April
15, 2006
1.
USE OF THIS
BACKUP
Service (the
"Service") consists of the right of a Subscriber of the
Service ("Subscriber") to electronically transmit and
store computer data using either a private data
communications network, or the Internet into a location
maintained by OffsiteSecureBackup.com ("Company") and to
retrieve said data should they be required.
The Service is made available by the Company to
Subscriber during the period Subscriber maintains a paid
subscription to the Service. Subscriber must be a
currently licensed user of Company's software for
Services where software is required to provision access.
The Company agrees to provide this storage and
restoration services of the Client’s files by use of the
software provided. Ancillary services may be provided at
the Clients election.
2. The
Client agrees to qualify for Company services by means
of a valid credit card, check, financial statement,
other fiduciary review or prepayment of annual or
semi-annual or quarterly service fees. The contract
shall be for the term of 30 days beginning on the date
of the initiation of service to the Client, renewing
automatically until terminated by either party. See
Termination below.
3. The
monthly service charges are paid in advance.
The Company will provide a
detailed quote to the Client, at the time of signing up
for the Service, based on the type and extent of service
required by the Client. A fee is
charged for billing monthly by mail. See Rates &
Services for fee schedule. A
Client’s monthly service charges depend on the type of
services and the total amount of storage needed to
backup Client’s data. If a Client
uses more than allocated limit but less than maximum
agreed limit, the client will be charged for the extra
storage according to the over-the-limit rates at that
time. The Company will publish
through their website or notify the Client by email the
prevailing over-the-limit rates.
Similarly, if the Company provides extra services during
a month, the charges for those services will be added to
that month’s invoice.
Clients with delinquent
accounts will be denied access to backup and restore
services. After a period of 90 days the files of any
delinquent Client shall be deleted from the Company’s
server after written notice by email to the latest
Client email address known by the Company.
4. The
Company claims that by using the Service a Client
increases the probability of restoring lost, damaged or
stolen files. However, the Company
makes no guarantee or warranty that the system and
services will avert, avoid or prevent the loss of files,
data or information or the consequences therefore, which
the system or service is designed to provide due to any
combination of natural disasters, technological failures
and/or human activities.
5.
Because of the nature of the services rendered and the
system as a whole, it is impractical and extremely
difficult to fix the actual damages, if any, which may
result from failure on the part of the Company to
perform its responsibilities under this contract. The
Client does not desire this contract to provide full
liability for loss, damage or injury due directly or
indirectly to occurrences or consequences therefore,
which the service or system is designed to deter or
avert. In the event the Company should be found liable
for loss, damage or injury due to a failure of the
equipment, software or services provided under this
Agreement or the equipment in any respect, its liability
shall be limited to $100.00, as the agreed upon
liquidated damages and not as a penalty. Such liquidated
damages is the exclusive remedy for any failure of
services, software or equipment, and the provisions of
this paragraph shall apply if loss, damage or injury,
irrespective of cause or origin, results directly or
indirectly to a person or property from the performance
or non performance of any obligation of the Company from
negligence, active or otherwise, of the Company, its
agents or employees. If the Client desires additional
liability coverage, it shall be his responsibility to
secure it from an insurance carrier or other agency of
his choice, at his own expense. The Client shall bring
no suit against the Company more than one year after the
event or occurrence of the cause of action therefore.
6.
Notwithstanding the terms and conditions set forth
herein, Company may, at any time, increase the fees and
charges upon giving the Client notice in writing. In the
event the Client shall be unwilling to pay the increased
monthly charge, the Client may terminate this agreement
upon giving notice in writing to the Company.
7. The
Company shall have the right to assign this Agreement to
any person, firm or corporation. The Client may assign
this Agreement with written notice to the Company,
including the proper billing instructions for the new
Client. Such Client assignment shall be effective upon
the Company’s approval of the new entity’s credit card,
financial statement or with prepayment of fees, which
approval shall not unreasonably be withheld.
8. The
Client is responsible for the cost and maintenance of
all telephone or other communication circuits required
for data file transmission and system access. All data
files are transmitted over communication company
circuits, which are wholly beyond the control and
jurisdiction of the Company and are maintained by the
communications companies engaged for service by the
Client. If these communication circuits are not
functional for any reason, the data files may not
accurately or completely reach the Company’s facility or
equipment. The Company cannot be responsible for the
continued operation or functioning of these
communication circuits nor the reliability of the data
files being received over them.
9. Either
party may terminate this Agreement by written notice
thirty–days (30) in advance. In the event of non-payment
of fees the Company may terminate service with a 10-day
email notice to the latest available email address.
10. The
individual signing this Agreement for the Client
warrants that he/she has the authority to sign this
Agreement and permit the installation of equipment and
systems described herein, as well as the authority to
contract for the services provided herein.
11. This
document, with specified addenda, is a complete
agreement. Any representation, promise, condition,
inducement or warranty, expressed or implied, verbal or
written, unless expressed in writing in this Agreement
or any Addendum thereto, shall not bind either party and
the terms and conditions hereof apply as printed without
alteration or qualifications except as specifically
endorsed thereon in writing. A judicial determination
nullifying any clause or condition herein shall not be
deemed to nullify the balance of this Agreement, which
shall remain in full force and effect.
12. This
Agreement shall not be binding upon the Company unless
accepted by an officer of the Company. In the event of
Non-Approval, the sole liability of the Company shall be
to refund to the customer any amount that has been paid
by the customer as part of this Agreement.
