Customer's use of HostVenom's website, HostVenom Network (as defined in the SLA) and the Products and Services is also subject to Customer's acceptance and compliance with these Terms of Service, the MSA, the AUP, the SLA and the Order Form. Capitalized terms used without being defined in these Terms of Service shall have the meaning ascribed to such capitalized term in the MSA, SLA or AUP, as applicable.

HostVenom may perform additional technical, supplemental, or professional services (other than the Products and Services) for Customer at either HostVenom's published pricing rates or at rates mutually agreed to in writing between Customer and HostVenom. Also, HostVenom retains the right to reject a request for Products and Services. HostVenom may change, discontinue, add, modify, re-price or remove features or functionality from the Products and Services upon its discretion by providing Customer with notice via HostVenom's website. If Customer continues to use the Products and Services following any such modification, Customer acknowledges and agrees to be deemed to have accepted such modification.
Term and Renewal.
Unless Customer agrees to a one-year term or unless otherwise stated in an Order Form or any service description, the initial term ("Initial Term") of this Agreement shall be month-to-month, commencing on the Effective Date and shall automatically renew (A) in the case of a month-to-month term, the first day of each month for successive one-month periods unless cancelled or terminated earlier pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement or (B) in the case of a one-year term, each yearly anniversary of the Effective Date for successive one-year periods unless cancelled or terminated earlier pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement (in each case, a "Renewal Period").

HostVenom LLC ("HostVenom") is committed to respecting and protecting the intellectual property rights of third parties. To that end, HostVenom developed this Copyright and Trademark Infringement Policy (the "Copyright and Trademark Policy") so third parties who believe their copyright or trademark rights have been violated can submit copyright and trademark complaints to HostVenom. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by HostVenom infringe your copyright or trademark rights, you (or your agent) may send us notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information:
- physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
- identification of the copyrighted work or trademark claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works or trademarks located on the Website are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works);
- identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow HostVenom to locate the material on the Website;
- the name, address, telephone number, and email address of the complaining party;
- a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright or trademark owner, its agent, or the law; and
- a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Please be advised that HostVenom will not respond to complaints that do not meet these requirements. If HostVenom determines that the materials alleged to infringe your copyright or trademark rights do not require removal, HostVenom will remove those materials only pursuant to a court order declaring the content or use of the materials unlawful.
If HostVenom's Customer or a Customer's end user believes in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against it, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") permits the Customer or end user to send a counter-notice to HostVenom. Counter-notices must include the following information:
- name, address, and telephone number;
- the source of the content that was removed;
- a statement under penalty of perjury that the Customer or end user has a good faith belief that the content was removed in error;
- a statement that the Customer or end user consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the complaining party's address is located, or if the complaining party's address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which HostVenom may be found, and that the Customer or end user will accept service of process from the person who provided the original complaint; and
- a physical or electronic signature (for example, typing the Customer's or end user's full name).
Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA and should be sent to the agent identified below. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.

This Service Level Agreement (as amended from time to time, this "SLA") applies to HostVenom Products and Services and governs (A) the use and availability of the HostVenom Network (defined below) to those persons that have purchased Products and Services directly from HostVenom (each, a "Customer"), and (B) the right, under certain circumstances specified below, of a Customer to receive services credits in respect of the failure of the HostVenom Network and/or the failure of HostVenom to provide the Products and Services purchased by Customer from HostVenom in accordance with (i) the MSA, (ii) the Terms of Service, (iii) HostVenom's AUP and (iv) this SLA, each of which is incorporated in this SLA by reference and made a part hereof (collectively, the "Agreement"). Capitalized terms used without being defined in this SLA shall have the meaning ascribed to such capitalized term in the MSA, Terms of Service or AUP, as applicable. Customer's use of HostVenom's website, the HostVenom Network (defined below), and the Products and Services is also subject to Customer's acceptance and compliance with this SLA, the Terms of Service, the MSA, the AUP and the Order Form. HOSTVENOM RESERVES THE RIGHT TO AMEND, ALTER, MODIFY, REPLACE OR SUSPEND, FROM TIME TO TIME IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THIS SLA, ITS AUP OR PRIVACY POLICY. CURRENT COPIES OF HOSTVENOM'S MASTER SERVICE AGREEMENT, TERMS OF SERVICE, AUP AND PRIVACY POLICY MAY BE REVIEWED OR PRINTED BY CUSTOMER AT THE LEGAL SECTION OF HOSTVENOM'S WEBSITE. CUSTOMER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS READ, UNDERSTOOD AND ACCEPTED THE TERMS OF THIS SLA, THE TERMS OF SERVICE AND THE AUP. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the receipt of a Service Credit as provided for in this SLA constitutes Customer's sole and exclusive remedy, and HostVenom's sole and exclusive liability, for any failure of HostVenom Network or failure by HostVenom to provide Customer with the Products and Services purchased by Customer in accordance with the Agreement which results from a Qualified Downtime Event.
Hardware Replacement and Upgrades.
HostVenom will use reasonable efforts to replace failed hardware and hardware components at a service level within four (4) hours (not including the time required to reload the operating system or applications) after HostVenom verifies and confirms the issue is in fact caused by such failed hardware. The time taken to troubleshoot the issue is outside this SLA. In the event that HostVenom is unable to replace the failed hardware within four (4) hours from confirming the issue was caused by such failed hardware (each such event, a "Qualified Hardware Downtime Event"), Customer will be eligible for Service Credit pursuant to Section 6 below.
HostVenom will use reasonable efforts to ensure that all planned hardware upgrades will commence and be completed at a service level within four (4) hours of hardware upgrade maintenance periods that have been scheduled and confirming in advance through HostVenom customer portal (not including the time required to reload the operating system or applications). If the installation does not meet this service level, Customer will be eligible for Service Credit pursuant to Section 6 below.
HostVenom Network Availability Assurance.
HostVenom guarantees network uptime availability of 99.99% per month covered by this SLA. The HostVenom Network is powered by the latest technology and the best brands consisting of Cisco gear. We also deploy Fiber to the top of every rack to ensure your experience with HostVenom Network is the best possible. For purposes of this Agreement, the "HostVenom Network" shall mean the portion of the internal computer network owned or operated on behalf of HostVenom that extends from the outbound port on a Customer's cabinet switch to the outbound port on the border router and includes all redundant Internet connectivity, bandwidth, routers, cabling and switches. For purposes of this Agreement, redundant Internet connectivity is measured as traffic routing into and out of a Customer's equipment through the HostVenom Network out to internet backbone carriers and does not include third party carrier latency or peering issues not utilized by HostVenom.
Subject to Section 6 below, in the event that HostVenom fails to provide Customer with the Products and Services purchased by Customer in accordance with the Agreement and such failure results from the complete unavailability of the HostVenom Network or the failure of HostVenom Network to pass Customer's TCP/IP traffic with less than three percent (3%) packet loss and less than 30ms latency across the HostVenom Network (other than as specified below, each such event, a "Qualified Network Downtime Event"), HostVenom will issue Customer a Service Credit calculated pursuant to Section 4 below.
