This Addendum will be implemented through one (1) or more written statements of work, proposals, and/or other similar documents that reference this Addendum and are signed by authorized representatives of each of Gorgias and Customer (each such document, an "SOW"), and the terms and conditions set forth herein will govern all SOWs. Gorgias will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Customer the professional services identified in the SOW(s) (collectively, "Services").
