Professional Services
The Company may perform Professional Services — including site deployment, hardware integration, network design, migration assistance, and operational training — as described in a separately executed order form or statement of work, which may identify additional terms, deliverables, or milestones. In such cases, you will give the Company timely access to the materials, facilities, and personnel reasonably needed to render the Professional Services, and the Company will use your materials only for purposes of providing those services.

Fees may include recurring colocation and rack-space charges, metered power consumption, network transit, managed-service fees, and non-recurring deployment or remote-hands charges. You will provide complete and accurate billing information, including a valid and authorized payment method.
- Where the Company replenishes a prepaid balance, you authorize the Company, its affiliates, and its third-party payment processors to charge your payment method for the Fees up to the agreed replenishment cap. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement or in an order form, payment obligations are non-cancelable, fees are non-pro-ratable for partial billing periods, and fees paid are non-refundable.
- The Company may suspend your access to the Services immediately upon notice if you fail to pay any amounts hereunder more than five (5) days past the applicable due date. Past-due balances accrue interest at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by law.
- All amounts payable under this Agreement are exclusive of any sales, use, value-added, withholding, or other taxes or duties (collectively, “Taxes”), other than Taxes based on the Company’s net income. You are solely responsible for the payment of all such Taxes.
Intellectual Property
- The Company exclusively owns all right, title, and interest in and to the Website, the Software, the Services, the Professional Services deliverables (excluding pre-existing Customer materials incorporated therein), the Usage Data, the Company’s operational know-how, and all related data and improvements (collectively, “Company IP”). Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, the Company grants you a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable right and license to use the Company IP solely as permitted by this Agreement. The Company reserves all intellectual property and other proprietary rights not expressly granted.
- As between you and the Company, you exclusively own all right, title, and interest in your Customer Data and any equipment you place with the Company. Your use of the Services and the Service Outputs does not grant you ownership of any Company IP or any underlying technology. You grant the Company a limited, non-exclusive license to access, host, transmit, copy, and otherwise process your Customer Data solely as necessary to provide and improve the Services and to enforce this Agreement.
- All software, firmware, models, datasets, or other intellectual property licensed to you by third parties remains the property of the respective third-party owner and is subject to its license terms.
- The Company may collect and generate aggregated or de-identified technical data relating to your use of the Services (“Usage Data”), including system logs, performance metrics, utilization statistics, and operational metadata, but excluding your Customer Data and any personally identifying information. The Company may use Usage Data for purposes including improving, maintaining, and securing the Services, capacity planning, developing new features, monitoring for abuse, and conducting analytics. The Company will not use Usage Data in any manner that identifies you.
- If you provide the Company with feedback, suggestions, or recommendations regarding the Services, you grant the Company a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use such feedback without restriction.

The parties will have no confidentiality obligations to each other under this Agreement unless otherwise agreed in a separately executed mutual non-disclosure agreement or master services agreement.

No guarantee of income, utilization, or profitability. The Company makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee — express or implied — regarding the income, revenue, utilization rate, or profitability that you or any equipment owner may realize from participation in the Services.

The Company makes no warranty that (i) the Services will meet your specific requirements, (ii) the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, (iii) the results that may be obtained from the use of the Services will be accurate or reliable, or (iv) the quality of any products, services, information, or other material obtained through the Services will meet your expectations.
Indemnification
The Company will defend you against any claim, demand, suit, or proceeding (a “Claim”) made or brought against you by a third party alleging that the use of the Services as permitted hereunder infringes or misappropriates a United States patent, copyright, or trade secret, and will indemnify you for any damages finally awarded against you (or any settlement approved by the Company) in connection with such a Claim; provided that (a) you promptly notify the Company of such Claim, (b) the Company has sole and exclusive authority to defend and settle the Claim (provided that the Company may not settle any Claim without your prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, unless the settlement unconditionally releases you of all related liability), and (c) you reasonably cooperate with the Company. The Company’s indemnification obligations under this Section are limited to one million dollars (US$1,000,000) in the aggregate. This indemnification does not apply to any Claim arising out of (i) your noncompliance with, or violation of, any third-party license terms; (ii) your use, modification, or redistribution of third-party software, firmware, or models; (iii) the operation of equipment you place with the Company in violation of applicable law; or (iv) any modification of the Services not made by the Company.
