PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY, AS IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
This Agreement ("Agreement") sets forth the terms and conditions of your use of the Cirrascale Cloud Services platform services (the "Services"), and represents the entire agreement between You and Cirrascale Cloud Services ("Cirrascale") concerning the subject matter hereof and is made effective as of the date of manual or electronic acceptance.
Use of the service signifies you are accepting this Agreement and are stating that the information contained within is accurate and has been reviewed by you, the customer. Your acceptance of this Agreement signifies that you have read, understand, acknowledge and agree to be bound by this Agreement, and any other agreements or policies that are expressly incorporated herein.
The terms "We", "Us" or "Our" shall refer to Cirrascale Cloud Services. The terms "You", "Your", "User" or "Customer" shall refer to any individual or entity who accepts this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer any third-party rights or benefits.
We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, change or modify this Agreement, any policies or agreements which are incorporated herein, and any limits or restrictions on the Services, at any time, and such changes or modifications shall be effective immediately upon posting to the Cirrascale Website (www.cirrascale.com). Your use of the Services after such changes or modifications shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement and any limitations to the Services as last revised. If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement and any Service limitations as last revised, do not continue to use the Services. We may occasionally notify you of changes or modifications to this Agreement by email. It is therefore very important that you keep your contact information current with Cirrascale. We assume no liability or responsibility for your failure to receive an email notification if such failure results from an inaccurate email address.
We offer varying plans of Dedicated Server Services:
Dedicated Server. If you purchase time on a Dedicated Server, an entire server is reserved exclusively for your usage. You will have exclusive rights to your server's bandwidth, memory, and storage space, and your server's computational performance will not be affected by the usage patterns of other customers.
You are solely responsible for reviewing the functionality of uploaded applications and data content in the Cirrascale hosted location.
Professional Services. If we determine that any support request falls outside the scope of your service plan, you can request custom support services ("Professional Services") on a thirty (30) minute incremental basis for a fee, or on a per service basis, which we will quote to you before providing the custom support service. If you elect to use our Professional Services, we reserve the right to charge any or all of the fees for such Services prior to the commencement of any work being performed. Professional Services fees are non-refundable. In the event you request that we install any Third Party Software (defined below) not provided as part of the Services, you represent and warrant that (1) you have the right to use and install the Third Party Software, (2) you have paid the applicable licensing fees for the Third Party Software, and (3) the Third Party Software does not and shall not infringe on the intellectual property rights of any other person or entity. You also agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless us and our employees, officers and directors for, from and against any and all claims brought against us and our employees, officers or directors by a third party alleging the Third Party Software is not being used lawfully or that it infringes a third party's right, patent, trademark, copyright or other intellectual property right. You agree that in such an event you shall pay all resulting costs, damages, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees that a court awards and any settlements incurred by us in connection with any such claims. You must, within three days of any Professional Services delivery, notify us if there are any issues with the Professional Services. We are not responsible for and will not provide assistance with any issue(s) that arise beyond the three days of any Professional Services.
Migration of Servers. You acknowledge and agree that as a normal course of business, it may be necessary for us to migrate our servers. As a result, you may be assigned or re-assigned a different IP address. We do not warrant that you will be able to consistently maintain your given IP address.
Termination of Services. You acknowledge and agree that upon expiration or termination of your Services, you must discontinue use of the Services and relinquish use of the IP addresses and server names assigned to you in connection with Services. Prior to termination of the Services, you are responsible for moving your applications or server content off our servers. We will not transfer your server content to another provider. If you fail to move your server content off our servers prior to termination, then all such content will be deleted and we will not be able to provide a copy of such content.
Justification. You acknowledge and agree that we shall have the right to seek justification in connection with your use of the Services, and you shall be obligated to provide any and all information reasonably sought by us pursuant to such justification.
Abusive Activities. You acknowledge and agree that you may not use our servers as a source, intermediary, reply to address, or destination address for mail bombs, Internet packet flooding, packet corruption, denial of service, or other abusive activities. Server hacking or other perpetration of security breaches is prohibited and we reserve the right to terminate service without warning should such activity occur. Use of your dedicated server(s) as an anonymous gateway is prohibited. We prohibit the use of software or scripts run on our servers that cause the server to load beyond a reasonable level, as determined by us. You agree that we reserve the right to remove your applications temporarily or permanently from our servers if you are in violation of this Agreement and/or there are activities that threaten the stability of our network. You acknowledge and agree that all applications and servers associated with your account may be removed if one server is in violation of this Agreement. You agree not to engage in unacceptable use of the Services, which includes, without limitation, use of the Services to: (1) disseminate or transmit any material that, to a reasonable person may be grossly offensive, vulgar or malicious; (2) attempt to mislead any person as to the identity, source or origin of any communication; (3) interfere, disrupt or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any computer system, server, network or account for which you do not have authorization to access or at a level exceeding your authorization; (4) engage in any other activity deemed by us to be in conflict with the spirit or intent of this Agreement or any of our policies; or (5) use your server as an "open relay" or for similar purposes.
Storage and Security. You shall be solely responsible for undertaking measures to: (1) prevent any loss or damage to your applications or server content; (2) maintain independent archival and backup copies of your applications or server content; and (3) ensure the security, confidentiality and integrity of all your applications or server content transmitted through or stored on our servers.
Our servers are not an archive and we shall have no liability to you or any other person for loss, damage or destruction of any of your content. You shall not use the Service in any way, in our sole discretion, that shall impair the functioning or operation of our services or equipment. Specifically by way of example and not as a limitation, you shall not use the Services as: (1) a repository or instrument for placing or storing archived files; and/or (2) placing or storing material that can be downloaded through other websites. You acknowledge and agree that we have the right to carry out a forensic examination in the event of a compromise to your server or account.
Server Content. You shall be solely responsible for providing, updating, uploading and maintaining your server and any and all files, pages, data, works, information and/or materials on, within, displayed, linked or transmitted to, from or through your server. You acknowledge and agree that in the course of providing you with technical assistance, it may be necessary for our support staff to modify, alter or remove the contents of your dedicated server.
The Dedicated Server will come configured with one of the standard configurations selected by You. We may install a limited number of additional applications ("Supported Applications") or modify the standard configuration ("Configuration Add-Ons") of your server at your request and subsequent purchase of Professional Services. A full list of Supported Applications is available from our support team upon request. We will provide the primary (administrator) username, authentication credentials, and access information to You, at which point You will take over the management and additional configuration of the Dedicated Server. We will not be responsible for content, customization, or any other activities associated with the Supported Application, including any repair of the Supported Application should it stop working. We shall limit technical support of an inoperable Supported Application to restoring said Supported Application to its original state (fresh installation, with no data or customization).
Configuration Add-Ons. We offer multiple configuration options ("Configuration Add-Ons") for an extra fee. The specific Configuration Add-Ons available depend on which dedicated server configuration you purchase. You acknowledge and agree that installing a Configuration Add-On may require additional provisioning time, may require us to install Third Party Software (defined below), third party hardware or internally developed custom software to your server, and, in some cases, may limit the versions of Third Party Software available for use with your server. Third Party Software, third party hardware and internally developed customer software will not be supported by us.
We offer a Service uptime guarantee of 99.5% ("Service Uptime Guarantee") of available time per month. If we fail to maintain this Service Uptime Guarantee in a particular month (as solely determined by us), you may contact us and request a credit of 5% of your monthly fee for that month. The credit may be used only for the purchase of further products and services from us, and is exclusive of any applicable taxes. The Service Uptime Guarantee does not apply to service interruptions caused by: (1) periodic scheduled maintenance or repairs we may undertake from time to time; (2) interruptions caused by you from custom scripting, coding or the installation of third-party applications; (3) causes beyond our control or that are not reasonably foreseeable; and (4) outages related to the reliability of certain programming environments.
Cirrascale accepts wire transfers as its preferred method of payment. Major credit cards and Paypal payments may be accepted but an additional transaction fee of up to 3% may apply. Please note that any payment terms presented to you in the process of using or signing up for paid Services are deemed part of this Agreement.
Some of our services may consist of an initial period, for which there is an up-front charge, followed by recurring period charges as agreed to by you. By choosing a recurring payment plan, you acknowledge that such services have an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for payment of all recurring charges prior to cancellation for the term agreed upon.
IN SOME CASES, WE MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES (E.G., MONTHLY) WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU PROVIDE PRIOR NOTICE (RECEIPT OF WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY US) THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WE REASONABLY COULD ACT. TO TERMINATE YOUR AUTHORIZATION OR CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD CONTACT AP@CIRRASCALE.COM.
Customer is responsible for any duties, customs fees, taxes, and related penalties, fines, audits, interest and back-payments relating to Customer's purchase of the Services, including but not limited to national, state or local sales taxes, use taxes, value-added taxes (VAT) and goods and services taxes (GST) (collectively, "Taxes"). Cirrascale's standard pricing policies do not include and are not discounted or enhanced for any such Taxes. If Cirrascale becomes obligated to collect or pay Taxes in connection with Customer's purchase of the Services, those Taxes will be invoiced to that Customer as part of a billing process or collected at the time of purchase. In certain states, countries and territories, Cirrascale may determine if Customer's purchase of Services is subject to certain Taxes, and if so, may collect such Taxes and remit them to the appropriate taxing authority. If Customer believes that a given tax does not apply or that some amount must be withheld from payments to Cirrascale, Customer must promptly provide Cirrascale with a tax certificate, withholding receipt, tax identifier (e.g., VAT ID) or other adequate proof, provided such information is valid and sufficiently authorized by all appropriate taxing authorities. Customer must also provide Cirrascale with any tax identification information that is necessary for Cirrascale to comply with Cirrascale's tax obligations, as determined by Cirrascale from time to time. Customer will be solely responsible for any misrepresentations made or non-compliance caused by Customer regarding Taxes, whether with respect to Cirrascale or other parties, including any penalties, fines, audits, interest, back-payments or further taxes associated with such misrepresentations or non-compliance.
If a Customer is past due on their balance, Cirrascale may send up to three (3) email notifications within a fifteen (15) day period before suspending the Customer's account. Servers will be temporarily powered off during the suspension period. Cirrascale reserves the right to delete the Customer's suspended machines after the final termination notice.
There are no refunds of any payments made.
