Modifications to Office Depot Remote Service Program Description

 

1. Consignment Payment Status. Effective Sunday June 14, 2009, Office Depot will change the payment process for all Services and Subscriptions ordered through SDMS and transacted through the in-store point of sale system (collectively, “Consignment Orders”) to its standard consignment process, as further described herein. Under this standard process, Office Depot shall supply a daily report to SupportSoft, containing the data collected by Office Depot’s point of sale system (the “POS Data”). Office Depot shall indicate on each such report the time zone applicable to the POS Data. On a weekly basis, Office Depot will remit payment to SupportSoft for every Consignment Order transacted during each retail week. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Office Depot retail week, as referenced herein, starts on Sunday and ends with the close of business on the following Saturday. Each such weekly payment for the week’s Consignment Orders shall be referred to as a “Consignment Payment”. Each Consignment Payment will be due to SupportSoft net 30 days from the Saturday that marks the end of the corresponding retail week.

 

  (a) Per the terms of the Agreement, Office Depot will remain responsible for paying SupportSoft for all services delivered, as defined by incident based services marked as “completed” in the SDMS system and by subscription services activated in the SDMS system (collectively, “Delivered Services”). The parties acknowledge that Office Depot retains the obligation to pay for these Delivered Services even if they do not appear in the POS Data. As set forth in the Agreement, Office Depot shall pay SupportSoft monthly for all Delivered Services for that month, to the extent that the Fees for such Delivered Services are not reflected in the Consignment Payments.
