1. Welcome. We appreciate your business and look forward to a productive working relationship with you. This “Master Services Agreement” (the “MSA”) sets out the rights, responsibilities and legal obligations of the parties to it. The individual or entity placing an order for Services is referred to in this MSA as “Customer,” “you” or “your” and is the individual, or entity, designated as the “owner” in our records. The entity providing the services is referred to as “we,” “us” or “our.” The individual or entity using the Services, if different than the Customer, is referred to as the “End User.” The “Services” are the products, technologies and other items purchased by the Customer as set out on our web page describing them on the Effective Date (“Order Form”). The Effective Date of this MSA is the date you click “I accept” as that date is recorded by our servers.
2. This MSA includes agreements incorporated by reference. This MSA includes the following documents, which you agree you have reviewed, and accept:
   1. The web page on which you indicate which Services you agree to purchase from us. During the course of the parties’ relationship with each other, you may purchase additional Services from us using new Order Forms. Each of these is incorporated into this MSA. If you are purchasing Services on behalf of a third party, you represent and warrant to us that you have the authority to purchase those Services. For the purposes of this MSA, the Order Form may be our on-line ordering process.
   2. Our Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) posted here.
   3. Our Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) posted here.
   4. If you are using the Services to provide your own services to third parties, including End Users, and as a result you use the Services in a manner that violates our AUP, you are responsible for that violation. As a result, we strongly encourage you to incorporate these policies into your own policies, or adopt policies that are no less restrictive than they are. Other than in the case of an emergency, or threat to the Service or our network infrastructure, we will give you notice and opportunity to correct a violation of either the AUP.
   5. This MSA, AUP and SLA are referred to collectively herein as the MSA. If there is a need to refer to them individually, they will be referred to using the names set out above.
   6. This MSA, and each of the documents set out above, may change from time-to-time. We will provide you with written notice of any change, other than one to correct typographical errors. Notification will be provided by posting a notice on our control panel, our home page or by email to the contact email you have provided us. Changes, other than changes necessary to respond to an unforeseeable situation, or those required by law or a third party who provides services to us, will be effective thirty (30) calendar days from the date we post a notice on our control panel, home page or by email. If you have agreed to a “Term Commitment” as that term is defined below, and a change materially affects your ability to use a particular Service, you may terminate the affected Service as set out in the termination section below.
3. The Services.
   1. The Services will be provided as set out on the Order Form as of the Effective Date. The Services will be provided pursuant to our brand offering for those Services as shown on the Order Form at the time of your order. Services may not be available immediately. We agree to provide those Services during the term as set out on the Order Form (“Term”). However, we may make changes to the Services during the Term if required by law, a third party vendor who provides aspects of the Services to us, or if your use of the Services violates our AUP. New customers may be offered Services that are different than the Services you have purchased. We have no obligation to make those Services available to you. Should there be a conflict between this MSA and the Order Form, the Order Form will prevail.
   2. The Services are provided as set out on the Order Form and as described on our website on the Effective Date. In order to use the Services, you may need to procure additional services, technology, equipment and/or materials. You may not terminate this MSA because you are required to procure these items. It may be necessary for you to assist us in our implementation of the Services. You agree to provide reasonable cooperation and assistance, and to cause any of your third party providers to do so as well.
   3. Third parties may provide certain aspects of the Services to us. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to have access to those components of the Services. However, should a third party change the services, make them economically prohibitive for us to provide to you, or discontinue them, our only obligation will be to attempt to find replacement components at a reasonable cost to us. If we are unable to do so, you may terminate those Services directly affected.
   4. The Services are not static, and they may require that you install new versions of software, firmware or other items to ensure their continued function (“Updates”). You agree to install these Updates within thirty (30) calendar days of our request. If you do not install the Updates, and doing so endangers the Service, or our network, you agree that we may install them without liability to you.
   5. The security of your passwords and other access devices is your responsibility. We shall be entitled to rely on the instructions, or operations, of any entity accessing the Service using your passwords and/or access devices. You agree to notify us immediately should any of these items become lost, stolen or compromised.
   6. Our goal is to maintain the Services as set out in this MSA. To do so, we may need to interrupt them from time-to-time for maintenance. We agree to give you 24 hour notice of our intent to suspend the Services for this reason. We will provide this notice to you by email to the address we have in our records. Our notice will, at a minimum, set out the reasons for the maintenance, the features to be affected, and the period of time the maintenance will take place. On infrequent occasions, we may be required to undertake emergency maintenance, and we will be unable to provide you with the notice set out in this paragraph. We will use reasonable efforts to ensure that maintenance does not interfere with your operations; however, in order to ensure the continued stability of our operational platforms, our maintenance activities may take precedence.
   7. You agree and understand that Services and/or related support may not be available at certain times as a result of technical difficulties, equipment malfunctions, during scheduled maintenance, or as a result of circumstances beyond our reasonable control. You also understand and agree that we make no representation that Services and/or related support will be available on a continuous or uninterrupted basis.
   8. We do not set limits on the amount of disk space you can use for your services as long as the contents do not violate our AUP. If your use exceeds the capacity of a particular service as defined in the product specifications or AUP then we reserve the right to modify the Services we provide to you or request you move to a different Service.
   9. You agree that we have no obligation to back-up your data and you should independently take appropriate steps to maintain data in accordance with your needs and requirements. You specifically agree that you understand that Backup Services, as defined below, are not fool-proof, that they will not back-up all data, and that you will use a second source of back-up. Under no circumstance will we have any liability or responsibility for the loss of back-up data, content or other information, unless caused by our negligence or willful misconduct.
   10. If you purchase Backup Services from us, they are provided on an as-is and as-available basis, as a supplement to, and not in lieu of, your own back-up efforts. While we will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the effective operation of the Backup Services, you expressly agree that no back-up program or service is error-free or fail-safe. In the event of an interruption or failure of the Backup Service, our only obligation is to restore your server to operating condition. It is your responsibility to restore the functionality of your website. You may wish to maintain an operating copy of your website for this purpose.
   11. Backup Services are designed for disaster recovery. Should you, or a third party, request that data held by us using the Backup Services be used for a purpose other than disaster recovery, for example in litigation, we have no obligation to provide the data to you. Should we determine, in our sole and exclusive judgment, to provide the data to you, or should your data be subpoenaed, or disclosure of it otherwise compelled, it will be provided at our convenience and you will be charged our prevailing hourly rate. You will also be responsible for any attorneys’ fees we incur in reviewing, responding to or producing your data, and required to pay us a retainer to secure your obligations.
   12. You must provide certain current, complete and accurate account information for your Services. You must maintain and update this information as needed to keep it current, complete and accurate.
   13. We reserve the right to relocate the equipment used to provide the Service at any time. You will have no physical access to this equipment.
4. Privacy Shield: We received ‘Privacy Shield’ certification under the EU - U.S. Privacy Shield framework. This certification has limits. It is the Customer’s obligation to determine if the use of the Services is allowed given the laws and regulations in its jurisdiction. More information about our Privacy Shield Certification can be found in the.
5. Fees.
   1. Payments for the Services, the due date, and all other information related to the assessment and collection of amounts owed are set out on the Order Form (“Fees”). If the Order Form does not contain a payment date, Fees are due monthly. Upon the renewal of a Service Term, the Fees will be set to our then standard fee for the particular Service. Discounts provided to new Customers may not be extended to Services you have already agreed to purchase. If we do not collect Fees immediately, your service may be suspended.
   2. During the Term, we will only increase the Fees in the following circumstances:
      1. you purchase additional Services and those Services have additional Fees;
      2. a regulated entity, such as a utility, increases their charges to us; or
      3. a vendor adds surcharges or additional fees based on your use of the Services. We agree to provide you with thirty (30) calendar days written notice prior to any change in the Fees. Notice will be provided to the email address in our records
   3. Fees are not refundable.
   4. Taxes may not be included in the prices set out on your Order Form. If we are required to collect taxes, they will be added to the Fees, and you agree to furnish us information necessary to calculate them and you agree to pay them once calculated. We will not charge you taxes based on our income.
   5. Charges assessed by third parties will be added to the Fees within thirty (30) calendar days from the date we receive them. You agree to pay these charges regardless of the length of time that may have passed.
   6. If you do not pay the Fees when due, we may suspend and or delete any and all Services. Following suspension of Services for non-payment, we are not required to reinstate Services until:
      1. you have paid in full all Fees then due, including late fees, interest charges of one and a half (1.5) percent per month (or the highest rate permitted by the laws governing this MSA), collection costs (including fees charged by our collection agency and reasonable actual attorneys’ fees), and any cost of reinstating Services; and
      2. you provide us satisfactory assurance as requested by us (such as a deposit) of your ability to pay for the Services for the remainder of the applicable Service Term. If you fail to timely cure the non-payment within the timeframe specified by us, you will be deemed to have terminated the affected Services as of the effective date of Service suspension. Your failure to pay Fees when due shall be treated as termination for convenience by you subject to Early Termination Fees, if any, described in this MSA. You will not receive credits (including SLA credits) or other benefits during the period you have failed to pay any Fees, and you may not withhold payment of Fees during any dispute.
   7. We understand that from time to time the parties may have disagreements about the Fees. To help resolve these disputes, each of the parties agrees to try to resolve these disagreements as set out in this paragraph. If you dispute any Fee, you must notify us in writing of this dispute before the Fee is due. In your notice, you agree to include sufficient information to allow us to investigate the dispute. We agree to complete this investigation within thirty (30) calendar days from the date your Fee is due, and provide to you a written discussion of our investigation, with sufficient facts for you to review. If we agree with your dispute, we will credit your account on your next billing cycle, or within sixty (60) calendar days if your billing cycle is not monthly. If we reject your dispute, you have thirty (30) calendar days to present us with a written rebuttal, again with sufficient information for us to understand your arguments. We will review this material within thirty (30) calendar days from our receipt. If the parties continue to disagree, they may pursue their remedies at law, consistent with this MSA. Fee disputes are Service specific, and you are required to pay Fees for other Services during the period of a dispute. You may not terminate this MSA, or any Service, based on a Fee dispute. We will not charge you interest on affected Fees during a dispute, provided that the dispute is bona fide.
   8. We take every possible measure to secure online payment processing of your account. While our own payment processing systems are secure and PCI compliant, our hosting environments are not fully compliant with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI DSS”).
6. Term. This MSA shall begin on the Effective Date and continue until terminated by a party (“MSA Term”). Individual Services shall begin on their Effective Date and continue until terminated by a party (“Service Term”). The MSA Term and the Service(s) Term are collectively referred to as the “Term.” The initial Service(s) Term is set out on the Order Form. If the Order Form does not have a Service(s) Term, the Service(s) Term will be thirty (30) days. On the expiration of an initial Service(s) Term, the individual Services shall renew for the length of the initial Service(s) Term unless you notify us in writing no later than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to expiration of your intent to terminate them. Our required termination procedure is set out below. The MSA Term shall extend until the MSA is properly terminated.
7. Termination. We hate to see you go, but here is how this MSA may be terminated.
   1. You may terminate an individual Service by contacting our client services team by phone, ticket or chat and notifying us of your intent to terminate your service (“Service Termination”). A Service Termination must be done no later than 24 hours before the Service Term will renew, does not apply to other Services we provide to you, and, unless the Services are the last Services we provide you, does not terminate this MSA. You acknowledge and agree that we require advance notice of your intent to terminate a Service Term, or this MSA, because of the long-term equipment and facilities commitments we are required to undertake in order to provide the Services to you.
   2. We may terminate an individual Service, or this MSA immediately, if:
      1. you violate our  AUP and have not corrected the violation in the time we have provided you, if any;
      2. if you fail to pay Fees when due;
      3. if a third party ceases to make aspects of the Services available to us, and we are unable to procure replacement services as described in this MSA;
      4. if you become the subject of any bankruptcy proceeding or other insolvency proceeding; or
      5. if we are legally required to do so. Upon such a termination, you will remain liable to us for any accrued amounts owed prior to the effective date of our termination, including, but not limited to, Early Termination Fees, if any, as described in this MSA. If we provide a cure period, you waive all legal notices to vacate our network and/or remove equipment, after expiration of that cure period.
   3. Either party may terminate a particular element of the Service if there is a force majeure event, as defined in this MSA, that continues for more than thirty (30) calendar days, or the other party becomes the subject of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution proceeding in bankruptcy or under any other insolvency law, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits in writing its inability to pay debts when due.
   4. Upon termination of this MSA, it is your responsibility to ensure that you configure technical aspects of your business, such as mail, WHOIS, and items outside of our control, to ensure that those items are directed away from us. We have no responsibility to maintain backups following termination (including as regards Hosted Personal Data), nor to forward email to another provider or to point DNS for your domain names away from us.
   5. Customers are prohibited from using or allowing the services to be used for any intrusive activity (port scanning, sniffing, spoofing etc) or cryptocurrency mining, doing so will cause your account to be terminated.
8. Our Standard of Service. The Services are covered by our SLA applicable to your service. This SLA provides your sole and exclusive remedies for issues related to delivery of affected Services. We agree to provide the remedies and credits set out in the SLA, and you agree to look to it only for covered issues.
9. The Parties Own Their Intellectual Property. Each party retains the intellectual property owned by, or licensed to, them. To perform, and use, the Services the parties each grant to the other a limited license to use and distribute that intellectual property only as strictly necessary to provide or use the Service. Other than as set out in the prior sentence, or in this MSA, neither party grants to the other, and neither shall have, any right, title, claim or interest in, or to, the other party’s intellectual property, or that which is licensed to any party, nor will a party decompile, dissemble, or reverse engineer the other party’s intellectual property, or that which is licensed to a party. Suggestions provided to us used by us to improve the Service are our intellectual property.
10. We Stand Up for Each Other.
    1. We agree to indemnify, defend and hold you, your employees, directors and officers (“Your Indemnified Parties”) from any and all third party actions, liability, damages, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, those attorneys’ fees and expenses charged to us) arising from, or relating to, personal injury or property damage resulting solely from our gross negligence or willful misconduct. You waive and release all claims against Our Indemnified Parties (as defined in section b), and agree that Our Indemnified Parties shall not be liable for injury to person or damage to property sustained by Your Indemnified Parties caused by the Services, or otherwise relating to this MSA, except if such injury or damage results solely from our gross negligence or willful misconduct.
    2. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold us, third parties who provide aspects of the service to us, contractors, subcontractors, affiliates, employees, directors and officers (“Our Indemnified Parties”) from any and all third party actions, liability, damages, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, those attorneys’ fees and expenses charged to us) arising from, or relating to:
       1. personal injury or property damage resulting from your acts, or inaction, or those of any individual or entity identified as Your Indemnified Parties below, as well as End Users;
       2. any claim by you, Your Indemnified Parties, or End Users, other than a claim based solely on our gross negligence or willful misconduct;
       3. any claim by your customers, including End Users, relating to, or arising out of, your, or any End Users’ services or the Services provided under this MSA;
       4. any claim that you have failed to fulfill a contractual obligation with a third party;
       5. any claim resulting from your failure to obtain consents or licenses necessary for you, or your End Users, to use the Services; and
       6. any claim by a party claiming by, though, or under you, or an End User, to the extent that such a claim, if sustained would result in any greater obligation or liability to us than what we have undertaken to you in this MSA.
11. Each of Us Stands Behind this MSA.
    1. Each party warrants to the other that it has the power, authority and legal right to enter into this MSA and to perform its obligations set out in it, and pursuant to any provisions or agreements incorporated into it.
    2. You warrant that you either own, or have licensed the right to use, the technology necessary to use the Services, the data transmitted using the Services, and any technology you place on our network. You agree to provide us with evidence of these licenses or rights on our reasonable request, and to procure similar warranties from your End Users. In particular, you represent and warrant that the material placed on, or transmitted through, the Services does not infringe any third party patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret right, and that you have used commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the material is free from viruses and is not being placed on our Services to enable access to them by parties other than you.
    3. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY ORAL OR WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN US AND YOU ABOUT OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS MSA OR IN ANY DESCRIPTION OF OUR PRODUCTS, AND TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER WE NOR ANY OF OUR EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, SUB-CONTRACTORS OR LICENSORS MAKE ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR OTHERWISE INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, CONFORMITY TO ANY REPRESENTATION OR DESCRIPTION, NON-INTERRUPTION, NON-INTERFERENCE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE SERVICES ARE COMPLETELY SECURE OR ERROR-FREE. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS MSA, THE SERVICES AND EQUIPMENT PROVIDED UNDER OR ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MSA ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE,” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” BASIS.
12. Our Liability is Limited.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS MSA, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY MAKING A CLAIM BASED ON OUR PROVIDING THE SERVICES TO YOU FOR (I) LOST PROFITS; (II) LOSS OF BUSINESS; (III) LOSS OF REVENUES; (IV) LOSS OF DATA OR INTERRUPTION OR CORRUPTION OF DATA; (V) ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES; OR (VI) ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, RELIANCE, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (IF APPLICABLE). THIS LIMITATION APPLIES EVEN IF WE ARE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF DAMAGES OTHER THAN DIRECT DAMAGES. OUR MAXIMUM LIABILITY SHALL BE ONE (1) MONTH’S FEES (OR THE EQUIVALENT THEREOF) ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY US DURING THE MONTH PRIOR TO YOUR CLAIM. IF THIS DISCLAIMER IS PROHIBITED BY THE LAW GOVERNING THIS MSA, OUR LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW. AS FURTHER LIMITATION, OUR MAXIMUM LIABILITY RELATING TO ANY SERVICE THAT HAS A NON-RECURRING CHARGE WILL EQUAL THE AMOUNT OF THE NON-RECURRING CHARGE FOR SUCH SERVICE ON THE OCCASION GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. OUR OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY YOU, WHICH IS SET OUT IN PARAGRAPH 10, IS NOT LIMITED BY THIS PARAGRAPH.
TO THE EXTENT THE SERVICES CONTAIN SOFTWARE PROVIDED BY MICROSOFT, NEITHER MICROSOFT, NOR ITS SUPPLIERS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO ANY DAMAGES, WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL, ARISING FROM THE MICROSOFT PRODUCTS OR SOFTWARE.

13. We Each Agree to Keep Certain Information Confidential.
    1. The term “Confidential Information” includes, but is not limited to, a party’s inventions, trade secrets, Customer information, business plans, designs, programs, product or marketing data, Customer lists and histories, sources of supply, production plans, financial statements, pricing data, test results, business strategies, manuals, materials, systems, financial information, non-public methods, processes and techniques, this MSA (other than the Privacy Policy and AUP), any information marked “Confidential,” and all other non-public business and technical information, whether related to past, present or future products and services.
    2. Each of the parties agree that if one party (“Disclosing Party”) provides Confidential Information to the other party (“Receiving Party”), that Confidential Information shall be held in confidence, and the Receiving Party shall give the Confidential Information the same care and protection as it gives generally to its own confidential and proprietary information, but no less than reasonable care, in order to avoid disclosure to, or unauthorized use by, any third party. All Confidential Information, unless otherwise specified in writing, shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party, and shall be used by the Receiving Party only for its intended purpose. All Confidential Information, including all copies of it, shall be either returned to the Disclosing Party or destroyed after the Receiving Party’s need for it has expired, or upon the request of the Disclosing Party, each at the option of the Disclosing Party. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any Confidential Information which:
       1. becomes publicly available, other than through disclosure by the Receiving Party;
       2. is required to be disclosed by any governmental authority, applicable law, or by court order;
       3. is independently developed by the Receiving Party;
       4. becomes available to the Receiving Party without restriction from a third party; or
       5. becomes relevant to the settlement of any dispute or enforcement of either party’s rights under this MSA.

If any Confidential Information is required to be disclosed based on this paragraph, the party required to make such a disclosure shall, where legally permitted, immediately inform the other party of the requirements of such a disclosure to enable the Disclosing Party to take protective measures to preserve the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as fully as possible in the context of such a permitted disclosure. It is not a violation of this paragraph for a party to disclose Confidential Information to its employees or agents, its legal, financial and accounting advisors, and to its lenders which need to know that Confidential Information, provided that the Disclosing Party notifies any recipient of its confidential and proprietary nature
