Bastazo shall have sole discretion in staffing the professional services and may assign the performance of any portion of the professional services to any subcontractor; provided that Bastazo shall be responsible for the performance of any such subcontractor. Customer will have a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use any deliverables or other work product developed by Bastazo in the performance of the professional services, which are delivered to Customer, upon Customer's payment in full of all amounts due for such deliverables or work product. Bastazo retains ownership of all information, software, and other property owned by it prior to this Agreement or which it develops independently of this Agreement and all deliverables and work product compiled or developed by Bastazo in the performance of the professional services.
10.4 Professional Services Rescheduling. To the extent Customer purchases Services, Customer may reschedule the Services up to ten business days’ prior to the start of the Services at no cost. If Customer reschedules the Services with less than ten business days’ notice, Customer will forfeit the portion (in days) of the Services that were rescheduled without the required notice. If Customer reschedules the Services after they have begun, Customer will forfeit five business days of Services, or the number of days remaining on the Services, whichever is fewer. Customer will also be responsible for any expenses incurred by Bastazo due to such rescheduling. If performance of the Services is delayed by Customer’s acts or omissions, including Customer’s failure to meet the requirements set forth in a SOW, Customer will forfeit the duration of such delay from its Services time.
