| Performance.
GNAX agrees to provide and customer agrees
to purchase the services requested by customer
from the website, in email or in writing.
Customer may add services via any of the
3 methods and agrees to pay in advance for
them whether they be 1 time charges or recurring
monthly fees.
Changes. No changes to
this agreement shall be binding except those
in writing counter-executed by both parties.
Deviations in pricing shall be agreed to
in writing. Email confirmed by both parties
shall suffice.
Invoices, Payment. GNAX
will invoice Customer for Fees and Expenses
monthly; provided, however, that GNAX may
invoice Customer for Fees and Expenses associated
with Service(s) provided pursuant to a customer
request immediately upon GNAX's provision
of such Service(s). Customer acknowledges
that GNAX will invoice certain Service(s)
(including without limitation telecommunications
services) in advance of the provision of
such Service(s). Payment shall be due immediately
upon the invoice date for recurring monthly
services whether or not customer has received
an invoice yet or not. Invoices which remain
unpaid fifteen (15) days after receipt of
same by Customer shall accrue interest at
a rate of one and a half percent (1.5%)
per month (or at the maximum interest rate
otherwise allowed by law) until paid in
full and service may be terminated for non
payment after 7 days at GNAX option. Expenses
shall be included on an invoice only to
the extent that the actual amount of Expenses
is known to GNAX at the time the invoice
is issued, and Expenses for which an actual
amount is not known to GNAX at the time
an invoice is issued may be included on
subsequent invoices. Unless otherwise agreed
in writing by the Parties, the failure of
GNAX to include earned or incurred Fees
or Expenses on a given invoice shall not
relieve Customer of its obligation to pay
such Fees or Expenses. Customer's obligation
to pay Fees or Expenses shall survive the
termination of this Agreement for any reason
whatsoever.
Bandwidth Overages. Customer
agrees that advertised bandwidth allowances
represent the sum of the incoming and outgoing
allowances. Customer agrees
that the sum of incoming and outgoing bandwidth usage that exceeds the allowance
shall be billed
at $0.50 per GigaByte.
Security Interest. Customer
grants GNAX a blanket security interest
in the customer's contract with their customers
who are renting servers from them in the
GNAX data center and any equipment which
they have colocated in the GNAX data center
in the event of non-payment by customer
- customer agrees that GNAX may take these
customer contracts direct and or sell the
equipment without a tortious interference
claim or unlawful conversioin claim to protect
the credit balance owed GNAX by customer
and full ownership of the contracts shall
transfer as well if balance is more than
60 days old. Any amounts collected from
any sale of equipment above and beyond the
balance owed will be returned to the customer
within 10 business days.
Term. The term of this
Agreement shall begin upon the date the
server is installed and made available to
customer and shall be for 1 month and shall
renew for successive 1 month terms until
terminated by either Party upon the sooner
of (i) thirty (30) days prior written notice
to the other Party, or (ii) the expiration
or termination of all Service(s) set forth
in the Statement of Work and all Work Order(s).
Termination Due to Breach.
In the event that Customer commits a material
breach of any of its obligations hereunder,
GNAX may terminate this Agreement or (at
GNAX's sole option) suspend, interrupt or
terminate one or more Service(s) to which
such breach pertains by sending written
notice of termination to Customer with termination
effective as of the fifth (5th) calendar
day after the date such notice is given.
Effects of Termination.
Unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing,
termination of the Agreement shall also
serve to terminate all Service(s) and Statements
of Work and to cancel all Work Orders, and
Customer shall pay GNAX all Fees and Expenses
earned or incurred by GNAX pursuant to such
Service(s), Statements of Work and Work
Orders through the date of termination,
less any payments made hereunder by Customer
prior to said termination. Additionally,
all property of each Party which is in possession
of the other Party shall be returned to
its owner. In the event one or more Service(s)
is terminated prior to the expiration of
the Term for such Service(s) (other than
due to a material breach of this Agreement
by GNAX.
Warranties of GNAX. 100%
uptime
GNAX warrants that the Service(s) shall
be provided in a workmanlike and professional
manner. Upon GNAX's breach of the foregoing
warranty, Customer's sole and exclusive
remedy shall be to require GNAX to exercise
commercially reasonable efforts to repair
or replace the nonconforming Service(s);
provided, however, that, with respect to
any Service(s) which are interrupted or
rendered inoperable due solely to GNAX's
breach of the foregoing warranty for any
time period, Customer shall also be entitled
to a pro-rata refund of any Fees attributable
to the interrupted or inoperable Service(s)
in an amount determined by multiplying the
fixed monthly, recurring Fees (if any) for
the interrupted or inoperable Service(s)
by the ratio that the number of consecutive
hours of inoperability bears to 720 hours
(for the purpose of this computation, each
month is deemed to have 720 hours). GNAX
will not be liable to any extent whatsoever
for interruption, restriction, inoperability
or malfunction of any Service(s) which is
not caused solely by a breach of the warranty
set forth in this Section 4.1. GNAX expressly
reserves the right to suspend, interfere
with, impair or terminate Service(s) as
necessary for purposes of maintenance, upgrades
or repair (either by GNAX or by any supplier,
partner or independent contractor of GNAX)
or in the event of any circumstance which
GNAX, in its sole discretion, deems necessary
or desirable to prevent or remedy an impairment
of, or harm to, the integrity or functionality
of any Service(s) or any plant, services
or facilities of any Indemnitees (as defined
in Section 4.3) or of any third party, and
neither the exercise nor the non-exercise
of the foregoing rights or discretion shall
constitute a breach of any provision of
this Agreement.

EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, CONTRACTUAL OR STATUTORY,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES
OF UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION

THEREOF, AND ALL WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT
THERETO ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.

technological or other data which Customer
knows or should know is relevant to the
provision of the Service(s) (collectively

provide the Information to GNAX in a timely
manner and the Information shall be accurate.

breach of its obligations in this Section
4.1, the warranty set forth in Section 4.1
shall be null and void.
