Master Services Terms and Catalog of Services Descriptions
Version: v1.0
Effective Date: December 10, 2025
Master Services Terms
These Master Service Terms (“Master Services Terms”) govern the professional services that Merge API, Inc. (“Merge”) may provide to customers (“Customer”) in connection with use by Customers of the Merge Unified API and other hosted software applications (the “Service”). The specific professional services offered by Merge (the “Services”) are set forth in various “Services Descriptions” referencing these Master Services Terms, which may be purchased by a Customer by means of inclusion of a corresponding SKU (each, a “Services SKU”) on an Order Form. These Master Services Terms do not, by themselves, obligate either party to perform Services. Services will be performed only upon execution of an Order Form referencing one or more Services SKUs.
Order Forms will define the commercial terms applicable to each engagement, including pricing, quantities, and timelines. In the event of a conflict, the following order of precedence will prevail: Order Form, followed by the applicable Services Description(s), followed by these Master Services Terms, followed by the Master Service Agreement between Merge and the Customer (“MSA”).
1. Purpose and Use
These Master Services Terms govern the standard service offerings available from Merge. Each Service Description includes a description of scope, deliverables, assumptions, and acceptance criteria applicable to each such offering. Order Forms may reference multiple Services SKUs. These Master Services Terms will be incorporated by reference into any Order Form that includes a Services SKU.
2. General Assumptions
Unless otherwise stated in a Services Description or Order Form:
- Customer will provide timely access to personnel, systems, test environments, documentation, and decision-makers necessary for performance of the Services.
- Services will be performed remotely during normal business hours unless otherwise agreed in writing.
- Customer is responsible for internal testing, deployment, and change management unless separately contracted.
- Delays in Customer responsibilities may impact timelines and fees.
3. Standard Responsibilities
Merge Responsibilities
Merge will:
- Perform Services in a professional and workmanlike manner;
- Provide qualified personnel to execute the Services;
- Communicate status and material issues in a commercially reasonable manner; and
- Perform configuration or advisory work within the Merge platform where applicable.
Customer Responsibilities
Customer will:
- Provide resources with sufficient knowledge and authority to make timely decisions;
- Supply required documentation, testing accounts, and integration templates;
- Review and approve deliverables in a commercially reasonable time frame; and
- Perform any required development or configuration in Customer systems or codebase.
4. Changes to Scope
Any material change to the scope, sequencing, or duration of the Services will require a written change request, which may be executed via email. Approved changes may result in adjustments to fees and delivery timelines.
5. Acceptance
Upon completion of a deliverable or milestone, Merge will notify Customer (“Initial Delivery”). Customer will have ten (10) business days to review and either (a) confirm acceptance, or (b) provide written notice of material deficiencies. Absent such notice, deliverables will be deemed accepted 10 business days from Initial Delivery. Merge will correct any material deficiencies promptly, and the corrected deliverables will be deemed accepted upon re-delivery.
6. Legal Terms
- Unless otherwise set forth in an Order Form or in a Services Description, all work product created by Merge in connection with the Services, will be deemed to be Merge intellectual property, and Merge will be entitled to offer such intellectual property to its other customers as part of the Service.
- Merge’s liability for the performance of each Services SKU is limited to the fees paid for such Services SKU.
7. Termination
Either party may terminate the portion of an Order Form attributable to a Services engagement in accordance with the termination provisions of the MSA.
