"Hosting Services" - The means to transfer information to and from the Internet
and support, operate, and monitor of such means.
"Internet" - The global information network addressable through the unique
address space provided by the Internet Protocol (IP) that allows communications
and information exchange via the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP).
"Professional Services" - Consulting, designing, programming, writing, creating
content, and other services excluding Hosting Services.
2. STATEMENT OF SERVICES. KEEPSMART hereby agrees to provide, operate and/or
maintain Hosting Services ("Services") for Client according to the Statement of
Work Exhibit ("Exhibit") attached to this Agreement, which Exhibit is
incorporated by reference as part of this Agreement. This Agreement applies only
to KEEPSMART's Services provided to Client and is supplementary to a general
Professional Services Agreement (PSA), if any exists, between KEEPSMART and
Client. If the provisions of this Agreement conflict with those of the PSA, the
provisions of the PSA shall govern. As needed, this Agreement may be modified,
and/or other Services may be added, at any time with the written consent of both
Parties by attaching an Exhibit signed by both Parties.
2.1 CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. KEEPSMART will make a good faith effort to
reestablish access to the CLIENT site in the event of a catastrophic failure.
Processes to inhibit the impact of such a failure include: daily backups that
are stored housed off-site and available off-site facilities for backup or
supplementary hosting.
3. ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY. Client agrees to abide by the "KEEPSMART Acceptable
Use Policy", which is made available to all KEEPSMART customers and which
KEEPSMART may modify and update from time to time. Client will be notified in
writing in the event the policy has been updated. Generally, this policy
includes provisions that KEEPSMART's Services shall not be used: 1) for any
unlawful purposes, and shall not be used to transmit, re-transmit or store
material in violation of any local, state, or federal laws and regulations, and
2) in a manner which is threatening, obscene, indecent or defamatory, and 3) in
any way that may seriously deteriorate the level of service KEEPSMART is able to
provide to its other Clients. Unacceptable actions also include, without
limitation, sending large volumes of unsolicited bulk e-mail, attempting to
circumvent security features in place on KEEPSMART's or other party's systems,
or violating the acceptable use policies of other networks to which Client's
Services provide access. KEEPSMART reserves the right to immediately suspend
Client's Services without notice if Client violates the acceptable use policy.
4. MAINTENANCE. KEEPSMART reserves the right to perform maintenance
periodically on its equipment which may require interrupting Services from the
Internet. KEEPSMART will make a good-faith effort to minimize the impact of such
maintenance and perform the work during off-peak hours. However, KEEPSMART may
perform emergency maintenance as needed to preserve and restore the overall
integrity of Services provided.
5. PAYMENT. Unless otherwise stated in an Exhibit attached to this
Agreement, the following payment terms shall be agreed to and used: KEEPSMART
shall submit monthly itemized invoices, and shall expect prompt payment due
within sixty (60) days from the date of the invoice. A late charge of 1.5% will
be assessed on any payment later than (60) days. Once charges are more than (90)
days past due, a payment default and suspension notice will be sent explaining
KeepSmart's intent to suspend services unless the required payment is received
within 2 weeks.
6. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall continue for an initial term as stated
on the Exhibit, or one (1) year otherwise, and shall automatically renew for
successive ninety (90) day terms until terminated as set forth herein, unless
otherwise specified in the Exhibit. KEEPSMART may immediately terminate this
Agreement upon default of Client's payment due or other breach of an obligation
under this Agreement. Either party may terminate renewal of this Agreement by
giving at least thirty (30) days written notice to the other party prior to the
end of the current term without obligation or liability. If Client terminates
this Agreement other than as set forth above, the following shall apply: a)
Client shall be charged the list price of any non-standard software included as
specified on an Exhibit, and either b) if terminated in the first sixty (60)
days of the initial term, Client shall pay setup fees plus a prorated daily fee
1
for the number of days services were provided up to and including the day
KEEPSMART received notification, or c) if terminated anytime after the first
sixty (60) of the initial term, Client forfeits remainder of the then current
term of the Agreement. In the event XXXXXXXXX.XXX terminates contract without
cause ("cause" is outlined in section 3 of this Agreement), XXXXXXXXX.XXX will
refund to Client a prorated daily fee for the number of days service remaining
as per the attached "Statement of Work."
7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed to give Client or KEEPSMART rights or license to the intellectual
property of the other party. Client warrants and represents that it has
reproduction rights, including copyrights or licenses, to all material that
