CCI Workforce Intelligence™ Phase 1: Collision Repair & ADAS

This Digital Contract Agreement ("Agreement") is made effective as of July 13th 2026 by and between Optima Automotive ("Optima") and Collision Career Institute ("Client").

HOSTING

Optima shall provide website hosting for the first twelve months following the website launch at no additional charge.

Beginning on the first anniversary of the website launch, Client shall pay an annual hosting fee of $200. Optima will provide Client with notice and an invoice before the annual hosting renewal date.

SUPPORT

Optima shall provide support for reasonable website content updates and changes during the first twelve months following the website launch at no additional charge.

Support provided after the first twelve months will be billed at a rate of $125 per hour in fifteen-minute increments.

Support does not include substantial redesigns, new functionality, third-party software costs, new industry expansions, or work outside the scope of this Agreement. Any such work will be quoted separately before it begins.

DEPOSIT AND PAYMENT

Client shall pay a deposit equal to ten percent of the Phase 1 project cost upon execution of this Agreement.

The required deposit is $1,250 and will be applied toward the total Phase 1 project cost of $12,500.

Optima is not obligated to begin design or development work until the signed Agreement and deposit have been received. The deposit reserves project scheduling and compensates Optima for initial project preparation and commencement of work.

The remaining balance of $11,250 shall be due before the completed website is launched or transferred to the Client’s production domain.

Payments made under this Agreement are non-refundable once work has commenced, except as otherwise agreed to by Optima in writing.

Future industry expansions, including the Mechanical Repair expansion and any additional industry expansion, are not included in the Phase 1 project cost and will be invoiced separately at the agreed rate of $3,500 per industry.

OWNERSHIP AND LICENSES
All work created by Optima, including website design, functionality, and content, shall become the property of the Client upon payment. Optima hereby grants the Client a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use such work solely for its business purposes.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Each party may receive non-public business, technical, financial, customer, employee, assessment, marketing, or other confidential information from the other party in connection with this Agreement.

Each party agrees to:

use confidential information solely for purposes related to this Agreement;
protect it using reasonable care;
limit access to employees, contractors, or professional advisers who need the information to perform obligations under this Agreement; and
not disclose it to any other third party without the prior written consent of the disclosing party.

Confidential information does not include information that:

is or becomes publicly available through no breach of this Agreement;
was lawfully known by the receiving party before disclosure;
is received lawfully from a third party without a confidentiality obligation;
is independently developed without use of the other party’s confidential information; or
must be disclosed by law, regulation, subpoena, or court order.

When legally permitted, the receiving party shall provide prompt notice before making a legally required disclosure so the disclosing party may seek appropriate protection.

These confidentiality obligations shall continue after completion or termination of this Agreement.

Optima’s total cumulative liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall not exceed the total amount actually paid by Client to Optima under the applicable project phase giving rise to the claim.

These limitations shall not apply to:

Client’s payment obligations;
either party’s breach of confidentiality;
infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s intellectual-property rights;
fraud, intentional misconduct, or gross negligence; or
liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded.
