1. INTRODUCTION

1.1.

In this Terms of Service EVERWORKS Solutions (M) SDN BHD is referred to as EVERWORKS™, we, us, or our. Our customer is referred to as Customer, you, or your. If Customer incorporates our Services into its own products and/or services, that customer is referred to as “End User”.

 

1.2.
To become a Customer, you submit an Order Form to us. The products, services and other items you ask us to supply to you are referred to in this Terms of Service as the “Services.” Each Order Form submitted by you shall be deemed to be an offer by you to buy the Services from EVERWORKS™ subject to this contract. No Order Form shall be deemed to be accepted by EVERWORKS™ until we provision the Services. The date on which we provide notice to you that the Services are provisioned is the Effective Date. The initial Term of the Services is set out on your Order Form. The Term will renew for periods of equal length on each anniversary unless terminated as set out in paragraph 6. Any other provisions imposed by you on your own order forms, or otherwise, are expressly excluded. EVERWORKS™ may alter this Terms of Service at any time without notification to you. However, the current Terms of Service is always available on EVERWORKS™ website. When you complete the Order Form, you are required to provide us with information about you (Customer Information). We will rely on this Customer Information. It is your obligation to provide us with correct, understandable and updated Customer Information. If you fail to do so, you will be in material breach of this Terms of Service. The entity listed in the field “Company Name” on the Order Form is considered by us to be our Customer and the owner of all information, equipment and other items associated with the account and Services we provide.

 

1.3.

Configuration and support

 

2.2.1.
The Services and/or Equipment are configured by us for a typical user. They may have default or factory settings that are less than optimal for your, or an End User’s, needs. It is your obligation to determine whether these settings are appropriate, or secure. We have no liability to you or an End User for damages based on these settings. From time to time, these settings may be modified by us to optimize network performance. We are not responsible to you for any resulting damage.

 

2.2.2.
We are not obligated to modify the Equipment to accommodate your use. You may not terminate this contract based on your inability to use the Services because such a use is incompatible with them. If your use of the Services damages our Equipment, you will be charged for any repairs we need to make to the Equipment at our standard hourly consulting rate applicable at the time of the repair, plus the costs of parts, if any.

 

2.3.

Service modifications

 

2.3.1.
Third Parties may have reserved the right to make changes to their services. We will use reasonable efforts to determine whether these changes will alter our Services, and work with the Third Parties to mitigate this change. However, we have no liability for these changes and you may not terminate this contract even if these changes are material changes.

 

2.3.2.
We will use reasonable efforts to ensure that the Services set out on your Order Form are available during the Term. However in certain circumstances we may be unable to continue to provide the Services to you. We will not be in breach of this contract if we are unable to provide the Services to you (i) because a Third Party stops making key aspects of the Services available to us; (ii) a law, regulation or order prohibits us from providing the Services; (iii) circumstances beyond our reasonable control make it cost prohibitive for us to continue to provide the Services to you; (iv) an “alpha” or “beta” period ends; (v) a trial period ends; or (vi) at any time within the Termination notice period prior to a Renewal Term.

 

2.4.

Server and Bandwidth Usage

Your use of our Equipment and Services must be reasonable. This use may not consume so much of our network, and if you purchase shared hosting, processing, resources so as to limit the use of those resources by other customers. You may not attempt to circumvent any restrictions we place on your use of our network. If we determine that your use falls within the descriptions set out in this paragraph, we have the right to limit your use of our resources while we determine a more suitable set of resources for you. Once we propose these resources to you, you may either accept or reject them within 5 business days. If you reject them, you agree to change your use of the Services so that your use is reasonable; if you fail to do so, and continue to use an excessive amount of resources, your service may be terminated without notice.

 

2.5.

Back-up

 

2.5.1.
If set out on your Order Form, we will provide back-up Services to you (Back-Up Services). Back-Up Services are secondary to your own back-up and disaster recovery efforts. You understand and agree that our BackUp Services (i) only capture data that is available to them at the time the Back-Up Services run; (ii) do not run constantly, and may miss new data; (iii) cannot capture some data; (iv) only back-up partial data (up to your maximum purchased back-up storage space); and (v) are not failsafe. Data from the Back-Up Services is provided in raw form. You may be required to reformat or otherwise reconfigure the data for your use. We do not provide this reformatting or reconfiguration as part of the Back-Up Service. The Back-Up Service is not designed for litigation purposes. We have no responsibility to hold data in the Back-Up Services pursuant to “litigation hold” letters or other documents. We will charge you for these activities.

 

2.5.2.
We may determine that certain file extensions are not suitable for back-up. It is your obligation to verify whether particular files will be backed up.

 

2.6.

Technical Support

If your request for technical support exceeds that of the included service level or of similarly situated customers, or is based on your lack of technical sophistication, we may charge you our standard hourly rate for support. We will inform you, and receive your consent, prior to charging you for technical support. If you request technical support, you agree that we may have full access to your equipment, account and any and all items accessible to us based on your request. While we will use reasonable efforts to provide technical support to you, all support is provided AS-IS and on a “best efforts basis,” and subject to the disclaimers of warranties and limitation of liability set out herein. We retain the right to refuse to provide technical support to you or terminate your account if your use of technical support exceeds that of similarly situated customers, if you refuse to pay for the support that you require, or if you are verbally or otherwise abusive to our employees or contractors.

 

2.7.

Third Party Software

The Services may include software provided by Third Parties. You may be required to agree to licenses provided by the Third Parties prior to your use of this software. The Equipment and/or Services may have installed software for which you are required to have a preexisting license, or to procure such a license. Your use of this software shows that you do in fact have such a license, and you (i) agree to provide us with evidence of that license on our, or a Third Party’s request; and (ii) indemnify us from any claims made against us based on that use.

 

2.8.

Cooperation

 

2.8.1.
We each agree that in order to carry out our respective obligations set out in this contract, that a level of cooperation and civility is required. While we have endeavored to set out specific instances in which cooperation is required, we each agree to work together to the extent reasonably possible.

 

2.8.2.
You agree that you have the knowledge and experience to use the Services and Equipment as well as to administer the Services so that they may be used.

 

2.8.3.
You are required to implement industry standard methods to maintain the security of the Services and Equipment. This includes, but is not limited to, only uploading data, software and other items that you have determined are free of security issues, setting secure passwords (not using dictionary words, username as password, or other weak, easily crack -able passwords) for all of your and your user login instances, and promptly patching any and all your software, including the operating system, when any new security patches are available. Your End Users have the same obligation, and you are responsible for their failure to do so.

 

2.8.4.
It is your obligation to report any security breaches in the Services and/or Equipment.

 

2.8.5.
No data transmission over the Internet is 100% guaranteed to be secure. Neither EVERWORKS™, nor Third Parties, are responsible for security of information transmitted over the Internet. The security of our network is maintained according to generally accepted industry standards. If we determine that your use of the Services and Equipment endangers the security of our network, or any of our other customers or third parties, you are required to cooperate with us in a security review. If we determine that your use of the Services or Equipment has in fact compromised the security of the items set out in this subparagraph, you will be charged for any security remediation. Your ability to use the Services may be suspended during this time.

3. TERM

The Term of this contract begins on the Effective Date. The Initial Term is set out on your Order Form. Upon expiration of the Initial Term, the Services renew for a period of equal length until terminated in writing (Renewal Term). A party must notify the other in writing of its intent to Terminate this contract no later than 30 days prior to the next Renewal Term. Any such termination or cancellation will be subject to the payment of any outstanding Fees. Fees for a Renewal Term will not change unless agreed upon by the parties. If you have prepaid the Fees, but cancel prior to the end of a Term, the Fees will be recalculated without the Special Promotion and/or term discount, on a month-to-month basis (using the month-to-month fees in place at the time of your service order, including any setup fees), and the resulting used services amount deducted from the amount you have pre-paid, to determine any refund due; in some cases this may result in an additional payment due from you to us.

4. FEES

4.1.
The billing cycle for the Services is set out on the Order Form. You are responsible for all Fees set out on the Order Form, or elsewhere in this contract (Fees). Non-recurring and domain name registration Fees are not refundable, nor are they subject to any satisfaction guarantee policy.

 

4.2.
We often offer special promotions (Special Promotions). These Special Promotions have specific terms. Generally they do not apply to current customers, nor do they apply to Renewal Terms. If you Terminate the Services to which a Special Promotion applied, the discount, or other benefit provided by the Special Promotion, will be removed and your account will be re-billed as if it had been set up without the Special Promotion. If this results in additional Fees you will be charged for those Fees.

5. PAYMENT

5.1.
If the Fees are not paid by the Due Date, your account will be considered delinquent and Services may be suspended. You are responsible for all amounts charged to us as a result of your delinquency, including, but not limited to collection charges and attorney’s fees. We may charge you late fees of 2% per month or the maximum amount allowed by law.
5.2.

Credit cards

 

5.2.1.
It is your responsibility to keep an accurate and valid credit card on file with us. We have no liability to you or any third party should your access to the Services and/or Equipment be disrupted by your failure to provide us with a valid credit card, or should the charges on your credit card be declined. You will be charged an additional RM15.00 each time your credit card is declined after the payment due date (there is no charge for declines prior to due date), and a RM300 reconnection fee should you request to have the Service reinstated following a declination and subsequent account closure/service suspension.

 

5.2.2.
If your credit card is declined, or you fail to pay the Fees by the due date, the Service will be suspended. This means that the Equipment will be disconnected from our network, and will have no access to the Internet. You must pay all past due Fees, and any other charges, before we will reconnect the Equipment. If the Services are suspended and the Equipment is disconnected, the Equipment will be recycled in 30 days, and at that time the data on the Equipment will not be recoverable.

 

5.3.
If you believe a Fee charged to you is not authorized by this contract, you agree to contact us in writing within 30 calendar days of the date when you were charged this Fee, but in no case subsequent to the Due Date (Fee Dispute). Your Fee Dispute must contain a detailed description of the grounds for your dispute (including a reference to the particular paragraph of this contract on which your claim is based), and be in sufficient detail for us to determine the basis and underlying causes for the Fee Dispute. We will then have 30 calendar days to review the Fee Dispute, and either accept or reject it. If we accept it, you will be credited the amount of the disputed Fee. If we reject it, we will provide you with a written explanation of the basis of our rejection. We will then each have 30 calendar days to resolve our dispute. You may only dispute individual Fees. You may not withhold payment on your entire account.

 

5.4.
Legal costs associated with indemnification will be billed to your credit card on file, or, if no credit card is on file or if charges are declined, you will remain responsible for all such legal costs, and any costs associated with collection. Non-payment of any such costs upon invoicing will result in your account being placed in a delinquent status and accordingly disconnected, as per paragraph 5.2.2 of this contract.

6. TERMINATION

6.1.

Termination for material breach Either party may terminate this contract, or a particular Service, for the other party’s material breach. The party claiming a material breach must provide written notice to the allegedly breaching party and 10 calendar days to cure. Any notice must contain sufficient information that would allow the allegedly breaching party to cure the material breach. The term “material breach” shall be determined from the perspective of a reasonable business person experienced in using dedicated web hosting products. Your termination of this contract, or a particular Service, is your sole and exclusive remedy for our material breach. The following activities shall be considered to be a material breach on your part entitling us to immediate termination of this contract without opportunity for you to cure:

 

i)
failure to pay Fees when due;
ii)
failure to cure your, or an End User’s, violation of this contract; or
iii)
failure to cooperate with our security requests, or engaging in any activity that endangers our network, network stability, or materially endangers our other customers. Either party may terminate this contract, or a particular Service, immediately if a material breach is incapable of cure.

 

6.2.

By You

You may terminate the Services through EVERWORKS™ helpdesk system at http://support.everworks.com. This is the recommended and fastest way to terminate the Services. We will send you an email verification of the Termination Request (Termination Verification). You must acknowledge the Termination Verification to terminate the Services. If you do not acknowledge the Termination Verification, or, you fail to use a Termination Request to terminate the Services, the Services will not be Terminated and Fees will still be charged. You must follow this procedure in order to terminate each Service. Once you provide us with the Termination Verification, it may take us up to 5 calendar days to process the Termination. Once the Termination is processed, the soonest possible day for your Services to be terminated is 30 days from the date of receiving and verifying your Termination Verification. You are responsible for any Fees that accrue during this period. And, as such, you are recommended to submit a Termination Request at least 35 days prior to your desired Termination Date.

 

6.2.1.

Should you have no access to your EVERWORKS™ helpdesk system at http://support.everworks.com, alternate acceptable methods of Terminating Service (Alternate Termination Request) include registered mail or fax to:

 
EVERWORKS Solutions (M) SDN BHD
A-1-9, A-2-9 & A-3-9 ENDAH PROMENANDE,
No.5, JALAN 3/149E, TAMAN SRI PETALING,
57000 KUALA LUMPUR.
Fax: +60 (3) 7806 5586

 
All mailed or faxed termination requests should include, at minimum, the full company and individual contact name and email address of the account holder, the customer ID number and the primary domain name, and the last five digits of the credit card on file, or if no credit card is on file, then the identifiable details of the last payment made (such as account number check or wire transfer sent from, exact amount, exact date sent). All such requests must be signed by the primary account holder. If any of this information is unavailable or can not be verified, further verification of the request may be required, or the request should be submitted via EVERWORKS™ helpdesk system at http://support.everworks.com. An Alternate Termination Request will not be processed until all the required information listed herein is provided and verified. The required thirty day termination notice period will begin effective the date the complete Alternate Termination Request is verified by us and confirmed by you (i.e. on the day when we have received your Termination Verification).

 

For account security purposes and to ensure the request is received and processed properly by our staff, we cannot accept termination requests received by any other means, including telephone or email. All such requests will be directed to our acceptable methods of Termination Request submission accordingly.

 

6.3.

By Us

 

6.3.1.
We may terminate a particular Order Form, or aspect of the Services, if a Third Party ceases to make components of them available to us, or if providing them to you becomes cost prohibitive as set out in Paragraph 2.3.2 or 30 days prior to the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term.

 

6.3.2.
On termination of the contract, EVERWORKS™ shall be entitled to immediately block the Services and to remove all data located on the Equipment.

 

6.3.3.
Following Termination the space used on the Equipment for the Services (or, if applicable, the Equipment itself), IP space and Back-Up Services (if any), are recycled. It is your obligation to ensure that you arrange to complete the transfer of anything you need from the Services and/or Equipment on the Termination day prior to 12:00 am in the time zone of the particular data center in which the Services are provided. We have no obligation to forward mail following Termination.

7. OWNERSHIP OF ACCOUNT

7.1.
The entity in the “Organization” field, or if none entered then the individual in the “Name” field, in our records is the owner of the account. Upon learning of an ownership dispute, we may lock the account and prohibit transfer of the account to another entity, and require judicial resolution of the ownership dispute.

 

7.2.
If you administer the account on behalf of another individual or entity, you agree that you will do so on a good faith basis. You agree to indemnify us against all losses and liabilities we sustain should you administer the account in ways that are adverse to an End User, the actual owner of the account, and such an activity results in a claim against us or a third party.

 

7.3.
The individual or entity paying for the Services may not be considered to be the owner of the account, unless also listed as the account owner in the account records (as per 7.1, above), for certain purposes, such as account Termination or Transfer of account ownership. The individual or entity paying for the Services, however, is considered the account owner, and is accordingly held responsible for the purposes of collections and revenue assurance.

8.2.

8.3.
You are solely responsible for obtaining all intellectual property rights in the intellectual property of others, including but not limited to clearances and/or other consents and authorizations necessary to use the names, marks or other materials which are used by you in, or transmitted via, the Services (Objects). On becoming aware of any dispute between you and any other individual or organization regarding the Objects, EVERWORKS™ reserves the right, at its sole discretion and without notice or liability to you, to cease any further use of such Objects including, without limitation, deleting or suspending them from its computer systems and/or to make appropriate representations or provide information to any relevant authority or interested party.

 

8.4.
From time to time you may contact us for technical support. The non-confidential information you provide us to secure technical support may be used by us to improve our products (Feedback Information). You agree that Feedback Information of a general nature shall be considered non-confidential and our property. You further agree to a no-charge assignment to us of all worldwide rights, title, and interest in copyrights and other intellectual property rights to the Feedback Information.

11. INDEMNITY

11.1.
We shall indemnify and hold you harmless from, and at our own expense agree to defend, or at our option to settle, any claim, suit or proceeding brought or threatened against you so far as it is based on a claim that the Service infringes any issued Malaysia patent or registered copyright. This indemnification provision is expressly limited to aspects of the Service which are fully owned by us. It does not extend to products or services provided by Third Parties even if incorporated into the Service. This paragraph will be conditioned on your promptly notifying us in writing of the claim and giving us full authority, information, and assistance for the defense and settlement of that claim. You shall have the right to participate in the defense of the claim at your expense. If such claim has occurred, or in our opinion is likely to occur, you agree to permit us, at our option and expense, either to: (i) procure for you the right to continue using the Service; (ii) replace an individual component of the Service with a product or service, regardless of manufacturer, performing the same or similar function as the infringing aspect of the Service, or modify the same so that it becomes non-infringing; or (iii) if neither of the foregoing alternatives is reasonably available, immediately terminate our obligations (and your rights) under this contract with regard to such Service and refund to you the price originally paid by you to us for the Service, or the Fee actually received by us from you for the 3 month period immediately preceding the occurrence of the event on which the indemnification claim is based. This shall be your only remedy, and our only obligation to you, should a third party allege that the Service infringes any issued Malaysia patent or registered copyright.

12.1.2.2.

EVERWORKS™ services may not be used to send UBE and UCE (a.k.a. spam).

Bulk Mailing Through EVERWORKS™

EVERWORKS™ mail servers are the only servers designed to send Bulk E-mail using the mailing list system that may be part of the subscriber’s account. Sending Bulk (or Broadcast) e-mail through or from any EVERWORKS™ owned server, that is not expressly designed to handle mailing lists, is strictly prohibited. This specifically includes but is not limited to EVERWORKS™ web servers running any operating system or combination of server software.

Usenet Spam

 

Cross-Posting

Cross-posting is posting a single Usenet message that is marked as appearing in multiple newsgroups.

 

Multi-Posting

Multi-posting is repeatedly posting identical or substantively similar messages. Multiposting is considered bad because each copy of a multi-posting must be separately distributed across Usenet, whereas a cross-posted message need only be transferred once (even though it appears in multiple newsgroups).

 

Briedbart Index

In order to quantify how bad a multi-posted or cross-posted message is, the Briedbart index is used.

If during any 45-day period, a series of substantively similar messages are posted, the first cross-posted to n1 groups, the second to n2 groups, the third to n3 groups, etc., the Briedbart index of that series of postings is calculated as the sum of the square roots of n1, n2, n3, etc.

 

Excessive Multi-Posting (EMP)

Any series of substantively similar postings with a Briedbart index greater than 20 constitutes Excessive Multi-Posting (EMP).

Fees for the Colocation Product accrue upon the earlier of (a) your use of the Colocation Product; (b) provision of the Colocation Product to your interface; or (c) your acceptance of the Colocation Product (each a “Service Commencement Date”). You are responsible for all Fees associated with transmissions from your Colocation Product, regardless of whether they originated from you. Invoicing for the Monthly Recurring Charge (MRC) will be monthly in advance for fixed and committed bandwidth. The MRC shall begin on the Service Commencement Date. Burstable bandwidth is an option on top of the purchased Colocation Product which can be subscribed from your Account Manager. The burstable portion of the service is billed on a usage basis in arrears (Burst Usage). Burst Usage shall be calculated as follows:

Bandwidth is measured (sampled) from the switch every 5 minutes. At the end of the day, the samples are sorted from highest to lowest, and the top 5% (which equal to approximately 72 minutes of a 1-day billing cycle) of data is thrown away. The next highest measurement becomes the “billable utilization” for the day – the 95th percentile amount. You will be billed the standard overage rates for any Mb/s (Megabits per second) in excess of your service included bandwidth amount daily.

 

3.2.
Statistics are available in your MRTG control panel at http://mrtg.everworks.net

 

3.3.
In the event of a Customer Equipment failure, the contracted bandwidth is still available and therefore continues to be chargeable as set out in this contract.

WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, MULTIPLE, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE) OR ON ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE GROUNDS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Indemnification.

Each party shall indemnify and hold the other harmless from, and at its own expense agrees to defend, or at its option to settle, any claim, suit or proceeding brought or threatened against the other party so far as it is based on a claim that a Good or Service supplied hereunder infringes any Malaysia patent, copyright, or registered trademark, or that a Required Consent has not been procured. This paragraph will be conditioned on the party seeking indemnification notifying the other party promptly in writing of the claim and giving the indemnitor full authority, information, and assistance for the defense and settlement thereof. The party seeking indemnification shall have the right to participate in the defense of the claim at their expense. If, in our case, such claim has occurred, or in is likely to occur, you agree to permit us, at our option and expense, either to: (a) procure for you the right to continue using the Good or Service; (b) replace with a product or service, regardless of manufacturer, performing the same or similar function as the infringing Good or Service, or modify the same so that it becomes non-infringing; or (c) if neither of the foregoing alternatives is reasonably available, immediately terminate our obligations (and your rights) under this Agreement with regard to such Good or Service.

Captions are used for reference purposes only and should be ignored in the interpretation of this Agreement.

 

12.7.
Neither party will be in default if its failure to perform any obligation hereunder, other than its obligation to pay the Fees, is caused by supervening conditions beyond that party’s reasonable control, including acts of God, civil commotion, interruptions of telecommunications providers, strikes, vandalism or “hacker” attacks, or governmental demands or requirements.
