Deliverables Support Services Participation Agreement

Last Updated May 29, 2025

The slide deck support services (“Slide Deck Support”) are offered to you by Catalant Technologies, Inc. (“Catalant” or “we”).  If you (“Requestor” or “you”) request, access or receive Slide Deck Support, these Slide Deck Support Terms will apply.

Slide Deck Support is considered an add-on Service, and these Terms constitute supplemental terms as described in the Terms of Use for Experts (the “TOU”).  This means that these Terms are in addition to the TOU and do not replace them.  Without limiting the foregoing, we highlight throughout this Agreement certain terms from the TOU that apply to Slide Deck Support for clarity. 

1. Deck Support

a. Slide Deck Support provides slide deck formatting and design services for your end client deliverables.  Slide Deck Support is only available for eligible requests.  Please see our FAQ Page for eligibility criteria, which may be updated from time to time.

b. If you’re interested in using Slide Deck Support, you must submit a request form on the Products & Services page.  Visit our FAQ Page for information on the overall process (such as estimated turn around times, number of revisions, etc.). Catalant has sole discretion in accepting or rejecting a request for Slide Deck Support. 

c. Catalant may use third-party service providers to provide Slide Deck Support (“Catalant Service Providers”).  Catalant will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure any Catalant Service Providers comply with the applicable terms and conditions of these Terms.

2. Term; Suspension; Termination 

The term of these Terms will begin on the date we first approve a request submitted by you for Slide Deck Support and automatically terminate upon the completion of Slide Deck Support for your requests (the “Term”).  You may cancel any request for Slide Deck Support for any or no reason upon written notice to Catalant.  In addition, Catalant may terminate these Terms or suspend or refuse the provision of Slide Deck Support in the event of an actual or alleged breach of these Terms or the TOU.   Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, Sections 2, 3.b., 3.c., 4, and 5 will survive.
