Customer is solely responsible for determining the suitability of the Services in light of the type of Customer Data used with the Services. We do not have knowledge of the Customer Data you store on your Hosted System, including the content, quantity, value or use of such data. You are therefore responsible for taking all reasonable steps to mitigate the risks inherent in storing or transmitting Customer Data Services, including data loss.
You must maintain the security of your login credentials and may not share login credentials except as required to establish and authorize users in your account. You are responsible for designating authorized users under your account and limiting access of login credentials associated with your account.
ACCESS TO THE SERVICES.You may access the Services via the online SCALEUP MEDIA LLC Cloud control panel, or via a SCALEUP MEDIA LLC-provided API. SCALEUP MEDIA LLC may modify its control panel or APIs at any time, or may transition to new API’s.

5.1 MANAGED SERVICE LEVEL. The Managed Service Level will not be available for purchase after July 15, 2014. If you previously purchased a Managed Service Level for your account (or as part of an Order for the Services), then SCALEUP MEDIA LLC shall continue to support it in accordance with the following terms until such time as we give you notice that it is end of life. If you purchased a Managed Service Level, then your use of Cloud Servers shall include use of the following services at no additional charge: (i) use of SCALEUP MEDIA LLC’s Cloud Monitoring Service and up to 8 Checks per Cloud Server triggering an alert to SCALEUP MEDIA LLC, and (ii) use of the SCALEUP MEDIA LLC Cloud Backup Agent (provided that you will still be responsible for fees associated with your use of SCALEUP MEDIA LLC Cloud Backup). Additional Support fees may apply (such as a monthly account fee and an additional incremental fee for Cloud Databases).
SCALEUP MEDIA LLC must have administrator access to your Services in order to provide Managed Service Level Support. If you use Managed Service Level Services, you are responsible for updating SCALEUP MEDIA LLC about password changes that limit SCALEUP MEDIA LLC’s ability to manage or monitor the Services. No credits or refunds will be issued for failures caused by restrictions on SCALEUP MEDIA LLC’s root/administrator access to your Services.
SCALEUP MEDIA LLC must have administrator access to your Services in order to provide the Managed Operations Service Level. If you use Cloud Services with a Managed Operations Service Level you are responsible for updating SCALEUP MEDIA LLC about password changes that limit SCALEUP MEDIA LLC’s ability to manage or monitor the Services. No credits or refunds will be issued for failures caused by restrictions on SCALEUP MEDIA LLC’s access to your Services.
TERM.The initial term for each Order begins on the date we make the Services available for your use and continues for the period stated in the Order. If no period is stated in the Order, then the initial term shall be one month. Upon expiration of the initial term, the Order will automatically renew for successive renewal terms of one month each, unless and until one of us gives the other a written notice of non-renewal prior to the expiration of the initial term, or then-current renewal term, as applicable. You must follow SCALEUP MEDIA LLC’s non-renewal process accessible from the SCALEUP MEDIA LLC Cloud control panel to give an effective notice of non-renewal.
FEES.For information about the fees and pricing for Services, including applicable minimums and volume discounts, see: http://www.scaleupconsulting.com/web-hosting-services. SCALEUP MEDIA LLC will charge you fees in accordance with your Order. Unless you have made other arrangements, SCALEUP MEDIA LLC will charge your credit card without invoice on or around the date incurred, or on or around the first day of the billing cycle that follows the date incurred, at SCALEUP MEDIA LLC’s option. Unless otherwise agreed in the Order, your billing cycle will be monthly, beginning on the date that SCALEUP MEDIA LLC first makes the Services available to you. SCALEUP MEDIA LLC may suspend all Services (including Services provided pursuant to any unrelated Order or other agreement we may have with you) if our charges to your credit card are rejected for any reason. SCALEUP MEDIA LLC may charge interest on overdue amounts at 1.5% per month (or the maximum legal rate if it is less than 1.5%). If any amount is overdue by more than thirty (30) days, and SCALEUP MEDIA LLC brings a legal action to collect, or engages a collection agency, you must also pay SCALEUP MEDIA LLC’s reasonable costs of collection, including attorney fees and court costs. All fees are stated and will be charged in US Dollars. Any “credit” that we may owe you, such as a credit for failure to meet a Service Level Agreement, will be applied to fees due from you for Services, and will not be paid to you as a refund. Charges that are not disputed within sixty (60) days of the date charged are conclusively deemed accurate. You must provide SCALEUP MEDIA LLC with accurate factual information to help SCALEUP MEDIA LLC determine if any tax is due with respect to the provision of the Services, and if SCALEUP MEDIA LLC is required by law to collect taxes on the provision of the Services, you must pay SCALEUP MEDIA LLC the amount of the tax that is due or provide satisfactory evidence of your exemption from the tax. You authorize SCALEUP MEDIA LLC to obtain a credit report at any time during the term of the Agreement.
FEE INCREASES.For those Services provided on a month-to-month term, we may increase fees at any time on thirty (30) days advance written notice. If your Order contains Services with a specified term longer than one month, then we may increase your fees effective as of the first day of the renewal term that first begins thirty (30) days from the day of our written notice of a fee increase. In addition, if during the initial term or any renewal term there is an increase in the Producer Price Index over the Producer Price Index reported for the month in which you signed your Order, we may increase your fees by the same percentage as the increase in the Producer Price Index; provided that we may not increase your fees pursuant to this sentence more often than once per twelve months, and we must give you at least thirty (30) days advance written notice of the increase. The “Producer Price Index” means the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods, WPUSOP3000, not seasonally adjusted, and first published as “preliminary” data by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics in its PPI Detailed Report or successor publication. For historical information on the Producer Price Index, you may visit the Bureau of Labor Statistics website. (Example: if the Producer Price Index for the month in which you sign the Order is 186, and then increases in a subsequent month during the term of the Order to 195, we may increase your fees by up to 4.8%).
SUSPENSION.We may suspend the Services without liability if: (i) we reasonably believe that the Services are being used (or have been or will be used) in violation of the Agreement; (ii) we discover that you are, or are affiliated in any manner with, a person who has used similar services abusively in the past; (iii) you don’t cooperate with our reasonable investigation of any suspected violation of the Agreement; (iv) we reasonably believe that the Services have been accessed or manipulated by a third party without your consent; (v) we reasonably believe that suspension of the Services is necessary to protect our network or our other customers; (vi) a payment for the Services is overdue; or (vii) suspension is required by law. We will give you reasonable advance notice of a suspension under this paragraph and a chance to cure the grounds on which the suspension are based, unless we determine, in our reasonable commercial judgment, that a suspension on shorter or contemporaneous notice is necessary to protect SCALEUP MEDIA LLC or our other customers from imminent and significant operational or security risk. If the suspension was based on your breach of your obligations under the Agreement, then we may continue to charge you the fees for the Services during the suspension, and may charge you a reasonable reinstatement fee (not to exceed $150) upon reinstatement of the Services.
TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE.You may terminate the Agreement for convenience at any time, provided that any recurring or minimum fees for the month in which you terminate remain due and payable for such month.
TERMINATION FOR BREACH.We may terminate the Agreement for breach on written notice if: (i) we discover that the information you provided to us about yourself or your proposed use of the Services was materially inaccurate or incomplete; (ii) if you are an individual, you were not at least 18 years old or otherwise did not have the legal capacity to enter into the Agreement at the time you submitted the Order , or if you are an entity or fiduciary, the individual submitting the Order did not have the legal right or authority to enter into the Agreement on behalf of the person represented to be the customer; (iii) your payment of any invoiced amount is overdue, and you do not pay the overdue amount within four (4) days of our written notice; (iv) a credit report indicates you no longer meet our reasonable credit criteria, provided that if we terminate on these grounds, we must give you a reasonable opportunity to migrate your environment out of SCALEUP MEDIA LLC in an orderly fashion; (v) you use the Services in violation of the AUP and fail to remedy the violation within ten (10) days of our written notice; (vi) you violate the AUP more than once, even if you cure each violation; or (vii) you fail to comply with any other provision of the Agreement and do not remedy the failure within thirty (30) days of our notice to you describing the failure.
You may terminate the Agreement for breach on written notice if: (i) we materially fail to provide the Services as agreed and do not remedy that failure within five (5) days of your written notice describing the failure; or (ii) we materially fail to meet any other obligation stated in the Agreement and do not remedy that failure within thirty (30) days of your written notice describing the failure.

12.3 Although the SCALEUP MEDIA LLC Cloud services may be used as a backup service, you agree that you will maintain at least one additional current copy of your programs and data stored on the Cloud system somewhere other than on the Cloud system. If you utilize SCALEUP MEDIA LLC Cloud backup services, you are responsible for performing and testing restores as well as testing your systems and monitoring the integrity of your data.
ACCESS TO YOUR CUSTOMER DATA OR USE OF THE SERVICES.SCALEUP MEDIA LLC is not responsible to you for unauthorized access to your data or the unauthorized use of the Services unless the unauthorized access or use results from SCALEUP MEDIA LLC’s failure to meet its security obligations stated in the Agreement. You are responsible for the use of the Services by any employee of yours, any person you authorize to use the Services, any person to whom you have given access to the Services, and any person who gains access to your data or the Services as a result of your failure to use reasonable security precautions, even if such use was not authorized by you.

The credits stated in any applicable Service Level Agreement are your sole and exclusive remedy for our failure to meet those guarantees for which credits are provided unless such failure is due to SCALEUP MEDIA LLC’s willful misconduct.
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.

We will choose legal counsel to defend the claim, provided that these decisions must be reasonable and must be promptly communicated to you.

28 GOVERNING LAW, LAWSUITS. The Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida, exclusive of any Florida choice of law principle that would require the application of the law of a different jurisdiction, 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. Each of us agrees that any dispute or claim, including without limitation, statutory, contract or tort claims, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the alleged breach of this Agreement, shall, upon timely written request of either of us, be submitted to binding arbitration. The party asserting the claim may elect to have the arbitration be in-person, telephonic or decided based on written submissions. The arbitration shall be conducted in the State and county (or equivalent geographic location) of the non-asserting party’s principal business offices. The arbitration shall proceed in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in effect at the time the claim or dispute arose. The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator from AAA or a comparable arbitration service who is selected pursuant to the applicable rules of the AAA. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned award with findings of fact and conclusions of law and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

We agree that we will not seek reimbursement of our fees and expenses if the arbitrator rules in our favor. You and we waive any right to a trial by jury, so that disputes will be resolved through arbitration.

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. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.
MISCELLANEOUS.
29.1 Changes to Terms on Website. These Cloud Terms of Service may have been incorporated in your Order by reference to a page on the SCALEUP MEDIA LLC website. Although we may from time to time revise the Cloud Terms of Service posted on that page, those revisions will not be effective as to an Order that we accepted prior to the date we posted the revision, and your Order will continue to be governed by the Cloud Terms of Service posted on the effective date of the Order until the earlier of (i) your acceptance of any amended Cloud Terms of Service; (ii) your continued use of the Services after notice of any amended Terms of Service; or (iii) thirty days after the date SCALEUP MEDIA LLC posts amended Terms of Service on the SCALEUP MEDIA LLC website. In addition, if over time you sign multiple Orders for a single account, then the Cloud Terms of Service incorporated in the latest Order posted on the effective date of the latest Order will govern the entire account. SCALEUP MEDIA LLC may accept or reject any Order you submit in its sole discretion. SCALEUP MEDIA LLC’s provisioning of the Services described in an Order shall be SCALEUP MEDIA LLC’s acceptance of the Order.
29.2 Modifications. An Order may be amended by a formal written agreement signed by both parties, or by an exchange of correspondence, including electronic mail, that includes the express consent of an authorized individual for each of us. Any such correspondence that adds or modifies Services in connection with an account established by an Order shall be deemed to be an amendment to that Order, notwithstanding the fact that the correspondence does not expressly refer to the Order.
Other than as stated herein, the Agreement may be modified only by a formal document signed by both parties.
29.3 Order of Precedence. 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: Order, Cloud Terms of Service, and the Acceptable Use Policy.

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.

SCALEUP MEDIA LLC makes no representation or warranty whatsoever regarding any Unsupported Service, and you agree that SCALEUP MEDIA LLC will not be liable to you for any loss or damage arising from the provision of the Unsupported Service.

MAIL SERVICES.
33.1 Access. You may access you Mail Services over the web via the SCALEUP MEDIA LLC Cloud control panel, or via a SCALEUP MEDIA LLC-provided API. SCALEUP MEDIA LLC may modify its control panel or APIs at any time, or may transition to new APIs.

SCALEUP MEDIA LLC recommends that you employ additional security measures, such as a desktop virus scanner and firewall, on computers that are connected to the Internet.

Third party filtering services may from time to time prevent successful delivery of your messages.

You hereby release SCALEUP MEDIA LLC and its employees, agents, affiliates, and third party suppliers from any liability for damages arising from the failure of SCALEUP MEDIA LLC’s filtering services to capture unwanted email or from the capture of legitimate email, or from a failure of your email to reach its intended recipient as a result of a filtering service used by the recipient or the recipient’s email service provider.

You may adjust the storage capacity of your individual mailboxes via the control panel, and it is your obligation to monitor and adjust the storage capacity of individual mailboxes as needed.

33.5 Content Privacy. Your email messages and other items sent or received via the mail service will include: (i) the content of the communication (“content”); and (ii) certain information that is created by the systems and networks that are used to create and transmit the message (the “message routing data”). The content includes things like the text of email messages and attached media files, and is generally the information that could be communicated using some media other than email (like a letter, telephone call, CD, DVD, etc.) The message routing data includes information such as server hostnames, IP addresses, timestamps, mail queue file identifiers, and spam filtering information, and is generally information that would not exist but for the fact that the communication was made via email. The content of your items is your Confidential Information and is subject to the restrictions on use and disclosure described in these Cloud Terms of Service. However, you agree that we may view and use the message routing data for our general business purposes, including maintaining and improving security, improving our services, and developing products. In addition, you agree that we may disclose message routing data to third parties in aggregate statistical form, provided that we do not include any information that could be used to identify you.

SERVICE OPTIMIZATION AND CROWDED HOST PROCESS.By using the Services, you agree that we may establish new procedures for your use of the Services as we deem necessary for the optimal performance of the Services. By using Cloud Servers, you also agree that we may migrate your data within the same data center if we determine in our reasonable judgment that server migration is required to remediate service degradation or shared resource constraints. In each case we will give you reasonable advance notice and use all reasonable endeavors to minimize the effect that such change will have on your use of the Services.
TEST SERVICES.If you use any Services that have been designated as a “Beta” service, limited release, pilot test, early access program, preview, or similar designation, then your use of that Service is subject to the terms at http://www.SCALEUP MEDIA LLC.com/information/legal/testterms.php.
