Contingency Agreement
This Agreement between Auditec, LLC (“Auditec”) and ___________________________________________________
(“the Client”) shall be for 24 months of savings commencing on the date of
execution of savings. Auditec agrees to act as Utility Consultants on the
Client’s behalf. Auditec shall conduct a Utility (electric, gas, water,
cellular, internet/data, local, long distance) Audit by analyzing the Client’s
bills. Upon completion of the audit Auditec will provide the Client with a
detailed report which will contain the following information:
A.
REFUNDS
The first part of the report will
identify refunds and/or credits that the Client will receive due to billing
errors.
For refunds or credits from any utility company, the Client
agrees to pay Auditec a fee equal to fifty percent (50%) of the refunds and/or
credits that result from the audit. The fee is payable upon receipt of the
refund or credit.
B.
MONTHLY
BILLING REDUCTIONS The second part of the report will identify any areas where the Client
can reduce their monthly utility expenses.
Auditec will provide the Client with a list of
recommendations for the Client’s review and approval. For each recommendation,
Auditec will disclose the dollar amount that the Client’s monthly bills will be
reduced. If, for any reason, a recommendation does not meet the Client’s
approval, the Client will have 15 days from the receipt of the report to notify
Auditec. Thereafter,
all recommendations will be deemed accepted and Auditec will implement all such
recommendation on behalf of the Client. Auditec’s recommendations will not
relate to or be predicated upon a reduction of the Client’s consumption, level
of service, or altering your business operations in any way. The Client
understands that these recommendations will likely be imperceptible, except in
the form of reduced billings.
For monthly billing reductions, the Client agrees to pay
Auditec a fee equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount the Client’s bills are
reduced for 24 months of savings. The fee shall be due and payable monthly. The
Client may request verification from the utility provider that its billing
reduction and the cost reduction were brought about by recommendations Auditec
provided.
There will be no fee for Auditec’s service if:
§
The
Client does not receive a refund, credit, or a monthly savings.
§
The
Client does not accept the cost reduction recommendations.
Auditec retains the right to conduct any utility audit
during the term of this agreement. Should the Client conduct an in-house review,
or engage any vendor, business or entity to conduct any analysis or audit
duplicating Auditec’s results, or producing cost reduction recommendations
equivalent to, or of a similar nature as Auditec for two (2) years from the
date of this agreement, Auditec shall be entitled to all fees stated in this
agreement.
In the event a fee payment is 90 days past due, Auditec
shall be entitled to recover all outstanding fees, and costs of collection,
including a reasonable attorney’s fee. The Client waives venue and submits to
the jurisdiction of the courts of Jefferson County, Alabama.
This agreement constitutes our entire and complete agreement
between us and replaces any written or verbal agreements, and may only be
amended in writing and signed by both parties.
