of material breach by EducaZone or an Event of Force Majeure, if the Customer has fully paid the Compensation due for the Term, EducaZone will refund to Customer the proportion of the Compensation attributable to the period of time remaining in the Term up until, but not including, the next anniversary of the Effective Date of the SOW. Upon expiration or termination of the Agreement for any reason whatsoever, the Services will be disconnected. EducaZone will return to the Customer or delete or have deleted all Customer Data related to the Services within sixty (60) days after the expiry or termination of the Agreement. Before such deletion, and upon request of the Customer within thirty (30) days after the expiry or termination of the Agreement, the Customer Data will be transferred to the Customer.
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
Ownership of Materials. Title to the Program Materials and Instructional System and any modifications, improvements, or adjustments made to the Program Materials or Instructional System made by Customer will remain with EducaZone, subject to the limited license provided to Customer in this SOW. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to grant to Customer any rights in the EducaZone’ IP, other than the limited license provided by EducaZone. It is understood between the Parties that EducaZone is a subsidiary of EducaZone SAS, a French company, which owns intellectual property rights related to the Services.
License for Instructional System, Program Materials, and EducaZone IP. EducaZone grants to Customer a nonexclusive, non transferable, revocable license, during the Term, to allow Apprentices to use the Instructional System, Program Materials, and EducaZone’ IP only for participation in and utilization of the Programs, subject to Customer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the RAP Requirements, and other Requirements of Law.
This license is only granted to Customer, and any attempt to transfer it or any of the rights associated with it shall be void. The Instructional System, Program Materials, and EducaZone IP are owned by EducaZone, incorporate EducaZone’ trade secrets, and incorporate components protected under copyright and other intellectual property laws as applicable.
Derivative Works and Feedback.Customer acknowledges and agrees that all Derivative Works are owned by EducaZone and that the Derivative Works may be made available by EducaZone to other customers.

To the extent that EducaZone receives Feedback, EducaZone may use, disclose, and exploit such Feedback to improve the Programs, the Instructional System, or the EducaZone IP, and to develop and provide other programs and services. Customer hereby grants to EducaZone a fully paid, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, and fully sublicensable right and license to use, reproduce, perform, display, distribute, adapt, modify, re-format, create derivative works of, and otherwise commercially or non-commercially exploit in any manner, any and all Feedback, and to sublicense the foregoing rights, in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Instructional System, the Services, and/or EducaZone’ business.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that EducaZone may issue press releases, presentation materials, and other publicity relating to the Programs, and may include the Customer’s corporate name and/or distinctive signs on a list of commercial references communicated to the public, in particular on the Platform and in the commercial documentation of EducaZone, provided that such materials contain no confidential materials of Customer. Except as permitted in the preceding sentence, neither Party will issue any press releases, media statements, press or media interview, or presentations about this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party.
U.S. Government Restricted Rights. If a Customer is a governmental entity, then this provision also applies to Customer.
