4. Provision of Information.

You agree to provide us with complete and accurate information concerning your (or the applicable) computer system(s) and network(s) if asked to do so. Pax8 reserves the right to refuse to provide services to you at any time if:

  • We determine that your computer and network configuration are not supportable by us; or
  • You fail to provide the requested information; or
  • You have provided insufficient information for us to proceed with the Services.
5. Out of Scope.

Pax8 will have no obligation to provide service that is outside the scope of this Agreement, including requests:

  • Outside the scope of any applicable Statement of Work;

  • Made outside the designated hours of the ordered Services, if applicable;

  • Made by you on behalf of another entity;

  • Made by an individual that is not on the list of your designated representatives;

  • Concerning a product or service other than the Supported Products;

  • Concerning a Supported Product that has been modified by other than Pax8 or its authorized affiliates, or which has been combined, integrated or bundled with non-Supported Products; or

  • For problems caused, directly or indirectly, by negligence, abuse or misapplication, use of the Supported Product other than as is specified in the applicable documentation, or other causes beyond the control of Pax8 including, without limitation, damage caused by fire, lightning, accident, flood, or other similar causes, unsuitable physical environment and improper service by someone other than Pax8 or a Pax8 authorized contractor, reseller or distributor.

If Pax8 determines, at its sole discretion, that a service request made by you may be outside the scope of the Services, Pax8 shall so notify you, and you may (a) request Pax8 in writing to proceed with the requested service at your expense, as further provided below; or (b) advise Pax8 in writing that you do not wish Pax8 to proceed with the service request at your expense. If you do not advise Pax8 of either (a) or (b) within ten (10) business days of Pax8’s notification, you will be deemed to have advised Pax8 not to pursue the service request. Pax8 shall have no liability to you for any problem which is outside the scope of the Services, or any service request that you advise, or are deemed to have advised, Pax8 not to pursue.

If you request that Pax8 proceed with a service request at your possible expense, you must provide authorization to Pax8 in writing. If you authorize Pax8 to proceed and Pax8 subsequently determines that the service request is outside the scope of the Services, you will compensate Pax8 for all work performed in connection with such determination on a time and materials basis, plus reasonable related expenses incurred therewith, at Pax8’s then-current rate for such services.

11. Termination for Cause.

14. Confidential Information.

(a) “Confidential Information” means information that is disclosed or otherwise made available by either party under this Agreement, that the receiving party knows or should reasonably be expected to know is proprietary or confidential. Confidential information does not include: information that later becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party; information that is rightfully developed or obtained by the receiving party from independent sources free of any duty of confidentiality.

(b) Use of Confidential Information. A party receiving Confidential Information will restrict its use to purposes necessary for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. During the term of this Agreement and thereafter, the receiving party will safeguard against the disclosure of Confidential Information to third parties using the same degree of care to prevent disclosure as it uses to protect its own information of like importance, but at least reasonable care. The receiving party will limit disclosures of Confidential Information to its employees and professional advisors to those necessary to carry out this Agreement.

Receiving party will immediately notify disclosing party upon learning of or having reason to suspect any breach of this Section 13. In the event the receiving party is legally required to disclose Confidential Information, it will, to the extent permissible by law, notify disclosing party with sufficient time for disclosing party to seek relief.

15. Disclaimers.

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” WE AND OUR AFFILIATIES AND LICENSORS MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE REGARDING THE SERVICE OFFERINGS OR THE THIRD-PARTY CONTENT, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICE OFFERINGS OR THIRD-PARTY CONTENT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY CONTENT, INCLUDING YOUR CONTENT OR THIRD-PARTY CONTENT, WILL BE SECURE OR NOT OTHERWISE LOST OR DAMAGED. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW OR AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH HEREIN, WE AND OUR AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF ANY COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. IN ADDITION, SERVICES ARE LIMITED TO CURRENT PRODUCTION SUPPORTED PRODUCTS.

16. Indemnification.

16.1 General. You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Pax8, our affiliates and licensors, and each of their respective employees, officers, directors, and representatives from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to any third-party claim concerning: (a) your use of the Services; or (b) breach of this Agreement or violation of applicable law by you. If we or our affiliates are obligated to respond to a third-party subpoena or other compulsory legal order or process described above, you will also reimburse us for reasonable attorneys’ fees, as well as our employees’ and contractors’ time and materials spent responding to the third-party subpoena or other compulsory legal order or process at our then-current hourly rates.  

16.2 Process. We will promptly notify you of any claim subject to Section 15.1, but our failure to promptly notify you will only affect your obligations under Section 15.1 to the extent that our failure prejudices your ability to defend the claim. You may: (a) use counsel of your choice with our written consent; and (b) settle any claim as you deem appropriate; provided that you obtain our written consent before entering into any settlement. We may also assume control of the defense and settlement of the claim at any time.  

17. Limitations of Liability.

WE AND OUR AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, OR DATA), EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. FURTHER, NEITHER WE NOR ANY OF OUR AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY COM\PENSATION, REIMBURSEMENT, OR DAMAGES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH: (a) YOUR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, INCLUDING AS A RESULT OF ANY (i) TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICES, (ii) OUR DISCONTINUATION OF ANY OR ALL OF THE SERVICES, OR, WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT, ANY UNANTICIPATED OR UNSCHEDULED DOWNTIME OF ALL OR A PORTION OF THE SERVICES FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING AS A RESULT OF POWER OUTAGES, SYSTEM FAILURES OR OTHER INTERRUPTIONS; (b) THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; (c) ANY INVESTMENTS, EXPENDITURES, OR COMMITMENTS BY YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICES; OR (d) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO, ALTERATION OF, OR THE DELETION, DESTRUCTION, DAMAGE, LOSS OR FAILURE TO STORE ANY OF YOUR CONTENT OR OTHER DATA. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PAX8’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ACTUAL DAMAGES FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER WILL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO PAX8, OR PAX8 PARTNER IF PAID TO A PAX8 PARTNER, FOR THE SERVICES THAT CAUSED SUCH DAMAGE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE DATE THE CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE.  The limitation of liability set forth above is a fundamental element of the basis of this Agreement between Pax8 and you.  Pax8 would not be able to provide the Services on an economic basis without such limitations.

18.6 Severability. If any portion of this Agreement is held to be or becomes invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
