9. CHANGES TO THE ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY
9.1 We may change the Acceptable Use Policy to add or modify restrictions on our customers' use of the Services, provided that the changes are reasonable and consistent with hosting industry norms. If we make a change to the AUP we will publish a revised version of the AUP at www.Frontpoint-it.com/Acceptable-Use-Policy and email the primary contact of revision.

During the sixty (60) day period, you may elect to terminate the Agreement on these grounds by giving written notice.

We will give you advance notice of a suspension under this paragraph of at least twelve (12) Business Hours unless we determine in our reasonable commercial judgment that a suspension on shorter or contemporaneous notice is necessary to protect Frontpoint or its other customers from imminent and significant operational or security risk. If your Hosted System is compromised, then you must address the vulnerability prior to Frontpoint placing the Hosted System back in service or, at your request, we may be able to perform this work for you at our standard hourly rates as a Supplementary Service.

(iv) in response to a subpoena or other compulsory legal process, provided that each of us agrees to give the other written notice of at least seven (7) days prior to disclosing Confidential Information under this subsection (or prompt notice in advance of disclosure, if seven (7) days advance notice is not reasonably feasible), unless the law forbids such notice.
13. LIMITATION ON DAMAGES
13.1 We are not liable to you for failing to provide the Services unless such failure results from a breach of a Service Level Guaranty, or results from our gross negligence, willful misconduct, or intentional breach of the Agreement. The credits stated in the Service Level Guaranty are your sole and exclusive remedy for our failure to meet those guaranties for which credits are provided unless such failure is due to Frontpoint's willful misconduct. Termination of the Agreement is your sole and exclusive remedy for our failure to meet support expectations.
13.2 Neither of us (nor any of our employees, agents, affiliates or suppliers) is liable to the other for any lost profits or any other indirect, special, incidental or consequential loss or damages of any kind, or for any loss that could have been avoided by the damaged party's use of reasonable diligence, even if the party responsible for the damages has been advised or should be aware of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall either of us be liable to the other for any punitive damages.
13.3 We are not liable to you for lost data unless and to the extent you purchase data backup services from Frontpoint and we fail to provide the backup services as agreed. If you purchase backup services, you release Frontpoint from liability for loss of data to the extent that the data has changed since the time that we were last required by the Agreement to perform a backup.
13.4 Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, except for liability based on willful misconduct or fraudulent misrepresentation, and liability for death or personal injury resulting from Frontpoint's negligence, the maximum aggregate monetary liability of Frontpoint and any of its employees, agents, suppliers, or affiliates in connection with the Services, the Agreement, and any act or omission related to the Services or Agreement, under any theory of law (including breach of contract, tort, strict liability, violation of law, and infringement) shall not exceed: (i) for Hosting Services an amount that is twelve (12) times one month's recurring fee under the Agreement for the Services that are the subject of the claim as of the time of the occurrence of the events giving rise to the claim, and (ii) for Supplementary Services, fees paid for the Supplementary Services that are the subject of the claim.
14. INDEMNIFICATION
14.1 If we, our affiliates, or any of our or their respective employees, agents, or suppliers (the "Indemnitees") is faced with a legal claim by a third party arising out of your actual or alleged gross negligence, willful misconduct, violation of law, failure to meet the security obligations required by the Agreement, violation of the AUP, violation of your agreement with your customers or end users, or violation of Section 8 (Export Matters) or Section 16(Software) of this General Terms and Conditions, then you will pay the cost of defending the claim (including reasonable attorney fees) and any damages award, fine or other amount that is imposed on the Indemnitees as a result of the claim. Your obligations under this subsection include claims arising out of the acts or omissions of your employees or agents, any other person to whom you have given access to the Services, and any person who gains access to the Services as a result of your failure to use reasonable security precautions, even if the acts or omissions of such persons were not authorized by you. You must also pay reasonable attorney fees and other expenses we incur in connection with any dispute between persons having a conflicting claim to control your account with us, or any claim by your customer or end user arising from an actual or alleged breach of your obligations to them.
14.2 We will choose legal counsel to defend the claim, provided that these decisions must be reasonable and must be promptly communicated to you. You must comply with our reasonable requests for assistance and cooperation in the defense of the claim. We may not settle the claim without your consent, although such consent may not be unreasonably withheld. You must pay expenses due under this Section as we incur them.
15. PUBLICITY

16. SOFTWARE
16.1 General. You may not copy any software we provide for your use unless expressly permitted by the Agreement. You may not remove, modify or obscure any copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights notices that appear on any software we provide for your use. Unless permitted by the terms of an open source software license, you may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any software we provide for your use except and to the extent that you are expressly permitted by applicable law to do this, and then following at least ten (10) days advance written notice to us. In addition to the terms of our Agreement, your use of any Microsoft software is governed by Microsoft's license terms, and any use restrictions on your use of the Microsoft software as indicated in your Services Description, such as a limitation on the number of users (a "SAL" license). If you use any non-Frontpoint provided software on your Hosted System you represent and warrant to Frontpoint that you have the legal right to use the software in that manner. On Frontpoint's request you will certify in writing that you are in compliance with the requirements of this paragraph and any other software license restrictions that are part of the Agreement, and will provide evidence of your compliance as we may reasonably request.
16.2 Customer Provided Licenses. If Frontpoint has agreed to install, patch or otherwise manage software in reliance on your license with a software vendor (rather than Frontpoint's license with the software vendor), then you represent and warrant that you have a written license agreement with the vendor that permits Frontpoint to perform these activities. You agree that you will provide Frontpoint with evidence of licensing as Frontpoint may reasonably require prior to the scheduled deployment date, and from time to time as necessary to update the status of the license. If you fail to provide the required evidence of licensing Frontpoint may, at its option, either (i) delay the deployment date for the Hosted System that was to include such software until the evidence is provided, (ii) deploy the Hosted System in reliance on Frontpoint's licensing agreement with the vendor, and charge you its standard fee for the use of the software until such time as the required evidence is provided, or (iii) suspend or terminate the Agreement. Please Note: Your licensed software may not be compatible with Frontpoint's standard process for deploying and repairing Hosted Systems. In addition, in order to install the software Frontpoint may require you to send the physical or electronic media provided to you by the vendor, both for deployment and again in the event of a failure of your Hosted System. You agree that Frontpoint will not be in breach of any Service Level Guaranty or other obligation under this Agreement that would not have occurred but for a delay resulting from our agreement to use your licensed software.
17. RECOMMENDATIONS
Frontpoint personnel may from time to time recommend third party software or other products and services for your consideration. FRONTPOINT MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER REGARDING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES THAT ARE NOT PURCHASED FROM FRONTPOINT. Your use of any such products and services is governed by the terms of your agreement with the provider of those products and services.
18. WHO MAY USE THE SERVICE
You may permit your subsidiaries and affiliated companies to use the Services if you wish. Frontpoint will provide support only to you, not to your customers, subsidiaries or affiliates. There are no third party beneficiaries to the Agreement, meaning that your customers, subsidiaries, affiliates and other third parties do not have any rights against either of us under this Agreement.
19. NO HIGH RISK USE
You may not use the Services in any situation where failure or fault of the Services could lead to death or serious bodily injury of any person, or to physical or environmental damage.

20. SERVICES MANAGEMENT AGENT
You agree that you will not interfere with any services management software agent(s) that Frontpoint installs on your Hosted System. Frontpoint agrees that its agents will use only a minimal amount of computing resources, and will not interfere with your use of your Hosted System.

Frontpoint may also use the agents to identify security vulnerabilities. Frontpoint will not use the agents to view or capture your content or data. Your Services will become "unsupported" as described in the Product Terms if you disable or interfere with our services management agent(s).

23. OWNERSHIP OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Each of us retains all right, title and interest in and to our respective trade secrets, inventions, copyrights and other intellectual property.

25. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT
If Frontpoint or any of its customers is faced with a credible claim that the Services infringe on the intellectual property rights of a third party, and Frontpoint is not reasonably able to obtain the right to use the infringing element or modify the Services such that they do not infringe, then Frontpoint may terminate the Services on reasonable notice of at least ninety (90) days, and will not have any liability on account of such termination except to refund amounts paid for Services not used as of the time of termination.
26. ASSIGNMENT/SUBCONTRACTORS
Neither party may assign the Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party except as part of a bona fide corporate reorganization or a sale of its business. Frontpoint may use third party service providers to perform all or any part of the Services, but Frontpoint remains responsible to you under this Agreement for Services performed by its third party service providers to the same extent as if Frontpoint performed the Services itself.
27. FORCE MAJEURE
Neither of us will be in violation of the Agreement if the failure to perform the obligation is due to an event beyond our control, such as significant failure of a part of the power grid, significant failure of the Internet, natural disaster, war, riot, insurrection, epidemic, strikes or other organized labor action, terrorism, or other events of a magnitude or type for which precautions are not generally taken in the industry.
28. GOVERNING LAW, LAWSUITS
The Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, exclusive of its choice of law principles, and the laws of the United States of America, as applicable. The Agreement shall not be governed by the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods. Exclusive venue for all disputes arising out of the Agreement shall be in the state or federal courts in Davis County, Utah, and we each agree not to bring an action in any other venue. You waive all objections to this venue and agree not to dispute personal jurisdiction or venue in these courts. You agree that you will not bring or participate in any class action lawsuit against Frontpoint or any of its employees or affiliates. Each of us agrees that we will not bring a claim under the Agreement more than two years after the time that the claim accrued.
29. SOME AGREEMENT MECHANICS
These General Terms and Conditions, the applicable Product Terms, and any applicable Country Specific Terms are incorporated in your Agreement by reference to pages on the Frontpoint website. Although we may from time to time revise the General Terms and Conditions, Product Terms, and Country Specific Terms posted on those pages, those revisions will not be effective as to an Agreement that you signed prior to the date we posted the revisions, and your Agreement will continue to be governed by the General Terms and Conditions and Product Terms posted on the effective date of the Agreement until the first day of any renewal or extended term that follows the date we published the revision. However, if over time you sign multiple Agreements for a single Hosted System - for example to add service elements to an existing Hosted System, then the version of the General Terms and Conditions, Product Terms and Conditions, and Country Specific Terms (if any) referenced in the last signed Agreement will govern the entire Hosted System, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Unless otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement, the General Terms and Conditions, Product Terms and Conditions, Acceptable Use Policy, Country Specific Terms and Conditions, and any addenda referenced in any of them, may be amended only by a formal written agreement signed by both parties. A Services Description may be amended to modify, add, or remove Services, by a formal written agreement signed by both parties, or by an exchange of correspondence, including via electronic mail or the Frontpoint ticketing system, that includes the express consent of an authorized individual for each of us. The pre-printed terms on your purchase order or other business forms will not become part of this Agreement.
If there is a conflict between the terms of any of the documents that comprise the Agreement, the documents will govern in the following order: signature page for Hosting Service Agreement, Country Specific Terms (if any), Services Description, Product Terms and Conditions, any addendum to the General Terms and Conditions, the General Terms and Conditions, and the Acceptable Use Policy. If any part of the Agreement is found unenforceable by a court, the rest of the Agreement will nonetheless continue in effect, and the unenforceable part shall be reformed to the extent possible to make it enforceable but still consistent with the business and financial objectives of the parties underlying the Agreement. Each of us may enforce each of our respective rights under the Agreement even if we have waived the right or failed to enforce the same or other rights in the past. The relationship between us is that of independent contractors and not business partners. Neither of us is the agent for the other, and neither of us has the right to bind the other on any agreement with a third party. The captions in the Agreement are for convenience only and are not part of the Agreement. The use of the word "including" in the Agreement shall be read to mean "including without limitation." The words "our" and "us" refers to Frontpoint, unless the context clearly indicates another meaning. The Agreement is effective when you sign it, even though the "initial term" may be defined in the Agreement with reference to the Service Commencement Date or other date. The following provisions shall survive expiration or termination of the Agreement: (i) Sections 5.1, 5.2, 7, 12, 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 28, and 29 of this General Terms and Conditions, (ii) all provisions in the Agreement requiring you to pay fees for Services provided prior to the time of expiration or termination or requiring you to pay an early termination fee, and (iii) all other provisions of the Agreement that by their nature are intended to survive expiration or termination of the Agreement.
If you have made any change to the Agreement that you did not bring to our attention in a way that is reasonably calculated to put us on notice of the change, the change shall not become part of the Agreement.
The Agreement may be signed in multiple counterparts, which taken together will be considered one original. Facsimile signatures, signatures on an electronic image (such as .pdf or .jpg format), and electronic signatures shall be deemed to be original signatures.
This General Terms and Conditions is the complete and exclusive agreement between you and Frontpoint regarding its subject matter and supersedes and replaces any prior agreement, understanding or communication, written or oral.
