Ordering Services / Equipment
2.1. Under the Master Agreement, Customer shall be entitled to place more than one order and - consequently - shall be entitled to submit more than one Order Form. Each Order Form shall be deemed attached hereto and incorporated herein upon its full execution by LeaseWeb and Customer.
2.2. The Services, as well as the service levels, purchased or leased by Customer from LeaseWeb are set out in the Order Form.
2.3. The Order Form specifies the Equipment (i.e. Hardware and Software, as defined in the Annexes) purchased by Customer from LeaseWeb (the “Co-located Equipment”) and the Equipment leased by Customer from LeaseWeb (the “Dedicated Equipment”).
3.
Term
3.1. Subject to termination or extension or renewal of the Master Agreement in accordance with the provisions set out in this Master Agreement, this Master Agreement has been entered into for an initial fixed term (the “Initial Term”) of twelve (12) months, with effect from the date first written below (the “Effective Date”).
3.2. Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing in the Order Form, each Order Form will - subject to termination in accordance with the provisions of this Master Agreement - be entered into for an Initial Term of twelve (12) months.
3.3. At the end of the Initial Term, the Master Agreement or – as applicable – the Order Form shall be renewed for successive terms, equal to the Initial Term, (each a “Renewed Term”) unless either Party notifies the other in writing in accordance with the provisions set out in this Master Agreement that it does not agree to renewal of the Master Agreement or – as applicable – the Order Form, taking into account a notice period of at least sixty (60) days.
3.4. In the event the term of any Order Form expires on a date later than the expiration date of the Master Agreement, then the term of the Master Agreement shall automatically be extended so that the expiration date of the Master Agreement and the relevant Order Form are the same.
4.
(Initial) Delivery of Equipment and Services
4.1. LeaseWeb shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that:
4.1.1.
the Services will be ready for Customer’s use on the ready for service date, i.e. the date as of which LeaseWeb enables Customer to use the Services for the first time, as specified in the Order Form (the “RFS Date”); and
4.1.2.
any Equipment sold by LeaseWeb to Customer will be delivered at the datacenter specified in the Order Form on the ready for installation date, i.e. the date as of which Customer is entitled to install the Co-located Equipment at the LeaseWeb Datacenter, as specified in the Order Form (the “RFI Date”).
In view of the foregoing, Customer acknowledges that both the RFS Date and the RFI Date are target dates.
4.2. With effect from delivery to Customer of the Equipment sold by LeaseWeb to Customer, such Equipment shall be for the risk and benefit of Customer. However, title of ownership to the Equipment will only pass to Customer on the receipt by LeaseWeb of payment - in full - of the purchase price for such Equipment, as specified in the Order Form. For the avoidance of doubt: In the event that Customer leases Dedicated Equipment, such lease will be an operational lease and payment of Service Charges shall not constitute any transfer of ownership of such Dedicated Equipment to Customer.
4.3. LeaseWeb may – at its sole discretion – unilaterally delay the RFS Date, by giving written notice to Customer, taking into account a notice period of at least five (5) days, provided that Customer shall be entitled to a credit equal to ten percent (10%) of the non recurring charges, referred to in Section 7.2.2., with respect to the affected Service if LeaseWeb unilaterally delays the RFS Date by more than thirty (30) days after the initial RFS Date. LeaseWeb’s notice of delay shall state a new RFS Date.
4.4. In case Customer has a complaint with respect to:
4.4.1.
the Services, Customer shall communicate such complaint, including the grounds for its complaint, in writing to LeaseWeb within two (2) days from the RFS date in the absence whereof Services are deemed to be approved of by Customer;

any Equipment sold by LeaseWeb to Customer, Customer shall communicate such complaint, including the grounds for its complaint, in writing to LeaseWeb within five (5) days from the delivery date in the
absence whereof such Equipment shall be deemed to be accepted and approved of by Customer.

Any Services or Equipment required by Customer in excess of any such credit limit will require Customer to deposit an amount equal to or greater than the amount by which Customer will exceed the credit limit.
6.3. In addition to Section 6.2, LeaseWeb may require Customer to provide a deposit or a bank guarantee or a parent guarantee, equivalent to up to three (3) months' Service Charges (actual or projected) or other security satisfactory to LeaseWeb (e.g. a right of pledge on Customer’s assets).
6.4. Any deposit or bank guarantee or parent guarantee shall be held by LeaseWeb as security for the payment of Service Charges and any other amounts due under the Agreement.

17.3.1.
LeaseWeb has received notification from its lessor or landlord with respect to termination or expiration of the Facility Agreement where the Housing Space - that has been licensed to Customer - is located; and
17.3.2.
LeaseWeb will, for any reason, not be able to arrange for an alternative and suitable location for the Housing Space within a period of thirty (30) days after having received notification from its lessor or landlord, such to be determined at LeaseWeb’s sole discretion.
17.4. In addition to Section 17.1, Customer shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement with immediate effect, without an obligation to take into account a notice period, in the event that LeaseWeb unilaterally delays the RFS Date by more than thirty (30) days after the initial RFS Date.

except in the case of termination by Customer pursuant to Sections 17.1.1 - 17.1.5 and/or Section 17.4, all of Customer payment obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to monthly Service Charges through the end of the Term indicated on the Order Form will become due in full immediately; and
18.2.3.
within ten (10) days, Customer will remove all of Customer Equipment and any other property from LeaseWeb’s premises and return the Co-location Space to LeaseWeb in the same condition as it was prior to Customer installation.

Annex D:
Equipment
Annex E:
Rackspace
Annex F:
Network Performance
Annex G:
Compensation
Annex H:
Fault handling
Annex I:
Remote Hands
Annex J:
Extra services
ii.
LeaseWeb and Customer have executed an Internet Services Master Agreement (the “Master Agreement”). The provisions of the Master Agreement, including the definitions used therein, shall apply to the Annexes set out below (Annex B – Annex J).
ANNEX B – IP CONNECTIVITY
1 Services
1.1
Customer agrees to lease from LeaseWeb, and LeaseWeb agrees to lease to Customer, a connection to the Internet (the “IP Connectivity”).
1.2
The Services are covered by the Network Performance Target (the “NPT”), which is specified in Annex F (Network Performance). LeaseWeb reserves the right to amend the NPT from time to time, effective upon posting of the revised NPT at the LeaseWeb website. The NPT sets forth the Customer’s sole remedies for any claim relating to IP Connectivity, including any failure to meet the service level objectives set forth in the NPT. LeaseWeb’s records and data shall be the basis for all NPT calculations and determinations.
1.3
Customer is, whenever applicable for Customer, responsible for (i) providing the first point of contact for its end users’ support inquiries; (ii) providing software fulfilment to its end users; (iii) running its own primary and secondary domain name service for its end users; (iv) registering its end users’ domain names; (v) using BGP4 routing to the Network pursuant to LeaseWeb’s BGP4 routing policy, if requested by LeaseWeb; (vi) collecting route additions and changes, and providing them to LeaseWeb; and (vii) registering with the appropriate agency all IP addresses provided by LeaseWeb to Customer that are allocated to end users.
1.4
Customer may resell the IP Connectivity to its end users, but shall not resell IP Connectivity in their entirety without LeaseWeb’s prior written approval, which may be granted or withheld in LeaseWeb’s sole discretion, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
1.5
Without the prior written approval of LeaseWeb, Customer is not allowed to use other connections to Customers Equipment in the Rackspace, other than the IP Connectivity and other connections from LeaseWeb. This includes Internet, Intranet, wireless, DSL, ISDN, PTN, satellite, IX, LAN and WAN connections.
1.6
IP Connectivity can only be used in the applicable month and cannot be transferred to Equipment other than defined in the Order Form.
1.7
Customer shall choose one of the following specific IP Connectivity types, whereby Customer’s choice will be specified in the Order Form:
1.7.1
Premium
1.7.2 Standard 1.7.3 Volume
1.8
Besides the IP Connectivity types, Customer may have its Colocated Equipment connected via a Local
Load Balancing or Global Load Balancing solution. All these options are covered by a different NPT, as described in Annex F (Network Performance).
v2010-1_1
LeaseWeb - Service Descriptions
(Annex B – Annex J)
2 Methods
2.1
IP Connectivity can either be a Datatraffic (the “Datatraffic”) or Bandwidth (the “Bandwidth”) package. These packages are based on either a Flat rate (the “Flat Fee”) or on continuous measurements that will be combined at the end of each month (the “Measured Fee”) as per the Order Form.
2.2
Datatraffic is always based on a Measured Fee and is the sum of the inbound and outbound traffic at Customer’s Interconnect Point. The applicable scales are MB (MegaByte), GB (GigaByte) and TB (TeraByte).
2.3
Bandwidth can be based on a Flat Fee or Measured Fee. If a Flat Fee has been agreed in the Order Form, Customer is given a bandwidth for disposal, with a maximum level it cannot exceed (port configuration). If a Measured Fee has been agreed in the Order Form, this shall be the higher of inbound and outbound traffic at Customer’s Interconnect Point. The Measured Fee will be calculated and billed by default as a “95th percentile” or on request as an “Average”. The applicable scales are Kbps (Kilobits per second), Mbps (Megabits per second) and Gbps (Gigabits per second). The following abbreviations shall have the same meaning: Kbit = Kbps, Mbit = Mbps and Gbit = Gbps.
2.4
Customer commits to a Datatraffic or Bandwidth package as specified in the Order Form (the “Committed Datatraffic”) or (the “Committed Bandwidth”). The actual Datatraffic or Bandwidth is measured at the end of each month (the “Actual Datatraffic”) or (the “Actual Bandwidth”).
2.5
Extra traffic is the situation when the Actual Datatraffic or Actual Bandwidth exceeds the Committed Datatraffic or Committed Bandwidth (the “Extra Datatraffic”) or (the “Extra Bandwidth”). This will not be possible with Flat Fee packages.
2.6
If the Actual Datatraffic or Actual Bandwidth is lower than or equal to the Committed Datatraffic or Committed Bandwidth, there will be no extra cost. Customer is not entitled to receive restitution for the unused Datatraffic or Bandwidth.
2.7
If the Actual Datatraffic or Actual Bandwidth is higher than the Committed Datatraffic or Committed Bandwidth, LeaseWeb will be entitled to payment by Customer of additional Service Charges, in accordance with the ‘surcharge rate’ specified in the Order Form. Extra Datatraffic will be charged with a MB granularity, at a standard MB pricing. Extra Bandwidth will be charged with a Kbps granularity, at the Committed Bandwidth pricing.
2.8
Traffic for a local backup will not be added to the Datatraffic or Bandwidth, if Customer schedules this backup according the procedure defined in Annex C (SLA).
3 Upgrade / Downgrade / Switch
3.1
Subject to the provisions of the Change Order Procedure - set out in the Master Agreement - and the provisions of this Section 3, Customer shall be entitled to request an Upgrade / Downgrade / Switch with respect to IP Connectivity.
3.2
Subject to LeaseWeb having sufficient capacity at the time of Customer’s request, and without prejudice to the provisions of the Change Order Procedure, Customer shall be allowed to upgrade the Committed Datatraffic or Committed Bandwidth at any time (the “Upgrade Datatraffic”) or (the “Upgrade Bandwidth”). If LeaseWeb has determined that it has sufficient capacity to accept Customers request, the Upgrade will become effective: (a) the first day of the month in which LeaseWeb has accepted Customer’s request, in the event that Customer’s written request was received by LeaseWeb before the 20th day of that month; or (b) the first day of the month following the month in which LeaseWeb has accepted Customer’s request, in the event that the Customer’s request was received by LeaseWeb on or after the 20th day of that month.
3.3
Customer is allowed to downgrade the Committed Datatraffic or Committed Bandwidth at the end of the Term of the applicable order, as set out in the Order Form.
3.4
Without prejudice to the generality of the provisions set out above in Section 3.1, Customer shall not be entitled to switch between Datatraffic and/or Bandwidth packages, unless such Switch has been accepted in writing by an authorised representative of LeaseWeb.
4 Connection
4.1
The interconnection point between Customer’s Equipment and the Network shall be a port on LeaseWeb’s switch and/or router and/or firewall (the “Interconnect Point”) located in the Datacenter that is specified in the Order Form.
v2010-1_1
LeaseWeb - Service Descriptions
(Annex B – Annex J)
4.2
Customer shall be solely responsible for provisioning and maintaining all interconnections, including
without limitation all local loops, between Customer’s network and equipment and the Interconnect Point necessary for Customer to use the Services.
4.3
The standard Interconnect Point will be a Fast Ethernet (FE) port on a LeaseWeb switch. LeaseWeb may decide to provide a different port, should circumstances require it (e.g. GE, STM1).
4.4
Customer is allowed to burst to full port speed. LeaseWeb can take measures to regulate these bursts, if it the bursts exceed 5 times the Committed Bandwidth or Committed Datatraffic, with the guideline that in case of a Datatraffic 1Gb equals 3Kbps for this Section. Customer shall use the Datatraffic evenly during the month.
5
Monitoring and Billing
5.1
LeaseWeb’s monitoring system measures Customer’s IP Connectivity every 5 minutes at the Interconnection Point. The 5-minute average data is displayed on a daily graph. The monitoring system preserves the 5-minute average data for 1 month. Only LeaseWeb’s measurements will be used.
5.2
Datatraffic: the monthly datatraffic samples are added up as to make a sum of all inbound and outbound traffic at Customer’s Interconnect Point in that month. Customer is billed on a volume basis; i.e. total GigaBytes delivered.
5.3
Bandwidth: the monthly bandwidth is used as the basis for the rate for that month. Customer is billed on a bandwidth basis. This is either a “Flat Fee” or a “Measured Fee”.
Flat Fee | a maximum level that cannot be exceeded |
Measured Fee | Measurement will, in accordance with the Order Form, take place on the basis of: |
| · 95th percentile (default): the monthly samples are sorted, and the top 5% |
| (approximately 450) samples are discarded. The highest remaining value is used as the basis for the rate for that month, and is referred to as 95th percentile speed. This effectively removes 36 hours of the highest bandwidth usage per month at Customer’s Interconnect Point; or |
| · Average: the average monthly bandwidth. This average method can only be used when specifically authorized by LeaseWeb |
5.4
From the RFS Date, Customer will be granted access to LeaseWeb’s web based ‘Self Service Center’. In
the Self Service Center, Customer will – among other – be able to monitor the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly graphs of Customer’s IP Connectivity.
6
Use of IP’s
6.1
IP Connectivity includes a number of IPv4 IP’s (the “IP’s”) as specified in the Order Form. Customer can request more IP’s, at an extra cost.
6.2
Customer is aware that a shortage of IP’s exists. Customer shall therefore use IP’s in a conservative manner as this is being propagated by the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) and its RIR’s (Regional Internet Registries). A request by Customer for more than sixteen (16) IP’s shall be accompanied by a written explanation describing the distribution of the IP’s over Customer’s Equipment.
6.3
Customer shall only use the IP’s that have been assigned by LeaseWeb to Customer. In case Customer has more than one (1) piece of Equipment, Customer shall provide a list containing Customer’s Equipment and the assigned IP’s. Customer shall notify LeaseWeb of any change in the assignment of IP’s to Customer’s Equipment.
6.4
In the event of any breach of this Section 6 by Customer, in the form of abuse or misuse of IP’s (e.g. in the form of IP high jacking), in addition to any other remedies available to LeaseWeb, LeaseWeb shall have the right to suspend the applicable Services, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Master Agreement. Customer shall pay all costs related to this breach.
6.5
LeaseWeb provides the IP’s on a temporary basis. Customer will only have the temporary right of use and cannot transfer the IP’s to another ISP. Upon a written notice of at least two (2) months, LeaseWeb may exchange the IP’s that are being used by Customer for different IP’s.

ANNEX J – EXTRA SERVICES
1
Tape rotation
1.1
A backup tape rotation service that involves LeaseWeb changing tapes and store them safely (routines,
using new tapes). The storage of tapes will be done outside the Datacenter in a fire-safe and secured facility. The service includes reloading tapes. The responsibility for the outcome of any of those actions lies with Customer.
1.2
LeaseWeb offers standard tape rotation on a weekly or monthly basis. Customer must have a tape drive
Customer’s Equipment. Customer is responsible to make the backup.
1.3
Tape rotation is performed between Friday 18:00 CET and Monday 18:00 unless otherwise specified.
2 Firewall
2.1
LeaseWeb offers firewall protection to Customer’s Equipment. Although a firewall provides a good
protection against hackers, Customer understands and agrees that the firewall is only part of the security of Customer’s Equipment. Accordingly, Customer shall not hold LeaseWeb responsible in case of (un) successful hack attempts on Customer’s Equipment protected by LeaseWeb’s Firewall.
2.2
DMZ (de-militarised zone) is defined as LeaseWeb’s Network that exists inside of LeaseWeb’s firewalls
for the purpose of connecting Customer’s Equipment to the Internet. LeaseWeb’s firewalls are always redundant and can hold more than one (1) Public and/or Private DMZ.
2.2.1
The Public DMZ will hold other clients’ Equipment besides Customer’s Equipment.
2.2.2
The Private DMZ will not hold other clients’ Equipment besides Customer’s Equipment.
2.2.3
The Dedicated Firewall will only be used to create a DMZ for Customer.
2.3
The Firewall uses the Adaptive Security Algorithm (ASA) protection scheme, which tracks the source and
destination addresses, TCP sequence numbers, port numbers, and TCP flags of every packet and stores the information in a table. Firewalls compare all inbound and outbound packets against this table before permitting access - a comparatively simple method that is more robust than packet filtering, and higher-performance and more scalable than application-level proxy firewalls.
2.4
Cut-Through Proxy - This is currently the fastest method of authenticating users. While proxy servers
analyse data packets at the application layer of the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model, PIX firewalls request authentication from a TACACS+ or RADIUS database server. Once the user has been approved and the policy has been checked, the firewalls allow traffic to flow directly between the two parties while maintaining session state information.
2.5
Fail over/Hot Standby Upgrade Option - Running two PIX firewalls in parallel enables one to take over if
the other malfunctions. This option ensures high availability and eliminates a single point of failure.
3 VPN
3.1
LeaseWeb offers a VPN connection between the DMZ that holds Customer’s Equipment and a location
outside LeaseWeb’s Network. Although a VPN connection provides a good protection against hackers, Customer understands and agrees that the VPN connection is only part of the security of Customer’s Equipment. Accordingly, Customer shall not hold LeaseWeb responsible in case of (un) successful hack attempts on Customer’s Equipment protected by LeaseWeb’s VPN connection.
3.2
LeaseWeb uses IPSec-Based VPN, ensuring interoperability with third-party products and Cisco software.
Windows client software ensures that mobile and remote connections are secure.
4
Load Balancing
4.1
Load Balancing enables the distribution of IP Connectivity among multiple servers. The traffic distribution
can be based on several different matrices:
4.1.1
Fastest: passes user connections to the available server that responds the fastest
4.1.2
Round Xxxxx: sends traffic to the next available server in a predetermined sequence
4.1.3
Least Connections: connects the user to the server with the least number of current connections
4.1.4
Ratio performs: 'ratios' on the server that best fits the request, according to a system that assigns
weights for various factors, such as server capacity
4.2
Using this technology, multiple small servers can be used in the place of one large server. This not only
provides high performance and throughput, it will also ensure redundancy. If a server in a cluster fails (or experiences an unusually heavy load) it will no longer receive traffic and the other servers will take over the load. Load balancing will also allow for seamless scalability as well. Servers can be added or removed from the cluster on demand without any downtime.

protection against hackers, Customer understands and agrees that the SSL connection is only part of the security of Customer’s website. Accordingly, Customer shall not hold LeaseWeb responsible in case of (un) successful hack attempts on Customer’s website protected by LeaseWeb’s SSL.
6.2
The SSL connection consists of a dedicated IP address and a 128bit SSL certificate.
7 ISDN
7.1
LeaseWeb offers an ISDN connection for dial-in (to Customer’s Equipment) or dial-out (from Customer’s
Equipment) purposes.
7.2
