1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to QuickNex IT ("we," "our," "us"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our website at www.quicknexit.com, as well as the IT services we provide, including Managed IT, Cybersecurity, Cloud Solutions, QNAP Business Storage, POS Solutions, and Networking.

By accessing our website, engaging our services, or signing a service agreement or statement of work with us, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access our website or use our services.

2. Scope of Services

QuickNex IT provides information technology consulting, management, and support services to small and medium-sized businesses in the Greater Toronto Area and beyond. The specific services to be provided to a client are defined in a separate Service Agreement, Master Services Agreement (MSA), or Statement of Work (SOW) executed between QuickNex IT and the client.

In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a signed Service Agreement, the terms of the signed Service Agreement shall prevail regarding the provision of services. These Terms govern general website usage and standard service delivery protocols.

3. Client Responsibilities

To ensure the successful delivery of our services, the client agrees to the following responsibilities:

• Access and Cooperation: Provide QuickNex IT with timely access to systems, facilities, and personnel as required for service delivery, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
• Accurate Information: Provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information regarding your IT environment, business requirements, and known issues.
• Compliance: Ensure that your use of our services complies with all applicable local, provincial, and federal laws and regulations, including software licensing compliance.
• Authorized Personnel: Designate authorized points of contact within your organization to request service, approve changes, and receive communications from QuickNex IT.
• Third-Party Vendors: Coordinate with third-party vendors (e.g., internet service providers, specialized software vendors) when their cooperation is necessary for QuickNex IT to deliver services.
• Network and Power: Maintain the physical environment, power, and internet connectivity required for the deployed hardware and software, unless explicitly managed by QuickNex IT.

4. Fees, Billing, and Payment

4.1 Service Fees

Fees for QuickNex IT services are outlined in your signed Service Agreement. Managed IT services are typically billed on a flat monthly rate, while project-based services (e.g., cloud migrations, network installs) are billed as quoted.

4.2 Billing Cycle

Recurring monthly services are billed in advance on the first day of each billing cycle. One-time project services may require a deposit, with the balance due upon project completion or according to agreed-upon milestones.

4.3 Payment Terms

Invoices are due and payable within fifteen (15) days of the invoice date unless otherwise specified. Payments can be made via credit card, pre-authorized debit, or electronic funds transfer (EFT).

4.4 Late Payments

Late payments may be subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month (18% annually) on the outstanding balance, or the maximum rate permitted by law. QuickNex IT reserves the right to suspend services if an account is more than thirty (30) days past due.

4.5 Price Changes

QuickNex IT reserves the right to adjust service fees upon contract renewal. Clients will be provided with at least thirty (30) days' written notice of any price increases prior to the renewal date.

5. Intellectual Property

All content, materials, tools, and software provided by QuickNex IT—including documentation, monitoring tools, scripts, and proprietary methodologies—remain the exclusive intellectual property of QuickNex IT or its licensors. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer any of our proprietary tools without our express written consent.

Any custom configurations, scripts, or documentation created specifically for your environment during the course of service delivery shall be deemed work made for hire, and ownership shall transfer to you upon full payment for the services rendered, except for any underlying proprietary QuickNex IT frameworks which shall remain our property.

6. Confidentiality and Data Protection

QuickNex IT respects the confidentiality of your business data. We will not disclose, share, or use your confidential information except as necessary to provide the contracted services or as required by law. Our handling of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy.

Both parties agree to protect each other's confidential information with the same degree of care used to protect their own, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care.

7. Warranties and Disclaimers

7.1 Service Warranty

QuickNex IT warrants that its services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner, consistent with industry standards. If a service fails to meet this warranty, we will, at our option, re-perform the service or issue a refund for the specific non-conforming service.

7.2 Third-Party Warranties

We are not responsible for the performance, reliability, or failures of third-party hardware, software, or cloud platforms (e.g., Microsoft, AWS, Google Cloud, QNAP). We will act as a liaison with these vendors where applicable, but their respective terms of service and warranties govern their products.

7.3 Disclaimers

Except as expressly stated in these Terms, QuickNex IT disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee that our services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure, as no IT system is entirely immune to outages or cyberattacks.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall QuickNex IT, its officers, directors, employees, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, business interruption, or reputational damage arising out of or related to the use of our services.

QuickNex IT’s total aggregate liability for any claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the provision of services shall not exceed the total amount paid by you to QuickNex IT for the specific service giving rise to the claim during the three (3) months preceding the event giving rise to the liability.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless QuickNex IT and its affiliates from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the services, your breach of these Terms, or your infringement of any third-party rights (including software licensing violations). We will notify you promptly of any such claim and provide reasonable cooperation in your defense.

10. Term, Termination, and Suspension

10.1 Term

These Terms remain in effect for the duration of your engagement with QuickNex IT and continue to bind both parties regarding obligations post-termination.

10.2 Termination for Convenience

Either party may terminate a managed service agreement upon thirty (30) days' written notice, subject to any minimum term commitments specified in your Service Agreement.

10.3 Termination for Cause

We may suspend or terminate services immediately if you fail to pay undisputed invoices, breach these Terms, engage in illegal or fraudulent activity, or pose a security risk to our infrastructure or other clients.

10.4 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, you are responsible for all fees incurred up to the termination date. We will transition management of your systems and provide reasonable off-boarding assistance as specified in your Service Agreement.

11. Backup and Disaster Recovery

If your services include managed backup, you acknowledge that data backup and recovery involve inherent risks. While QuickNex IT employs industry best practices to ensure data integrity, no backup solution is guaranteed to be 100% effective. It is the client's responsibility to verify backup reports provided by QuickNex IT and to perform periodic test restores. QuickNex IT is not liable for data loss resulting from catastrophic hardware failure, ransomware, or third-party cloud outages beyond our control.

12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario, Canada.

13. Changes to These Terms

QuickNex IT may update or modify these Terms at any time. We will notify clients of material changes via email or a prominent notice on our website. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting. Your continued use of our website or services after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
