Each Party is fully responsible for the payment of any and all taxes required by law to be paid by that Party. Customer will pay all taxes, governmental fees, and third-party charges related to the ownership and operation of Customer’s Equipment and the activities of Customer at each Datacenter Facility. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer is responsible for timely paying in full all sales, use, transfer, privilege, excise, and all other taxes and duties, whether international, national, state or local, however designated, now in force or enacted in the future, which are levied or imposed by reason of the performance by JR or Customer under this Agreement or by Customer with respect to its operations and use of the Datacenter Facility and Customer’s Equipment, including any pro-rata leasehold/license pass thru items, if any (“Taxes”); but the term “Taxes” will exclude income taxes on JR’s profits which may be levied against JR. The rates and fees on an Order Form (as well as the list prices for the Online/Phone Orders) are exclusive of the Taxes, which Customer will also be responsible for paying at the same time it pays the amounts listed on the Orders. Any applicable Taxes that JR must collect and remit which must be paid directly to JR will be stated separately on each invoice. In addition, Customer’s Equipment will not be construed to be fixtures, and Customer is responsible for preparing and filing any necessary return with, and paying any and all Taxes separately levied or assessed against Customer’s equipment to any governmental, quasi-governmental or tax authorities by the date such payments are due.
5.1. This Agreement commences on the Effective Date and continues through the latest expiration of all Order Form Term(s) subject to this Agreement, unless earlier terminated as provided herein.
5.2. The Term for each Order Form shall begin on the Commencement Date of the related Product or Service and shall remain in effect until the expiration of the period so specified. Upon the expiration of a Term set forth on an Order Form, such Order Form will renew for a successive one (1) month term unless notice of non-renewal is provided by Customer upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice (or by JR upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice). The pricing for any such renewal will be mutually agreed upon by the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commencement Date of an Order Form or Online/Phone Order occurs on a day other than the first day of a month, Customer shall be responsible for charges beginning on the Commencement Date and JR will bill for the pro-rata portion of the month in which Service was provided, and the Term will then start on the first day of the subsequent month. By way of example, an Order Form with a twelve (12) month Term has a Commencement Date of December 15, 2012, Customer shall be responsible for the pro-rata Recurring Charges beginning on December 15, 2012 to December 31, 2012, and the Term of the Order Form or Online/Phone Order shall begin on January 1, 2013 for a period of twelve months.
5.3. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5 to the contrary, each Order Form which contains a one (1) month Term shall renew for consecutive one (1) month Terms, unless written notice of non-renewal is provided by either Party, upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice.
5.4. If JR is required to procure any of the Products or Services listed on an Order Form from a third party, JR may provide Customer with a Third Party Service Details form which will list the Commencement Date, applicable Term, and the notice period required for renewal or non-renewal (as the case may be), as well as any terms and conditions which are imposed upon JR (including automatic renewal, if applicable) by the third party service provider. If a Third Party Service Details form is required in conjunction with an Order Form, JR may state this on the applicable Order Form. Customer acknowledges that JR may deliver the Third Party Service Details form after execution of the Order Form, once the applicable Products or Services are ordered from the third party provider and a provisioning date is provided by the third party provider. In addition, Customer agrees to the following: (i)that the terms and conditions set forth on the Third Party Service Details form shall supersede those listed on the Order Form (except for pricing, excluding any applicable taxes levied on JR by the third party provider related to the service being resold), (ii) in conjunction with any cancellation of services from a third party, Customer will be responsible for all termination charges imposed upon JR by the third party, and (iii) in the event of conflict between the Third Party Service Details form and this Agreement, the Third Party Service Details shall control.
5.5. JR may terminate this Agreement as to any affected co-location services if any portion of the Datacenter Facility in which the affected co-location services are located becomes subject to a condemnation proceeding or is condemned, JR’s possession is otherwise terminated or abated, or JR cannot provide Customer with the access to the affected Datacenter Facility as contemplated herein for a period exceeding thirty (30) days.
Events of Default: The occurrence of any of the events listed below shall be considered an event of default, which gives the non-defaulting Party the right to terminate the Agreement or affected Order Form(s) by written notice following the expiration of any stated cure periods and pursue its remedies under this Agreement:
Customer fails to fully pay any of the payments (including Early Termination Charges) required hereunder within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such failure;
Except as provided in clause (a), above, the breach of any material term or condition of this Agreement (including Order Forms or Supplements) and such breach remains uncured thirty (30) days after delivery to the breaching Party of written notice of such breach by the non-breaching Party.

If JR retains counsel for collection or enforcement of Customer’s obligations hereunder or to represent JR in any bankruptcy, reorganization or, receivership proceedings, then Customer shall pay to JR all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. If Customer is in default under any obligation of this Agreement or any Order Form, Customer will be in default of all Order Forms and this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or on any Order Form to the contrary, any payment required to cure a Customer default must be remitted to JR in certified funds or wire transfer.

Each Party will treat the Proprietary Information that the Receiving Party either knows or reasonably should know to be confidential to the Disclosing Party and the contents of this Agreement in a confidential manner and, except to the extent necessary in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, neither Party may directly or indirectly disclose the same to anyone other than its employees or third parties identified within an Order hereunder on a need to know basis and who agree to be bound by the terms of this Section, without the written consent of the Disclosing Party. Information will not be deemed Proprietary Information if it (i) becomes publicly available other than through the actions of the Receiving Party; (ii) is independently developed by the Receiving Party; or (iii) becomes available to the Receiving Party without restriction from a third party. If the Receiving Party is required by a governmental or judicial law, order, rule, regulation or permit to disclose Proprietary Information, it must give prompt written notice to the Disclosing Party of the requirements of such disclosure and cooperate fully with the Disclosing Party to minimize such disclosure, and disclosure after such notice shall not be a breach hereof.

Any assignment or transfer without the required consent will be void and will be considered a material breach of this Agreement. Upon any permitted assignment, the assigning party will remain jointly and severally responsible for the performance under this Agreement, unless released in writing by the other party, and this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. In the event that (a) JR makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (b) a liquidation proceeding under any foreign, state or United States bankruptcy act, receivership statute, or the like, as they now exist, or as they may be amended, is commenced by JR, or (c) JR ceases doing business as a going concern, then JR will cooperate and perform all actions reasonably requested by Customer to facilitate the assignment of this Agreement and/or the transfer of JR’s obligations hereunder to JR’s successor, or, upon Customer’s request, to the Datacenter Facility.

Any legal proceeding arising out of, or relating to this Agreement, will be brought in a United States District Court, or absent federal court jurisdiction, in a state court of competent jurisdiction.
13.2. Survival. The Parties’ respective representations, warranties, and covenants, together with obligations of indemnification, confidentiality and limitations on liability will survive the expiration, termination or rescission of this Agreement and continue in full force and effect for a period of two (2) years after the date of termination.

13.6. Headings; Separability. The headings in this Agreement are strictly for convenience and do not amplify or limit any of the terms, provisions or conditions hereof. In the event any term of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, neither the validity of the remaining part of such term nor the validity of the remaining terms of this Agreement will be in any way affected.
13.7. No Implied Waiver. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of either Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver, except as expressly provided herein.
13.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, including by facsimile transmission, each of which when executed and delivered is an original, but all the counterparts together constitute the same document.
13.10. Precedence. Except as may be set forth herein, this Agreement supersedes all previous and contemporaneous written and oral representations, understandings, or Agreements related to the subject matter herein (including without limitation the Master Products and Services Agreement dated March 5, 2013) and shall prevail notwithstanding any variance with terms and conditions of any Order Form submitted, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both Parties.
14.1. Acceptable Use; SPAM. Customer will at all times comply with and conform its use of the Service to JR’s Acceptable Use Policy and Anti-SPAM Policy set forth at the JR Website, as updated from time to time, subject to notice to Customer of any material changes. In the event Customer materially violates the JR Acceptable Use Policy where JR determines in its reasonable discretion that there is potential harm to its Network or business, JR shall have the right to immediately suspend Service. In other cases of violation of the Acceptable Use Policy and Anti-SPAM Policy, JR will provide notice and opportunity to cure, to the extent JR deems reasonably appropriate, depending on the nature of the violation, the availability of the Customer and whether or not there has been a repeat violation. JR, in its reasonable discretion, shall re-enable the Service upon satisfaction that all violations have ceased and with adequate assurance that such violations will not occur in the future.
14.2. Illegal Use. Customer will cooperate in any investigation of Customer’s alleged illegal use (or that of its customers, if any) of JR’s facilities or other networks accessed through the JR Network. If Customer fails to cooperate with any such investigation, JR may suspend Customer’s Service. Additionally, JR may modify or suspend Customer’s Service in the event of illegal use of the JR Network or as necessary to comply with any law or regulation, including but not limited to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998. 17 U.S.C. 512 copyright infringement, or to prevent counterfeiting and cyber squatting as reasonably determined by JR.
15.1. Government Regulations. Customer will not export, re- export, transfer, or make available, whether directly or indirectly, any regulated item or information to anyone in connection with this Agreement without first complying with all export control laws and regulations which may be imposed by any government within whose jurisdiction Customer operates or does business.
16.1. If an Order Form is terminated prior to expiration by reason of: (i) Customer termination (“Termination for Convenience”), if such termination is not an exercise of Customer’s rights or remedies under the Agreement, or (ii) a Customer Event of Default for failure to pay any payment, as provided, herein, then, in addition to all other sums due and owing, Customer agrees to pay an “Early Termination Charge” to JR.
16.2. For service terminated prior to the end of the Term, an early termination charge will be calculated as an amount equal to the aggregate of all remaining Recurring Charges until the end of the Term (the “Early Termination Charge”).
16.3. If the Recurring Charges (or a component of the Recurring Charges) are fully prepaid, the Early Termination Charge is equal to the unamortized portion of such prepayment as of the date of termination.
16.4. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Early Termination Charge reflects a reasonable estimate of the damages incurred by JR as a result of an early termination, and is not a penalty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, JR may seek all other available remedies in law and in equity in the case of Customer’s default resulting from any reason, other than nonpayment.
17.1 JR is not responsible for unauthorized access to Customer data or the unauthorized use of the Services. Customer is responsible for the use of the Services by any employee of Customers, any person to whom Customer may have given access to the Services, and any person who gains access to Customer data or the Services as a result of Customer failure to use reasonable security precautions, even if such use was not authorized.
17.2 JR agrees that it will not use or disclose Customer Data, except in connection with the performance or use of the Services, as applicable, the exercise of our respective legal rights under the Agreement, or as may be required by law. JR agrees not to disclose the Customer Data to any third person except as follows:
17.2.1 to a law enforcement or government agency if requested or if either of us believes, in good faith, that the other’s conduct may violate applicable criminal law;
17.2.2 as required by law; or
17.2.3 in response to a court order or other compulsory legal process, provided that each of us agrees to give the other written notice of at least seven (7) days prior to disclosing Customer Data under this subsection (or prompt notice in advance of disclosure, if seven (7) days’ advance notice is not reasonably feasible), unless the law forbids such notice.
17.3 Customer Data is and at all times shall remain the exclusive property of Customer and will remain in the exclusive care, custody, and control of Customer.
Customer does not acquire any ownership interest in or right to possess the hosted system or ip address space or scripts outside of the user home directory, no right to access as “root” user, and Customer has no ownership or right of physical access to the hosted system or any components thereof.
