In order to provision Backup Storage and create Client’s data protection strategy, Client must purchase Professional Services hours, which will be rendered pursuant to a separate SOW.

17. Migration of Client’s Data to/from Client’s C9 Environment- Included in the initial purchase of a Cloudnine Realtime Subscription is 2 hours of Professional Service time to assist Client with the migration of Client’s data files (as opposed to email files, which are discussed in the next paragraph MS365 E-mail Services) to the designated Document Storage within Client’s C9 Environment. All data migration to/from Client’s C9 Environment beyond the initial two hours for data files is outside the scope of Cloudnine’ obligations set forth in these Terms and Conditions. Professional Services can be retained on an hourly basis to assist with this additional data migration. Any such services for additional data migration shall be governed by a separate SOW. To the extent Client provides Cloudnine with data for the purposes of migrating that data to Client’s C9 Environment, Client herby confirms that it has the legal right to have that data migrated to it C9 Environment. Client further acknowledges that if a dispute arises over whether Client has the legal right to possess or control the data prior to Cloudnine performing the migration, Cloudnine will not migrate the data to Client’s C9 Environment absent written authorization from the party originally disputing Client’s right to the data or a court order.

18. MS365 E-mail Services- Where Client has purchased MS365 through a Service Order Form or Service Order Addendum, Cloudnine will perform the following tasks to set up Client’s e-mail accounts in MS365:

  1. Establish Client’s MS365 account in Client’s name.
  2. Associate the domain name provided by Client to the MS365 Account. Cloudnine’s obligation to complete this task is contingent upon Client providing Cloudnine with any domain names that Client owns and intends to utilize in MS365, as it is Client’s sole responsibility to obtain the domain names Client wishes to utilize in MS365. For technical reasons, Cloudnine cannot complete this task if Client’s specified domain is still attached to an existing Microsoft Office 365 Account that Client may have or had through a vendor other than Cloudnine. It shall be Client’s sole responsibility to take the necessary steps to ensure that Client’s specified domain is no longer attached to such an Account.
  3. Using best efforts, add a MS365 verification Text record to the DNS zone file for each of the domains that Client intends to use in MS365. Cloudnine’s obligation to complete this task is contingent upon Client providing Cloudnine access to Client’s Domain Names System (“DNS”) provider portal.
  4. Create specific user Accounts, mailboxes, e-mail addresses and distribution groups specified by Client to use in Client’s MS365 portal. Cloudnine’s obligation to complete this task is contingent upon Client providing Cloudnine an Accounting of the user Accounts, mailboxes, email addresses and distribution groups Client wants set up in Client’s MS365 Account. To the extent Client needs assistance in compiling this information, Professional Services can be retained on an hourly basis to assist with this task. Any such services for additional data migration shall be governed by a separate SOW.
  5. Issue MS365 user Account credential information to Client.
  6. Configure each Cloudnine Realtime user’s desktop profile in order to sync each user’s MS Outlook to the newly created MS365 Accounts.
  7. Where applicable and using best efforts, make the DNS cutover of e-mail from Client’s then current e-mail provider to Client’s MS365 Account. Cloudnine’s obligation to complete this task is contingent upon Client providing Cloudnine access to Client’s DNS provider portal.

Client acknowledges that for security reasons all of these tasks (with the exception of Task Nos. 3 and 7, which can be performed by Client or a third party upon Client executing a waiver of responsibility) must be performed by Cloudnine. Client further acknowledges that due to the numerous unknowns associated with completing these tasks, Cloudnine cannot guarantee that these tasks will be completed error free. Where Client wishes to migrate Client’s e-mail off of MS365, Cloudnine’ sole support obligation shall be to release the DNS domain from being associated with MS365. Cloudnine shall have this obligation only when Client’s Account with Cloudnine is current.

Where identified in a Service Order Form or Service Order Addendum, Client may purchase daily backups for Client’s MS365 mailbox, which shall be stored within an Azure blob and indexed within Cloudnine’ secondary data center, located within Client’s country and geographic region. Where Client has not purchased MS365 through a Service Order Form or Service Order Addendum, the set up or maintenance of Client’s e-mail service is outside the scope of Cloudnine’s obligations under these Terms and Conditions. Regardless of whether or not Client has purchased MS365, the migration of Client’s historical e-mail of any kind, as well as the configuration of e-mail access on non-Cloudnine Realtime devices (such as local workstations, smartphones and tablets) or converting Client’s e-mail service to something other than MS365 within Client’s C9 Environment (or otherwise) is outside the scope of Cloudnine’s obligations set forth in these Terms and Conditions.

Professional Services can be retained on an hourly basis to ensure that Client’s third­ party software applications and services are properly installed (including working with the third-party software manufacturer to determine appropriate resources), conditioned on Client providing Cloudnine with the installation media, a valid license permitting the software to be install ed and operated in either Windows Server 2012 r2 running Microsoft Remote Desktop Services or Windows Server 2016 running Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (depending upon which server type Client’s C9 Environment has been deployed with), and sufficient documentary proof that Client is legally authorized to use this license. Where Client requests Cloudnine to perform any installation (including but not limited to patches or updates) related to any third-party software application, Client authorizes Cloudnine to click to accept the third-party software vendor’s applicable terms and conditions on behalf of Client. Client acknowledges that Cloudnine may be required (as mandated by certain third-party vendors) to charge Client a fee in order to install and use third-party software within Client’s C9 Environment. Client hereby authorizes Cloudnine to add such fees to Client’s Monthly Recurring Charge, and further acknowledges that such fees may be subject to change. Client acknowledges that certain third-party software or applications may require additional resources to function within Client’s C9 Environment, which must be added to Client’s Cloudnine Realtime Subscription (at an additional charge to Client) prior to the application or software being installed in Client’s C9 Environment. The need for additional resources is based upon several factors including but not limited to software manufacturer system requirements, software usage forecasting, existing C9 platform usage patterns and general IT best practices/recommendations. Where such software manufacturer system requirements or licensing limits the installation or use of the particular software to Windows Server 2012 R2 and Client’s C9 Environment has been deployed with Windows Server 2016, Client will be assessed an additional fee to redeploy Client’s C9 Environment with Windows Server 2012 R2. Any such Professional Services performed by Cloudnine related to third­ party applications or services, shall be governed by a separate SOW. If under any circumstances Client directly or indirectly provides Cloudnine with the installation media for a third-party software product or service to be installed or used within Client’s C9 Environment, Client hereby warrants that Client has the appropriate license(s) to install and/or use that third-party software product or service in Client’s C9 Environment for all intended users. Cloudnine cannot guarantee that Client’s third-party software or services will properly function in Client’s C9 Environment. All issues with the functionality of the third-party software or services should be directed to the particular software or service provider. Cloudnine reserves the right to prevent the of any third-party software or services on Client’s C9 Environment that Cloudnine at its sole discretion deems may compromise the health or security of Client’s C9 Environment or Cloudnine’ infrastructure, or that Cloudnine suspects is or assists in the violation of any law.

By requesting to host Quickbooks or other Intuit products, Client grants Cloudnine the authority to: (1) Accept on Client and its users’ behalf all End User License Agreements; and (2) register the license for Client and each user directly with Intuit. Client acknowledges that Clients use of QuickBooks within Client’s C9 Environment is subject to lntuit’s discontinuation policies. Client acknowledges that Client may be responsible for paying an additional fee not set forth in a Service Order Form or Addendum for the right to host QuickBooks in Client’s C9 Environment, and hereby authorizes Cloudnine to add such charge to Client’s Monthly Recurring Charge, in the event such charges become applicable.

20. Customer Service- Technical support and troubleshooting for reported issues that are directly related to Client’s Cloudnine Realtime Subscription will be provided as part of Clients Cloudnine Realtime Subscription, as provided in this paragraph. Cloudnine shall not be obligated to provide technical support or to cure issues regarding thirdparty applications, customizations, integrations with third-party applications, internet or local network connectivity, Client’s local infrastructure or workstations, or issues caused by Client’s users, agents, or other technology providers. Included with Client’s Cloudnine Realtime Subscription is access to Cloudnine’s standard technical support, during Technical Support business hours for Cloudnine Realtime, located within the FAQ section of the Cloudnine Realtime Knowledge Base found at https://support.Cloudnine.com/hc/en-us. Client must first initiate its support request using the Cloudnine Customer Portal, by creating a support ticket or using the live chat feature included on the Cloudnine the AbacusNext Customer Portal. Cloudnine’ obligation to provide Client with customer service or support is contingent upon Client timely paying that month’s MRC and keeping the account current. For non-business hours, Cloudnine will use its best efforts to maintain a Mean Time to Respond (“MTTR”) of 1 hour for “Urgent” issues and next business day for “Non-Urgent” issues. An issue shall be deemed “Urgent” if Client cannot connect to Client’s C9 Environment, data stored in Client’s C9 Environment, and/or Client’s e-mail in MS365 where Client purchased MS365 through a Service Order or Service Order Addendum. All other issues shall be deemed “NonUrgent.” Depending on the nature of the reported technical issue, Cloudnine may initiate further troubleshooting efforts, which may include support via the live chat feature, responding via e-mail to a support ticket created by Client, or in certain cases providing direct phone support and/or remote screen-sharing, including Cloudnine taking screen grabs of Client’s Users’ screens; any support response or combination thereof shall be provided in Cloudnine’s sole discretion. If Cloudnine determines that the reported issue is caused by an error with Cloudnine’ infrastructure or in Client’s C9 Environment (hereinafter referred to as “System Related Error”) and not caused by the Client, its computer(s), printer(s), scanners, other hardware, network, server(s), connectivity or third-party software or services (hereinafter referred to as “User Error”), then Cloudnine will make its best efforts to correct the problem at no charge to Client. Reported errors that cannot be observed or replicated by Cloudnine cannot by definition be a System Related Error. If the issue is caused by User Error, Client can purchase Professional Services hours to assist wither further training and/or correcting the problem with Client’s computer(s), network, server(s), connectivity or third-party software or services. All such Professional Services shall be governed by a separate SOW. In order to facilitate a consultative sales process for Cloudnine Realtime, and to allow Cloudnine to make recommendations to Client about which products and services to purchase, Cloudnine may employ network diagnostic tools and questionnaires to learn about and analyze Client’s workflow, business systems, applications, and connectivity.

Client expressly acknowledges that any issue arising out of Cloudnine’ inability to gather information or make recommendations about products and services shall not constitute a System Related Error, or otherwise provide a basis to cancel or void Client’s C9 Subscription.

21. Advanced Support Offerings – Cloudnine may offer, and Client may purchase Advanced Support Offerings to enhance Client’s Cloudnine Realtime Subscription experience. Where purchased, such offerings shall be described in a separate Order Form.

22. Service Level Agreement (SLA)-Cloudnine will use commercially reasonable efforts to make Client’s C9 Environment “available” to Client 99.9% of the time (calculated monthly) outside of scheduled maintenance, emergency maintenance, the rebooting of Client’s C9 Environment after adding or reducing resources (including but not limited to RAM, System Storage, Document Storage or CPU), connectivity issues caused by User Error, or the suspension of Client’s Abacus Private Cloud Subscription. In this context, “available” shall mean that Client’s C9 Environment is accessible from an C9 Compatible Device (as defined below) via Remote Desktop with a Reliable Connection (as defined below).

In the event that Client believes that Cloudnine has failed to meet the Service Commitment in a particular month, Client will be eligible to receive a Service Credit only if Client requests a Service Credit via email to billing@abacusnext.com within 7 days of the end of such month and it is determined by Cloudnine that Cloudnine failed to meet the Service Commitment for that month. Where Client is eligible for a Service Credit, the Client will be credited an amount equal to four hours worth of MRC, multiplied by each hour (or portion thereof round to the next hour) Cloudnine failed to meet the Service Commitment in that month. The calculation used to determine the credit will be MRC/720*outage hours*4. However, at no point will Client be entitled to a Service Credit that exceeds the amount of MRC for Client’s Abacus Private Cloud Subscription for that month. Any Service Credit will be applied to any invoice of Client within two billing cycles after Cloudnine’ receipt of the applicable request for Service Credit. Service Credits are exclusive of any applicable taxes charged to Client or collected by Cloudnine. A SERVICE CREDIT IS CLIENT’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR A BREACH OF THE SERVICE COMMITMENT.

Client acknowledges that it shall not receive any credits under this SLA if the failure or deficiency is caused by a suspension or termination of Client’s Abacus Private Cloud Subscription pursuant to the Suspension and Termination paragraphs set forth below, caused by Client, Client’s equipment, software or other technology, or caused by factors outside of Cloudnine’ reasonable control, including but not limited to any force majeure event, Internet access or related problems beyond the demarcation point of Cloudnine’ Internet Protocol routing infrastructure.

23. Scheduled Maintenance- Every Friday at 11:00PM through Saturday 3:00AM and every Saturday at 11:00PM through Sunday 3:00AM (in the time zone of the primary data center in which Client’s C9 Environment is hosted), Cloudnine provides weekly maintenance “windows” for routine and ongoing maintenance to include but not limited to: infrastructure improvements or changes, Microsoft published updates (when available) to Client’s Microsoft Windows server and Microsoft Office platform (if applicable). For all other scheduled maintenance, Cloudnine shall provide Client withe­ mail notification of when the maintenance shall take place. Client acknowledges that during any scheduled maintenance, Client’s C9 Environment may be unavailable, and thus this time shall not be considered in calculating whether Client’s C9 Environment is “available” per the SLA (see the paragraph titled Service Level Agreement).

24. Client’s Data- Client will retain ownership of all data Client transfers to and stores on Client’s C9 Environment. Client reserves all right, title and interest (including all intellectual property and proprietary rights) to Client’s content and data. Cloudnine acknowledges that Client’s data stored in Client’s C9 Environment contains confidential information. Cloudnine will only access Client’s data when necessary to fulfill an obligation related to Client’s Cloudnine Realtime Subscription. Cloudnine further warrants that it will take all reasonable efforts to maintain the confidential nature of Client’s data and unless required by law will not knowingly disclose the data or its contents to third parties without the Client’s express written consent. Cloudnine will provide Client notice of any unauthorized third-party access to Client’s data of which Cloudnine becomes aware and will use reasonable efforts to remediate identified security vulnerabilities. To the extent there is any unauthorized third-party access to Client’s data, it shall be Client’s sole responsibility and expense to notify any individual whose Personal Identifiable Information or other confidential information related to that individual was accessed by an unauthorized third party. To the extent Client provides Cloudnine with data for the purposes of migrating that data to Client’s C9 Environment, Client herby confirms that it has the legal right to have that data migrated to it C9 Environment. Client further acknowledges that if a dispute arises over whether Client has the legal right to possess or control the data prior to Cloudnine performing the migration, Cloudnine will not migrate the data to Client’s C9 Environment absent written authorization from the party originally disputing Client’s right to the data or a court order. Client will have 30 days as of the date of cancellation or termination of its Cloudnine Realtime Subscription to obtain (at Client’s sole cost and expense) all of Client’s data from Client’s C9 Environment, after which time Client’s data will be deleted from Cloudnine’ servers permanently.

Cloudnine Professional Services may be retained on an hourly fee basis to assist Client with the migration of its data from Client’s C9 Environment. If purchased, such services, will be governed by a separate SOW.

25. C9 Compatible Devices- Successful use of Client’s C9 Environment requires a device (PC, MAC, tablet or smartphone) using an operating system currently being supported by Microsoft, Apple or Android, running the latest version of Remote Desktop, and is malware and spyware free. As used herein, such a device shall be referred to as an “C9 Compatible Device.” It is outside Cloudnine’ obligations set forth in these Terms and Conditions to supply Client with any C9 Compatible Devices. Where Two Factor Authentication (see Section 29) is activated, each User will need a Registered Phone to facilitate a User logging in to Client’s C9 Environment. It is outside Cloudnine’ obligations set forth in these Terms and Conditions to supply a user with a smartphone capable of supporting Two Factor Authentication.

26. Reliable Connection- Successful use of Client’s C9 Environment requires a properly routed internet connection that can reliably sustain a sub 100 millisecond (ms) response time between the network that Client’s C9 Compatible Device is connected to and Client’s C9 Environment. Where more than one of Client’s Cloudnine Realtime users are trying to connect to Client’s C9 Environment through the same internet connection concurrently, there must be a minimum of 1Mbps/1Mbps dedicated to each one of those users. As used herein, the above stated connectivity requirement shall be referred to as a “Reliable Connection,” and it shall be Client’s sole responsibility to obtain a Reliable Connection. Cloudnine works with multiple upstream providers to ensure that Client has multiple paths through which an internet connection may be routed to Client’s C9 Environment. Cloudnine cannot control how Client’s Internet Service Provider(s) routes its internet traffic. As such, In the event of latency in Client’s internet connection to Client’s C9 Environment, it shall be Client’s sole responsibility to ensure that Client’s Internet Service Provider(s) adequately routes Client’s internet connection. The fact that Client is unable to resolve the latency in Client’s internet connection to Client’s C9 Environment shall not constitute “for cause” for purposes of terminating Client’s Cloudnine Realtime Subscription. It is further recommended that that Client have multiple upstream internet service providers to avoid performance issues caused by a single point of failure. For security reasons, Cloudnine utilizes gee-blocking technology to selectively block access to Client’s C9 Environment from network locations outside of North America. Should Client or Client’s end users need to access Client’s C9 Environment from outside of North America, to avoid delays, it is Client’s responsibility to notify C9 Support at least 48 hours before such access would be required to facilitate access when traveling abroad.

27. Local Area Network- The Local Area Network (LAN) within Client’s office or other locations from which Client may try to access Client’s C9 Environment affects the quality and speed of its Cloudnine Realtime service. The quality and configuration of switches, routers, firewalls, network cabling and computers all have an effect on performance. Optimizing Client’s LAN is not part of Cloudnine’ obligations pursuant to these Terms and Conditions. Professional Services can be retained on an hourly basis to assist with assessing and optimizing Client’s LAN. If purchased, such services, will be governed by a separate SOW.

28. Printing and Scanning- Although most printers and scanners are compatible with Client’s C9 Environment, Cloudnine cannot guarantee that Client’s printers and scanners will work in Client’s C9 Environment. Cloudnine recommends that Client use TWAIN compliant scanners and cloud ready printers and scanners. Cloudnine discourages the use of non-networked printers and scanners for use in Client’s C9 Environment. In some instances, Client may need third party software for the printers and/or scanners to fully function properly across the remote desktop connection, which can be purchased at Client’s sole expense and there are no guarantees that such software will work. Cloudnine cannot guarantee that all functions (including paper bin selection) will be fully functional. Cloudnine Professional Services may be retained on an hourly fee basis to assist Client with issues they are having with its printer(s) and scanner(s) the from Client’s C9 Environment. If purchased, such services, will be governed by a separate sow.

29. Two Factor Authentication- In any Service Order Form and/or Service Order Addendum (if any) affirmatively accepted by Client and herein, “Two Factor Authentication” refers to a security measure that requires an Cloudnine User to confirm an attempted log in to Client’s C9 Environment by responding to a message sent to an authentication application (“Authentication App”) provided by Cloudnine and installed on the Cloudnine User’s smartphone (“Registered Phone”), which must have a locking mechanism enabled to function. When Two Factor Authentication has been activated, Client acknowledges that for security reasons, in the event that an Cloudnine User replaces his/her Registered Phone, changes his/or her phone number associated with his/her Registered Phone, or otherwise cannot use his/her Registered Phone, that Cloudnine User will not be able to access Client’s C9 Environment unless Cloudnine receives written confirmation from the Client’s designed Principal Point of Contact that the particular Cloudnine User has obtained a new phone and/or phone number and the Authentication App is subsequently installed on the new phone (or reinstalled in the instance where the Cloudnine User has only changed his/her phone number associated with his/her Registered Phone).

30. Email Encryption- In any Service Order Form and/or Service Order Addendum (if any) affirmatively accepted by Client and herein, “Email Encryption” means a non­ transferable license to use Microsoft Email Encryption product only during the term set forth in the Service Order and/or Service Order Addendum, and within Client’s C9 Environment (contingent upon Client timely paying its MRC), and is otherwise governed by all terms and policies set forth by Microsoft. For further information on these terms, contact Microsoft directly. CLOUDNINE DOES NOT WARRANT THE PERFORMANCE OR FUNCTIONALITY OF MICROSOFT’S EMAIL ENCRYPTION PRODUCT. If purchased, this MS365 license will be deemed part of Client’s Cloudnine Subscription. Thus, any suspension or termination of Client’s Cloudnine Subscription will also result in a corresponding suspension or termination of the E-mail Encryption license.

31. Sophos Endpoint Antivirus & Malware Protection- In any Service Order Form and/or Service Order Addendum (if any) affirmatively accepted by Client and herein, “Sophos Endpoint Antivirus & Malware Protection” means a non-transferable license to deploy Sophos Endpoint Antivirus & Malware Protection product on Client’s work stations only during the term set forth in the Service Order and/or Service Order Addendum (contingent upon Client timely paying its MRC), and is otherwise governed by all terms and policies set forth by Sophos. For further information on these terms, contact Sophos directly. CLOUDNINE DOES NOT WARRANT THE PERFORMANCE OR FUNCTIONALITY OF SOPHOS ENDPOINT ANTIVIRUS & MALWARE PROTECTION. If purchased, this Sophos Endpoint Antivirus & Malware Protection license will be deemed part of Client’s Cloudnine Subscription. Thus, any suspension or termination of Client’s Cloudnine Subscription will also result in a corresponding suspension or termination of the Sophos Endpoint Antivirus & Malware Protection license.

32. VPN- In any Service Order Form and/or Service Order Addendum (if any) affirmatively accepted by Client and herein, means a “non-transferable license to use a special configured Virtual Core Network Appliance (which shall be deployed at Client’s business location) that will create a secure AES 256 bit encryption “tunnel” via the internet into Client’s business network. Client hereby acknowledges that it will be responsible for the cost of the Virtual Core Network Appliance in the event the appliance is lost, stolen or otherwise damaged, and that the appliance must be returned upon cancellation or termination of Client’s Cloudnine Subscription Client or the VPN component of the Cloudnine Subscription. Client further acknowledges that it is Client’s responsibility to supply (at Client’s own expense) an IT professional to install and configure the Appliance to Cloudnine’ specifications (which may include making modifications to Client’s local network).

33. TS Scan- In any Service Order Form and/or Service Order Addendum (if any) affirmatively accepted by Client and herein, “TS Scan” refers to a scanning solution produced by TerminalWorks that can enable Client’s to use scanners attached to a local workstation to scan to Client’s C9 Environment in certain instances where Client is not otherwise able to scan directly to Client’s C9 Environment. The fee paid for TS Scan is a one-time fee, however, if Client has previously purchased TS Scan and needs to add users, bringing the total of users into a higher tier than originally purchased, additional fees will apply. CLOUDNINE DOES NOT WARRANT THE PERFORMANCE OR FUNCTIONALITY OF TS SCAN.

34. TS Print- In any Service Order Form and/or Service Order Addendum (if any) affirmatively accepted by Client and herein, “TS Print” refers to a printing solution produced by TerminalWorks that enables Client’s to use printers attached to a local workstation to print from Client’s C9 Environment in certain instances where Client is not otherwise able to print directly from Client’s C9 Environment. The fee paid for TS Print is a one-time fee, however, if Client has previously purchased TS Print and needs to add users, bringing the total of users into a higher tier than originally purchased, additional fees will apply. CLOUDNINE DOES NOT WARRANT THE PERFORMANCE OR FUNCTIONALITY OF TS PRINT.

35. Service Suspension- Cloudnine may, at its own discretion, suspend Client’s Cloudnine Subscription if Client’s Account is 15 days past due. During any suspension, Client will not have access to Client’s C9 Environment. Once suspended, if Client wishes to reinstate Client’s Cloudnine Subscription, Client must make its Account current and pay a re-activation fee of $250.

36. Termination- Client may not terminate its Cloudnine Subscription for any reason other than a material breach of these Terms which remains uncured for thirty (30) days from Cloudnine’ receipt of Notice of the alleged breach (the “Cure Period”). In order for a Notice of material breach to be deemed sufficient, Client must identify the specific contractual obligation that was breached by Cloudnine, provide particular facts to support the allegation of breach, and must cooperate with and provide access to Cloudnine in order for Cloudnine to observe, replicate, and troubleshoot the reported issue throughout the Cure Period. If after giving the requisite notice of an alleged material breach, Client refuses to allow Cloudnine to access Client’s C9 Environment or data to evaluate the nature of the alleged breach or otherwise fails to cooperate with Cloudnine’ efforts to cure the alleged breach, Cloudnine shall be relieved of any obligation to cure the alleged breach, and will eliminate Client’s ability to terminate Client’s Cloudnine Subscription for cause (with respect to that alleged breach). For termination of Client’s Cloudnine Subscription (or any part thereof) for any reason other than for cause, Client shall pay the Early Termination Fee, which shall be equal to any remaining unpaid portion of the Payment. Cloudnine may terminate Client’s Cloudnine Subscription for any reason by providing thirty (30) days’ Notice of termination. In the event of Termination by Cloudnine under this section, Cloudnine shall refund any unused portion of fees pre-paid by Client for Client’s Cloudnine Subscription.

37. Non-Solicitation of Cloudnine’ Employees- During the term of Client’s Cloudnine Subscription, and for 12 months thereafter, Client agrees that it will not directly or indirectly recruit, solicit or otherwise induce or attempt to induce any employee of Cloudnine that had direct contact with Client while that employee was acting in the course and scope of the employee’s duties with Cloudnine to terminate his or her employment with Cloudnine. Client acknowledges that if it breached this paragraph and the relevant employee left his or her employment with Cloudnine, it would be difficult to determine actual damages. Based on what the Parties presently know, they agree that an amount equal to 100% of the relevant employee’s Cloudnine annual salary is a reasonable estimate of the damages that would accrue if a breach of this provision occurred in the future and the relevant employee terminated his or her employment with Cloudnine as a result. Client agrees that the amount of liquidated damages is fair and reasonable and would not act as a penalty in such an instance.

38. Acceptable Use- Within Client’s C9 Environment, Client is specifically prohibited from doing the following: using Client’s C9 Environment for an unlawful purpose; violating any local, state, national, foreign, or international statute, regulation, rule, order, treaty or other law; transmitting, distributing, retrieving or storing of data or other material in violation of any applicable law or regulation; advertising, transmitting, storing, posting, displaying, or otherwise making available child pornography or obscene speech or material (outside the lawful school of Client’s duties as an attorney to represent a client); transmitting or posting defamatory, harassing, or threatening language; engaging in activities that Cloudnine determines in its sole discretion to be harmful to Cloudnine’ infrastructure, customers, reputation or customer relations; and, engaging in activities designed to assist an Cloudnine competitor learn about Cloudnine’ operations and practices. Cloudnine may at its sole discretion suspend or terminate Client’s Cloudnine Subscription if Client violates any aspect of this paragraph. By agreeing to Cloudnine’ Acceptable Use Policy, Client also agrees that Cloudnine shall maintain the right to audit Client’s use of the products and services included in Client’s C9 Subscription. Client warrants that it will maintain a unique user license for each distinct individual or device accessing Client’s C9 Environment. Client acknowledges and agrees that any improperly licensed or unlicensed use of Client’s C9 Environment, or of any services, applications or utilities deployed therein, should result in Cloudnine retroactively assessing the associated Monthly Recurring Charge, at Cloudnine’ then current rates, plus any applicable fees, for any products or services included within Client’s C9 Subscription, backdated to the earliest known violation, or the beginning of the Term of Client’s C9 Subscription, whichever is earlier.

39. Relation of Parties- The performance by Cloudnine of its duties and obligations under the Terms and Conditions will be that of a service provider, and nothing herein will create or imply an agency relationship between Cloudnine and Client, nor will the Terms and Conditions be deemed to create a partnership or joint venture between Cloudnine and Client.

40. Publicity – Cloudnine may disclose Client as a customer of Cloudnine and may use Client’s company’s name and logo on the Cloudnine’ websites and in Cloudnine’ promotional content in accordance with Client’s brand guidelines or related documentation if provided by Client. Cloudnine will be granted a revocable, non­ exclusive, non-sub-licensable, non-transferable, royalty-free right and license (the “Trademark License”) to use, display and reproduce such party’s name, logo, trademarks and service marks (the “Trademarks”). Cloudnine acknowledges that Client’s Trademark is and will remain the exclusive property of Client. Client may opt out of this provision by emailing terms@getcaret.com.

41. Warranty- Client acknowledges that no computer system or software can be made completely stable or secure, and that Cloudnine cannot guarantee the stability, safety or security of Client’s data. Cloudnine warrants that Client’s C9 Environment will be maintained in a professional manner, and in conformity with generally prevailing best practices and industry standards.

THIS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND ANY ORAL OR WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS, PROPOSALS OR STATEMENTS MADE ON OR PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF ANY AGREEMENT BETWEEN CLIENT AND CLOUDNINE.

CLOUDNINE DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION THAT CLIENT’S USE OF CLOUDNINE WILL COMPLY WITH ANY LEGAL REQUIREMENTS IN A PARTICULAR JURISDICTION. CLIENT IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING WHETHER THE USE OF CLOUDNINE IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS AND REGULATIONS OF ANY JURISDICTION TO WHICH CLIENT MAY BE SUBJECT.

42. Limitation of Liability- NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS

PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF GOOD WILL, DAMAGE TO BUSINESS REPUTATION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, WORK STOPPAGE, LOSS OF DATA, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR OTHER SUCH PECUNIARY LOSS), WHETHER UNDER A THEORY OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF THE OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL CLOUDNINE’ TOTAL AGGREGATE AND CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO CLIENT FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OF ANY KIND ARISING AS A RESULT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES COVERED BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, OR TO ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF CLOUDNINE, EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF SUBSCRIPTION FEES ACTUALLY PAID (IF ANY) BY CLIENT FOR THE SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE SIX MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM. WHERE CLIENT HAS PAID THE TOTAL CONTRACTUAL VALUE UPFRONT, CLOUDNINE’ TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE EQUIVALENT OF SIX-MONTHLY RECURRING CHARGES (MR(). WHERE CLIENT PAYS AN ANNUAL RECURRING CHARGE, CLOUDNINE’ TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE EQUIVALENT OF SIX MONTHLY RECURRING CHARGES (MR(). LIKEWISE, EXCEPT AS ADDRESSED IN THE PARAGRAPH TITLED “TERMINATION”, CLIENT’S TOTAL AGGREGATE AND CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO CLOUDNINE FOR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES COVERED BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE EARLY TERMINATION FEE (AS DEFINED IN THE PARAGRAPH TITLED “TERMINATION”). THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS PROVISION IS TO LIMIT THE POTENTIAL LIABILITY OF THE PARTIES ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS PARAGRAPH ARE INTEGRAL TO THE AMOUNT OF FEES CHARGED IN CONNECTION WITH MAKING THE SERVICE AVAILABLE TO CLIENT AND THAT, WERE CLOUDNINE TO ASSUME ANY FURTHER LIABILITY OTHER THAN SET FORTH HEREIN, SUCH FEES WOULD OF NECESSITY BE SET SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY APPLIES EQUALLY TO CLAIMS RELATED TO THIRD PARTY SERVICES OR SOFTWARE AND ITS OWNERS AND PROVIDERS.

43. Indemnification- Client shall fully indemnify, hold harmless and defend (collectively “indemnify” and “indemnification”) Cloudnine and its directors, officers, employees, agents, stock holders, subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Indemnified Parties) from and against all claims demands, actions, suits, damages, liabilities, losses, settlements, judgments, costs and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees and costs), whether or not involving a third party claim, which arises out of or relate to (1) any breach of any representation or warranty of Client contained in these Terms and Conditions, and (2) any breach or violation of any covenant or other obligation or duty of Client under these Terms and Conditions or under applicable law.

44. Assignment- Client shall not directly or indirectly assign, transfer, convey, pledge, encumber, or otherwise dispose of any rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of Cloudnine, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Any assignment made without Cloudnine’ consent is void and ineffective. Cloudnine can assign or transfer any rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of the Client. In the instance that such assignment occurs, Cloudnine will make reasonable efforts to give notice to Client of such transaction.

45. Transfer of Assets or Business- In the event that Cloudnine is involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization, dissolution or sale of assets, your information may be disclosed, sold or transferred as part of that transaction.

46. Severability- If any part or parts of these Terms and Conditions, or corresponding Service Orders and/or Service Order Addendum (if any) affirmatively accepted by Client for Cloudnine are held invalid by a court of competentjurisdiction, the remaining parts of these Terms and Conditions, or corresponding Service Orders and Service Order Addendum (if any) affirmatively accepted by Client for Cloudnine will continue to be valid and enforceable.

47. Waiver- The waiver by either party of a breach or default in any of the provisions of Terms and Conditions, or corresponding Service Orders and Service Order Addendum (if any) affirmatively accepted by Client for Cloudnine shall not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or other provisions; nor shall any delay or omission on the part of either party to exercise or avail itself of any right, power or privilege that is has or may have hereunder operate as a waiver of any breach or default by the other party.

48. Integration- These Terms and Conditions and the corresponding Service Orders and Service Order Addendum (if any) affirmatively accepted by Client for Cloudnine Realtime (which are incorporated by reference) set forth the entire agreement relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, discussions and understandings between them, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

49. Notices- All notices to Client under these Terms and Conditions will be deemed given when delivered via e-mail to the address set forth in the Service Order. All notices to Cloudnine under these Terms and Conditions will be deemed given when delivered via e-mail to notice@getCARET.com.

50. Governing Law- These Terms and Conditions and/or any corresponding Service Orders and Service Order Addendum (if any) affirmatively accepted by Client for a Cloudnine Realtime Subscription shall be construed under the laws of the State of California regardless of conflict of law provisions. Client and Cloudnine irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts in San Diego County, California for all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions, Service Orders and Service Order Addendum (if any) affirmatively accepted by Client for Cloudnine services and/or Client’s Cloudnine Realtime Subscription, or the services contemplated therein. Neither party will bring a legal action arising out of or related to these Terms and Conditions, any corresponding Service Orders and Service Order Addendum (if any) affirmatively accepted by Client for Cloudnine Realtime and/or Client’s Cloudnine Realtime Subscription or the services contemplated therein more than two years after the cause of action arose. Client and Cloudnine further agree that as a condition precedent to instituting any legal action, the parties must participate in a non-binding mediation in San Diego, California before a neutral from JAMS, with the parties equally splitting the costs of that mediation. If the parties cannot agree on a JAMS neutral, the neutral shall be selected by JAMS at its sole discretion. The mediation process shall be initiated by the aggrieved party submitting the case for mediation to JAMS directly, after providing the other party with notice of its intent to institute mediation.

WHERE PERMITTED UNDER THE APPLICABLE LAW, CLIENT AND CLOUDNINE AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. NO ARBITER OR JUDGE MAY CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS UNDER THIS EULA AGAINST EITHER PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF BOTH PARTIES.

51. Prevailing Party- In the event of any litigation arising out of or related to these Terms and Conditions, any corresponding Service Orders and Service Order Addendum (if any) affirmatively accepted by Client for Cloudnine Realtime and/or Client’s Cloudnine Realtime Subscription, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non­ prevailing party all costs and expenses associated with such proceedings, including reasonable attorney’s fees. For purposes of this provision, if a matter is filed in any venue other than the state or federal courts in San Diego County, California and the matter is dismissed for improper venue, the party that did not file the action shall be deemed the prevailing party in that action.

52. Updates to Terms and Conditions- Cloudnine reserves the right to routinely update, amend or change the Terms and Conditions of Services. At least 30 days prior to the effective date, Cloudnine will notify client by e-mail of such changes, and a new Terms and Conditions document will be posted at https://www.cloudninerealtime.com/terms-and-conditions/. Client’s continued use of Client’s C9 Environment after the 30th day will serve as consent to the changed terms.

53. Acceptance of Microsoft Customer Agreement- By signing a Service Order Form or Service Order Addendum for an C9 Subscription, and as a condition of Client’s license to use its C9 Environment and any Microsoft components included therein, Client must review and accept the Microsoft Customer Agreement found at https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/docs/customeragreement (the version that is applicable to Client is herein incorporated by reference). In order for Cloudnine to satisfy its reporting requirements to Microsoft, as a Cloud Solution Provider (CSP), Client authorizes Cloudnine to provide information to Microsoft. This information includes the following personal information about the authorized representative who signed the Service Order Form or Service Order Addendum, and thereby accepted the Microsoft Customer Agreement on Client’s behalf: name, e-mail address, and phone number.
