12. Non-Circumvention; Protected Vendors; Liquidated Damages
Non-Circumvention
During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of twelve (12) months following the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, Company (Client) shall not, directly or indirectly, circumvent, bypass, avoid, or otherwise seek to evade Slingshot by ProntoBPO for the purpose of obtaining, purchasing, or receiving services, technology, support, personnel, or other services that are substantially similar to, related to, or competitive with the Services directly or indirectly from any third-party service provider, subcontractor, technology provider, supplier, or other vendor introduced, sourced, engaged, managed, or utilized by Slingshot by ProntoBPO in connection with the Services (each, a “Protected Vendor”).
Without limiting the foregoing, Company (Client) shall not, directly or indirectly, during the applicable restricted period:
- enter into, negotiate, solicit, facilitate, or maintain any agreement, arrangement, or business relationship with a Protected Vendor for services substantially similar to, related to, or competitive with the Services;
- contract directly with, purchase services from, or otherwise engage a Protected Vendor for the purpose of obtaining services that Slingshot by ProntoBPO provides, coordinates, or facilitates under this Agreement;
- use an affiliate, subsidiary, parent company, related entity, agent, representative, intermediary, consultant, or other third party to accomplish indirectly what Company (Client) is prohibited from doing directly under this Section;
- encourage, request, or induce a Protected Vendor to discontinue, reduce, or circumvent its business relationship with Slingshot by ProntoBPO for the purpose of providing services directly to Company (Client); or
- use information, pricing, contacts, introductions, negotiated terms, processes, or other business relationships obtained through Slingshot by ProntoBPO to establish or facilitate a direct or indirect relationship with a Protected Vendor.
This restriction shall apply regardless of whether the direct or indirect relationship with the Protected Vendor is established during the Term or during the twelve (12) month period following expiration or termination of this Agreement.
Protected Vendor
For purposes of this Section, a Protected Vendor includes any vendor, subcontractor, service provider, technology provider, or other third party that Slingshot by ProntoBPO introduces to Company (Client), identifies to Company (Client), engages on Company (Client)’s behalf, utilizes in providing the Services, or whose services, capabilities, pricing, or relationship become known to Company (Client) through Slingshot by ProntoBPO in connection with the Services. Slingshot by ProntoBPO may identify specific Protected Vendors in writing, including by email, from time to time.
The initial Protected Vendor(s) are: NLPearl
Liquidated Damages
The parties acknowledge and agree that a breach of this Section would cause Slingshot by ProntoBPO substantial economic harm, including the loss of anticipated revenue, vendor relationship value, customer acquisition costs, implementation and onboarding investments, negotiated commercial benefits, and other damages that would be difficult to determine with precision at the time of contracting. Accordingly, the parties agree that the following amount represents a reasonable estimate of the damages Slingshot by ProntoBPO would incur as a result of such circumvention and is intended as liquidated damages and not as a penalty.
If Company (Client), directly or indirectly, enters into or facilitates a business relationship with a Protected Vendor in violation of this Section, Company (Client) shall pay Slingshot by ProntoBPO, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to the greater of:
- twelve (12) months of the fees, charges, commissions, or other amounts that Slingshot by ProntoBPO reasonably would have received from Company (Client) in connection with the applicable Services or Protected Vendor relationship; or
- twelve (12) months of the amounts paid or payable by Company (Client), or on Company (Client)’s behalf, to the Protected Vendor pursuant to the circumventing arrangement,
calculated using the applicable rates, volumes, fees, or charges in effect immediately prior to the circumvention.
The liquidated damages shall become immediately due and payable upon discovery of the prohibited relationship or arrangement and shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, Slingshot by ProntoBPO’s right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent or terminate the prohibited relationship.
Continuing Obligations; Additional Remedies
Company (Client) acknowledges that monetary damages alone may be inadequate to remedy a breach of this Section. Accordingly, in addition to the liquidated damages described above, Slingshot by ProntoBPO shall be entitled to seek temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief, specific performance, and any other remedies available at law or in equity to prevent, restrain, or terminate any prohibited conduct, without the requirement to prove actual damages or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, post a bond.
If Company (Client) has already entered into a prohibited direct or indirect relationship with a Protected Vendor, Slingshot by ProntoBPO may, in addition to the remedies above, require Company (Client) to cease such relationship for the remainder of the applicable twelve (12) month restricted period.
Pre-Existing Relationships
This Section shall not prohibit Company (Client) from maintaining or entering into a relationship with a vendor that Company (Client) can demonstrate through contemporaneous written documentation was an established business relationship of Company (Client) prior to Slingshot by ProntoBPO’s introduction of, engagement with, or involvement with such vendor, provided that Company (Client) does not use Slingshot by ProntoBPO’s confidential information, pricing, negotiated terms, or other proprietary information to expand or modify such pre-existing relationship in a manner that circumvents Slingshot by ProntoBPO.
No Waiver
Slingshot by ProntoBPO’s failure to immediately enforce any provision of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of its right to enforce such provision in the future. The obligations contained in this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for the full twelve (12) month restricted period.
13. Miscellaneous
a. Force Majeure
Neither Party shall be liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, government restrictions, telecommunications outages, internet outages, utility failures, labor disruptions, or similar events.
The affected Party shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the event.
Force majeure does not excuse payment obligations for Services already performed or obligations that can reasonably be performed despite the event, including applicable confidentiality and data-security obligations.
b. Severability
