1. Acceptance of Terms
Services begin when we first provision access or deliver labor. These Terms prevail over any conflicting purchase order or other document unless we sign a separate Master Services Agreement.
2. Definitions
- Service Request – A request for new or modified Services delivered by phone, email, or ticket.
- Client Content – All data, software, or materials you upload, store, or transmit through the Services.

Other capitalized terms have the meanings assigned throughout this Agreement.
3. Grant of Limited License
You grant us a non‑exclusive, worldwide license to host, back up, transmit, and process Client Content solely to provide the Services.
4. Client Content
You are solely responsible for Client Content. We may suspend or remove any content that is harmful, unlawful, or disrupts our operations—without refund.
5. Term & Cancellation
Services renew month‑to‑month unless a Schedule specifies otherwise. Either party may cancel with 60 days’ written notice. License commitments in Schedule C survive.
6. Payments & Billing
- Invoices are due within 10 business days of issue.
- Late balances accrue 1.5 % per month (18 % APR).
- Taxes are extra.
- We may charge cards on file up to 90 days in advance for domain or license renewals.
6.1 Managed Network Infrastructure Billing
Hardware is leased and remains our property. Billing stops when all gear is returned in good condition. Unreturned items after 30 days incur retail cost + $250 administrative fee (see Schedule B).
7. Termination by Service Provider
We may suspend or terminate immediately if you (a) fail to pay, (b) materially breach, (c) engage in abuse or security‑compromising activity, or (d) if continued service becomes unlawful or infeasible.
8. Termination by Client
You remain responsible for all fees through the effective cancellation date.
9. Scope of Services
You may subscribe to any combination of Services listed in Schedule A. Each Service Request will state quantities, pricing, and special conditions.
10. Service Changes
Service Requests must be in writing (ticket, email). We will confirm pricing before implementation.
11. Client Responsibilities
- Provide timely access, cooperation, and accurate contact info.
- Maintain local backups unless you purchase our disaster‑recovery option.
- Maintain compliant end‑user disclosures and licenses.
- Supply and maintain any onsite hardware/software not provided by us.
12. Client Representations & Warranties
You warrant that Client Content (a) is owned or properly licensed, (b) does not infringe third‑party rights, (c) complies with law, and (d) is free of malicious code.
13. Acceptable Use
You will not use the Services to transmit, store, or distribute material that violates law or third‑party rights, nor will you interfere with network integrity.
14. Service Operations & Automated Changes
eProActive tools may apply patches, AV updates, or privilege elevations automatically. You authorize such operations.
15. Intellectual Property & Equipment
We retain all IP in our software, documentation, and hardware. You may not reverse‑engineer or sub‑license them. Equipment must be returned within 14 days of termination or be purchased at full value (Schedule B).
16. Third‑Party & Non‑Service‑Provider Products
Our Services may integrate third‑party offerings (e.g., Microsoft 365, GoDaddy, Vultr). We pass through their warranties only. Your sole remedy for third‑party failures is with the manufacturer.
17. IP Address Assignment
We retain ownership of all IP addresses and may change them with 10 business days’ notice unless shorter notice is required by regulation or upstream provider.
18. Caching & Reproduction Rights
You grant us permission to cache or replicate Client Content for performance, backup, or support purposes.
19. Confidentiality
Each party will protect the other’s non‑public information with the same care it uses for its own, but no less than reasonable care.
20. Security & Spam Filtering
We employ commercially reasonable measures but cannot guarantee 100 % threat elimination. You agree to review quarantined messages and report issues promptly.
21. Backup Services
Unless Schedule A states otherwise, you are responsible for backups. Disaster‑recovery plans we provide are a secondary convenience only. Restores may incur fees up to $500 per incident.
22. Disclaimers
Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim all warranties, express or implied.
23. Security Limitation
You are responsible for internal security practices, credential hygiene, and employee training. We are not liable for breaches caused by your users’ actions.
24. Limitation of Liability
Our total liability for any claim will not exceed the fees you paid in the six (6) months preceding the event, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct, which are uncapped to the extent required by law. We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages.
25. Indemnification
- Mutual IP Indemnity. Each party will defend the other against third‑party claims alleging direct IP infringement by that party’s own deliverables.

The arbitration will occur in the governing venue above and be conducted in English. Either party may seek interim injunctive relief in court.
28. Digital Signature & Electronic Acceptance
Click‑through, email confirmation, or continued use of Services after we reference these Terms constitutes your binding electronic signature under the Texas or Wyoming Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
29. Data Privacy & Compliance
You will comply with all applicable privacy laws (HIPAA, GLBA, etc.). We will assist as commercially reasonable, subject to a signed DPA where required.
30. Data Processing Agreement (DPA)
If you transmit regulated data (PHI, PII, etc.), you must notify us and execute our standard DPA before onboarding. Absent a DPA, Services are provided on a best‑effort basis without additional privacy liability.
