It is effective on the date set out below.

    1. Services

    1. Throughout this Agreement, our products and services are referred to as “Service” or “Services.”

    2. The pricing, features and term of the products and services you purchase from us are set out on the web page on which the particular products and/or services are described (the “Description Page”). The Services are provided to you based on the Description Page as of the Effective Date. The Effective Date is the date service is initiated. The Description Page may change during the Term. We are only obligated to provide to you the Services as set out on the Description Page on the Effective Date. ProHosterZ offers Customers the ability to upgrade the Services. At the time your upgrade order is processed, you are bound by the terms and conditions of that particular Service, for the Term of that Service.

    3. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services available to you. We reserve the right to modify the Services, or the way in which we provide them to you, should:

      1. A third party vendor cease making a critical aspect of the Services available to us;

      2. The Services be prohibited by law or regulation; and/or

      3. It becomes uneconomical for us to continue to provide them to you.

    4. The Services may contain software, hardware or services provided by third parties (the “Third Party Vendors”). Third Party Vendors may have reserved the right to make changes to the way they provide their products. These changes may materially affect the Services. You may not terminate this Agreement because of those changes.

    5. Co-management of the server

      If set out on the Description Page, you will have access to the server or servers used to provide the Services to you.

    6. Configuration and Support

      The Services are provided to you in a standardized manner. Should you wish to use the Services in a particular manner, it is your responsibility to configure the Services. Any custom configuration may not affect our operation of the network, our provisioning of the Services of other customers, and is otherwise subject to our approval.

    7. Shared Hosting Services

      1. Our Shared Hosting Services are subject to capacity controls and CPU usage restrictions. If your use of the server, bandwidth or memory exceeds that of a similarly situated customer, this Agreement may be terminated by us, or your service may be suspended until you mitigate your excess use of our resources.

      2. You may not run background or other processes that consume excess resources. This Agreement may be terminated by us, or your service may be suspended, until you remove the program running the background processes.

    8. Virtual Private Servers

      1. Our Virtual Private Servers Service is subject to capacity controls and CPU usage restrictions. If your use of the server, bandwidth or memory exceeds that of a similarly situated customer, this Agreement may be terminated by us, or your service may be suspended until you mitigate your excess use of our resources.

      2. You must use our Virtual Private Servers Service in a responsible manner. In particular, your use may not disrupt other users of the Service, or our network. If your use does in fact cause such disruption, we may require you to modify your use of the Virtual Private Servers Service, or discontinue use of the Service altogether until such time as your use does not cause such interference.

    9. Backup Services

      1. The Description Page on which the features of Backup Services are set out is a summary of the features and aspects of the Backup Services. While we have designed the Backup Services in a general manner, it is your responsibility to configure the Backup Services to serve your unique needs.

      2. Backup Services are provided on an as-is and as-available basis, as a supplement to, and not in lieu of your own backup programs. While we will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the effective operation of our Backup Services, you expressly agree that no backup program or service is error-free or fail-safe.

      3. The Backup Services may be used to restore your data. However, restoring your data does not always result in the data retaining the same or a similar configuration. When we restore your data, it may be necessary for you to make changes to it.

      4. Backup Services are designed for disaster recovery. Should you, or a third party, request that the data held by us as a result of 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 attorney’s fees we incur in reviewing, responding to, or producing your data. You may also be required to pay us a retainer to secure your obligations.

    10. Software

      1. The Services may come pre-configured with software owned by a Third Party (the “Third Party Software”).

It is your sole and exclusive responsibility to determine if installation of the Patches will damage your data, or otherwise affect the operation of the Services, as provided to, or used by, you.

    4. If we suspend the Services for a reason within your control, the Fees will continue to Accrue.

    5. Your use of the Services may be contingent on payment of fees to Third Parties. If you fail to pay these fees when due, your use of the Services may be suspended, disrupted or terminated.

    6. If you dispute a Fee charged by us to you, you must contact us prior to the Due Date. Upon your presentation to us of written documentation supporting your view of the dispute, we will temporarily suspend the Fees in dispute. You remain responsible for any Fees not reasonably within the scope of the dispute. If we disagree with your view of the dispute, we will provide you with evidence of our view. If, within 15 days of our presentation of our evidence, you continue to dispute your obligation to pay the Fees, with our agreement you may place the Fees in escrow with a reputable escrow company, and pursue your available rights. We are only obligated to continue to provide the Services to you during a Fee dispute, if you place the disputed Fees in escrow, and provide us with written evidence of this escrow. You may not dispute Fees due a Third Party.

    3. Term
