Master Services Agreement (MSA)

1. Legal

This Master Services Agreement (also called the MSA or THIS AGREEMENT) is executed between the Client and Phoenix NAP, LLC (PNAP). This MSA, accompanied by our Privacy Policy (PP), Service Level Agreement (SLA), Contracting Party Addendum (CPA), PCI DSS Addendum, and Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)--governs the Core services that PNAP provides, and defines the terms of the basic agreement between Client and PNAP. Because PNAP offers many services, some of which require some auxiliary agreements, this document will provide the fundamental terms for Core services, and any additional services that Client would like to have us provide will be detailed in service-specific addendums. Examples of possible addendums include, but are not limited to, Colo Services, Cloud Services, and Managed Services.

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 (as well as any future updates to the MSA that PNAP may make from time to time).
  • This MSA, the PP, SLA, CPA, 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

  1. Client agrees to pay all fees, costs, and charges as outlined in this agreement and the Client Service Order Form (SOF). PNAP will provide Client with the services listed on the SOF and RM and gives Client the right to use and occupy the Client services/Area for permitted purposes.
  2. Additional services and/or space in the facility are available, for a fee; these changes shall be recorded in a new SOF or a Change Order.
  3. PNAP will bill Client monthly by sending Client an invoice. Payment for License Fees, costs, and charges is due, in full and in advance the first day of the term month. Other fees and charges on the invoice must be paid within 30 (thirty) days of Clients receipt of the invoice.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 page), or may be made by any electronic method made available in the control panel.
  6. Delinquent payments can harm Client credit with us, 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.
  7. 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 us. 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 our agreement with each other as long as Client's account is paid in full.
  8. PNAP is required to collect taxes for some services and products; if taxes are due on a service PNAP will bill for them on the invoice.
  9. Occasionally, a utility provider might change the amounts that they charge us for power delivery, resulting an increased cost for power delivery that is passed on to Client.
  10. If Client orders something from us that requires a cost or expense to be incurred by us and Client pre-approved those expenses or those expenses are otherwise covered in this agreement, Client will be required to reimburse us for those expenses or costs.
  11. If PNAP or Client dispute any aspect of this agreement and litigation or dispute resolution 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 us are included in this provision.
  12. Licensing fees may change from time to time and fee increases are effective on the (yearly) anniversary of the date PNAP started billing Client.
  13. 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

  1. This entire agreement is effective for the duration of the initial term listed on Client SOF and any subsequent terms.
  2. The Commencement Date listed on the SOF is the date that the term begins on. 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. A change may or may not result in lowering of License Fees.
  3. If Client orders several items 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.
  4. This contract 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. Either party will have the right to terminate the contract by giving at least 30 days’ written notice to the other party to terminate the agreement at the end of the then current term.
