(d) Breach of Warranties. In the event of any breach, or reasonably anticipated breach, of any of the foregoing warranties, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, Exodus will have the right immediately, in Exodus’ sole discretion, to suspend any related Internet Data Center Services if deemed reasonably necessary by Exodus to prevent any harm to Exodus and its business.
5.2 Warranties and Disclaimers by Exodus.
5.2(a) Service Level Warranty. In the event Customer experiences any of the following and Exodus determines in its reasonable judgment that such inability was caused by Exodus’ failure to provide Internet Data Center Services for reasons within Exodus’ reasonable control and not as a result of any actions or inactions of Customer or any third parties (including Customer Equipment and third party equipment), Exodus will, upon Customer’s request in accordance with paragraph (iii) below, credit Customer’s account as described below:
(i) Inability to Access the Internet (Downtime). If Customer is unable to transmit and receive information from Exodus’ Internet Data Centers (i.e., Exodus’ LAN and WAN), to other portions of the Internet because Exodus failed to provide the Internet Data Center Services for more than [***], Exodus will credit Customer’s account the [***]. Exodus’ scheduled maintenance of the Internet Data Centers and Internet Data Center Services, as described in the Rules and Regulations, shall not be deemed to be a failure of Exodus to provide Internet Data Center Services. For purposes of the foregoing, “unable to transmit and receive” shall mean sustained packet loss in excess of [***] based on Exodus’ measurements.
(ii) Packet Loss and Latency. Exodus does not proactively monitor the packet loss or transmission latency of specific customers. Exodus does, however, proactively monitor the aggregate packet loss and transmission latency within its LAN and WAN. In the event that Exodus discovers (either from its own efforts or after being notified by Customer) that Customer is experiencing packet loss in excess of [***] (“Excess Packet Loss”) or transmission latency in excess of [***] round trip time (based on Exodus’ measurements) between any two Internet Data Centers within Exodus’ U.S. network (collectively, “Excess Latency,” and with Excess Packet Loss “Excess Packet Loss/Latency”), and Customer notifies Exodus (or confirms that Exodus has notified Customer), Exodus will take all actions necessary to determine the source of the Excess Packet Loss/Latency.
(A) Time to Discover Sources of Excess Packet Loss/Latency, Notification of Customer. Within [***] of discovering the existence of Excess Packet Loss/Latency, Exodus will determine whether the source of the Excess Packet Loss/Latency is limited to the Customer Equipment and the Exodus equipment connecting the Customer Equipment to Exodus’ LAN (“Customer Specific Packet Loss/Latency”). If the Excess Packet Loss/Latency is not a Customer Specific Packet Loss/Latency, Exodus will determine the source of the Excess Packet Loss/Latency within [***]. In any event, Exodus will notify Customer of the source of the Excess Packet Loss/Latency within [***] after identifying the source.
(B) Remedy of Excess Packet Loss/Latency. If the Excess Packet Loss/Latency remedy is within the sole control of Exodus, Exodus will remedy the Excess Packet Loss/Latency within [***] of determining the source of the Excess Packet Loss/Latency. If the Excess Packet Loss/Latency is caused from outside of the Exodus LAN or WAN, Exodus will notify Customer and will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the party(ies) responsible for the source and cooperate with it(them) to resolve the problem [***].
(C) Failure to Determine Source and/or Resolve Problem. In the event that Exodus is unable to determine the source of and remedy the Excess Packet Loss/Latency within the time periods described above (where Exodus was solely in control of the source), Exodus will credit Customer’s account the [***] after the time periods described above that it takes Exodus to resolve the problem, up to an aggregate [***].
(iii) Customer Must Request Credit. To receive any of the credits described in this section 5.2(a), Customer must notify Exodus within [***] business days from the time Customer becomes eligible to receive a credit. Failure to comply with this requirement will forfeit Customer’s right to receive a credit.
(iv) Remedies Shall Not Be Cumulative; Maximum Credit. In the event that Customer is entitled to multiple credits hereunder arising from the same event, such credits shall not be cumulative and Customer shall be entitled to receive only the maximum single credit available for such event. In no event will Exodus be required to credit Customer in any [***]. A credit shall be applied only to the month in which there was the incident that resulted in the credit. Customer shall not be eligible to receive any credits for periods in which Customer received any Internet Data Center Services free of charge.
(v) Termination Option for Chronic Problems. If, in any single calendar month, Customer would be able to receive credits totaling [***] or more events during such calendar month or, if any single event entitling customer to credits under paragraph 5.2(a)(i) exits for a period of [***], then, Customer may terminate this Agreement for cause and without penalty by notifying Exodus within [***] days following the end of such calendar month. Such termination will be effective [***] days after receipt of such notice by Exodus.
THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY INTERNET DATA CENTER SERVICES THAT EXPRESSLY EXCLUDE THIS WARRANTY (AS DESCRIBED IN THE SPECIFICATION SHEETS FOR SUCH PRODUCTS). THIS SECTION 5.2(a) STATES CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY FAILURE BY EXODUS TO PROVIDE INTERNET DATA CENTER SERVICES.
(b) No Other Warranty. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTY SET OUT IN SUBSECTION (a) ABOVE, THE INTERNET DATA CENTER SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, AND CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE INTERNET DATA CENTER SERVICES IS AT ITS OWN RISK. EXODUS DOES NOT MAKE, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS, ANY AND ALL OTHER EXPRESS AND/OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT AND TITLE, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE. EXODUS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE INTERNET DATA CENTER SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR COMPLETELY SECURE.
(c) Disclaimer of Actions Caused by and/or Under the Control of Third Parties. EXODUS DOES NOT AND CANNOT CONTROL THE FLOW OF DATA TO OR FROM EXODUS” INTERNET DATA CENTERS AND OTHER PORTIONS OF THE INTERNET. SUCH FLOW DEPENDS IN LARGE PART ON THE PERFORMANCE OF INTERNET SERVICES PROVIDED OR CONTROLLED BY THIRD PARTIES. AT TIMES, ACTIONS OR INACTIONS CAUSED BY THESE THIRD PARTIES CAN PRODUCE SITUATIONS IN WHICH EXODUS’ CUSTOMERS’ CONNECTIONS TO THE INTERNET (OR PORTIONS THEREOF) MAY BE IMPAIRED OR DISRUPTED. ALTHOUGH EXODUS WILL USE COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE EFFORTS TO TAKE ACTIONS IT DEEMS APPROPRIATE TO REMEDY AND AVOID SUCH EVENTS, EXODUS CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THEY WILL NOT OCCUR. ACCORDINGLY, EXODUS DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RESULTING FROM OR RELATED TO SUCH EVENTS.
