This Statement of Work and the project parameters it contains are based on the following assumptions. If an assumption is incomplete, incorrect or becomes incorrect, ES Cyber Solutions may change the project’s parameters including but not limited to scope, cost or schedule, of the work defined herein. The change management procedure described in this document will be used to manage modifications.
Changes to these assumptions may impact the overall timeline, deliverables and costs.
1. The project schedule is highly dependent on the availability of the customer’s staff to provide input, review deliverables and provide signoff. If resources are not available on a timely basis, the schedule and resulting fee will need to be revised.
2. The scope and objectives of the project will be jointly managed by the customer and ES Cyber Solutions to ensure timely completion of the project.
3. While they are on site, ES Cyber Solutions engineers will be provided with appropriate working space, including power and network access, so that they may conduct the necessary tests and meetings.
4. Some services may be performed at ES Cyber Solutions’ location(s).
5. IT resources committed to the engagement will be committed to the degree necessary to complete the project.
6. IT resources will be made available for information gathering and validation, reviews and other input.
7. Once ES Cyber Solutions agrees to a start date for the engagement, it is understood that ES Cyber Solutions will commit the appropriate engineering resources to be available for the project at that time. Should the customer alter the kickoff time within a period of one week prior to the agreed-upon start date, ES Cyber Solutions reserves the right to collect a fee of up to $500, to be determined based on the impact of this change on the calendars of the engineers and other ES Cyber Solutions customers.
8. The work will be performed during regular business hours.

CONFIDENTIALITY
a. ES Cyber Solutions/Subcontractor Information. Subcontractor recognizes and acknowledges that, by virtue of entering into this Agreement and providing services hereunder, it shall have limited access to Confidential Information for on-site engagements.

Subcontractor shall safeguard such Confidential Information according to the highest industry standards and at least as strictly as it would its own proprietary and Confidential Information or as specified herein.
c. Neither Subcontractor nor its respective staff shall disclose the terms of this Agreement to any person who is not a party or signatory to this Agreement, unless disclosure thereof is required by law or otherwise authorized by this Agreement. Unauthorized disclosure of the terms of this Agreement shall be a material breach of this Agreement and shall provide the customer in question with the option of pursuing remedies for breach or immediate termination of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions stated herein.
d. In the event that one Party receives a lawful request for Confidential Information of the other Party, the Party receiving the request shall notify the other Party immediately and inform them of the nature and scope of any request, and shall give the Party who owns the Confidential Information an opportunity to lawfully oppose such production.
