1 <br /> <br />Exhibit A <br />PUBLIC ENTITY RIDER TO MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT <br /> <br />This Rider (“Rider”) is attached to the Master Services Agreement dated effective October 1, 2022 (the “Master <br />Services Agreement”), between Orange County Emergency Services (“Client”) and Social Solutions Global, Inc. <br />(“SSG”), to modify the terms and conditions to the Master Services Agreement. Client and SSG each may be <br />referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” <br /> <br />The Parties agree to modify the terms and conditions of the Master Services Agreement as follows: <br /> <br />1. Section 5.1 General. Section 5.1 is hereby modified as follows (additions are represented by underline <br />and deletions are represented by strikethrough): <br /> <br />“Fees and payment terms are specified in the applicable Order Form. All fees are in United States Dollars and <br />exclude taxes. Client is responsible for payment of all applicable taxes (excluding those on SSG's net income) <br />relating to the provision of the Services. Except as otherwise expressly specified in the Order Form, all recurring <br />fees payment obligations start from the execution of the Order Form. SSG may increase recurring fees on an annual <br />basis upon 60 days prior written notice. Unless otherwise specified in the Order Form, payment of invoiced fees is <br />due 30 days after the invoice date. In the event the amount stated on an invoice is disputed in good faith by the <br />Client, the Client may withhold payment of all or a portion of the amount stated on an invoice until the parties <br />resolve the dispute. Interest accrues on past due balances at the lesser of 1½% per month or the highest rate <br />allowed by law. Failure to make timely payments is a material breach of the Agreement and SSG will be entitled to <br />suspend any or all of its performance obligations hereunder in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.4 <br />and/or to modify the payment terms, and to request full payment before any additional performance is rendered <br />by SSG. As may be allowed by North Carolina law, Client agrees to reimburse SSG for expenses incurred, including <br />interest and reasonable attorney fees, in collecting amounts due SSG hereunder that are not under good faith <br />dispute by Client. Amounts paid or payable for SaaS Services are not contingent upon the performance of any <br />Professional Services. Client agrees that its purchases hereunder are neither contingent on the delivery of any <br />future functionality or features nor dependent on any oral or written comments made by SSG regarding future <br />functionality or features.” <br /> <br />2. Section 6(a) Ownership. Section 6(a) is hereby modified as follows (additions are represented by <br />underline and deletions are represented by strikethrough): <br /> <br />“Ownership. The SaaS Services and all equipment, infrastructure, websites and other materials provided by <br />SSG in the performance of Services will always remain the exclusive, sole and absolute property of SSG or its <br />licensors. Client does not acquire any right, title, or interest in or to the SaaS Services. If Client provides any <br />suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, feedback, or recommendations relating to the SaaS Services or <br />Professional Services (collectively, “Feedback”), provided that such Feedback does not contain Confidential <br />Information of Client, SSG may use such Feedback as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion without any <br />restriction or obligation to Client. Client has no obligation to provide Feedback. All rights, title and interest in <br />or to any copyright, trademark, service mark, trade secret, and other proprietary right relating to the SaaS <br />Services and the related logos, Service names, etc. and all rights not expressly granted are reserved by SSG and <br />its licensors. Client may not obscure, alter or remove any copyright, patent, trademark, service mark or <br />proprietary rights notices on any portion of the SaaS Services or other materials, including SSG <br />Documentation.” <br /> <br />3.
