Master Service Agreement

This Master Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) is between Subconscious, LLC (“Service Provider”) and Service Provider’s Client(s).

1. Service Fees and Billing. Client agrees to pay the monthly charges for Service, the activation and other charges indicated on the Order(s) or otherwise due hereunder (collectively, “Fees”). Fees do not include applicable taxes (if any), shipping charges (if any), all of which shall be billed in addition to the Fees and shall be the responsibility of the Client. In lieu of any similar billing, service term and/or termination clauses in the Agreement, the following terms will apply:

1.1 Initial Payment. Upon Service Provider’s acceptance of the Order and full execution of this Agreement, Client shall be invoiced for all Service Activation Charges and the first full month’s Fees which shall be due upon execution of Agreement.

1.2 Charges. Client will pay the monthly recurring charges (“MRCs”), non-recurring charges (“NRCs”), and any applicable power or per kW charges, on a breakered amp load basis, a metered usage basis, or a kilowatt basis as set forth on the Order beginning on the Service Commencement Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary including any provision in any document that indicates rates are fixed for the Initial Service Term, Subconscious may increase the rates associated with existing Service upon thirty (30) days prior written notice (i) at any time during the Service Term in order to pass through increases in underlying power utility costs; and (ii) at any time after twelve (12) months after the Service Commencement Date and each twelve (12) month period thereafter in order to implement an annual escalator of no more than 5%. In addition, Subconscious reserves the right to adjust rates at any time after expiration of the Initial Service Term due to inflation.

2. Recurring Fees. Service Provider will bill Client monthly in advance for all recurring Fees and in arrears for usage-based or non-recurring Fees. Billing for monthly Fees will begin on the earlier of: (a) the date that Client starts using the Service or installs Client Equipment in Service Provider’s premises (b) within ten (10) days after the Ready For Service Date. If, however, Client is unable to use the Services due solely to delays caused by and within the reasonable control of Service Provider, then the date on which monthly Service Fees billing begins will be extended by one day for each such day of delay.

3. Payment. Client will pay in full all invoices from Service Provider in U.S. dollars within fifteen (15) days of the date of invoice. Late payments will accrue interest at a rate of one and one-half percent (1 ½%) per month or the highest rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is lower. If payment is returned to Service Provider with insufficient funds, Client is considered to not to have paid and subject to a returned check charge of $25 and may be terminated for Nonpayment as described in 12.1.

4. Local and Long Distance Carriers. Client is responsible for ordering, maintaining, terminating and paying for any data and telecommunications circuits provided to Client by local and long-distance carriers including cross-connects from Service Provider.

5. Other Networks. Client is responsible for paying any fees, obtaining any required approvals and complying with any laws or usage policies applicable to transmitting data beyond the Network and/or through other public and private networks. Service Provider is not responsible or liable for performance or non performance of such networks or their inter-connection points.

6. NO WARRANTY. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH HEREIN, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, AND CLIENT’S USE OF THE SERVICES AND THE COLOCATION SPACE ARE AT CLIENT’S OWN RISK. SERVICE PROVIDER DOES NOT MAKE, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS, ANY AND ALL OTHER EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT AND TITLE, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE. SERVICE PROVIDER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR COMPLETELY SECURE.

7. Disclaimer of Third Party Actions and Control. Service Provider does not and cannot control the flow of data to or from the Network and other portions of the Internet. Such flow depends in large part on the performance of Internet services provided or controlled by third parties. At times, actions or inactions caused by these third parties can produce situations in which Client connections to the Internet (or portions thereof) may be impaired or disrupted. Service Provider cannot guarantee that such situations will not occur and, accordingly, Service Provider disclaims any and all liability resulting from or related to such events. In the event that Client’s use of the Service or interaction with the Internet or such third parties is causing harm to or threatens to cause harm to the Network or its operations, Service Provider shall have the right to suspend the Service. Service Provider shall restore Service at such time as it reasonably deems that there is no further harm or threat of harm to the Network or its operations.

8. Insurance. Client will keep in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement: (i) commercial general liability insurance; (ii) workers’ compensation insurance in an amount not less than that required by applicable law; and (iii) business property insurance covering Client’s equipment in the amount of its replacement value.

9.3 Damage to Client Business. In no event will Service Provider be liable for any incidental, punitive, indirect, or consequential damages (including without limitation any lost revenue or lost profits) or for any loss of technology, loss of data, or interruption or loss of use of Service or any other similar claims by Client or related to Client’s business, even if Service Provider is advised of the possibility of such damages. Service Provider will not be liable for any damages or expenses incurred by Client as a result of any deficiency, error, or defect in Service Provider’s service whether due to equipment, hardware, software, or Service Provider’s failure to correct the same.

9.4 Maximum Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Service Provider’s maximum aggregate liability to Client related to or in connection with this Agreement whether under theory of contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise will be limited to the total amount paid by Client to Service Provider for one month’s service.

11.1 Rate Adjustments. After the initial term, Subconscious has the right to increase rates by giving Client 30 days advance notice of its intention to do so (as stated in section 1.2). Client may terminate service within the 30 day period or continue to use service and pay the increased rate.

Client is responsible for any damage to the circuit breaker, wiring, electrical outlet, power strip, or other electrical equipment caused by a sustained over amperage condition.

B.5 Cross Connects. Client may run cross connects between Client’s adjacent cabinets at no charge. In addition to any cross connects between Client’s adjacent cabinets, Client may request one category 5e cross connect at no charge per Client’s nonadjacent cabinets, within Service Provider’s facility at no additional charge. Client may request cross connects at the then current rate. All cross connects to cabinets other than Client’s cabinets or between Client’s nonadjacent cabinets shall be installed solely by Service Provider and no cross connects shall be performed in any other manner or location, unless otherwise permitted by Service Provider in writing at its sole discretion. The term of the license of any such cross connects shall commence on the date of installation. Client may terminate the license of any such cross connection upon at least thirty (30) days advance written notice to Service Provider (provided that, without limiting such notice period, the effective date of termination must be the first day of a calendar month).

Subconscious and Client will work in good faith to minimize any disruption in Client’s services that may be caused by changes in location or configuration of the Space. If any change (e.g., any changes in the configuration, build-out of the Space) at Client’s request after submission of the Order and Subconscious’s acceptance of such Order results in a delay of Subconscious’s delivery of Space, billing for Space will commence no later than the original Client Commit Date or Service Commencement Date, as applicable.

B.8 Prohibited Uses. Client shall not do or allow any use which in the opinion of Service Provider (a) causes or is likely to cause damage or constitutes a nuisance or annoyance to the facility, equipment, personnel, or other Clients (b) would violate a condition of standard fire insurance policy for data processing centers in California (c) would violate any certificate of occupancy for the building.
