You must use reasonable security precautions in connection with your use of the Services. You must comply with the laws applicable to your use of the Services and with the Acceptable Use Policy.

Each of us agrees to work together to promptly resolve any disputes.
5. PROMISES WE DO NOT MAKE
5.1 We do not promise that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure. You acknowledge that there are risks inherent in Internet connectivity that could result in the loss of your privacy, Confidential Information and property.
5.2 We disclaim any and all warranties not expressly stated in the Agreement to the maximum extent permitted by law, including the implied warranties relating to satisfactory quality and fitness for a particular purpose. You are solely responsible for the suitability of the services chosen. Any services that we are not contractually obligated to provide but that we may perform for you at your request and without any additional charge are provided on an ‘AS IS’ basis.
5.3 We do not have knowledge of the data you store within your Hosted System, including the quantity, value or use of the data. You are therefore responsible to take all reasonable steps to mitigate the risks inherent in the provision of the Services, including loss of your data, including any PII (as defined in the applicable Product Terms and Conditions) or “cardholder data” as that term is defined in the Payment Card Industry-Data Security Standard.

6. UNAUTHORISED ACCESS TO YOUR DATA OR USE OF THE SERVICES
GreenWeb is not responsible to you or any third party for unauthorised access to your data or the unauthorised use of the Services unless the unauthorised access or use results from GreenWeb’s failure to meet its security obligations stated in Section 3 (Our Obligations) of these General Terms and Conditions or the Services Description. You are responsible for the use of the Services by any employee of yours, any person you authorise 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 authorised by you.
7. TAXES ON SERVICES
7.1 Sales Taxes. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement or included in the invoice for the services, all amounts due to GreenWeb under the Agreement are exclusive of any value added, goods, services, sales, use, property, excise and like taxes, import duties and/or applicable levies (collectively, “Tax”). If GreenWeb is required by law to collect Taxes on the provision of the Service, GreenWeb will invoice you for such Tax and you must pay GreenWeb the amount of the Tax that is due or provide GreenWeb with satisfactory evidence of your exemption from the Tax. The obligation to pay any Taxes that Customer may be required to pay in connection with Customer’s use of Services or Customer’s payment of amounts due to GreenWeb under the Agreement shall be borne exclusively by Customer. You must provide GreenWeb with accurate factual and adequate information and documentation (as determined by GreenWeb), to help GreenWeb determine if any Tax is due with respect to the provision of the Services.
7.2 Withholding Taxes. All payments to GreenWeb shall be made without any withholding or deduction for any Taxes, except for any withholding (or similar) taxes imposed on income that may be attributed to GreenWeb in connection with its provision of the Services that you are legally required to withhold from such payment and remit to the applicable governmental or taxing authority (such taxes, “Local Withholding Taxes”). You agree to timely provide GreenWeb with adequate and accurate factual information and documentation (as determined by GreenWeb), including tax receipts, of your payment of any such Local Withholding Taxes. GreenWeb shall remit such cost to you in the form of a credit on your outstanding account balance following receipt of sufficient evidence of payment of any such Local Withholding Taxes as set forth above.

Without limitation, you represent and warrant and undertake that you will not provide administrative access to or permit use of the Services by any persons (including any natural person, government or private entity or other form of body corporate) that is located in or is a national of any country that is embargoed or highly restricted under United Kingdom or US export laws, rules or regulations.

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 negligence, breach of law, failure to meet the security obligations required by the Agreement, breach of the AUP, breach of your agreement with your customers or end users, or breach 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 legal fees) and any damages award, fine or other amount that is imposed on the Indemnitees as a result of the claim.

16. SOFTWARE
16.1 General. You may not copy any software we provide for your use, unless expressly permitted by this Agreement or use such software after the expiration or termination of the Agreement. You may not remove, modify or obscure any copyright, trade mark, 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 licence, 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 GreenWeb. In addition to the terms of this Agreement, your use of any Microsoft® software is governed by Microsoft’s licence terms that appear at:
www.GreenWeb.com.bd/microsoftlicense.htm including use restrictions on Microsoft software that is provided for your use under a subscriber access licence or “SAL” or an “anonymous” licence as indicated in your Services Description.
16.2 Customer Provided Licences. If you use any non-GreenWeb provided software on your Hosted System you represent and warrant to GreenWeb that you have the legal right to use the software in that manner. If we have agreed to install, patch or otherwise manage software for you in reliance on your licence with a software vendor (rather than GreenWeb’s licence with the software vendor), then you represent and warrant that you have a written licence agreement with the software vendor that permits GreenWeb to perform these activities. On GreenWeb’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. If you fail to provide the required evidence of licensing, GreenWeb may, at its option, either:
16.2.1. charge you its standard fee for the use of the software in reliance on GreenWeb’s licensing agreement with the vendor until such time as the required evidence is provided; or
16.2.2. suspend or terminate the Agreement.
Your licensed software may not be compatible with our standard process for deploying and repairing Hosted Systems. In addition, in order to install the software, GreenWeb may require you to send the physical or electronic media provided to you by the software vendor, both for deployment, and again in the event of a failure of your Hosted System. You agree that GreenWeb will not be in breach of any Service Level Guarantee or other obligation under this Agreement that would not have occurred but for the delay resulting from our agreement to use your licensed software.
17. RECOMMENDATIONS
GreenWeb personnel may from time to time recommend third party software or other products and services for your consideration. GreenWeb MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER REGARDING SUCH PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. Your use of any products and services not provided by GreenWeb is governed by the terms of your agreement with the provider of those products and services, and is at your sole risk. GreenWeb is not responsible in any way for the third party product’s performance, features nor failures
18. WHO MAY USE THE SERVICES
You may permit your subsidiaries and affiliated companies to use the Services if you wish, however you are responsible for the acts or omissions of your permitted users. GreenWeb 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 the Agreement.
19. DATAPROTECTION
Each of us agrees to comply with our respective obligations under the Data Protection Act 1998 (the “Act”) as applicable to personal data that it controls or processes as part of, or in connection with, its use or provision of the Services. Specifically, but without limitation, you must comply with the Act as it relates to personal data that you store or transfer using your Hosted System. You agree that, subject to the requirements of this paragraph and GreenWeb’s obligations stated in Section 30 (Assignment,Subcontractors), GreenWeb may give its affiliates and subcontractors outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) access to personal data you store on your Hosted System. For example, we may provide our US affiliates with access to your Hosted System so that the US affiliate may provide Support to you during our off office hours in the UK.
We agree that we will not provide access to personal data that you store on your Hosted System to any subcontractor or affiliate outside of the EEA unless that person meets the requirements stated below during the entire time that it has access to the personal data:
19.1 for personal data for which we are a “controller” under the Act, the affiliate or subcontractor to whom we transfer the personal data (i) is located in a country for which the European Commission has made a positive finding of adequacy, (ii) is located in the United States and has certified to the United States Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Safe Harbour framework developed by the United States Department of Commerce in coordination with the European Union, or (iii) has signed the standard contractual model clauses for the transfer of personal data from either: (a) GreenWeb to a processor, or (b) GreenWeb to a controller who is based in a country outside the EEA that is not recognised as offering an adequate level of data protection; and
19.2 for personal data for which we are a “processor” under the Act, the affiliate or subcontractor that has access to the Hosted System has signed a data processing agreement with us. We
have such an agreement in place with GreenWeb US, Inc., and have posted a signed copy of that agreement at www.GreenWeb.com.bd/subprocessing.php
20. DATA CENTRES
We are constantly upgrading our data centre facilities and in order for you to benefit from this, you agree that we may relocate your servers within our data centres, make changes to the provision of the Services, URLs and your IP addresses and may establish new procedures for the use of the Services. We may also make changes to DNS records and zones on GreenWeb operated or managed DNS servers as we deem necessary for the operation of the shared network infrastructure. In each case, we will give you reasonable advance notice and use all reasonable endeavours to minimise the effect that such change will have on your use of the Services.
21. SERVICES MANAGEMENT AGENT
You agree that you will not interfere with any services management software agent(s) that GreenWeb installs on your Hosted System. GreenWeb agrees that its agents will use only a minimal amount of computing resources, and will not interfere with your use of your Hosted System. GreenWeb will use the agents to track the hardware and software that GreenWeb provides, so that it can more efficiently manage various service issues, such as patching exceptions and product life cycles. GreenWeb may also use the software to identify security vulnerabilities. GreenWeb 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 service management software agents. You agree that GreenWeb may access your Hosted System to reinstall services management software agents if you disable or interfere with their performance.
22. NOTICES
Your routine communications to GreenWeb regarding the Services, including any notice of non-renewal, should be sent to your GreenWeb account team using the MyGreenWeb portal. If you want to give a notice regarding termination of the Agreement for breach, indemnification, or other non-routine legal matter, you should send it by electronic mail :
GreenWeb’s routine communications regarding the Services and legal notices will be posted on the MyGreenWeb portal or sent to the individual(s) you designate as your contact(s) on your account either by electronic mail (including an electronic mail referring you to a ticket posted on your MyGreenWeb portal), first class post, or overnight courier. Notices are deemed received as of the time posted or delivered, or if that time does not fall on a Business Day, as of the beginning of the first Business Day following the time posted or delivered. For purposes of counting days for notice periods, the Business Day on which the notice is deemed received counts as the first day. Notices must be given in the English language.
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. Any intellectual property developed by GreenWeb during the performance of the Service(s) shall belong to GreenWeb unless we have agreed with you in advance in writing that you shall have an interest in the intellectual property.
24. OWNERSHIP OF OTHER PROPERTY
You do not acquire any ownership interest in or right to possess the Hosted System, and you have no right of physical access to the Hosted System. We do not acquire any ownership interest in or right to the information you transmit to or from or store on your GreenWeb servers or other devices or media.
25. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT
If GreenWeb or any of its customers is faced with a credible claim that the Services infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party, and GreenWeb is not reasonably able to obtain the right to use the infringing element or modify the Services such that they do not infringe, then GreenWeb 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 that GreenWeb may assign the Agreement to an Affiliate with sufficient financial standing in order to meet its obligations under this Agreement or as part of a bona fide corporate reorganisation or a sale of its business. We may transfer your Confidential Information as part of any such transaction. GreenWeb may use third party service providers to perform all or any part of the Services, but GreenWeb remains responsible to you under this Agreement for Services performed by its third party service providers to the same extent as if GreenWeb performed the Services itself.
27. FORCE MAJEURE
Neither of us will be in breach 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 organised labour 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 English law and each of us expressly and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales except that GreenWeb may seek to enforce any judgment anywhere in the world where you may have assets. Each of us agrees that it will not bring a claim under the Agreement more than two (2) years after the event giving rise to the claim occurred.
33. SOME AGREEMENT MECHANICS
33.1 Changes to Terms on Website. 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 GreenWeb website. Although we may from time to time revise the General Terms and Conditions, Product Terms and Country Specific Terms posted on these pages, those revisions will not vary the Agreement until the first day of any renewal or extended term that follows the date that we publish 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.
33.2 Modifications. Unless otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement, the General Terms and Conditions, Product Terms, and Country Specific Terms 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 GreenWeb ticketing system, that includes the express consent of an authorised individual for each of us. The pre-printed terms on your purchase order or other business forms will not become part of this Agreement.
33.3 The Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter and supersedes and replaces any prior understanding or communication, written or oral. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, promise or representation made or given by or on behalf of GreenWeb which is not set out in the Agreement.
33. 4 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: signature page for the Hosting Services Agreement, Country Specific Terms (if any), Services Description, Product Terms, any addendum to the General Terms and Conditions, the General Terms and Conditions, and the Acceptable Use Policy.
33.5 Unenforceable Provisions. 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.
33.6 No Waiver. Each party may enforce its respective rights under the Agreement even if it has waived the right or failed to enforce the same or other rights in the past.
33.7 No Partnership. The relationship between the parties is that of independent contractors and not business partners. Neither party is the agent for the other, and neither party has the right to bind the other to any agreement with a third party.
33.8 Interpretation. 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” refer to GreenWeb unless the context clearly indicates another meaning.
33.9 Survival.
