Company is acting only as a reseller or licensor of
the hardware, software and equipment used in connection

manufactured or provided by a third party ("Non-Company
Product"). Company shall not be responsible for any
changes in the Services that cause the Non-Company
Product to become obsolete, require modification or
alteration, or otherwise affect the performance of
the Services. Any malfunction or manufacturer's defects
of Non- Company Product either sold, licensed or provided
by Company to Client or purchased directly by Client
used in connection with the Services will not be deemed
a breach of Company's obligations under this Agreement.
Any rights or remedies Client may have regarding the
ownership, licensing, performance or compliance of
Non-Company Product are limited to those rights extended
to Client by the manufacturer of such Non- Company
Product. Client is entitled to use any Non-Company
Product supplied by Company only in connection with
Client's permitted use of the Services. Client shall
use its best efforts to protect and keep confidential
all intellectual property provided by Company to Client
through any Non-Company Product and shall make no
attempt to copy, alter, reverse engineer, or tamper
with such intellectual property or to use it other
than in connection with the Services. Client shall
not resell, transfer, export or re-export any Non-Company
Product, or any technical data derived therefrom,
in violation of any applicable United States or foreign
law.

If Company assigns Client an Internet Protocol ("IP")
address for Client's use, the right to use that IP
address shall belong only to Company, and Client shall
have no right to use that IP address except as permitted
by Company in its sole and absolute discretion in
connection with the Services, during the term of this
Agreement. Company shall maintain and control ownership
of all Internet Protocol numbers and addresses that
may be assigned to Client by Company, and Company
reserves the right to change or remove any and all
such Internet Protocol numbers and addresses, in its
sole and absolute discretion.
9. Caching.
Client expressly (i) grants to Company a license to
cache the entirety of the Client Content and Client's
web site, including content supplied by third parties,
hosted by Company under this Agreement and (ii) agrees

Client's intellectual property rights or any third
party's intellectual property rights.
10. CPU Usage.
Client agrees that Client shall not use excessive
amounts of CPU processing on any of Company's servers.
Any violation of this policy may result in corrective
action by Company, including assessment of additional
charges, disconnection or discontinuance of any and
all Services, or termination of this Agreement, which
actions may be taken in Company's sole and absolute
discretion. If Company takes any corrective action
under this section, Client shall not be entitled to
a refund of any fees paid in advance prior to such
action.
11. Bandwidth and Disk Usage.
Client agrees that bandwidth and disk usage shall

the time of sign-up (or other measurements of services
in the form of gigabytes, terabytes, etc.) per month
for the Services ordered by Client on the Order Form
(the "Agreed Usage"). Company will monitor Client's
bandwidth and disk usage. Company shall have the right
to take corrective action if Client's bandwidth or
disk usage exceeds the Agreed Usage. Such corrective
action may include the assessment of additional charges,
disconnection or discontinuance of any and all Services,
or termination of this Agreement, which actions may
be taken in Company's sole and absolute discretion.
If Company takes any corrective action under this
section, Client shall not be entitled to a refund
of any fees paid in advance prior to such action.
12. Property Rights.
a. Company hereby grants to Client a non-exclusive,
non- transferable, royalty-free license, exercisable
solely during the term of this Agreement, to use Company
technology, products and services solely for the purpose
of accessing and using the Services. Client may not
use Company's technology for any purpose other than
accessing and using the Services. Except for the rights
expressly granted above, this Agreement does not transfer
from Company to Client any Company technology, and
all rights, titles and interests in and to any Company
technology shall remain solely with Company. Client
shall not, directly or indirectly, reverse engineer,
decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive
source code or other trade secrets from any of the
Company.
b. Company owns all right, title and interest in and
to the Services and Company's trade names, trademarks,
service marks, inventions, copyrights, trade secrets,
patents, know-how and other intellectual property
rights relating to the design, function, marketing,
promotion, sale and provision of the Services and
the related hardware, software and systems ("Marks").

Client to use or resell the Marks.
13. Disclaimer of Warranty.

OF THEM MAKE ANY WARRANTIES AS TO THE RESULTS THAT
MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICES OR AS

DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY, FOR THE CONTENT OF ANY DATA
TRANSFERRED EITHER TO OR FROM CLIENT OR STORED BY
CLIENT OR ANY OF CLIENTt'S CLIENTS VIA THE SERVICES

performance thereof; (b) at least at the same level

within thirty (30) days after performance of any Services
of any breach of the foregoing warranties. Client's
sole and exclusive remedy, and Company's sole obligation,
for breach of the foregoing warranties shall be for

have been interrupted. Company may provision the Services
from any of its data centers and may from time to
time re-provision the Services from different data
centers.

equipment or any third-party equipment not within
the sole control of Company. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY
PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION, COMPANY MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS
OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH
RESPECT TO THE SERVICES OR ANY SOFTWARE PROVIDED UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY
RIGHTS, AND COMPANY HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS THE
SAME. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, ANY THIRD-PARTY
SOFTWARE PROVIDED TO CLIENT HEREUNDER IS PROVIDED
"AS IS" WITHOUT ANY CONDITION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER.

Agreement, Company's maximum liability under this
Agreement for all damages, losses, costs and causes

loss occurred or the cause of action arose.
f. Client understands, acknowledges and agrees that
if Company takes any corrective action under this
Agreement because of an action of Client or one if

reseller Clients, and Client agrees that Company shall
have no liability to Client, any of its Clients or
any Reseller Client due to such corrective action
by Company.

If any provision or portion of any provision of this
Agreement shall be held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction,

provisions or portions thereof shall constitute their

exercise of any right or remedy by any party preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right or remedy. No express waiver or
assent by any party hereto to any breach of or default
in any term or condition of this Agreement shall constitute
a waiver of or an assent to any succeeding breach
of or default in the same or any other term or condition
hereof.
h. Assignment; Successors. Client may not assign or
transfer this Agreement, or any of its rights or obligations
hereunder, without the prior written consent of Company.

its rights hereunder, without the consent of Client.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure
to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.

form, arising by reason of or in connection with this
Agreement may be brought by either party more than
two years after the cause of action has arisen.

accurate unless proven otherwise.
k. Force Majeure. Neither party is liable for any
default or delay in the performance of any of its

is caused, directly or indirectly, by forces beyond
such party's reasonable control, including, without
limitation, fire, flood, acts of God, labor disputes,
accidents, acts of war or terrorism, interruptions
of transportation or communications, supply shortages
or the failure of any third party to perform any commitment
relative to the production or delivery of any equipment
