# MSA — Cendana Robotics (Provider) & Marina Bay Diagnostics (Customer)

> **Sample document — not legal advice.** This document was drafted by the LawCrew AI agent team and is published at `lawcrew.ai/samples` as a showcase of how our pipeline approaches a common Singapore MSA scenario. This run completed automated drafting, self-critique, adversarial review and deterministic gates, then routed to lawyer review (Auto-revision exhausted after 5 attempts. Remaining: Clause 2.5 Service Standards: Under the PDPA, a data intermediary must notify the primary organisation 'without undue delay'; allowing the Provider 72 hours severely prejudices the Customer's own strict 72-hour regulatory reporting window to the PDPC.; Clause 3.3 Late Payment: A late-payment interest rate of 1.5% per month (18% annually) is punitive and unjustified; 5.33% per annum aligns with the standard default rate under the Singapore Civil Law Act.; Clause 7.2 Service Provider's Warranties: A knowledge qualifier on the IP non-infringement warranty improperly shifts the risk of unknown third-party IP claims onto the Customer; the Provider must stand behind its deliverables absolutely.; Clause 8.1 Aggregate Cap: Capping liability at 100% of a single SOW is insufficient for significant direct damages; increasing to 200% of trailing 12-month fees ensures meaningful recovery.; Clause 9.2 Customer Data Indemnity: The Customer's indemnity should be strictly limited to IP infringement to maintain symmetry with the Provider's IP indemnity, avoiding a sweeping 'catch-all' liability for any legal violation.). **It is not legal advice and is not tailored to any specific transaction.**

**2.2 SOW Contents.** Each SOW shall specify: (a) scope of Services; (b) Deliverables and acceptance criteria; (c) timeline and key milestones; (d) fees or reference to Schedule 1; and (e) any special terms applicable to that engagement.

**2.3 SOW Execution.** A SOW is binding only when signed (including by electronic signature) by an authorised representative of each Party. In the event of any conflict between a SOW and this Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail unless the SOW expressly states otherwise.

**2.4 Change Orders.** Either Party may request changes to the scope or terms of an SOW by providing a written Change Order request. No change to an executed SOW is effective unless and until a written Change Order is signed by both Parties.

**2.5 Service Standards.** Service Provider shall perform the Services with reasonable skill and care, consistent with applicable industry standards, and shall provide appropriately skilled and experienced personnel. Where the Services involve processing Customer Data that includes personal data, Service Provider shall comply with its obligations as a data intermediary under the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (Singapore), including implementing appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect such data, and notifying Customer within 72 hours of any suspected or actual data breach.

**2.6 Customer Obligations.** Customer shall provide Service Provider with timely access, information, materials, decisions, and approvals reasonably required for Service Provider to perform the Services. Any delay caused by Customer's failure to do so shall extend corresponding timelines by an equivalent period without liability to Service Provider, provided that Service Provider promptly notifies Customer of the delay and uses reasonable endeavours to mitigate its impact.

**2.7 Acceptance.** Upon delivery of any Deliverable, Customer shall review it against the acceptance criteria in the applicable SOW and within **10 Business Days** (or such other period as the SOW specifies) either: (a) notify Service Provider in writing of non-conformance, specifying the deficiencies in reasonable detail; or (b) provide written acceptance.

Service Provider shall remedy notified deficiencies within a timeframe agreed in good faith, following which Customer shall re-review within **5 Business Days**. If the Deliverable fails re-acceptance, the Customer may, at its sole discretion, either grant a further cure period, accept the Deliverable subject to an equitable reduction in fees, or reject the Deliverable and terminate the applicable SOW for material breach, entitling Customer to a full refund of any fees paid for the non-conforming Deliverable.

**3.4 Disputed Invoices.** If Customer disputes any part of an invoice in good faith, Customer shall: (a) pay the undisputed portion by the due date; (b) notify Service Provider in writing of the dispute within 30 days of the invoice date, setting out the grounds; and (c) cooperate in good faith to resolve the dispute promptly. Interest does not accrue on amounts subject to a bona fide dispute. Customer may set off any undisputed amounts owed to it by Service Provider against any fees payable under this Agreement.
