1. Scope.
Express Internet Technologies Inc.

The person or entity (the “Client”) agreeing to be bound by these Standard Service Terms and Conditions (the “T&C”) may choose which of those Services the Client wishes to have ExpressITech provide, and any Service(s) provided in conjunction with entry into the T&C will be governed by the T&C.
Such provision of any Service will also be governed by an additional statement of work (an “SoW”), which will contain the technical, cost, timeline, and/or other details specific to provision that Service, and may include additional legal terms. If you subsequently acquire additional Services from ExpressITech, you will again be required to agree to ExpressITech’s then-standard version of the T&C, but this version of the T&C will remain applicable to the Service(s) you acquire in conjunction with agreeing to this version of the T&C.
