Server Hosting Agreement

This Server Hosting Agreement (the “SHA”) applies to the server hosting services provided by Data393 (“Data393”) to you, as Data393’s customer (“You” or “Customer”). This SHA together with all exhibits, addenda, amendments, and Service Order Forms are collectively the “Agreement”. This Agreement is valid and binding upon Customer’s continuing use of the Services, defined below. In exchange for the covenants and promises herein, which the parties agree are sufficient consideration, the parties agree as follows.

1. SERVICES.

This Agreement applies to Customer’s purchase of dedicated server(s) capacity or virtual private server capacity, data transport and managed services ("Services") from Data393 as set forth in a service order form or otherwise provided to Customer by Data393 (“Service Order Form”). Each Service Order Form shall set forth the description, rates, charges, discounts, and other terms applicable to the Services purchased by Customer.

2. AGREEMENT TERM.

By using Services, You agree to adhere to this Agreement. Data393 reserves the right to modify this Agreement without notice. If you do not agree to the terms of this Agreement, you cannot use the Services. This Agreement continues from calendar month to calendar month (“Term”), unless earlier terminated as set forth herein, or unless a party provides the other party written or email notice of non-renewal at least thirty days in advance of termination.

3. SERVICE ORDER FORM TERM.

The term for each Service Order Form commences on the Service Commencement Date, defined below, and shall continue for the term defined in each Service Order Form. The “Service Commencement Date” is the date Data393 first generates an e-mail message to Customer that provides access codes and passwords for Customer’s use of the applicable Services on that Service Order Form. If any Services under a Service Order Form extend beyond the Agreement Term, the Agreement will remain in full force and effect until such time that all Service Order Forms have expired or been terminated and, in that case, “Term” shall include and be extended to mean the applicable Service Order Form terms.

4. SURRENDER OF THE SERVERS.

Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Customer shall remove all of Customer’s Data from Data393’s servers at Customer’s expense. If Customer fails to remove its data within three days of the date of expiration or other termination, Data393 may delete the data and shall have no obligation to backup or restore the data for Customer.

5. SERVICE CHARGES, BILLING AND PAYMENT.

Customer shall pay Data393 in U.S. dollars for all charges for Services and Data 393 shall commence invoicing as of each Service Commencement Date. All Monthly Fees shall be due and payable by Customer in advance on the first day of each month, except for the first payment which shall be a pro rata portion of the Monthly Fee, calculated on a 30-day basis, due and payable from the Service Commencement Date (“Due Date”). Customer agrees to pay the Monthly Fee set forth in the Service Order Form for each item, together with all initial Setup Fees and any over-usage fees for bandwidth or managed services usage beyond the contracted Allotment.

If the Monthly Fee is not paid within fifteen days of the first day of the month: (i) the amount due and payable shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month starting from the Due Date; and (ii) Data393 may suspend the Services, including access to the server or servers and to Customer’s data on all servers; provided however, that Data393 will first provide at least three days prior notice by email or fax to the contact person designated by Customer to allow Customer to issue payment promptly. If Customer does not issue payment within the three days notice, Data393 may suspend any or all Services until all amounts owed have been paid in full. To re-enable Service, Data393 reserves the right to charge a reconnection fee of $100 per applicable Service Order Form.

If Customer makes more than one late payment, Data393 has the right, upon written notice to Customer, to require a Security Deposit, as defined below, an increase in any existing Security Deposit, and/or other reasonable assurances to secure Customer’s payment obligations hereunder. If Customer reasonably and in good faith disputes any portion of an invoice based on a billing error, it may withhold the disputed amount, provided that Customer submits to Data393, within fifteen calendar days of the invoice date, a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for its dispute. If Data393 determines in good faith that there is no error, Customer agrees to immediately pay the disputed amount.

6. MODIFICATION OF SERVICE/PRICING.

All pricing and Services are as set forth in the Service Order Form and may not be changed without a written revision to the Service Order Form. Data393 will not be responsible if any changes in Services, the network or the facilities cause Customer’s hardware or software to become obsolete, require modification or alteration, or otherwise affect performance of such hardware or software. With thirty days advance written notice to Customer, Data393 may modify or suspend Customer’s Service as necessary to comply with any law or regulation as reasonably determined by Data393 (“Compliance Notice”). In the event of any such change to Service, Customer may terminate the applicable Service without liability to Data393 for any associated termination charges upon thirty days written notice to Data393 issued within sixty days of the date of the Compliance Notice. In the event that it becomes necessary to relocate Customer’s Data to other servers or equipment, Customer agrees to cooperate in good faith with Data393 to facilitate such relocation. Data393 agrees to be responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such relocation, to the extent Customer reasonably cooperates with Data393, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize and avoid any interruption to Customer’s Services.

7. TAXES.

All charges are exclusive of any applicable foreign, federal, state and local taxes, including without limitation, all use, sales, value-added, surcharges, excise, franchise, personal property, commercial, gross receipts, license, privilege or other similar taxes, levies, surcharges, duties, fees, or other tax- or regulatory-related surcharges imposed by governments related to the Services, whether charged to Data393 or Customer, including any and all fees and taxes which may be imposed by any Internet registration authority, for the registration and maintenance of Customer’s domain name(s) and/or Internet address(es) applicable to the delivery of and receipt or use of Services hereunder, except for taxes based upon Data393’s net income (collectively “Taxes”) now in force or enacted in the future, all of which Customer will be responsible for and shall pay in full. If during the course of any governmental audit/examination, it is determined that Data393 is subject to additional taxes or regulatory assessments as a result of the delivery of and receipt or use of the Services, then Customer shall reimburse Data393 for any taxes, penalties, and interest that may be assessed applicable to Customer’s Services.

8. SECURITY DEPOSIT.

As a condition of Data393’s obligation to perform under this Agreement, Data393 reserves the right to demand and, upon such demand, Customer shall pay to Data393 a security deposit in the amount, if any, set forth on the Deposit Receipt form provided to Customer as part of the credit application package (“Security Deposit"). If Customer defaults under this Agreement, Data393 may, without further notice to Customer and without prejudice to Data393’s other remedies, apply part or all of the Security Deposit toward the cure of Customer's Default. In such event, Customer shall, within five business days after written demand, pay Data393 an amount equal to the amount so applied to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Data393 may co-mingle the Security Deposit with its own funds. Customer shall not be entitled to receive interest on the Security Deposit. The Security Deposit repayment procedures are set forth on the Deposit Receipt form, and otherwise, any part of the Security Deposit not used by Data393 shall be returned to Customer within sixty days after this Agreement expires or is terminated, after applying the Security Deposit to any outstanding amounts due and payable to Data393. If Data393 assigns this Agreement, then Data393 shall be relieved of liability for the Security Deposit upon delivery of the Security Deposit to an authorized assignee.

Neither party will, without the prior written consent of the other party, use any trademark, service mark, brand name, copyright, patent, or any other intellectual property of the other Party or its respective affiliates.

11. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.

11.1 Warranties. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” Data393 MAKES NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR WARRANTIES ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OR TRADE PRACTICE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THE SERVICES OR ANY EQUIPMENT Data393 PROVIDES. NEITHER Data393, ITS EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS, MERCHANTS, LICENSORS OR THE LIKE, WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE; NOR DO ANY OF THEM MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICES OR AS TO THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY OR CONTENT OF ANY INFORMATION OR MERCHANDISE CONTAINED IN OR PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICES. CUSTOMER AGREES THAT IT IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING ITS EQUIPMENT AND TRANSMISSION NETWORK NEEDS AND THE RESULTS TO BE OBTAINED THEREFROM AND THAT Data393 EXERCISES NO CONTROL WHATSOEVER OVER THE MERCHANDISE, INFORMATION AND SERVICES OFFERED OR ACCESSIBLE ON THE INTERNET. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, Data393 does not warrant and hereby disclaims that the services will provide protection from (a) viruses, trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots, or other harmful or deleterious programming routines; (b) data loss; (c) unauthorized, unknown, or unforeseeable security breaches, accesses, or attacks into or affecting customer equipment or systems; and DOES NOT PROVIDE any form of real-time detection of any or all of the foregoing. Neither party shall make any representations or warranties on the other party’s behalf. Data393 is not responsible for any defects or damages to Customer Equipment or Services resulting from (x) Customer’s, Customer’s agents’, or Customer's employees’ mishandling, abuse, misuse, or accident; (y) force majeure; or (z) Customer’s use or provisioning of equipment electrically or mechanically incompatible with Services or of inferior quality.

11.2 No Control over Content.

Customer assumes responsibility for Customer’s use of the Services or software provided by Data393, if any, and the Internet. Customer understands and agrees that the Internet contains materials some of which are socially inappropriate or may be offensive; and is accessible by persons who may attempt to breach the security of Data393 and/or Customer’s network(s). Data393 has no control over and expressly disclaims any liability or responsibility whatsoever for such materials or actions. Customer and Customer’s users and end users access the Services at their own risk. Data393 is not liable for the content of any data transferred either to or from Customer or stored by Customer or any of Customer’s customers via the Services provided by Data393.

11.3 Disclaimer of Third Party Actions and Control.

Data393 does not and cannot control connectivity, or the flow of data to or from Data393's equipment and facilities or other portions of the Internet. Such connectivity depends in large part on the performance of Internet or access services provided or controlled by third parties. At times, actions or inactions caused by these or other third parties can produce situations in which Customer’s connections to the Internet (or portions thereof) may be impaired, interrupted or disrupted. Although Data393 will use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy and avoid such events, Data393 cannot guarantee that they will not occur. Accordingly, Data393 shall not be liable for such events.

14. DEFAULT AND TERMINATION.

14.1 Default by Data393. The occurrence of any of the following will be a “Default” by Data393: (i) Data393 fails to perform a material obligation under this Agreement after receiving thirty days advance notice from Customer of such failure; or (ii) Data393’s insolvency or liquidation as a result of which Data393 ceases to do business; or (iii) the material breach of any representation or warranty made by Data393 in this Agreement, except to the extent such breach is susceptible to cure, in which case there shall be no Default unless such breach is not cured within thirty days after receiving written notice from Customer of such breach. A violation of any SLA expressly is not a breach of a representation or warranty or a Default hereunder.

14.2    Default by Customer. The occurrence of any of the following will be a “Default” by Customer: (i) Customer fails to pay, when due, any fees or charges owing to Data393 under this Agreement, provided that the first such nonpayment in any calendar year shall not be a Default unless Customer fails to pay such amount within five business days after notice from Data393 of such nonpayment (a “Payment Default”); or (ii) Customer fails to pay (or repay) timely any or all of a Security Deposit and does not cure such failure within five business days after written notice thereof (“Security Default”); (iii) the material breach of any representation or warranty made by Customer in this Agreement, except to the extent such breach is susceptible to cure, in which case there shall be no Default unless such breach is not cured by Customer within thirty days after receiving notice from Data393 of such breach; (iv) Customer fails to comply with any material obligations under this Agreement (other than payment or security deposit obligations) after receiving thirty days advance written notice from Data393 of such failure; or (v) Customer's insolvency or liquidation as a result of which Customer ceases to do business.

14.3 Remedies for Default. If a party commits a Default, the non-defaulting party will be entitled, at its election to exercise any one or more of the following remedies, as applicable, then or at any time thereafter: (i) to exercise any remedy for such Default set forth elsewhere in this Agreement; (ii) to pursue any remedy available at law or in equity, or (iii) to terminate this Agreement. In addition to and without waiving any other remedies for Default available to Data393 hereunder, Data393 may, without notice beyond the initial notice required for the Default, (1) suspend or discontinue Services or performance under this Agreement; (2) collect Liquidated Damages; (3) treat as abandoned, dispose of, or retain and use, free of any rights or claims thereto from Customer or anyone claiming by, through or under Customer, any of all of the Customer Equipment if Customer fails to remove the same from the Data Center after Customer has been notified of Default and failed to cure the Default, and then only after twenty business days prior notice to Customer.

14.4 Liquidated Damages. If Customer terminates this Agreement without cause prior to the end of the Term, or Data393 terminates this Agreement because of a Default by Customer, Customer agrees to pay Data393 a termination charge equal to 100% of the monthly recurring charges multiplied by the number of months remaining in the first year of the Term and/or 50% of Customer’s monthly recurring charges multiplied by the number of months in the remainder of the Term after the first year (“Liquidated Damages”). The parties specifically agree that the damages which Data393 will incur arising from any Default or early termination of this contract by Customer are based upon future facts and conditions which are difficult for the parties to presently predict, anticipate, ascertain or calculate. The parties further agree that such liquidated damages, as determined herein, are based upon the best efforts of the parties to estimate the nature and amount of Data393’s actual damages, are not a penalty, and are intended to place Data393 in the same position it would have achieved, had the contract been fully performed by the parties according to the original terms. Upon the effective date of expiration or termination of this Agreement; (a) Data393 will immediately cease providing the Services and (b) any and all payment obligations of Customer under this Agreement will become due immediately.

15. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

All such information, if in writing, shall be specifically and obviously marked as "confidential" by the disclosing party at the time of disclosure, or if disclosed orally, shall be orally designated as confidential and thereafter identified as confidential by written notice to the receiving party within a reasonable time ("Confidential Information"). The pricing of Services in this Agreement, and each party's method of providing its respective services are hereby deemed Confidential Information. Neither party will use for its own account or the account of any third party, nor disclose to any third party (except as required by law or as reasonably necessary to the receiving party's attorneys, accountants and other advisors who are obligated to maintain the confidentiality of such information), any of the other party's Confidential Information, except as required to under this Agreement. The disclosing party retains all right, title and interest in all Confidential Information it discloses under this Agreement and all improvements and modifications made thereto.

15.3 Remedy. Any unauthorized copying, transfer, or use of any Confidential Information of the other party shall cause irreparable injury to the disclosing party that cannot be adequately compensated by monetary damages and the disclosing party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief, with bond waived, against the receiving party as a remedy for any material breach of this Section. The disclosing party may in addition to equitable relief, pursue any and all legal and contractual remedies available to the disclosing party.
