What is a Standard Services Agreement?

A standard services agreement is a common business document that outlines the services to be provided by an individual or company in exchange for compensation. A contract of this type usually includes information about the scope and duration of work, payment terms, service expectations, termination provisions, and other relevant details.

One would use this document when multiple parties are involved in providing goods or services. The most common example is when an individual hires someone else to provide them with services that they cannot deliver on their own (e.g., web design).

As used herein, the term “Confidential Information” shall include, without limitation, all Work Product as defined below, all information designated by HP as confidential, all information or data concerning or related to HP’s products including the discovery, invention, research, improvement, development, manufacture, or sale thereof), processes, or general business operations (including sales costs, profits, pricing methods, organization, and employee lists), and any information obtained through access to any Information Systems (including but not limited to computers, networks, voice mail, etc.) which, if not otherwise described above, is of such a nature that a reasonable person would believe it to be confidential or proprietary. Supplier will protect the confidentiality of Confidential Information with the same degree of care as Supplier uses for its own similar information, but in no event less than reasonable care. Supplier will obtain a similar agreement from any employee, Subcontractors or agent performing services under this Agreement.

 

  11.2 Access to Information Systems. Access, if any, to HP’s Information Systems is granted solely to perform the Services under this Agreement, and is limited to those specific HP Information Systems, time periods and personnel as are separately agreed to by HP and Supplier from time to time. HP may require Supplier’s employees, Subcontractors or agents to sign individual agreements prior to access to HP’s Information Systems. Use of HP Information Systems during other time periods or by individuals not authorized by HP is expressly prohibited. Access is subject to HP business control and information protection policies, standards and guidelines as may be modified from time to time. Use of any other HP Information Systems is expressly prohibited. This prohibition applies even when an HP Information System that Supplier is authorized to access serves as a gateway to other Information Systems outside Supplier’s scope of authorization. Supplier agrees to access Information Systems only from specific locations approved for access by HP. For access outside of HP premises, HP will designate the specific network connections to be used to access Information Systems.

 

  11.3 Security of Information. Without limiting the foregoing, Supplier agrees to maintain security measures to comply with the above obligations and to ensure that access granted will not impair the integrity and availability of HP Systems. Upon reasonable notice, HP may audit Supplier to verify Supplier’s compliance with these obligations.

 

  11.4 Exclusions. The foregoing confidentiality obligations will not apply to Confidential Information that (a) is already known to Supplier prior to disclosure by HP; (b) is or becomes a matter of public knowledge through no fault of Supplier; (c) is rightfully received from a third party by Supplier without a duty of confidentiality; (d) is independently developed by Supplier; (e) is disclosed under operation of law; or (f) is disclosed by Supplier with the prior written approval of HP.

(including such third parties’ employees) and any other additional data deemed as personal data under the applicable personal data protection laws, which are available for Supplier for processing them on behalf of HP pursuant to the Agreement and all purchase orders issued pursuant to said Agreement (collectively, hereinafter referred to as the “Agreement”).

 

  12.2 Processing and Use of Personal Data.

 

  (a) Supplier may process and use the Personal Data only to perform its obligations under the Agreement and may disclose them only to Supplier’s employees that have a need to know them for the performance of such obligations and are bound by confidentiality obligations not less restrictive than those contained in this Agreement. Supplier may not sell, rent or lease Personal Data to anyone.

 

  (b) Supplier may not disclose the Personal Data to any other third party, even for their preservation, nor transfer the Personal Data to any third country without the prior written consent of HP. In case Supplier is authorized by HP for subcontracting any services involving collecting, using, storing, transferring and otherwise processing Personal Data, Supplier will agree with its subcontractors to protect and process the Personal Data under terms no less restrictive than those contained in this Agreement. Furthermore, HP reserves the right, at its sole option, to enter into additional confidentiality agreements directly with such subcontractors in order to ensure adequate protection of Personal Data and comply with any applicable laws.

 

  12.3 Security Measures.

 

  (a) Supplier shall use the same degree of care, but never less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent unauthorized use, dissemination or publication of the Personal Data, as it uses to protect its own information of similar nature, and will implement any technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data which are required by the applicable law.

 

  (b) At a minimum, Supplier agrees:

 

  (i) To implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data against (i) accidental or unlawful destruction or loss, (ii) unauthorized disclosure or access, in particular where processing involves the transmission of Personal Data over a network, (iii) alteration, and (iv) all other unlawful forms of processing.

 

  (ii) To implement appropriate procedures to ensure that (i) unauthorized persons will not have access to the data processing equipment used to process the Personal Data, (ii) any persons it authorizes to have access to the Personal Data will respect and maintain the confidentiality and security of the Personal Data, and (iii) the measures and procedures that it uses will be sufficient to comply with all applicable legal requirements.

 

  12.4 Additional Supplier Obligations. Supplier agrees:

 

  (a) To act only in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and, if requested by Supplier and/or provided by HP, on instruction from HP in connection with protecting, collecting, storing, transferring and otherwise processing of Personal Data.

 

  (b) Not to copy or reproduce any Personal Data without the express written permission of HP, except as technically necessary to comply with this Agreement (e.g., duplication of data stocks as backup protection against loss of data).

 

  (c) To inform HP promptly in writing if it becomes aware of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Personal Data by itself or others.

 

  (d) To inform HP promptly in writing if Supplier is of the opinion that any instruction from HP violates the applicable personal data protection regulations.

 

  (e) When collecting, using, storing, transferring and otherwise processing, Supplier shall adhere to all applicable export and personal data laws, regulations and rules.

  12.6 Disclaimers.

 

  (a) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an obligation (i) to disclose any particular information, (ii) to incorporate any disclosed information into a product, (iii) to warrant the accuracy or completeness of any information disclosed hereunder.

 

  (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed as an exclusion of any laws, regulations or rules pertaining to protection of personal data or export regulations that may be applicable to the services provided by Supplier under the Agreement and that must be observed by Supplier.

If Supplier is not the owner of such pre-existing intellectual property, Supplier will obtain from the owner any rights necessary to enable Supplier to comply with this Agreement. If Supplier uses any pre-existing intellectual property in connection with this Agreement, Supplier hereby grants to HP a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual license to make, have made, sell, use, reproduce, modify, adapt, display, distribute, make other versions of and disclose the property and to sublicense others to do these things.

After starting my professional career in Human Resources in the Healthcare and Non-profit fields, I decided to expand my options and attended law school, passing the North Carolina bar in 2016. Since then, I have practiced in-house for healthcare companies, in the civil rights arena, and run my own business. I am currently looking to return to my legal roots and am excited to practice business law again.
