These Terms & Conditions, together with the executed Engagement Form (the “Engagement Form”), form the entire agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of the Effective Date, and entered into by and between Orchestra Sales Development Ltd. a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel, with registration number 516195229 (“Orchestra”) and the Customer identified in the Engagement Form (the “Customer”) (each a “Party”, and collectively the “Parties”).
- Interpretation. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Engagement Form.
- The Services. Orchestra is an expert in providing cold prospecting and business development services based on technology, resources, leads, methods, know-how, prospects and contact lists of Orchestra (the “Services”). The Customer hereby wishes Orchestra to provide it with the Services in accordance with the terms hereof:
- Setup – The setup process is to define the Customer’s business and prospecting strategy, during which Orchestra’s teams shall have calls with the Customer, prepare a written brief and a complete playbook plan (which shall include phone scripts, email templates, discovery questions, objections, and qualification scripts) (the “Setup Services”).
- Sales Prospecting Activities – The sales development effort (“Sales Prospecting Activities”) shall be carried out by one or more salesperson(s), with the goal of reaching the agreed monthly target.
- Meetings Target – the agreed amount of qualified sales meetings generated by Orchestra for the Customer, per month, or in total for the entire time frame of the collaboration (the “Target”)
- Qualified Meetings – “Qualified Meetings” shall refer to commercial sales meetings with prospected companies booked by Orchestra and that abide by the qualification criteria detailed in the “targeting” part of the “customer’s brief”, defined during the “Setup”. As a general definition, a meeting is considered as “Qualified” as long as :
- it has been booked with a relevant account (within the “Ideal Client Profile” definition made in the “brief”)
- it has been booked with a relevant decision maker or influencer
- the prospect came to the meeting
- Any failure of the Customer to attend the meeting will be considered as the Customer’s automatic approval and qualification of the meeting as a Qualified Meeting. In the event that the Customer notifies Orchestra in advance that it is precluded from attending a meeting for a good reason, Orchestra will utilize its reasonable efforts to reschedule such meeting, as deemed possible under such circumstances.
- The Customer may object to the qualification of the meeting as a “Qualified Meeting” within 48 hours after the meeting. Any failure to do so, will automatically qualify the meeting as Qualified Meeting. In the event of dispute with regard to the automatic qualification of a meeting, Orchestra shall decide on such a claim made by the Customer, at its sole discretion based on the qualification criteria, in good faith, and in an objective manner.
- In any case where the Customer continues the sales process by scheduling another meeting, call or email with the prospected company, the meeting subject to the dispute shall be deemed qualified and due by the Customer, and the Customer shall have no right to claim otherwise in that matter.
- In case the Customer contests a meeting and Orchestra finds out that the Customer has continued the sales process and has continued talking with the prospect (email, call, meetings), the Customer will be charged twice the meeting fees on this meeting.
- In case Orchestra fails to reach the “Target“, meaning it fails to deliver the agreed amount of “Qualified Meetings” within the agreed timeframe, Orchestra will keep on prospecting, at no aditionnal cost for the Customer, until the “Target” is reached.
- Monthly Report; Invoice. At the end of each month, Orchestra shall provide the Customer with a detailed summary of Services rendered during the preceding month, including the total leads generated (the “Monthly Report”), and a corresponding invoice (the “Monthly Invoice”). The Customer shall be entitled to provide comments to the Monthly Report and to the Monthly Invoice within 15 days of receipt thereof. Failure to provide comments shall be deemed acceptance thereof.
- Fees. The Customer shall pay Orchestra, all fees in connection with this Agreement and the Services provided therewith, and all as stipulated in the Engagement Form (the “Fees”). The Fees shall include the following fees:
- “Setup Fee” – a single payment due and payable upon the signing of the Agreement, for the provision of the Setup Services.
- “Prospecting Fee” – a fixed fee incurred on a monthly basis, for the provision of the Sales Prospecting Activities and the generation of the Qualified Meetings.
- Payment Terms. Payment terms shall be as detailed in the Engagement Form.
- Delayed Payment.
- Any delay in payment of all or part of an amount due to Orchestra on its due date under this Agreement will automatically bear (from the day following the due date for payment shown on the invoice) late interest, at the rate of 5% for every 15 days period, and a flat-rate compensation of € 40 for collection costs.
- In any case of late payment of more than thirty (30) days, Orchestra shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without prior notice. In such a case, the sums invoiced will remain due by the Customer, and the latter will also be liable for the Early Termination Fee in accordance with Section 10.3
- Taxes. The Fees shall be exclusive (net) of any taxes, customs, and fees, which may apply, including without limitation VAT (if applicable).
- Tax Gross Up. All payments to be made by the Customer to Orchestra hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of taxes unless the Customer is required to make such a payment subject to the deduction or withholding of taxes, in which case the sum payable deduction or withholding is required to be made shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that Orchestra receives a sum net of any withholding or deduction equal to the sum which it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made or required to be made.
- Non-Solicitation. The Customer should not be in direct touch with Orchestra’s Sales Consultants without the presence of Orchestra’s managers. The Customer undertakes that during the Term and for a period of 1 year thereafter, it shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or engage the Sales Consultants directly, in any manner, without the prior written approval of Orchestra. If the Customer hires a Sales Consultant FTE from Orchestra during the Term and for a period of 1 year thereafter, the Customer will pay Orchestra, as liquidated damages, the sum of EUR 50,000 within a month.
- Term and Termination. This Agreement shall be in effect during the Initial Term commencing from the Effective Date. At the expiration of the Initial Term, if the “Automatic Renewal” is agreed in the Engagement Form, then this Agreement will automatically renew for the same period of time (each a “Renewed Term”, and collectively with the Initial Term the “Term”), with the same conditions, unless otherwise notified by Customer to Orchestra at least 2 months prior to the expiry of the Initial Term or Renewed Term (as the case may be), starting on the first day of the following month of the written notice month.

- immediately, if the Customer is involved in any proven and serious act or conduct that jeopardizes the reputation of Orchestra;

- In the event that: (i) the Customer terminates this Agreement in breach of Section 10(ii); and/or (ii) becomes insolvent or otherwise falls under Section 10(i)(d), the Customer shall be liable to pay Orchestra, an “Early Termination Fee” of the amount of the “Prospecting Fee” multiplied by the number of months during which the Customer was not entitled to terminate this Agreement according to Section 10. Such an amount shall constitute liquidated damages and is deemed a genuine estimate of Orchestra’s damage suffered as a result of such wrongful termination.
