Section 2. Services.

2.1. Managed Services. Contingent upon Client’s satisfaction of our credit approval requirements and our verification of the information provided by Client for the purpose of establishing the Service, we shall provide the Managed Services in accordance with the terms and conditions of each Sales Order Form and related Service Level Agreements (SLAs) entered into pursuant to this Agreement and the other terms of this Agreement.

2.2. Supplemental Services. In addition to the Managed Service, we may from time to time perform certain additional services on an hourly or fixed fee basis, which may include the customization of the Managed Services at Client’s request and other professional computer software and services related to the Managed Services. Supplemental Services will be performed only with Client’s written agreement in advance and will be invoiced at our then current rates or other rates approved in advance in writing by Client and us. We may also perform services as described in the AUP for the fees stated in the AUP as necessary to remediate Managed Service problems caused by AUP violations by Client without obtaining Client’s consent.

Section 3. Term.

This Agreement shall remain in effect for so long as any Sales Order Form incorporating this Agreement is in effect, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions of Section 12. The term of each Sales Order Form begins on the Service Commencement Date for that Sales Order Form and continues for the period stated in the last to expire of the licenses and contracts conveyed in that Sales Order Form (the “Initial Term”). We and Client may agree to one or more additional terms of this Agreement and each license and contract conveyed in this Agreement, commencing upon the expiration of the Initial Term (each a “Renewal Term”). If upon the expiration of the Initial Term of any license or contract conveyed in the Sales Order Form, unless we and Client have agreed to a Renewal Term and fees in writing, then this Agreement and each license or contract conveyed in the Sales Order Form shall automatically renew for consecutive terms equal to the Initial Term of this Agreement and the initial term of such license or contract, as applicable (each, an “Extended Term”), unless we or Client has provided the other party with advance written notice of non-renewal of this Agreement and each such license and contract at least 30 days before the expiration of its respective initial term or any Renewal Term. We reserve the right to terminate any such Sales Order Form, license or contract during any Renewal Term after providing you with at least 30 days’ written notice.

Section 4. Payments.

4.1. Fees. Client shall pay the fees stated in the Sales Order Form and the fees for any Supplemental Services as described in Section 2.2 promptly. Our first invoice under a Sales Order Form shall include any applicable set up fees and a prorated part of the monthly recurring fee from the Service Commencement Date to the last day of the calendar month containing the Service Commencement Date. Following the Service Commencement Date, monthly recurring fees shall be invoiced in advance on or about the first day of each calendar month, and payment is due within 15 days following our sending Client an invoice. Payment for Supplemental Services is due within 15 days following our sending Client an invoice for any such Supplemental Services. Following the expiration of the Initial Term, unless we and Client have agreed to a Renewal Term and fees in writing, we may modify the monthly recurring fees for any Managed Service at any time, not fewer than 30 days after giving written notice to Client.

4.2. Collections. We may suspend any or all Services not fewer than 10 days after giving written notice to Client if payment for any Service is overdue by more than 30 days and, in our discretion, terminate this Agreement. Client shall pay our then current reinstatement fee following such a suspension, if we permit reinstatement. We may charge interest on amounts that are overdue by 15 days or more at the lesser of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate allowed under applicable law. In addition, upon demand Client shall pay our costs of collection for all overdue amounts for the Services, including collection agency fees, attorneys’ fees and court costs.

4.3. Early Termination. Client acknowledges that the amount of the monthly recurring fee for each Managed Service is based on Client’s agreement to pay the monthly recurring fees for the entire then current Term. Without limiting any other remedy available to us arising from an early termination of this Agreement, if we terminate this Agreement for Client’s breach of this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.2(i), (ii) or (iii), all fees due under this Agreement, including the monthly recurring fees for the remaining part of the Term, are due 15 days following such termination of the Managed Service.

4.4. Taxes. All federal, state or local taxes applicable to the Services shall be added to each of our invoices for the Services. Client shall pay all such taxes to us unless a valid exemption certificate is furnished to us for each of the states of use of the Managed Service by Client.

Section 5. AUP.

We may, in our reasonable commercial judgment, amend the AUP from time to time to describe reasonable restrictions and conditions on Client’s access to and use of the Services. Any such amendments to the AUP are effective on the earlier of 15 days following our notice to Client that an amendment has been made, or the commencement date of any Renewal Term or Extended Term, as the case may be. However, if: (i) the amendment would materially and adversely affect Client, and (ii) Client provides us with a written notice describing its objection to the amendment in reasonable detail within 10 days of the effective date of the amendment, and (iii) we do not agree to waive the amendment as to Client within 5 days after such Client notice, then Client may terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 12.1(iii).

Section 6. Suspension of Service.

We may suspend Services to Client without liability if: (i) we reasonably believe that the Services are being used in violation of this Agreement or applicable law; (ii) Client fails to cooperate with any reasonable investigation by us of any suspected violation of the AUP ; (iii) there is a denial of service attack on Client’s servers or other event for which we reasonably believe that the suspension of Services is necessary to protect the Client, the network or other users, or (iv) requested by a law enforcement or government agency. Information will be unavailable during a suspension of the Services. We shall give Client written notice at least 24 hours in advance of a suspension under this Section 6, unless a law enforcement or government agency directs otherwise, or we determine in our sole discretion that suspension on shorter or contemporaneous notice is necessary to protect us, the Client, the network or other users from an imminent and significant risk. We shall not suspend the Services if the grounds for the suspension are cured during the notice period. We shall promptly reinstate suspended Services when the reasons for the suspension of Services are cured.

Section 7. Representations and Warranties.

7.1. Reciprocal. We represent and warrant to Client, and Client represents and warrants to us, that: (i) it has the power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations under this Agreement; (ii) it has taken all necessary action on its part to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement and (iii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder do not conflict with or violate applicable laws or regulations, and do not conflict with or constitute a default under its charter documents or any agreement to which it is a party.

7.2. Client. Client represents and warrants to us that: (i) the information Client has provided to us for the purpose of establishing an account with us is accurate; (ii) Client will not use the Services in violation of any federal, state or other law, rule or regulation (iii) Client shall not resell or make available any of the Services to any person or entity and (iv) Client shall perform its security and other obligations set forth in this Master Services Agreement, including but not limited to the Sales Order Form, the AUP, and all Schedules attached to the Sales Order Form or this Master Services Agreement, which may include, but not be limited to any related SLAs and all written amendments entered into between Client and us.

9.2. Indemnity by Client. Client shall indemnify us and hold us, our affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, members, agents and employees, harmless from and against, any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties and fines of any kind and nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) brought by a third party under any theory of legal liability arising out of or related to any of the following: (i) the actual or alleged use of the Services in violation of: (a) the AUP, (b) any other part of this Agreement, or (c) applicable law or (ii) any breach by Client of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

9.4. Procedures. A party seeking indemnification under this Section 9 shall provide prompt notice of its claim for indemnification to the indemnifying party; provided, however, that failure to give prompt notice shall not affect the indemnifying party’s obligations under this Section 9 unless and to the extent that the failure materially prejudices the defense of the claim. The indemnifying party may select counsel to defend the indemnified party in respect of any indemnified claim under this Section 9; provided, however, that the counsel selected must be qualified to defend the indemnified claim in the judgment of the indemnified party, which judgment shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The indemnified party shall keep the indemnifying party fully informed of the status of the claim, including all communications from the claimant, and shall cooperate with the indemnifying party with respect to any judicial proceeding or dispute resolution procedure. The indemnifying party shall not settle any claim covered by this Section 9 without the written consent in advance of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If, however, such settlement shall be only for a monetary amount covered by the indemnifying party’s indemnification obligation under this Section 9 and shall not impose any other liability on the indemnified party, then, no consent shall be required from the indemnified party. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9 to the contrary, if we are indemnifying multiple Clients related to the subject matter of the indemnification claim, we shall have the right to seek consolidation of all such actions and to select counsel to defend the actions.

9.5. Patent, Copyright, Trade Secret. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 9, if we determine in our sole discretion that any Service may involve any product that may become subject to a claim of infringement or misappropriation, we may elect to (a) obtain the right of continued use of such product, or (b) replace or modify such product to avoid such claim. If we do not elect to do so, then all applicable licenses involving the product shall terminate. This Section 9.5 states our entire liability and Client’s sole and exclusive remedies for patent or copyright infringement and trade secret misappropriation.
