If you are accepting on behalf of Customer, you represent and warrant that: (i) you have full legal authority to bind Customer to this Agreement; (ii) you have read and understand this Agreement; and (iii) you agree, on behalf of Customer, to this Agreement. If you do not have the legal authority to bind Customer, please do not click to accept. This Agreement governs Customer’s access to and use of the Service.

1. Provision of the Services.
1.1 Services Use. Subject to this Agreement, during the Term, Customer may: (a) use the Services, (b) integrate the Services into any Application that has material value independent of the Services, and (c) use any Software provided by Server24 as part of the Services. Customer may not sublicense or transfer these rights except as permitted under the Assignment section of the Agreement.
1.2 Console. Server24 will provide the Services to Customer. As part of receiving the Services, Customer will have access to the Admin Console, through which Customer may administer the Services.
1.3 Facilities. All facilities used to store and process an Application and Customer Data will adhere to reasonable security standards no less protective than the security standards at facilities where Server24 processes and stores its own information of a similar type. Server24 has implemented at least industry standard systems and procedures to (i) ensure the security and confidentiality of an Application and Customer Data, (ii) protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of an Application and Customer Data, and (iii) protect against unauthorized access to or use of an Application and Customer Data.
1.4 Data Location. Customer may select where certain Customer Data will be stored (“Data Location Selection”), and Server24 will store it there in accordance with the Service Specific Terms. If a Data Location Selection is not covered by the Service Specific Terms (or a Data Location Selection is not made by Customer with respect to any Customer Data), Server24 may process and store the Customer Data anywhere Server24 or its agents maintain facilities. By using the Services, Customer consents to this processing and storage of Customer Data. Under this Agreement, Server24 is merely a data processor.
1.5 Accounts. Customer must have an Account and a Token (if applicable) to use the Services, and is responsible for the information it provides to create the Account, the security of the Token and its passwords for the Account, and for any use of its Account and the Token. If Customer becomes aware of any unauthorized use of its password, its Account or the Token, Customer will notify Server24 as promptly as possible. Server24 has no obligation to provide Customer multiple Tokens or Accounts.
1.6 New Applications and Services. Server24 may: (i) make new applications, tools, features or functionality available from time to time through the Services and (ii) add new services to the “Services” definition from time to time (by adding them at the URL set forth under that definition), the use of which may be contingent upon Customer’s agreement to additional terms.
1.7 Modifications.
a. To the Services. Server24 may make commercially reasonable updates to the Services from time to time. If Server24 makes a material change to the Services, Server24 will inform Customer, provided that Customer has subscribed with Server24 to be informed about such change.
b. To the Agreement. Server24 may make changes to this Agreement, including pricing (and any linked documents) from time to time. Unless otherwise noted by Server24, material changes to the Agreement will become effective 30 days after they are posted, except if the changes apply to new functionality in which case they will be effective immediately. Server24 will provide at least 90 days’ advance notice for materially adverse changes to any SLAs by either: (i) sending an email to Customer’s primary point of contact; (ii) posting a notice in the Admin Console; or (iii) posting a notice to the applicable SLA webpage. If Customer does not agree to the revised Agreement, please stop using the Services. Server24 will post any modification to this Agreement to the Terms URL.
c. To the Data Processing and Security Terms. Server24 may only change the Data Processing and Security Terms where such change is required to comply with applicable law, applicable regulation, court order, or guidance issued by a governmental regulator or agency, where such change is expressly permitted by the Data Processing and Security Terms, or where such change:
(i) is commercially reasonable;
(ii) does not result in a degradation of the overall security of the Services;
(iii) does not expand the scope of or remove any restrictions on Server24’s processing of Customer Personal Data, as described in Section 5.2 (Scope of Processing) of the Data Processing and Security Terms; and
(iv) does not otherwise have a material adverse impact on Customer’s rights under the Data Processing and Security Terms.
If Server24 makes a material change to the Data Processing and Security Terms in accordance with this Section, Server24 will post the modification to the URL containing those terms.
1.8 Service Specific Terms and Data Processing and Security Terms. The Service Specific Terms and Data Processing and Security Terms are incorporated by this reference into the Agreement.
2. Payment Terms.
2.1 Free Quota. Certain Services are provided to Customer without charge up to the Fee Threshold, as applicable.
2.2 Online Billing. At the end of the applicable Fee Accrual Period, Server24 will issue an electronic bill to Customer for all charges accrued above the Fee Threshold based on (i) Customer’s use of the Services during the previous Fee Accrual Period (including, if any, the relevant Fee for TSS set forth in the Fees definition below); (ii) any Reserved Units selected; (iii) any Committed Purchases selected; and/or (iv) any Package Purchases selected. For use above the Fee Threshold, Customer will be responsible for all Fees up to the amount set in the Account and will pay all Fees in the currency set forth in the invoice. If Customer elects to pay by credit card, debit card, or other non-invoiced form of payment, Server24 will charge (and Customer will pay) all Fees immediately at the end of the Fee Accrual Period. If Customer elects to pay by invoice (and Server24 agrees), all Fees are due as set forth in the invoice. Customer’s obligation to pay all Fees is non-cancellable. Server24’s measurement of Customer’s use of the Services is final. Server24 has no obligation to provide multiple bills. Payments made via wire transfer must include the bank information provided by Server24. If Customer has entered into the Agreement with W24G, Server24 may collect payments via PayPal or Stripe.
2.3 Taxes. (a) Customer is responsible for any Taxes, and Customer will pay Server24 for the Services without any reduction for Taxes. If Server24 is obligated to collect or pay Taxes, the Taxes will be invoiced to Customer, unless Customer provides Server24 with a timely and valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. In some states the sales tax is due on the total purchase price at the time of sale and must be invoiced and collected at the time of the sale. If Customer is required by law to withhold any Taxes from its payments to Server24, Customer must provide Server24 with an official tax receipt or other appropriate documentation to support such withholding. If under the applicable tax legislation the Services are subject to local VAT and the Customer is required to make a withholding of local VAT from amounts payable to Server24, the value of Services calculated in accordance with the above procedure will be increased (grossed up) by the Customer for the respective amount of local VAT and the grossed up amount will be regarded as a VAT inclusive price. Local VAT amount withheld from the VAT-inclusive price will be remitted to the applicable local tax entity by the Customer and Customer will ensure that Server24 will receives payment for its services for the net amount as would otherwise be due (the VAT inclusive price less the local VAT withheld and remitted to applicable tax authority).
(b) If required under applicable law, Customer will provide Server24 with applicable tax identification information that Server24 may require to ensure its compliance with applicable tax regulations and authorities in applicable jurisdictions. Customer will be liable to pay (or reimburse Server24 for) any taxes, interest, penalties or fines arising out of any mis-declaration by the Customer.
2.4 Invoice Disputes & Refunds. Any invoice disputes must be submitted prior to the payment due date. If the parties determine that certain billing inaccuracies are attributable to Server24, Server24 will not issue a corrected invoice, but will instead issue a credit memo specifying the incorrect amount in the affected invoice. If the disputed invoice has not yet been paid, Server24 will apply the credit memo amount to the disputed invoice and Customer will be responsible for paying the resulting net balance due on that invoice. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Customer waives all claims relating to Fees unless claimed within sixty days after charged (this does not affect any Customer rights with its credit card issuer). Refunds (if any) are at the discretion of Server24 and will only be in the form of credit for the Services. Nothing in this Agreement obligates Server24 to extend credit to any party.
2.5 Delinquent Payments; Suspension. Late payments may bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) from the payment due date until paid in full. Customer will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Server24 in collecting such delinquent amounts. If Customer is late on payment for the Services, Server24 may Suspend the Services or terminate the Agreement for breach pursuant to Section 9.2.
2.6 No Purchase Order Number Required. For clarity, Customer is obligated to pay all applicable Fees without any requirement for Server24 to provide a purchase order number on Server24’s invoice (or otherwise).
3. Customer Obligations.
3.1 Compliance. Customer is solely responsible for its Applications, Projects, and Customer Data and for making sure its Applications, Projects, and Customer Data comply with the AUP. Server24 reserves the right to review the Application, Project, and Customer Data for compliance with the AUP. Customer is responsible for ensuring all Customer End Users comply with Customer’s obligations under the AUP, the Service Specific Terms, and the restrictions in Sections 3.3 and 3.5 below.
3.2 Privacy. Customer will obtain and maintain any required consents necessary to permit the processing of Customer Data under this Agreement.
3.3 Restrictions. Customer will not, and will not allow third parties under its control to: (a) copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, decompile, translate, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to extract any or all of the source code of the Services (subject to Section 3.4 below and except to the extent such restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law); (b) use the Services for High Risk Activities; (c) sublicense, resell, or distribute any or all of the Services separate from any integrated Application; (d) create multiple Applications, Accounts, or Projects to simulate or act as a single Application, Account, or Project (respectively) or otherwise access the Services in a manner intended to avoid incurring Fees or exceed usage limits or quotas; (e) unless otherwise set forth in the Service Specific Terms, use the Services to operate or enable any telecommunications service or in connection with any Application that allows Customer End Users to place calls or to receive calls from any public switched telephone network; or (f) process or store any Customer Data that is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations maintained by the Department of State. Unless otherwise specified in writing by Server24, Server24 does not intend uses of the Services to create obligations under HIPAA, and makes no representations that the Services satisfy HIPAA requirements. If Customer is (or becomes) a Covered Entity or Business Associate, as defined in HIPAA, Customer will not use the Services for any purpose or in any manner involving Protected Health Information (as defined in HIPAA) unless Customer has received prior written consent to such use from Server24.
3.4 Third Party Components. Third party components (which may include open source software) of the Services may be subject to separate license agreements. To the limited extent a third party license expressly supersedes this Agreement, that third party license governs Customer’s use of that third party component.
3.5 Documentation. Server24 may provide Documentation for Customer’s use of the Services. The Documentation may specify restrictions (e.g. attribution or HTML restrictions) on how the Applications may be built or the Services may be used and Customer will comply with any such restrictions specified.
3.6 Copyright Policy. Server24 provides information to help copyright holders manage their intellectual property online, but Server24 cannot determine whether something is being used legally or not without their input. Server24 responds to notices of alleged copyright infringement and terminates accounts of repeat infringers according to applicable copyright laws including in particular the process set out in the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If Customer thinks somebody is violating Customer’s or Customer End Users’ copyrights and wants to notify Server24, Customer can find information about submitting notices, and Server24’s policy about responding to notices at http://www.server24.net/dmca.
4. Suspension.
4.1 AUP Violations. If Server24 becomes aware that Customer’s or any Customer End User’s use of the Services violates the AUP, Server24 will give Customer notice of the violation by requesting that Customer correct the violation. If Customer fails to correct the violation within 24 hours of Server24’s request, then Server24 may Suspend all or part of Customer’s use of the Services until the violation is corrected.
4.2 Other Suspension. Notwithstanding Section 4.1 (AUP Violations) Server24 may immediately Suspend all or part of Customer’s use of the Services if: (a) Server24 believes Customer’s or any Customer End User’s use of the Services could adversely impact the Services, other customers’ or their end users’ use of the Services, or the Server24 network or servers used to provide the Services, which may include use of the Services for cryptocurrency mining without Server24’s prior written approval; (b) there is suspected unauthorized third-party access to the Services; (c) Server24 believes it is required to Suspend immediately to comply with applicable law; or (d) Customer is in breach of Section 3.3 (Restrictions). Server24 will lift any such Suspension when the circumstances giving rise to the Suspension have been resolved. At Customer’s request, unless prohibited by applicable law, Server24 will notify Customer of the basis for the Suspension as soon as is reasonably possible.
5. Intellectual Property Rights; Use of Customer Data; Feedback; Benchmarking.
5.1 Intellectual Property Rights. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement does not grant either party any rights, implied or otherwise, to the other’s content or any of the other’s intellectual property. As between the parties, Customer owns all Intellectual Property Rights in Customer Data and the Application or Project (if applicable), and Server24 owns all Intellectual Property Rights in the Services and Software.
5.2 Use of Customer Data. Server24 will not access or use Customer Data, except as necessary to provide the Services and TSS to Customer.
5.3 Customer Feedback. If Customer provides Server24 Feedback about the Services, then Server24 may use that information without obligation to Customer, and Customer hereby irrevocably assigns to Server24 all right, title, and interest in that Feedback.
5.4 Benchmarking. Customer may not publicly disclose directly or through a third party the results of any comparative or compatibility testing, benchmarking, or evaluation (each, a “Test”) of the Services, unless the disclosure includes all information necessary for Server24 or a third party to replicate the Test. If Customer conducts, or directs a third party to conduct, a Test of the Services and publicly discloses the results directly or through a third party, then Server24 (or a Server24-directed third party) may conduct Tests of any publicly available products or services provided by Customer and publicly disclose the results of any such Test (which disclosure will include all information necessary for Customer or a third party to replicate the Test). To the extent this Section 5.4 conflicts with any other Customer product or service terms, this Section 5.4 will govern.
6. Technical Support Services
6.1 By Customer. Customer is responsible for technical support of its Applications and Projects.
6.2 By Server24. Subject to payment of applicable support Fees, Server24 will provide TSS to Customer during the Term in accordance with the TSS Guidelines. Certain TSS levels include a minimum recurring Fee as described in the “Fees” definition below. If Customer downgrades its TSS level during any calendar month, Server24 may continue to provide TSS at the same level and TSS Fees before the downgrade for the remainder of that month.
7. Deprecation of Services
7.1 Discontinuance of Services. Subject to Section 7.2, Server24 may discontinue any Services or any portion or feature for any reason at any time without liability to Customer.
7.2 Deprecation Policy. Server24 will announce if it intends to discontinue or make backwards incompatible changes to the Services specified at the URL in the next sentence. Server24 will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to operate those Services versions and features identified at https://www.server24.eu/terms/deprecation without these changes for at least one year after that announcement, unless (as Server24 determines in its reasonable good faith judgment):
(i) required by law or third party relationship (including if there is a change in applicable law or relationship), or
(ii) doing so could create a security risk or substantial economic or material technical burden.
The above policy is the “Deprecation Policy.”
8. Confidential Information.
8.1 Obligations. The recipient will not disclose the Confidential Information, except to Affiliates, employees, agents or professional advisors who need to know it and who have agreed in writing (or in the case of professional advisors are otherwise bound) to keep it confidential. The recipient will ensure that those people and entities use the received Confidential Information only to exercise rights and fulfill obligations under this Agreement, while using reasonable care to keep it confidential.
8.2 Required Disclosure. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the recipient may also disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by applicable Legal Process; provided that the recipient uses commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) promptly notify the other party of such disclosure before disclosing; and (ii) comply with the other party’s reasonable requests regarding its efforts to oppose the disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subsections (i) and (ii) above will not apply if the recipient determines that complying with (i) and (ii) could: (a) result in a violation of Legal Process; (b) obstruct a governmental investigation; and/or (c) lead to death or serious physical harm to an individual. As between the parties, Customer is responsible for responding to all third party requests concerning its use and Customer End Users’ use of the Services.
