Customer may purchase the right to access and use the OVHcloud Services by (i) registering for the applicable OVHcloud Services through Customer’s Account, or (ii) executing an OVHcloud Order Form. OVHcloud offers different types of rates depending on the type of OVHcloud Service (monthly flat-rate, yearly flat-rate, metered-usage, etc.). These rates may be linked to a commitment to a particular period of use and/or a specific method of invoicing. Purchase of the OVHcloud Services includes access to any applicable Support during the Service Term. The provisioning time for OVHcloud Services may vary depending on the OVHcloud Services ordered. Some OVHcloud Services are made available only upon receipt by OVHcloud of payment from Customer in advance for the relevant OVHcloud Services. It is the responsibility of Customer to ensure the delivery terms for the ordered OVHcloud Services meets Customer’s needs.
- PAYMENT METHOD. Customer will pay OVHcloud in accordance with the payment method identified in Customer’s Account or in an OVHcloud Order Form, as applicable. Payment method options may include payment (i) by credit card, (ii) via eCheck/ACH, or (iii) through an online account with a third-party provider, such as Paypal. If Customer makes an automatic payment arrangement, OVHcloud will provide Customer with a writing or its electronic equivalent describing the terms of such automatic payment arrangement. To use this automatic payment arrangement, Customer agrees to receive the terms of such authorization electronically as set forth herein. Customer also agrees that its electronic acceptance of the terms of such authorizations will constitute valid and binding electronic signature that will have the same force and effect as a handwritten signature by Customer. Customer will provide true, complete and accurate information with respect to the applicable method of payment and agrees to promptly contact OVHcloud and to otherwise update Customer’s Account if any such information needs to be updated. Customer will ensure that Customer has sufficient funds or credit (as applicable) associated with the selected method of payment. Customer understands that the amounts charged or debited may vary and that this authorization will remain in effect until the expiration or termination of this Agreement. If an ACH payment is returned from the applicable bank account for insufficient or uncollected funds or for erroneous information, OVHcloud may reinitiate the returned ACH debit to the applicable bank account. Any amounts owed to OVHcloud that cannot be collected by ACH debit may be charged to any backup credit card on file for Customer.
- PURCHASE ORDER. Customer may elect to issue a purchase order to OVHcloud or an OVHcloud Partner, as applicable, by indicating its preference to do so on the applicable OVHcloud Order Form. If Customer so elects to issue a purchase order, Customer must issue such purchase order to OVHcloud or an OVHcloud Partner within five (5) business days from the Effective Date of any OVHcloud Order Form, or OVHcloud shall have the option to cancel the OVHcloud Order Form and its terms shall be null and void. Any additional or conflicting terms contained in any Customer purchase order, proposal or other document shall be deemed to be rejected by OVHcloud without need of further notice of objection, even if such document is acknowledged or accepted by OVHcloud, and regardless of any statement to the contrary which may be contained therein, and shall be of no effect or in any way binding upon OVHcloud.
- PAYMENT TERMS. Customers who choose to pay by credit card or PayPal shall be charged on behalf of OVHcloud on or about the date Customer is invoiced by OVHcloud for the OVHcloud Services purchased. Subject to a successful credit check initiated by OVHcloud, Customers that pay by eCheck or ACH will pay all invoices issued by OVHcloud within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of the invoice or as otherwise set forth in an applicable OVHcloud Order Form. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Customer has arranged for payment by credit card or PayPal, OVHcloud may charge Customer’s payment method, which may be Customer’s card, on or after the invoice date. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, all Fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable. Unless otherwise set forth in the Service Specific Terms, all monthly or prepaid Fees will be due in advance and all Fees based on actual metered usage of an OVHcloud Service will be due in arrears. If any payment is delinquent (including if payment is late due to a credit card chargeback or insufficient funds), OVHcloud may, without limiting any remedies available to OVHcloud: (i) terminate this Agreement and/or any applicable OVHcloud Order Form; or (ii) suspend performance of or access to the applicable OVHcloud Services, until payment is made current. Customer will pay interest on all delinquent amounts at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law. If OVHcloud terminates this Agreement for non-payment, the Fees for the remainder of the Service Term shall be due immediately. Customer will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by OVHcloud in collecting any delinquent amounts. All Fees are exclusive of all sales, use, excise, value added, withholding and other taxes, and all customs duties and tariffs now or hereafter claimed or imposed by any governmental authority upon the OVHcloud Services will be paid by Customer. OVHcloud reserves the right to increase prices for OVHcloud Services at any time, although increases in prices for OVHcloud Services will not go into effect until the next renewal of the Service Term. Upon commencement of any Renewal Term, unless otherwise provided in the terms of an applicable promotion or provided in an OVHcloud Order, any promotional pricing or discounts shall automatically discontinue, and Customer shall be charged the rates for the OVHcloud Services posted on the OVHcloud website or detailed in the applicable OVHcloud Order Form. If Customer purchases through an OVHcloud Partner, all fees and other procurement and delivery terms will be agreed between Customer and the applicable OVHcloud Partner. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, OVHCLOUD IS NOT OBLIGATED TO REFUND ANY FEES OR OTHER PAYMENTS ALREADY PAID, AND ANY CANCELLATION BY CUSTOMER WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE END OF THE APPLICABLE SERVICE TERM.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as You used for the initial transaction, unless You have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, You will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. If You are a consumer based in the EU and You have agreed to the OVHcloud Services commencing immediately, You will be required to pay a pro-rated amount of the Fees applicable to the OVHcloud Services You have requested based on the initial Fees You have paid for the OVHcloud Services and the date on which You exercise Your statutory right to cancel the Agreement.

CONFIDENTIALITY
As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means, subject to the exceptions set forth in the following sentence, any information or data, regardless of whether it is in tangible form, disclosed by either OVHcloud or Customer (the “Disclosing Party“) that the Disclosing Party has either marked as confidential or proprietary, or has identified in writing as confidential or proprietary within thirty (30) calendar days of disclosure to the other party (the “Receiving Party“); provided, however, that a Disclosing Party’s business plans, strategies, technology, research and development, current and prospective customers, billing records, and products or services will be deemed Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party even if not so marked or identified. OVHcloud’s Confidential Information includes, without limitation, the OVHcloud Services, any information related thereto and the Login Credentials. Information will not be deemed Confidential Information if such information: (a) is known to the Receiving Party prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party; (b) becomes known (independently of disclosure by the Disclosing Party) to the Receiving Party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party; (c) becomes publicly known or otherwise ceases to be secret or confidential, except through a breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party; or (d) is developed independently by the Receiving Party without use of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Each party agrees that it will use the Confidential Information of the other party solely to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement. Neither OVHcloud nor Customer will disclose, or permit to be disclosed, the other party’s Confidential Information directly or indirectly, to any third party without the other party’s prior written consent. Both OVHcloud and Customer will use commercially reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality and value of the other party’s Confidential Information. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, either party may disclose the other party’s Confidential Information, in whole or in part: (i) to its employees, officers, directors, consultants and professional advisers (e.g., attorneys, auditors, financial advisors, accountants and other professional representatives) who have a need to know and are legally bound to keep such Confidential Information confidential by confidentiality obligations or, in the case of professional advisors, are bound by ethical duties to keep such Confidential Information confidential consistent with the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) as required by Applicable Law (in which case each party will, if permitted by Applicable Law, provide the other with prior written notification thereof and use its reasonable efforts to minimize such disclosure to the extent permitted by Applicable Law). Both OVHcloud and Customer agree to exercise due care in protecting the Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure. In the event of an actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section, the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without waiving any other rights or remedies available to it. Both OVHcloud and Customer will promptly notify the other in writing if it becomes aware of any violations of the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Agreement.

- RESTRICTIONS. Except as otherwise expressly provided under this Agreement, Customer will have no right, and Customer specifically agrees not to, and will take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that each User does not: (i) transfer, assign or sublicense the OVHcloud Services to another person or entity, and Customer acknowledges that any such attempted transfer, assignment or sublicense will be void; (ii) make error corrections to, or otherwise modify or adapt, the OVHcloud Services or create derivative works based upon the OVHcloud Services, or permit third parties to do the same; (iii) reverse engineer or decompile, decrypt, disassemble or otherwise reduce the OVHcloud Services to human-readable form, except to the extent otherwise expressly permitted under Applicable Law notwithstanding this restriction; (iv) disclose, provide or otherwise make available trade secrets contained within the OVHcloud Services in any form, to any third party without the prior written consent of OVHcloud; or (vi) use or access the OVHcloud Services (A) to develop any similar software applications, products or services, (B) to spam, distribute malware or conduct other malicious, abusive, intrusive or illegal activities, including denial of service attacks, (C) to engage in crypto currency mining, (D) in a way that could harm the OVHcloud Services or impair anyone else’s use of it, (E) in a way intended to work around the OVHcloud Services’ technical limitations, recurring fees or usage limits, (F) to violate any rights of others, (G) to try to gain unauthorized access to, test the vulnerability of, or disrupt the OVHcloud Services or any other service, device, data account or network or (H) in any application or situation where failure of the OVHcloud Services could lead to the death or serious bodily injury of any person or to severe physical or environmental damage.

Customer further acknowledges that OVHcloud may collect Usage Data and may aggregate and/or anonymize Usage Data to use for statistical purposes and share samples of such aggregated and/or anonymized Usage Data with other third parties.

- DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT. OVHcloud respects the intellectual property rights of others, and we require our Customers to do the same. The contact information for our Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA“) agent is as follows:
If you believe your copyright is being infringed by content on the OVHcloud network, please submit a notice of infringement via our Webform, located here:
REPORT COPYRIGHT ABUSE
The Webform is the fastest and easiest way to report possible copyright infringement. OVHcloud is committed to managing copyright complaints responsibly and in compliance with applicable laws, but OVHcloud cannot determine whether something is being used legally without input from the copyright holders. In those circumstances where the United States DMCA is applicable, it is our policy to expeditiously process all valid notices of alleged copyright infringement. Please note that sending a DMCA notice initiates a statutorily-defined legal process and we will share your full notice, including your contact information, with the OVHcloud customer at issue. In most instances, OVHcloud does not have access to particular content hosted by OVHcloud customers. Thus, upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, OVHcloud will forward your notice to the appropriate OVHcloud customer and require a timely and adequate response from the OVHcloud customer. You may also send your DMCA notice directly to the OVHcloud customer as well. OVHcloud has adopted and reasonably implemented a policy that provides for suspension of IP’s containing infringing content data that is not promptly removed by OVHcloud customers, temporary suspension of an OVHcloud customer’s account and termination in appropriate circumstances of OVHcloud customers who are repeat infringers. For additional details and information concerning OVHcloud’s DMCA policies and procedures, please click here.

This Agreement will be effective upon Customer’s execution of an OVHcloud Order Form or when Customer otherwise clicks a box agreeing to this Agreement (during Account creation or otherwise) and, unless earlier terminated as set forth in this Agreement, continue in effect for the initial service term identified on the OVHcloud Order Form or selected in the Account, as applicable (the “Initial Service Term“). UNLESS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN AN OVHCLOUD ORDER FORM, IF APPLICABLE, THIS AGREEMENT WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW FOR ADDITIONAL PERIODS OF EQUAL DURATION (EACH, A “RENEWAL TERM“), UNLESS EITHER PARTY GIVES NOTICE OF NON-RENEWAL AT LEAST THIRTY (30) CALENDAR DAYS PRIOR TO THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT SERVICE TERM OR, IF THE SERVICE TERM IS MONTH-TO-MONTH, EITHER PARTY MAY GIVE NOTICE OF NON-RENEWAL ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE END OF THE THEN CURRENT SERVICE TERM. You may provide notice of non-renewal by submitting a support ticket online through Your OVHcloud Account.
- TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE. Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement, Customer may terminate this Agreement for convenience at any time by giving OVHcloud at least thirty (30) calendar days’ advance written notice. If Customer elects to terminate this Agreement for convenience in accordance with this Section 9(b), they shall be subject to an early termination fee equal to the monthly recurring Fees multiplied by the number of months remaining in the Service Term.
- TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. In addition to any other termination rights set forth in this Agreement, (i) OVHcloud can terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Customer if Customer breaches Section 5(b) or Section 7(b); and (ii) either party can terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other party if (A) such other party breaches this Agreement (other than breaches of Section 5(b) or 7(b)) and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice thereof or (B) such other party (1) becomes insolvent, admits in writing its inability to pay debts as they mature or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (2) becomes subject to control of a trustee, receiver or similar authority or any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; or (3) an equivalent or similar event or proceeding occurs in respect of the Customer in any jurisdiction (in each case of (1), (2) and (3), which, if initiated involuntarily, is not dismissed within forty-five (45) calendar days of its institution).
- EFFECTS OF TERMINATION. THE TERMINATION OF THE OVHCLOUD SERVICES WILL CAUSE SUCH OVHCLOUD SERVICES TO CEASE FUNCTIONING AND RESULT IN CUSTOMER NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCESS ANY CONTENT DATA. FOLLOWING TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, OVHCLOUD WILL DESTROY ALL CONTENT DATA (WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO SECTION 9(e) BELOW). The termination of this Agreement for any reason will not affect: (i) the obligations of Customer and OVHcloud to account for and pay to one another any amounts for which they are obligated by virtue of transactions or events which occurred prior to the effective date of termination; or (ii) any other obligation or liability which either Customer or OVHcloud has to the other under this Agreement and which, by its nature, would reasonably be expected to survive termination. The following Sections will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: 1, 3(b), 3(c), 4, 5, 6(c), 7(a), 9(d), 9(e), 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 19.
- CONTENT DATA POST EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION. Before expiration or termination of the applicable Service Term, OVHcloud recommends that Customer ensures it places a copy of its Content Data in a place that can be accessed without the OVHcloud Services. Provided that Customer is in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, OVHcloud may extend Customer’s ability to access the OVHcloud Services for fifteen (15) calendar days following the end of the Service Term if Customer notifies OVHcloud via email (directed to support@us.ovhcloud.com) prior to the end of the Service Term. In such event, (i) OVHcloud will enable Customer’s access to the OVHcloud Services for a maximum of fifteen (15) calendar days following the end of the Service Term (at no additional cost to Customer) for the sole purpose of enabling Customer’s retrieval of its Content Data, and (ii) Customer’s use of the OVHcloud Services during such complimentary period is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. OVHcloud is not responsible for the availability or accessibility of Content Data following the later of (A) the expiration of the complimentary period should Customer make such request or (B) the end of the Service Term. Based on a subpoena, law enforcement request, court order or your violation of this Agreement, OVHcloud may terminate your account immediately. In such cases, Customer may not be provided with the ability to access and retrieve their Content Data.
-
SUSPENSION
- GENERALLY. OVHcloud may suspend Your use of the OVHcloud Services if OVHcloud reasonably determines: (i) Customer, or Customer’s use of the OVHcloud Services, is in breach of this Agreement; (ii) Customer fails to address OVHcloud’s request to take action as specified in Section 7(b); (iii) Customer’s use of the OVHcloud Services poses a security risk to the OVHcloud Services or other users of the OVHcloud Services; (iv) suspension is warranted pursuant to OVHcloud’s receipt of a subpoena, court order, or a request by a law enforcement agency; or (v) as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. OVHcloud may give You notice before OVHcloud suspends You, subject to Applicable Law. However, OVHcloud reserves the right to suspend You, without prior notice if, in OVHcloud’s sole discretion, you have violated this Agreement or OVHcloud reasonably determines that providing You with notice presents risk of harm to the OVHcloud Services or any person or property. OVHcloud is entitled to obtain injunctive relief if Customer’s use of the OVHcloud Services is in violation of any restrictions set forth in this Agreement.
- EFFECT OF SUSPENSION. You will remain responsible for all Fees incurred before or during any suspension. You will not be entitled to any service credits under any applicable Service Level Agreement that You might have otherwise accrued during the period of suspension.
-
ALLOCATION OF RISK
Customer acknowledges and agrees that OVHcloud has set its prices and entered into this Agreement and permitted Customer’s access to the OVHcloud Services in reliance upon the disclaimers of warranty and the limitations of liability in this Agreement, that the same reflect an allocation of risk between OVHcloud and Customer (including the risk that a contract remedy may fail of its essential purpose and cause consequential loss), and that the same form an essential basis of the bargain between OVHcloud and Customer. If Customer is subject to Applicable Laws that prohibit Customer from indemnifying OVHcloud as set forth herein or prohibit Customer from entering into the risk allocation arrangement set forth herein, then the terms of such provisions of this Agreement will apply to Customer only to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, it being understood that Customer and OVHcloud each wish to enforce the provisions of this Agreement to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law.
