Customer has the right to use the Space solely for the purpose of (i) installation of the Equipment in the Space, (ii) maintaining the Equipment, (iii) operating the Equipment, and (iv) removing the Equipment (Collectively with (i))-(iii), as the “Permitted Uses”). Unless otherwise agreed by Liquid Web in writing, Customer shall perform the Permitted Uses at its sole cost and expense.

The Fee Component is not refundable to Customer, and shall be deemed earned by Liquid Web upon receipt. 4. AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE SERVICES AND PAY FEES; SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT. Pursuant to this Agreement, Liquid Web has agreed to provide certain services (“Services”) to the Customer, and the Customer has agreed to pay certain fees (“Fees”) to Liquid Web in consideration therefore. Liquid Web shall have the right to increase the Fees: (a) after twelve (12) months of consecutive service in proportion to increases in the Consumer Price Index applicable to the geographic area where the Building is located, plus two percent (2%), provided however, that Liquid Web provided Customer with sixty (60) days prior written notice of such increase in fees.

On or before customer account’s billing date of each and every month during the Term hereof (each, a “Due Date”), Customer agrees to and shall pay the Fees to Liquid Web, in advance, for the Services to be rendered by Liquid Web to Customer during said month, without offset, deduction or credit of any kind and in good and drawable funds. If Customer fails to pay the Fees to Liquid Web by the Due Date of any month during the Term hereof for three (3) consecutive months, on the next late payment, customer will be assessed an administrative charge in the amount which is equal to five (5%) of the overdue Fees (“Administrative Charge”); in addition Liquid Web may charge interest on all due but unpaid Fees at 1.5% per month (“Default Interest”) until paid in full. Customer agrees to and shall pay to Liquid Web for all costs of collection of the Fees, Default Interest and Administrative Charges.

A “Reinstatement Fee” equal to seventy-five dollars ($75.00) will be assessed for suspended Services and must be collected with the overdue Fees for the account to be reinstated. If a Fee is disputed in good faith by Customer then the parties shall work together in good faith to resolve the dispute. Notwithstanding any other term in this Agreement, Customer may suspend the payment of all disputed amounts until the dispute is resolved and all of Liquid Web’s obligations shall continue unabated until dispute resolution. Fees not disputed within sixty (60) days of due date are conclusively deemed accurate.

6. RETURNED CHECK FEE AND CREDIT CARD CHARGE BACKS

A returned check penalty fee of $25 will be charged to any customer’s account for any check dishonored by their financial institution. This fee will be waived if the check was returned in error, provided that supporting documentation is submitted. The returned check and penalty fee must be paid immediately in order to guarantee that services will remain online and available. If a customer or anyone paying on the customer’s behalf has written two or more returned checks, check cashing privileges will be revoked. If a returned check was used to pay for more than one customer’s account, each account will be assessed the $25 returned check fee. Payments made by a returned check are reversed from the customer account, leaving the balance due and payable immediately. Outstanding balances are subject to the unpaid fees and delinquent accounts policy and may result in server suspension or account termination. If the account is terminated all information within the account will be deleted.

A credit card charge back fee of $50 will be charged to any customer’s account for any charge back received by their financial institution. The original charge amount and penalty fee must be paid immediately in order to guarantee that services will remain online and available. If a customer or anyone paying on the customer’s behalf has used a credit card to pay for services ending in 2 or more chargebacks, will result in credit card payment privileges being revoked (full payment will be due via money order or wire transfer). This fee will be waived and credit card payment privileges reinstated if the chargeback resulted in error, provided that supporting documentation is submitted.

Chargebacks received are reversed from the customer’s account, leaving the balance due and payable immediately.

Customer shall maintain property insurance (inclusive of coverage for data, media and electronic data processing perils) written on a “Special Form” basis at full replacement cost value.

EXHIBIT “A”

SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT

Liquid Web agrees to and shall provide the Services to the Equipment in the Space in accordance with this Service Level Agreement. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the same meaning as in this Agreement and Terms and Conditions:

Power

Liquid Web’s intention is to provide uninterrupted power to the Equipment in the Space; however, events occur from time to time that may interrupt the power delivered to the Equipment in the Space. In the event that Customer experiences an interruption in power delivery to the Equipment in the Space (a “Power Interruption”), excluding scheduled maintenance, Liquid Web shall, for each impacted power circuit in the Space, grant to Customer a percentage credit during the next succeeding month (a “Power Interrupt Percentage Credit”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Power Interruption is caused by one or more events of Force Majeure or by the Customer exceeding 80% of a circuit breaker's rating under continuous load, the Customer shall not be entitled to a Power Interrupt Percentage Credit. The Power Interrupt Percentage Credit shall be based on the following schedule:

Liquid Web will provide the customer a credit for ten (10) times the amount of actual power interruption. This means that if the customer power infrastructure is unavailable for one (1) hour, customer will receive ten(10) hours of credit.

Power Interrupt Percentage Credits are not cumulative from month to month and apply only to the month in which the Power Interruption occurred. Customer shall not receive during any month of the Term hereof a Power Interrupt Percentage Credit, which cumulatively exceed 100% of the monthly Fee allocable to the power circuit(s) affected in the Space. Where possible, Liquid Web will provide Customer with directed remote hands-services (without charge) to power up affected Equipment on a best effort basis

Network Uptime (only applicable when Liquid Web provides Internet Access)

Liquid Web guarantees that the network will be available 100% of the time in a given month excluding scheduled maintenance. Liquid Web will provide the customer a credit for ten (10) times the amount of actual downtime. This means that if the network is unavailable for 1 hour, customer will receive 10 hours of credit. Network uptime includes functioning of all network infrastructure including router, switches and cabling. Network downtime exists when a particular customer is unable to transmit and receive data and Liquid Web records such failure in the Liquid Web trouble ticket system.

Network SLA Exclusions

Many possible situations are completely beyond the control of Liquid Web, and therefore are not in the scope of this SLA. These situations include:

  • Scheduled Network Maintenance - occasionally network maintenance will be required. Liquid Web will do everything possible to minimize and avoid downtime during this maintenance. You will receive prior notification of upcoming maintenance at the e-mail address we have on file. Scheduled maintenance periods are not eligible for SLA credits.
  • Malicious Attacks - if a third party not associated with Liquid Web initiates a "Denial of Service" or other form of disabling attack against your Colocated Servers or major portions of our network, Liquid Web will do everything in its power to stop the attack, but cannot guarantee a resolution time.
  • Legal Actions - In the case that a legal action is taken against a customer of Liquid Web and Liquid Web is required to act in accordance with the order, Liquid Web shall not be responsible for any SLA damages.

REFUNDS OR CREDITS
