This Agreement takes effect when you click an “I Accept” button or checkbox presented with these terms or, if earlier when you use any of the Service Offerings (the “Effective Date”). You represent to us that you are lawfully able to enter into contracts (e.g., you are not a minor). If you are entering into this Agreement for an entity, such as the company you work for, you represent to us that you have the legal authority to bind that entity.

1.1. Your Account. To access the Services, contact sales at [email protected], as you must have an OUTSCALE INC. account associated with a valid email address and a valid form of payment. If we detect an anomaly suggesting that the information provided is incorrect or erroneous (if any reasonable person who was placed in the same situation as us would consider such information as erroneous), or as otherwise required by law, we shall initiate the verification procedure described below:

1) We shall send an email to you to inform you that an anomaly is detected.

2) You shall have two (2) hours to acknowledge receipt of this e-mail and provide corrections or provide the supporting documents requested by us with a view to verifying the information provided.

3) If you fail to act within this deadline, we may take any measures that we consider necessary to ensure the security of the Infrastructure (as defined below), and in this regard, we may carry out or have carried out any investigations to identify you, verify the use made of the resources made available to you and more generally we may do whatever is necessary to ensure that your use of the Services and Infrastructure is not against the law.

4) During the verification procedure, if we consider it necessary, we may suspend your account or limit your activity. If you fail to respond or to provide the information requested or conclusive supporting documents, we may terminate the Agreement, without notice, by sending an e-mail or SMS to the mobile telephone number provided upon registration.

As the case may be, at the end of the registration process, you shall receive confirmation of the opening of its account.

For any discontinuation of or material change to an API for a Service, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue supporting the previous version of such API for twelve (12) months after the change or discontinuation (except if doing so (a) would pose a security or intellectual property issue, (b) is economically or technically burdensome, or (c) would cause us to violate the law or requests of governmental entities).

1) Ownership of the technologies used to provide the Services. This Agreement shall not include any assignment or transfer of intellectual and/or industrial property rights (i.e. patent) used for the provision of the Services (TINA OS in particular) which belong to OUTSCALE INC. Furthermore, it is stipulated that you are strictly prohibited from reproducing any of the elements used to supply the Services; computer code, texts, images, design, graphics chart, ergonomics, documentation etc. as well as seek to reconstitute the technologies belonging to OUTSCALE INC. or its Service Provider, in particular by means of reverse engineering. OUTSCALE INC., its Service Providers and any applicable third parties license to you, on a personal and non-exclusive basis, the rights to the above elements solely as is necessary to use the Services and solely for the duration of said Services, this license ending automatically at the same time as the Services.

2) Ownership of your Systems and Data. All the elements making up your Systems and Data shall remain the property of you in all circumstances. This Agreement does not assign us intellectual and/or industrial (patent) property rights.

3) Trademarks belonging to OUTSCALE INC. and you. Each party agrees not to act in any way that might be damaging either directly or indirectly to each other’s trademarks, provided that OUTSCALE INC. may cite you as a reference and to you mentioning that you use the OUTSCALE INC. Services. However, each party hereto, without having to give its reasons, may ask the other party not to make reference to it any longer.

4.5. CLIENT Data. OUTSCALE INC. has no access to CLIENT Data. Except as is strictly necessary to provide the Services, OUTSCALE INC.’s Service Providers do not access CLIENT Data. OUTSCALE INC. and its Service Providers strictly manage the physical storage of CLIENT Data and do not look at CLIENT logical storage, whatever the nature of CLIENT Data and in particular Personal Data.

4.6. Personal Data.

2) You acknowledge that you are responsible for the collection, purpose and use of the Personal Data pursuant to this Agreement. OUTSCALE Inc.’s only obligations are to process the Personal Data pursuant to your written instructions. You represent that the collection, use, transfer and storage of the Personal Data pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are in compliance with applicable Legislation.

3) You are responsible for taking the appropriate technical and organizational measures to guarantee a level of security that is adapted to any risk.

4.7. Confidentiality. You acknowledge that all the data, calculations, specifications, software and other knowledge or information of a technical, industrial, financial or commercial nature, which you shall receive in the context of the Services, are of a strictly confidential nature. Consequently, you agree (i) not to communicate such information to anyone, without written authorization; (ii) to take all appropriate measures with regard to such information to avoid and prevent its disclosure; (iii) not to directly or indirectly make any other use of this information other than the processing carried out in the context of the Services: (iv) to limit the communication of this information solely to members of your personnel who must be informed in the context of the Services and to guarantee the respect of these commitments as necessary. Upon the termination of the Services, for any reason including, as the case may be, early termination, to promptly return all the elements and documents constituting this information in your possession and not to keep any copy, extract or reproduction in any form whatsoever. These commitments shall remain in force as long as this information has not fallen into the public domain, and in any event, for up to 5 (five) years after the end of the Services. These confidentiality obligations shall not apply to information which was already known to the public or to the receiving party at the time of its communication or which subsequently became known, without any fault on the part of the receiving party.

5. Your Responsibilities.

5.1. Your Accounts. Except to the extent caused by our breach of this Agreement, (a) you are responsible for all activities that occur under your account, regardless of whether the activities are authorized by you or undertaken by you, your employees or a third party (including your contractors, agents or End Users), and (b) we and our affiliates are not responsible for unauthorized access to your account.

5.2. Your Content. You will ensure that Your Content and your and End Users’ use of Your Content or the Service Offerings will not violate any of the Policies or any applicable law. You are solely responsible for the development, content, operation, maintenance, and use of Your Content.

5.3. Your Security and Backup. You are responsible for properly configuring and using the Service Offerings and to otherwise take appropriate action to secure, protect and backup your accounts and Your Content in a manner that will provide appropriate security and protection, to include (i) the use of encryption to protect Your Content from unauthorized access and (ii) routinely archiving Your Content.

5.4. Log-In Credentials and Account Keys. OUTSCALE INC. log-in credentials and private keys generated by the Services are for your internal use only and you will not sell, transfer or sublicense them to any other entity or person, except that you may disclose your private key to your agents and subcontractors performing work on your behalf.

5.5. End Users. You will be deemed to have taken any action that you permit, assist or facilitate any person or entity to take related to this Agreement, Your Content or use of the Service Offerings. You are responsible for End Users’ use of Your Content and the Service Offerings. You will ensure that all End Users comply with your obligations under this Agreement and that the terms of your agreement with each End User are consistent with this Agreement. If you become aware of any violation of your obligations under this Agreement caused by an End User, you will immediately suspend access to Your Content and the Service Offerings by such End User. We do not provide any support or services to End Users unless we have a separate agreement with you or an End User obligating us to provide such support or services.

5.6. Duty of Care Obligation. You must operate the Virtual Machines and/or Object Storage Facilities made available by OUTSCALE INC., in a responsible manner. You must ensure compliance with OUTSCALE INC. policies applicable to the Services, including adherence to the guarantee payment terms. By express agreement you alone are liable from a legal and technical standpoint for your system (including the Data, regardless of origin), domain names, SSL certificates, and for the log management of its system in accordance with the law, etc. You shall comply with all applicable Legislation with respect to Data and respect all legal obligations pertaining to a website that is open to the public. You shall endanger the Infrastructure or the Virtual Machines/Object Storage Facilities of other clients. If OUTSCALE INC. identifies operations that are malevolent activities originating from one or several of your Virtual Machines (such as “flood”, “scan”, “spam”, “denial of service”, etc.), OUTSCALE INC. may immediately block the incriminated Virtual Machines, or even all the Services, without prejudice to OUTSCALE INC.’s right to initiate the termination procedure and claim damages. You shall not be released from the above-mentioned obligations if the violation was committed by one of your users. You shall take all the necessary measures to prevent such violations from being committed, and to limit the consequences, if they were to occur, despite the precautions taken. You shall indemnify OUTSCALE INC. in full for any Losses or legal sanctions that result due to a breach of this Article.

5.7. Co-operation Obligation. You shall cooperate with OUTSCALE INC. in good faith with the appropriate performance of the Services, and proactively communicate any relative information or dysfunction. You agree to appoint a Manager with the technical skills and the legal capacity necessary to: authorize/manage the extensions to the scope of the Services, work on the Virtual Machines; manage your account; and ensure all payment information is valid. Furthermore, if you are intending to launch a marketing or communication operation, an audit of your Systems, etc., likely to cause a significant increase in the use of your resources (bandwidth, memory or calculation), it shall be responsible – as part of your duty to cooperate – for informing OUTSCALE INC. prior to the launching of said operation, and within a reasonable period, in order to avoid this sudden increase in activity being analyzed as a security fault resulting in the possible temporary suspension of your System.

5.8. Acceptance obligation. As a result of the continuous nature of the Services provided and the existence of continuous monitoring made available to you, an acceptance system shall be set up for the Services, called “as you go”. All the Services provided by OUTSCALE INC. are therefore provisionally accepted by you in line with its use of these Services. Final acceptance is pronounced automatically forty-eight (48) hours after the provisional acceptance by you unless you notify OUTSCALE INC., by an email within forty-eight (48) hours of the provisional acceptance, of the existence of a substantiated reservation regarding the Service. This notification must document the reservation formulated: date, time of the start and finish of the unavailability period justified by the tools available via “Cockpit” and “Status”. No reservation may be formulated beyond the period mentioned above. The lack of documentation to back up the reservation formulated shall be considered as a lifting of the reservation.

5.9. Fees and Payment.

1) Service Fees. We calculate and bill fees and charges monthly. We may bill you more frequently for fees accrued if we suspect that your account is fraudulent or at risk of non-payment. You will pay us the applicable fees and charges for use of the Service Offerings as described on the OUTSCALE INC. website (the “Site”) using one of the payment methods we support. All amounts payable by you under this Agreement will be paid to us without setoff or counterclaim and without any deduction or withholding. Fees and charges for any new Service or new feature of a Service will be effective when we post updated fees and charges on the OUTSCALE INC. Site unless we expressly state otherwise in a notice. We may increase or add new fees and charges for any existing Services you are using by giving you at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice. We may elect to charge you interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) on all late payments.

2) Taxes. Each party will be responsible, as required under applicable law, for identifying and paying all taxes and other governmental fees and charges (and any penalties, interest, and other additions thereto) that are imposed on that party upon or with respect to the transactions and payments under this Agreement. All fees payable by you are exclusive of Indirect Taxes. We may charge and you will pay applicable Indirect Taxes that we are legally obligated or authorized to collect from you. You will provide such information to us as reasonably required to determine whether we are obligated to collect Indirect Taxes from you. We will not collect, and you will not pay, any Indirect Tax for which you furnish us a properly completed exemption certificate or a direct payment permit certificate for which we may claim an available exemption from such Indirect Tax. All payments made by you to us under this Agreement will be made free and clear of any deduction or withholding, as may be required by law. If any such deduction or withholding (including but not limited to cross-border withholding taxes) is required on any payment, you will pay such additional amounts as are necessary so that the net amount received by us is equal to the amount then due and payable under this Agreement. We will provide you with such tax forms as are reasonably requested in order to reduce or eliminate the amount of any withholding or deduction for taxes in respect of payments made under this Agreement.

3) General pricing. The price of the Services as defined in the Special Terms and Conditions or public pricing shown on the OUTSCALE INC. Site shall apply. Invoices are issued monthly for Services On-Demand and in advance for certain Services (reserved instances, etc.). Intermediary invoices may be issued if consumption exceeds usual practices. Invoices are payable via credit card. The minimum monthly invoicing corresponds to one hour per type of Virtual Machine or resource used, even if the accounting for the use is on a billing-per-second basis. The prices shall be listed, excluding taxes, with value added tax and any other taxes applicable added thereafter. The price of all the Services may be revised at any time. You agree to receive invoices by email.

6. Temporary Suspension.

6.1. Generally. We may suspend your or any End User’s right to access or use all or any portion of the Service Offerings immediately upon notice to you if we determine:

1) your or an End User’s use of the Service Offerings (i) poses a security risk to the Service Offerings or any third party, (ii) could adversely impact the INFRASTRUCTURE, our systems, the Service Offerings or the systems or Content of any third party or other OUTSCALE INC. customer, (iii) could subject us, our affiliates, or any third party to liability, (iv) could be fraudulent; or (v) upon the demand of a legal authority (in particular judicial) involving your use of the Services.

2) you are, or we suspect, any End User is, in breach of this Agreement.

3) you are in breach of your payment obligations under Section 5; or

4) you have ceased to operate in the ordinary course, made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar disposition of your assets, or become the subject of any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceeding.

6.2. Effect of Suspension. If we suspend or block your right to access or use any portion or all of the Service Offerings:

1) you remain responsible for all fees and charges you incur during the period of suspension, and.

2) you will not be entitled to any service credits, if applicable under the Service Level Agreements for any period of suspension.

Once you have been blocked, you will no longer have access to the Services, CLIENT Data or the network. If a legal authority has requested the block, and the law obliges us to keep the Services blocked for a certain time and/or until a decision is reached and/or any other event, we will comply. Otherwise, we may:

i. Keep the resources blocked until the reasons for the blockage have disappeared.

ii. At any time, and without unblocking the resources, notify you by email of the termination of the Agreement within ten (10) business days, you can then require our “Customer Service” to return Client Data to it in the conditions set forth in Article 6.4 if you wish to keep Client Data, failing which said Data will be irrevocably destroyed.

iii. You may also serve notice of immediate termination to OUTSCALE INC. by sending an email to [email protected]

iv. The termination of the Agreement is without prejudice to any damages which OUTSCALE INC. may claim from you in the event of the breach of your commitments. The Services shall be invoiced despite the suspension of the Services, except in the case whereby OUTSCALE INC. incorrectly suspended the Services.

6.3. Recovery of CLIENT Data by you if you have access to your resources. When the Agreement is terminated, for whatever reason and irrespective of whether the initiative for termination lies with you or with OUTSCALE INC., you must immediately recover all your data hosted at OUTSCALE INC. and store it elsewhere before the effective Termination Date. As of the effective Termination Date (at midnight, Eastern Standard Time): you will no longer have access to CLIENT Data and said Data may be irrevocably destroyed by OUTSCALE INC. The fact that the Termination Date is not a working day does not postpone the termination.

6.4. Recovery of its Data by you if you do not have access to your resources. When the Agreement is terminated, for whatever reason and irrespective of whether the initiative for termination lies with you or with OUTSCALE INC., if you wish to recover your Data and cannot retrieve it yourself since you no longer have access to your resources (Such as Virtual Machines, Object Storage Service, etc.) you must immediately order a Data Retrieval Service from OUTSCALE INC. before the effective Termination Date. You cannot order this Data Retrieval Service if your billing is not up to date. You must, therefore, pay all amounts owed to OUTSCALE INC. before the effective Termination Date. The Data Retrieval Service order is sent by email to [email protected] the OUTSCALE INC. “Customer Service” which issues a quote. If you accept the quote, your data is retrieved by OUTSCALE INC. and then sent to you upon payment of the Data Recovery Service charge. As of the effective Termination Date (at midnight, Eastern Standard Time) your Data may be irrevocably destroyed by OUTSCALE INC., whether or not you have ordered a Data Retrieval Service. The fact that the Termination Date is not a business day does not postpone the termination.

6.5. Conservation of data. In the event of termination of the Agreement, for whatever reason, CLIENT Data will be retained for up to 7 (seven) years. You recognize that OUTSCALE INC. is not able to proceed with the complete deletion of all Client Data that you may have shared with other clients in particular by means of OMI sharing or disk images, as long as another CLIENT is using the shared data and that it is up to you not to share (i) confidential or sensitive information, (ii) information belonging to third parties, or (iii) Personal Data. You shall hold OUTSCALE INC. harmless against any Losses, on whatever grounds, following any breach of this provision by you.

7. Term; Termination.

7.1. Term. The term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will automatically renew for successive one (1) year periods unless terminated under this Section 7. Any notice of termination of this Agreement by either party to the other must include a Termination Date that complies with the notice periods in Section 7.2.

7.2. Termination.

1) Each of the parties may terminate Agreements for On Demand Services at any time, without indemnities, including for the sake of convenience. For Services that are not On Demand, the Agreement can only be terminated in accordance with the conditions agreed upon in the Special Terms and Conditions. If there are no conditions specified, the Services can be terminated at any time, except for instance reservations which are still firmly and irrevocably ordered without the possibility of early termination.

2) Termination comes into effect fifteen (15) business days after (i) the acknowledgment of receipt from OUTSCALE INC., if the termination takes place at the initiative of you or (ii) the date on which the termination email was sent by OUTSCALE INC., if the termination decision is made by OUTSCALE INC. Before the effective Termination Date, you must immediately recover all your Data hosted within the framework of the Agreement terminated, as specified in Articles 6.

3) Termination for Cause

i. By Either Party. Either party may terminate this Agreement for cause if the other party is in material breach of this Agreement and the material breach remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days from receipt of notice by the other party. You shall close your account no later than the Termination Date.

ii. By Us. We may also terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to you (A) for cause if we have the right to suspend under Section 6, (B) if our relationship with a third-party partner who provides software or other technology, we use to provide the Service Offerings, including the Service Provider, expires, terminates or requires us to change the way we provide the software or other technology as part of the Services, or (C) in order to comply with the law or requests of governmental entities.

7.3. Effect of Termination.

1) Generally. Upon the Termination Date:

i. except as provided in Section 7.3(2), all your rights under this Agreement immediately terminate.

ii. you remain responsible for all fees and charges you have incurred through the Termination Date and are responsible for any fees and charges you incur during the post-termination period described in Section 7.3(2).

iii. you will immediately return or, if instructed by us, destroy all OUTSCALE INC. Content in your possession; and

iv. All sections that are by their nature are intended to survive termination shall continue to apply in accordance with their terms.

v. The termination of the Agreement, whether at the initiative of OUTSCALE INC. or you, does not release you from your obligation to pay for those Services already used.

2) Post-Termination. Unless we terminate your use of the Service Offerings pursuant to Section 7.2(3)(ii), during the 30 days following the Termination Date:

i. we will not take action to remove from the OUTSCALE INC. systems any of Your Content as a result of the termination; and

ii. we will allow you to retrieve Your Content from the Services only if you have paid all amounts due under this Agreement.

3) In the event that you violate your financial obligations, such as late payment or refusal to pay, you will be served formal notice by email to remedy said violation within seven (7) business days. After this formal notice, if no action is taken, OUTSCALE INC. may block your access to the resources supplied as part of the Services (including the related Data) and suspend the Services. If this formal notice has produced no effect within the given timeframe, termination comes into effect automatically ten (10) business days following the notice of termination. The termination does not release you from your obligation to pay for the Services already used.

4) For any use of the Services after the Termination Date, the terms of this Agreement will apply, and you will pay the applicable fees at the rates under Section 5.

8. Proprietary Rights.
