Master Services Agreement (MSA)

1. Legal

This Master Services Agreement (MSA) is executed between the Client and Phoenix NAP, LLC (PNAP). This MSA is accompanied by the following addenda:

Privacy Shield-Compliant Policy (PP)
Colo Service Addendum (CSA)
Hardware as a Service Addendum (HaaS)
Managed Service Addendum (MS)
Service Level Agreement Addendum (SLA)
Bare Metal Addendum (BMA)
Security Service Addendum (SSA)
Cloud Enterprise Addendum (CEM)
Contracting Party Addendum (CPA)
PCI DSS Addendum
Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)

The MSA and these addenda govern services that PNAP provides, and define the terms of the basic MSA between Client and PNAP. PNAP offers many services, some of which require auxiliary agreements. These documents provide the fundamental terms for each respective service, and/or any additional services that Client would like PNAP to provide. Some addenda may not be applicable to all Client engagements but are included for reference for future services. Client may locate these addenda at https://www.phoenixnap.com/cs/legal for review.

2. Acceptance

Client accepts this MSA by clicking or checking an acceptance option provided on our web site, electronically signing an order form or addendum, or installing and using any of the provided services or products. By accepting these services Client is agreeing that:

Client accepts the MSA entirely as it relates to the services Client is requesting.
Client agrees that Client is bound by the MSA.
This MSA, the SOW, PP, SLA, CPA, RM and AUP are binding and enforceable obligations.

If Client does not agree with any of these statements, Client SHOULD NOT sign, click or check acceptance options, install, or use any services.

3. Fees, Billing, and Payment Terms

Client agrees to pay all undisputed fees, costs, and charges as outlined in this MSA and the Client Service Order Form (SOF) for services provided to Client during the term of this MSA. PNAP will provide Client with the services listed on the SOF and gives Client a license to use and occupy the Client services/Area for permitted purposes.
Additional services and/or space in the facility are available, for a fee; these additions, if any, shall be recorded in a new SOF or a Change Order.
PNAP will bill Client monthly by sending Client an invoice. Payment for e non recurring charges are due, in full and in advance of the Commencement Date. Other monthly recurring charges and fees on the invoice must be paid within 30 (thirty) days of Clients receipt of the invoice.
Client must dispute an error to PNAP, in writing, within 30 (thirty) days of the receipt of the invoice. Undisputed fees still must be paid on time.
PNAP only accepts US Dollars for payment. Payment may be made via check or money order mailed to our address (at the end of this document), or may be made by any electronic method made available in the control panel.
Delinquent payments can harm Client credit with PNAP, and PNAP may require Client payment terms to be modified—possibly requiring a security deposit (initially or an increase to), automatic payments, or payments prior to provisioning.
If a security deposit is required, PNAP stores the funds in our general account. PNAP does not pay interest on security deposits, and PNAP only draw on the funds if Client becomes past due in an obligation to PNAP. Client will need to replenish the security deposit promptly if PNAP has to draw against it. PNAP will refund the security deposit to Client within 60 (sixty) days of the termination of the MSA with each other as long as Client's account is paid in full.
Occasionally, a utility provider might change the amounts that they charge PNAP for power delivery, resulting an increased cost for power delivery that is passed on to Client. PNAP will use commercially reasonable efforts to inform Client of the increase in utility charges.
PNAP may provide third party software solutions to Client. In the event a 3rd party software solution provider changes the amounts that they charge PNAP, resulting in increased cost for such software, PNAP will pass this increase cost on to Client.
If Client orders something from PNAP that requires a cost or expense to be incurred by PNAP and Client pre-approved those expenses or those expenses are otherwise specified in this MSA, Client will be required to reimburse PNAP for those expenses or costs. PNAP will issue and invoice to Client in the subsequent billing cycle for any such reimbursement.
If PNAP or Client dispute any aspect of this MSA and litigation is initiated, the prevailing party will be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred by it in connection with the legal process. Collection fees incurred by PNAP are included in this provision.
License fees may change from time to time and fee increases are effective after the end of each term on the (yearly) anniversary of the date PNAP started billing Client as provided on the SOW.
An Early Termination Fee (ETF) equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the remaining contractual balance shall be assessed to Client in the event Client chooses early termination.

4. Term and Termination

This entire MSA is effective for the duration of the initial term listed on Client SOF and any subsequent renewal terms.
The Commencement Date listed on the SOF is the date that the initial term begins. If services are not delivered to Client, for any reason, by the Commencement Date, the date of delivery of services becomes the new Commencement Date.
If Client orders multiple services contained on one SOF, those items may be delivered on different dates. In this instance the Commencement Date is the actual date of delivery of each specific item, which can result in multiple Commencement Dates on one SOF. Such changes may or may not result in adjustments to License Fees or other charges. Upon mutual agreement, cessation of services provided under varied commencement dates shall be co-terminus.
This MSA shall be in force for the initial term from the commencement date as provided in the Service Order Form (SOF) and any subsequent renewal term(s). Either party will have the right to terminate this MSA by giving at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other party to terminate the MSA at the end of the then current term.
