20. CONFIDENTIALITY. (a) During the term of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years from the date of its expiration or termination or the expiration or termination of all extensions thereto, each party agrees to maintain in strict confidence all Confidential Information of the other party.

(b) Notwithstanding Subsection (a), either party may disclose the Confidential Information of other party to: (i) its employees and the employees, directors and officers of its affiliates as necessary to implement this Agreement and provided that such persons are contractually or otherwise legally obligated to hold the Confidential Information in accordance with this Agreement; (ii) employees, agents or representatives of the other party; or (iii) other persons (including counsel, consultants, lessors or managers of facilities or equipment used by such party) in need of access to such information for purposes specifically related to either party’s responsibilities under this Agreement, provided that any disclosure of Confidential Information under clause (iii) shall be made only upon the prior written approval of the other party and subject to appropriate assurances that the recipient of such information shall hold it in strict confidence.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may assign this Agreement or any or all of its rights and obligations hereunder, to its parent, any of its affiliates or subsidiaries or to a successor in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such party upon notice to, but without the consent of, the other party; provided such party, affiliate, subsidiary, or successor is not determined to be a competitor. No assignment of this Agreement shall relieve either party of any obligations thereunder. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section shall be void. 

25. FORCE MAJEURE. (a) In no event shall either party be liable to the other for any failure to perform hereunder that is due to war, riots, embargoes, strikes or other concerted acts of workers (whether CloudWyze’s or others’), casualties, accidents, epidemics or pandemics, or other causes beyond the control of the party claiming excuse. No failure to perform shall be excused under this Subsection unless such failure and the consequences thereof are beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the party claiming excuse. Each party shall, with the cooperation of the other, use reasonable efforts to mitigate the extent of any failure to perform and the adverse consequences thereof. (b) If CloudWyze cannot promptly provide a suitable temporary CloudWyze alternative to a Product or Service subject to an Interruption in connection with the existence of a force majeure condition, Customer may, at its option and at its own cost, contract with one or more third parties for any or all affected Products and Services for the shortest commercially available period likely to cover the reasonably expected duration of the Interruption, and may suspend CloudWyze’s provision of such Products and Services for such period. CloudWyze shall not charge Customer for any Products and Services thus suspended during the period of suspension. CloudWyze shall resume provision of the suspended Products and Services upon the later of the termination or expiration of Customer’s legally binding commitments under contracts with third parties for alternative services or the cessation or remedy of the force majeure condition. (c) In the event that a force majeure condition shall continue for more than sixty (60) days, Customer may cancel the affected Products and Services with no further liability to CloudWyze other than for Products and Services received by it prior to the occurrence of the force majeure condition. 

26. MODIFICATIONS. No modification, amendment, or supplement to the Agreement or any of its provisions shall be binding upon the parties unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the party against whom enforcement thereof is sought. A failure or delay of either party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, to exercise within the time specified (if any) any option provided herein, or to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such option or provision. 

27. NOTICES. CloudWyze communicates with its Customers primarily via email. Notices to Customer shall be sent to the email address specified by Customer at the time of registration for the Services or as subsequently specified by Customer (“Email Address”). Customer is responsible for notifying CloudWyze of any Email Address changes. Customer agrees that sending a message to the Email Address is the agreed upon means of providing notification. Email is used to communicate important information about the Services, billing, changes to the Services and other information. The information is time-sensitive in nature. It is required that Customer read any email sent to the Email Address in a timely manner in order to avoid any potential interruption in the Services provided hereunder. 

 

28. ADVERTISEMENT AND PUBLICITY. Neither CloudWyze nor Customer shall use the name of the other in any publicity release, solicitation or promotional material, or advertisement without the prior written consent of the other. This prohibition includes use of the other’s name, trademarks or logos or any other reference to the other party directly or indirectly in any advertising, sales presentation, news release, release to any professional or trade publication or for any other purpose. Each party may withhold consent under this Section in its sole discretion. 

29. HEADINGS. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not in any way limit or otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of any of the terms hereof. 

30. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the unaffected provisions of this Agreement shall be unimpaired and remain in full force and effect. CloudWyze and Customer shall negotiate in good faith to substitute for such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision a mutually acceptable provision consistent with the original intention of the parties. 

31. INTERPRETATION OF AGREEMENT. No provision of these Terms will be interpreted in favor of Customer or against CloudWyze by reason of the fact that CloudWyze has drafted this Agreement. Unless otherwise stated, the words “herein,” “hereunder” and other similar words refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Section or other subdivision. The words “include” and “including” shall not be construed as terms of limitation.  

32. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and validity and performance hereof shall be governed by, the laws of the State of North Carolina. 

33. PERFORMANCE PENDING OUTCOME OF DISPUTES. (a) Pending the resolution of any bona fide dispute or controversy arising under this Agreement, and subject to Customer continuing to meet all other obligations under this Agreement (e.g. payment terms), CloudWyze shall continue to perform its obligations hereunder and shall not discontinue, disconnect, or in any other fashion cease to provide all or any substantial portion of the Products and Services to Customer unless otherwise directed by Customer. (b) This Section shall not apply where (i) Customer is in default under this Agreement or (ii) the dispute or controversy between parties relates to harm to the CloudWyze network allegedly caused by Customer and Customer does not immediately cease and desist from the activity giving rise to the dispute or controversy. 

34. ENTIRETY OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement and supersedes all previous agreements, promises, representations, understandings, and negotiations between the parties, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof. For clarification, the terms set forth in this Agreement shall supersede the service specific agreements, to the extent of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and such service specific agreement, and including without limitation, terms relating to term/termination, payment terms, limitations of liability, indemnification and warranty disclaimers and limitations. This Agreement and any other agreement between the parties may be amended only in a writing signed by each of the parties.  

Terms Specific to Internet Service Orders 

1. See separate Internet Service Provider Terms and Conditions, Open Internet Transparency Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, Privacy Policy and DMCA Policy listed on our website at https://www.cloudwyze.com/legal-policies-and-agreements. 

Terms Specific to PHONE Service Orders 

1. 911 EMERGENCY DIALING. CloudWyze 911 Dialing will be implemented and operational with the Phone Service. The Phone Service may not be used in any geographical area different from that reported to CloudWyze as Customer’s Installation Site in the Master Agreement.  With E911 service, when Customer dials 911, Customer’s telephone number and registered address is simultaneously sent to the local emergency center assigned to Customer’s location, and emergency operators have access to the information they need to send help and call Customer back if necessary.  By using this Service, Customer authorizes CloudWyze to disclose Customer’s name and address to third-parties involved with providing 911 Dialing to Customer, including, without limitation, call routers, call centers, and local emergency centers. Customers in locations where the emergency center is not equipped to receive Customer’s telephone number and address have basic 911. With basic 911, the local emergency operator answering the call will not have Customer’s call back number or Customer’s exact location, so Customer must be prepared to give them this information. Until Customer gives the operator Customer’s phone number, he/she may not be able to call Customer back or dispatch help if the call is not completed or is not forwarded, is dropped or disconnected, or if Customer is unable to speak. As additional local emergency centers become capable of receiving customers’ information, CloudWyze will automatically upgrade customers with basic 911 to E911 service. CloudWyze will not give Customer notice of such upgrade. 

2. REGISTRATION OF PHYSICAL LOCATION REQUIRED. For each phone number that Customer uses for the Phone Service, Customer must register with CloudWyze the physical location where Customer will be using the Phone Service with that phone number. If Customer moves a device associated with such phone number to another location, Customer must register Customer’s new location. If Customer does not register Customer’s new location, any call Customer makes using the 911 Dialing feature may be sent to an emergency center near Customer’s previous address. 

3. CONFIRMATION OF ACTIVATION REQUIRED.  Customer’s 911 Dialing feature will not be activated for any phone line that Customer is using with the Phone Service, unless and until Customer receives an email from CloudWyze confirming that the 911 Dialing feature has been activated for that phone line. 

4. OUTAGES DUE TO ELECTRICAL, INTERNET, OR OTHER GENERAL FAILURES.  Customer acknowledges that the Phone Service will not function in the absence of electrical power, access to the internet, or other general failures associated with the VOIP network. Customer acknowledges that the Phone Service will not function if there is an interruption of Customer’s broadband or high-speed internet access service. 

5. NON-VOICE SYSTEMS.  Customer acknowledges that the Phone Service is not set up to function without-dialing systems, including home security systems, medical monitoring equipment, satellite television systems, and some facsimile systems. By consenting to these terms and conditions, Customer waives any claim against CloudWyze for interruption or disruption of such systems by the Phone Service. 

6. TOLLS.  If applicable, every call to or from equipment using the Phone Service that originates or terminates in the Public Switched Telephone Network (“PSTN”) is subject to the then-applicable toll charges that are associated with the respective plan ordered by Customer. Every call to or from equipment using the Phone Service that originates or terminates with an SIP service that is not affiliated or associated with CloudWyze will also count as PSTN minutes and be subject to the then-applicable toll charges that are associated with the respective plan ordered by Customer. As applicable, domestic long-distance calls are billed in six (6) second increments. As applicable, calls to a phone number outside the United States and Canada to a non-CloudWyze account will be charged at the current rates published on the CloudWyze related website. The duration of each call from the US to international destination is to be calculated in six (6) second increments after a thirty (30) second minimum. As applicable, calls to Mexico are rounded to the minute. 

7. TELEPHONE NUMBER.  Telephone numbers provided by CloudWyze to the Customer shall be leased and not sold. Customer is not to use any such numbers with any other device without the express written permission of CloudWyze. CloudWyze reserves the right to change, cancel, or move such numbers at its sole discretion. If, however, the Customer chooses to ‘port’ their existing phone number into the CloudWyze VoIP service, the Customer shall also be able to ‘port’ such number out of the CloudWyze network upon termination of service if the Customer has maintained an account in good standing with CloudWyze. 

8. UNLIMITED MINUTE USAGE PLANS; CHANGES TO THE AGREEMENT, SERVICE, OR PLAN.  CloudWyze reserves the right to review usage of unlimited minute usage plans to ensure that there is no Customer abuse of such plans.  Customer agrees to use unlimited minute plans for normal voice calls and will not employ methods or devices to take advantage of unlimited plans by using service excessively or for means not intended by CloudWyze.  CloudWyze may terminate service immediately if, in its sole discretion, Customer is abusively using the unlimited minute plan.  CloudWyze reserves the right to make changes to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Services and/or the Plan (“Change of Service”). In the event of a Change of Service, CloudWyze will post a notice or a link to such notice on its website currently located at http://www.cloudwyze.com Notice will be considered received by Customer, and such changes will become binding to Customer, on the date the changes are posted to the website (“Change Date”), and no additional notice will be required. CloudWyze will post all changes thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date of change, with the exception of international calling rates, which require only twenty-four (24) hours’ notice.   If Customer does not send CloudWyze notification of its desire to terminate this agreement or uses the Service after the Change Date, Customer is deemed to have accepted and consented to the change of terms and conditions of the Service. If Customer does not consent to the change of service and terminates this agreement, Customer will be responsible for any sums due hereunder in addition to any applicable Disconnection Fee. Customer may request a plan change at any time, subject to any applicable change of service fee and additional terms and conditions. For a plan change to a plan that requires a purchase of equipment, an equipment charge may apply. CloudWyze may decrease prices for phone services or plans without providing any prior notice to Customer. 

9. PHONE NUMBERS AND WEB PORTAL DISCONTINUANCE.  Upon expiration, cancellation, or termination of the phone service, Customer shall relinquish and discontinue use of any phone numbers, voice mail access numbers, and/or web portals assigned to Customer by CloudWyze or its vendors. 

Terms Specific to PRIVATE AND SHARED CLOUD Service Orders 

1. CONTENT OF TRANSMISSIONS. Customer is solely responsible for the content of any transmissions utilizing Customer’s facilities or CloudWyze’s facilities. The use of another organization’s network or computing resources is subject to its respective permission and usage policies. Customer agrees to comply with all applicable laws with regard to the transmission and use of information and content. Customer further agrees not to use the private cloud services provided hereunder for illegal purposes, to interfere with or disrupt other network users, network services or network equipment. 

2. HAZARDS OR INTERFERENCE. Upon notice from CloudWyze, Customer promptly shall eliminate any hazard, interference, or service obstruction that any hardware or software used by Customer, whether or not provided by CloudWyze, causes or is likely to cause.  If Customer requests CloudWyze’s assistance in removing any such hazard, interference, or service, CloudWyze, for a fee, may but is not required to assist in such removal. 

3. NOT A LEASE.  Customer’s order of CloudWyze’s Private Cloud Storage Service is a service agreement and is not intended to and will not constitute a lease of real property. Customer acknowledges and agrees that it has no rights as a tenant or otherwise under any real property or landlord/tenant laws, regulations, or ordinances. 

Terms Specific to EQUIPMENT RENTALS 

1. PURCHASE ORDER. To process an order to rent equipment (“Equipment”) by Customer, CloudWyze must first receive an executed Purchase Order. CloudWyze shall have no obligation to Customer until such time as a Purchase Order is accepted.  

2. LOCATION AND INSPECTION OF EQUIPMENT. Customer agrees not to move any Equipment from the location noted in the respective Purchase Order without CloudWyze’s prior written consent. CloudWyze will have the right to enter the premises where the Equipment is located, in order to confirm the existence, condition, and proper maintenance of the Equipment or to remove it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

3. TITLE/OWNERSHIP/GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. CloudWyze owns the Equipment. Customer covenants to keep the Equipment free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. 

4. UNCONDITIONAL PAYMENT OBLIGATION. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer is unconditionally obligated to pay all amounts due pursuant to this Agreement no matter what happens, even if the Equipment is damaged or destroyed, if the Equipment is defective, or if Customer no longer can use the Equipment. Customer is not entitled to reduce or set-off against payments or other amounts due to CloudWyze or to anyone to whom CloudWyze transfers this Agreement, whether Customer’s claim arises out of the Agreement or any manufacturer’s liability, strict liability, negligence, or otherwise. 

5.  USE AND MAINTENANCE. Customer agrees that this is a commercial transaction and that the Equipment will be used for business purposes only. Customer agrees to keep the Equipment in good repair, condition, and working order, except ordinary wear and tear, and will furnish all parts and servicing required. Equipment supplies and maintenance are not part of this Agreement. Until Customer’s obligations hereunder are performed in full, Customer may modify the Equipment only with CloudWyze’s prior written consent. 

7. PAYMENTS/DOC FEE/NO PREPAYMENT/CREDIT MEMOS. Payments for Equipment are due monthly, beginning on the date set forth in specified in the Master Agreement or any subsequent Purchase Order, or any later date designated by CloudWyze and continuing on the same day of each following month until fully paid. CloudWyze may charge Customer a reasonable fee to cover documentation and investigation costs. If Customer chooses to make any payment due under this Agreement early, Customer will not be entitled to take a discount off of the aggregate amount of the payments to be made to CloudWyze. CloudWyze made an investment in reliance on the stream of cash flows anticipated by the payment schedule set forth in this Agreement. An early payment discounted for interest would frustrate CloudWyze’s purpose in extending Customer credit under this Agreement.  

8. SECURITY DEPOSIT. If Customer is required to pay CloudWyze a security deposit in respect of any Equipment (“Security Deposit”), as specified in the Master Agreement or any subsequent Purchase Order, CloudWyze may, without further notice to Customer and without prejudice to CloudWyze’s other remedies, apply part or all of the Security Deposit toward the cure of any default under this Agreement. In such event, Customer shall, within five (5) business days after written demand, pay CloudWyze an amount equal to the amount so applied to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. CloudWyze may deposit the Security Deposit into an account with CloudWyze’s own funds and commingle it with CloudWyze’s assets. Customer is not entitled to receive interest on the Security Deposit and it will be returned to Customer at the end of the term of this Agreement, after CloudWyze applies the Security Deposit to any outstanding amounts due and payable to CloudWyze. 

9. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of an event of a default, CloudWyze may, at CloudWyze’s option, require Customer to pay (a) all past due amounts under this Agreement and (b) all future amounts to become due during the unexpired term of this Agreement, discounted at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum. CloudWyze may directly debit Customer’s ACH bank account or charge Customer’s credit card for amounts owed. Upon a default, CloudWyze may also choose to repossess the Equipment. CloudWyze may also use any other remedies available to CloudWyze under applicable law. If CloudWyze repossesses and rents or sells the Equipment to a third party, CloudWyze will reduce the amount Customer owes by what CloudWyze receives, less applicable expenses. CloudWyze may also hold payments made by Customer prior to repossession as liquidated damages and compensation for all expenses incurred by CloudWyze in retaking the Equipment. Customer acknowledges that CloudWyze’s damages from a default by Customer are difficult to ascertain, and that this amount represents liquidated damages and is not intended as a penalty. These remedies will be applied, to the extent allowed by law, cumulatively. In addition, Customer agrees to pay CloudWyze all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by CloudWyze in exercising or attempting to exercise any of CloudWyze’s rights or remedies. A waiver of default shall not be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent default. Upon a default, Customer hereby appoints CloudWyze as Customer’s attorney-in-fact to do, at Customer’s sole expense, all acts required for Customer to perform under this Agreement. 

10. CUSTOMER WAIVERS. Customer waives any rights now or hereafter (a) to reject or revoke acceptance of the Equipment or (b) to require CloudWyze to sell or otherwise use or dispose of the Equipment in mitigation of CloudWyze’s damages. In the event of Customer’s default, Customer waive notices of CloudWyze’s intent to accelerate the payments, the acceleration of the payments, and of the enforcement of CloudWyze’s rights hereunder. To the extent Customer is permitted by law, Customer waives all defenses Customer would otherwise have under the Uniform Commercial Code and common law.  

11. END OF TERM. At the end of the initial rental period for any Equipment (“End Date”), such rental period will automatically renew for successive twelve (12) month renewal periods unless (a) Customer provides CloudWyze written notice of Customer’s intent to return the applicable Equipment at least sixty (60) days prior to the End Date and (b) Customer timely returns the applicable Equipment to the location designated by CloudWyze, at Customer’s sole expense. If the returned Equipment is not immediately available for use by another without need of repair, Customer will reimburse CloudWyze for all repair costs. Customer cannot pay off this Agreement or return the Equipment prior to the End Date without CloudWyze’s prior written consent. If CloudWyze consents, CloudWyze may charge Customer, in addition to other amounts owed, an early termination fee equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of Customer’s Equipment payment obligations under this Agreement.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. CUSTOMER ASSUMES TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR USE OF ANY PRE-EXISTING OR NEWLY PURCHASED EQUIPMENT AND/OR SOFTWARE FROM VENDORS OTHER THAN CLOUDWYZE (“OTHER VENDOR PRODUCTS”), AND USES THE SAME AT ITS OWN RISK, AND FOR ACCESS TO AND SECURITY OF SUCH OTHER VENDOR PRODUCTS AND FOR CUSTOMER’S NETWORK.
